The Effort to Regulate Freight Rates

PITTsBURG. Feb. A call has been issued
for a meeting of the Central traffic association
in Chicago next Thursday TO consider the re-
port of the reorganization committee. The
association includes as its members, the lines
in the territory between Buffalo and Pittsburg
on the east and the Mississippi river on the
west. About forty railroads are now members
and an effort is to be made to have the outside
lines join the organization. The call refers to
the favoIable progress made in the re-organi-
cation Of the Trunk line association and the
success of the western presidents and managers
of roads in adjusting differences and re-organ-
izing their association upon a general desire
everywhere, to correct irregularities and agree
upon sound business methods for the conduct
of the railway traffic throughout the country.

TRAINING OF GIRLS.
Shameful Lack of Physical Developmer
Noticeable Everywhere.

| Shameful Lack of Physical Development
| Noticeable Everywhere.
There is n shameful lack of physical
training of women, and it is becoming
more and more apparent You have
only to notice the girls going to and
from our high schools, seminaries and
boarding schools to see that they are
not as rugged and well developed aa
were their mothers at the same age.
The deterioration in physical quality
is not so great among the daughters OF
those engaged in manual labor nor in
the girls who do more or less work
The physical culture of women is
sadly neglected, and this nation is 60
ing to suffer from it before long, be-
cause men inherit much from their
mothers. Even now the cities are
drawing largely on the country dis
tricts for healthy, hearty. well-devel-
oped wives; but unfortunately the
country is not taking many OF our thin,
poorly-nourished girls in their stead.
They are not worth their keeping in
the country.
This is not saying that they are not
intelligent, educated and well man
nered, only that they are not fit for the
wives of farmers and mechanics. They
can only shine in parlors, and the cx-
tent OF their labor is to put on their
own clothes. do u little fancy needle
work, decorate china, play the piano
and be ornamental.
1t is nn actual sin to allow girls to
grow up in this way, and parents will
find it out sooner or later Maybe not
until the judgment day. but they will
find it out Any other form OF ill.
health is no worse than this. so that
you may as well allow your daughter
to contract the opium habit or any
thing else that will unfit her for the
position OF wife and mother. There
would be no more harm in it,
The rational conclusion, and IL just
one, is, therefore. that the mother who
raises daughter in idleness. and with
out proper physical culture, is com
mitting u grevious sin. Not only il
she bringing suffering and misery upon
her daughter. but she is cons gning 10
posterity IL burden that Is hard to bear.

CELLULoID PRODUCTS.
They Are Made of Gun Cotton, Hence
Should BE Used with Care.

They Are Made of Gun Cotton, Hence
| Should BE Used with Care.
Umbrella and cane handles, collars,
cuffs, and scores of other articles of
convenience, utility and even elegance
manufactured from celluloid, are in
daily use by large numbers of people.
The question is asked: MAY they be
safely usedp" Celluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex.
plosive compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with
mixture of two parts of nitric acid
and five parts of sulphuric acid. The
cellulose of the paper, derived from the
cellular tissue of the cotton in common
use, is changed by the combination and
becomes gun cotton To make cellu-
loid, the excess of acid is washed out
by free use OF water, and by presss~,
carefully applied. After the removal
of all uncombined acid, it IL reduced to
homogeneous pulpy mass strained
until it becomes nearly dry, and is
then mixed with about ono-third of it's
weight of gum camphor. These ma
terials are mixed as uniformly as pos
sible by careful manipulation with
wooden instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned
out by grinding is spread out and re-
duced to slabs of various thickness and
rolled between steam-heated rollers,
and then becomes moderately elastic
In strips of medium thickness. In this
form it is worked up into the various
articles which are offered for sale and
use. Although gun cotton is easily
manufactured, its manufacture for ex-
pertinent or for general use is not rec
commended; and. although celluloid an
ticles may be safely used with ordi-
nary care. II bonfire OF such articles for
amusement is not recommended. No
injuries from such use have been re-
ported. A word to the wise. however,
suffices. Analyst.

The Renaissance of the Fan.

After a long interval, a long period
of neglect, the year 1929 saw n revival
in the taste for fans. 1t CHANGED that
grand ball was preparing at the Tuil-
cries, at which several costume quad
rilles' were to be danced. Madame la
Duchesse de Berri had undertaken tc
get up Louis XIV. quadrille, and
was seeking everywhere-had sought
everywhere in yain-for fans of that
period. Suddenly some one remem-
bered having seen some old fans in tho
shop window OF perfumer named
Vanier, who lived in the Rue Caumar-
tin. Vanier had collected old fans for
some time as AN amateur. His fans
were taken TO the pal,ice In the quad
rifle they created u furor, and were
all purchased. The Dnchesse de Berri's
ball began the renaissance Of the fan.

ThE TEAR.KERChIEE.
OHIO.

It Is only trifing thing to show
Just kerchief, white as the driven snow,
Yet many tender and loving thought
Is into its dainty sttchery wrought;
For the mother wove 1t from flax that grew
And smiled In the field with its blossom blue;
She spun the thread whereof 1t was made,
And watched 1t carefully where twas laid,
That days war kisses and nights soft dew
Might bleach the web to its whitest hue;
And then 1t was lovingly laid away
For the daughters hand on her bridal day.
Oh few are the tears by the maiden shed
On the day that her bridal VOWS are said,
They may fall as she meets her fathers kiss,
Yet her heart is glad with her nuptial bliss.
She may fondly cling to her mothers stde
Yet her lover claims her, his happy bride.
Shs fears not TO give up her fair young life
To the sacred duties and name of wife;
And there is no grief in the tears that flow
Der the soft round check with its blushing
glow,
And she smiles as she wipes them all away
With the kerchief white on her bridal day.
Daintily folded with tenderest care,
The young wife talseth the kerchief fair,
With scented rose-leaves and lavender spray,
Scarce dried from her tears 1t is laid away.
There in its fragrant and perfumed nest
For many long years may the kerchief rest
They will bring in their train both Joy and woe
As Time goes on in his ceaseless flow.
But Love still maieth each burden light,
And the home where he dwells is ever bright
And the wife still smiles as she smid the day
She laid her kerchief with smiles away.
But Time will pass and the years go on,
And each day hndeth some duty done,
And the kerchief lies in its scented fold,
But snow has sprinliled tho hair of gold
For the fair young bride Is o matron now,
And wrinkles furrow the once smooth brow,
And her step is no longer free and light,
