THREE MILES IN
EICHTY-rIyE SECONDS
Speed Record Shattered by the "Penn-
syIvania Flyer

One hundred and twenty-seven
and three tenths miles an hour, the
highest speed ever attained by a
railroad train was attained when the
Pennsylvania Flyer westbound
passed through Ohio.
1t reached Chicago at 1853 o'clock
Tuesday morning, cutting two MN
utes off the eighteen hours in which
it was aimed to make the run from
New York.
The record attained during the l2l
mile run from Crestline, O.. to Ft.
Wayne, which was made In ll5min-
utes. The fastest time was near
Ada, o., where three miles were
covered in eighty-five seconds, or at
the rate of mile in twenty-eight
and one-third seconds. breaking all
the worlds railroad speed records.
The two minutes were clipped
from the running time in the face OF
a fifteen minute delay near Mans
field, o. After leaving Pittsburg the
tender of the big Atlantic type en-
CINE which had been attached at
that city for the run to Crestline. o.,
developed hot box about twenty
miles east OF Mansfield, %.
The engine driver stopped his
train and fifteen minutes were lost
in futile effort to cool the trouble
some axle. Finally freight engine
was attached and the train limped
into Crestline. There the regular
engine was In waiting and when the
Flyer" left the latter place. 1t was
20 minutes late.
The train left New York at 5 min
utes. to 4 Monday afternoon. The
total distance of the run is 905 miles
and the average speed was one min-
ute and eleven seconds and frac-
ton each mile.

JUDGE RoDGEBs has charged
the federal grand jury at Fort
Smith, Ark, to ipdict every man
who aided in preventing the I'M
loading of carload OF machin-
cry at Spadra, because the car
mad been loaded at Chicago by
non UNION men. Union miners
at Spadra refused to unload the
machinery, consigned to the
Consolidated Coal Co., and the
union element prevented the un-
loading by other men sent from
another town for that purpose.
The Judge holds that the action
of the Spadra miners was In di-
rect violation of interstate com
merce laws. He further declares
that if such conditions are al
lowed to exist this cannot be a
land of law and that organized
labor lays itself amenable to the
law when it seeks to restrain or
retard commerce between the
states. The labor leaders of
Spadra are astonished and shock
ed that judge should object to
their methods.

C4BBAGE UIORM REQUIEM
The cabbage worm is dead and
barred. Long may all such pop
ular superstitious remain en-
tombed. 1t thriyed and grew,
slew its increasing number of
victims, in popular belief, until
cabbage was raised only to sell
to the unwary and not for home
consumption by many of the
wiser growers of this popular
vegetable. Protests OF humble
newspaper editors that the cab
bage worm was myth, that
cabbage was still good and safe
to eat and a legal tender for sub
scriptions, were of no avail! The
utterances Of the expert farmer
scientists who direct the plow-
shares at the various state az
ricultural departments did reach
the masses who grew the cab
bage and feared the cabbage
worm, or, when they did, were
not believed if they deprived the
worm of any Of its venom.
But now the Department of
Agriculture at Washington has
taken up the matter, because
the cabbage growing industry of
the country was found to be
paralyzed by the spread of this
popular and mysterious fear.
The truck gardeners of the
whole country have suffered and
are yet suffering the severest
blow in their history through
this foolish, popular. apprehen-
sion. In some sections it was
said that the cabbage snake
grew to nine feet in length. And
it is likely this grotesque story
led to the belief that the cab
bage snake, swallowed in its IN
fancy, would marvelously thrive
and in turn swallow the swaF-
lower.
There is nothing to it but a
foolish fear. The harmless hair
worm was found III cabbages. IL
was not understood and was I'M
mediately clothed with satanic
powers. The Department of Ag-
riculture has experimental IN
every way with cooked and raw
cabbage worms and cabbage
worm juice, on live rabbits,
guinea pigs and other animals.
Neither death nor lndisposition
could be induced by these thor
ough experiments and the de-
partment pronounces the worm
harmless, in a little bulletin just
issued, that may be had free up
on written application to the
department at Washington.
