70 EXPEDITE WORK.
Roger Wall Has Scheme BY Which He
Can Save Railroads Money.

Mr. r. W. Wall, the assistant train
master of the Baltimore & Ohio, IN
this city, has worked out an idea that
has been bothering him for some time.
1t has always annoyed "Rog" to see
two or three men spending half hour
or more trying to replace brass Ia
one of the big cars. He thinks they
lose too much valuable time and he
determined to save that time for the
company. "Rog' generally is looking
out for the company's interest, and he
tries to save the men as much labor
as possible.
While sitting in the telegraph Of
flee one night waiting for something
to turn up he worked out, what he
thought good scheme that would
help out along this line. He took Cen
eral Foreman Brantner into his conf
dence, and gave him the details of the
device and asked him to work them
has ideas, and when Mr.. Brantner
learned of the device he said it would
do the work ''Rog" intended 1t to do
Mr.. Brantner put the foreman of the
blacksmith shop, John Kastle, to
work, and Saturday the device was
completed Trainmaster French was
in town and they went over to the
blacksmith shop to try it, It worked
all right and sRog' was very much
pleased with the demonstration The
device consists of two chains. on one
end of which are big hooks which fit
around the top of the wheel. At the
other end is big link A bar fits
into these links and hangs under the
box. Over this bar a heavier and
longer bar hooks. On this heavy bar
rests the box. A jack is placed under
the outer end of the heavy bar This
lifts the box off the axle, and at the
same time the chain hooks are holding
down the wheel and in a couple of
minutes the brass is loose and can
be easily removed
Mr.. Wall calculated that where
there Is string of cars needing new
basses. that after the brasses have
been distributed two men can place
them at the rate of one every seven
minutes 1t now takes two men from
40 minutes to an hour and sometimes
longer to place a single brass The
continuance, which he expects to have
patented, will reduce the time and la
Dor to the minimum Mr. French was
very much pleased at the way the
thing worked and they will be put to
the actual working test.

Careless Letter Writers.

With all our boosted progress we
are becoming a very careless people.
We do things more rapidly than ever
before and some things are by no
means so well done We are, to name
an instance forgetting the art of pen
manship. says the Philadelphia In
quirer.
In these days penmanship is not
taught as formerly, is not so nuca
insisted upon in schools or in BUSH
ness, largely because the typewriter
has become so UNIVERSAL. About all
a man need be able to do now is to
write his signature ligibly But it
seems that the number OF those who
cannot or will not write legibly is
very large.
In one day last week the dead let
ter office at Washington sent back
over 10000 letters which were inn
properly addressed and destroyed an
immense number of those which could
not be ciphered. It is common for
persons to put on the wrong state OF
city or to omit the state entirely.
And it should be remembered that no
letters go to the dead letter Office
when there is a chance of getting
them to their destination.
Every one connected with the post
Office department will tell you that
the handwriting Of the people is get
ting worse and that carelessness is
increasing
Nor should we lay the fatterlng
JUNCTION to our souls that it is the for
eigners who make all the trouble.
On the contrary, they are more pains
taking than Americans, even If they
have a hard time spelling our names.
The truth is. the American is becom-
ing very careless in little things,
which is a bad sign. It is paying a
poor compliment to a correspondent
to address a letter imperfectly or IL
legibly or in any way but that which
is pleasing to the recipient and easy
or the forwarding officials.
There is plenty of time to do neces-
sary things we'll. Most things that
cannot be done we'll are not worth
doing.

Manager Of Pennsylvania.

deficit in this item. The amount repre-
sents an estimatead increase in oper-
ating expenses over last year. Eleven

employes in the shape of wages. the
remaining is what John 3. Thayer,
fourth vice president, figures what win

present service, after the 2-cent fare
law becomes effective on October l,
next. The s11 100000 in increased
wages represents sS.000,0o0 more than

SACRAMENT
Father Van lngeIgem Talks on
Lords Supper.
MANY QUESTIONS ARE ASKED
Father Waters Has Heavy Task in
Answering Queries and His Re-
plies Were Very interesting.

Last night the question box at ST..
JosepRs Catholic church was heavy
task for Father Waters and of great
interest to his listeners, for the an
swers were clear and TO the point
Father Van Inglegem gave the lee
ture on the Sacrament of the Lord s
Supper He said In part:
Father Van Inglegen's Talk.
Us Christ really, personally present
in the Catholic communion service?
Yes. He is. But some may ask, what
do you mean by the real presence?
Do you mean that the flesh and blood
of Christ In the communion Is like
other flesh and blood? In substance,
yes; in mode or form, no; for as He
Is now In Heaven, so isle on our al
tars, glorified and invisible. His real
presence is not the presence of His
flesh and blood in a gros manner. 1t
ence; the real body and blood of
Christ, together with His soul and His
Divinity, physically, truly substantial.
y present, but perfectly spirituslized,
under the appearances of bread and
wine.
"The substance of the bread ana
wine Is changed, the appearances re-
main. There is substitute for the
bread and wine; their substance is
gone. That is rightly termed trans
substantiated 1t means that when
Christ at the Last Supper pronounced
the words: This is my body, this is
my blood" the Son of God by His ON
nipotent power transubstantiated or
changed the substance of the bread
and wine into His living flesh; so that
no bread or wine whatsoever remain
ed, but Himself body, blood, soul and
divinity-under the appearances.
Let us look at the evidence of
Scripture for the real presence. First,
consider the sixth chapter of st.
John, 1870 These words must be
taken in their literal sense; or else,
Christ, out of pity, should have set
right those who. on account of taking
them literally, forsook Him. But He
allowed them to depart from Him, who
had came to save their souls. Then
consider the scene of the Last Sup
per as related by the three synoptic
Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.
relating the same event, and using
very nearly the same words.
Gave His Body to Eat.
"He promised to give His Body to
eat, and His Blood to drink, as we
saw in John vi; now He takes bread
and giving it to His Disciples says:
Take we and eat. this is My Body
them saying: Drink We all of this, this
is my blood When Christ said these
clear words it was not the time to
speak TO His Apostles in misleading
figures of speech. All the twelve I'M
derstood Him literally. So did Paul I.
Cor 16 and XI 1929 So did all the
early Christians; so did all Chrlsten-
dom till $50 years ago; so does the
vast majority of Christians in the
world today
ut is credible that all were delud-
ed? If they were wrong. Christ de-
ceived them But God forbid! Far
from deceiying us. He there gave us
His greatest gift: His own Body and
Blood, Soul and Divinity for the
nourishment of orr soul
