Violating the Law.
Some Of the allegations recently
made have aroused the greatest inter-
est in this Investigation. The last
session OF the Maryland Legislature
passed a law limiting 10 eight hours
the daily service Of railroad telegraph
operators. II is charged that after
this took effect the Baltimore and Ohio
reduced the wages OF operators and
also the number OF those employees.

left their positions because Of the re-

was unable to set competent men In
their stead. Stories are told OF the
excessively long hours OF work that
have frequently been demanded of
operators even IN the face Of this
law. and the inquiry by the Interstate
Commission viii doubtless develop the
facts about these.

of This Years
Event.

Nearly 10000 American citizens,
representatives of foreign poten-
tates and powers, officers OF the
army and navy, statesmen, judges,
and oficeholders shook hands with
President Roosevelt today. 1t was
the annual New Year reception, the
first of the list of important social
events of the White House "seasOn."
and the President was sat home 10
all the world. Last year the Execu-
tive shook hands with just 9,O72 per-
sons and was engaged upon the task
until 2:45 D. IN. If those who have
watched the annual rush for the
Presidents right for several years
are any good judges of numbers, the
present years procession at the
White House win break all past rec

officers. bespangled and bebadged
diplomats, blue-coated veterans. and
well groomed plain people extended
from the glass front doors of the
White House down the winding
walk to Pennsylvania avenue, west
on the Avenue up past the State,

The earth should be very fine,
so that it will stop up the breath

way smother them. busting
material that is not very fine can
not kill lice by this means, and
this explains why many dustirg

Bran is a good poultry feed,

LoNDoN's places OF REST"
They Are of Incalculable Value to the Citys
Working Men and Women.

Several years ago certain wise phanthropists IN
London recognized the need of some places OF smell
ter and rest for early morning workers from the
suburbs and outlying districts skrting the great
CITY These citv workers often were compelled to
wait an hour or two, exposed to the elements ano
the city's dangers before the workshops and busi-
ness houses in which they were employed were
opened.
To meet these needs several places which have
been described as places of rest" were opened.
Two of these are situated in the very centre OF
London. One is rhe Church Of All Haiows. Lon
don Wall It IS open daily from 80 a m TO ,
all, irrespective OF creed It is close TO the
Liverpool street station
The church Is lighted and warmed IN winter
sewing is permitted the girls and women. books
are provided for ALL and short service is held 1T
s a. IN. voluntary orsanst is present every
morning and hymns sung at intervals The
average daily attendance in this church every week
day morning is nearly three hundred mon, women
and girls.
The Church of St Katharine Coleman, in Fenchurch
street. one minutes walk from Fenchurch street
station, is open every weekday morning from go
o'clock especially for the benefit of women ana
girls who come 70 the city by wOrlInen's trains
and have to wait until their places Of work arc
open This church. too is well lighted and warmed,
and books and magazines are provided At

twenty minutes. There IS not the least doubt that
these services exercise a beneficial and lasting in
