MILLIONS OF FLAGS
MADE EACH YEAR

When one stops to think that every
year flags enough are made in the
United States to supply all the men,
women and children resident therein
with at least one each it will be
seen that there is ample reason why
the manufacturers should make every
effort to expedite the. process of flag
production. Although each year. not
less than 1000, 900 American flags are
made, that number forms only a
part of the host of star spangled ban
ners OF various sizes that are born,
live and died between January and
January. Many millions of printed
flags come into existence annual ly.
If the material used is cotton or silk,
the flags are printed from copper
rollers, in the same way that the
designs for what is called print goods
are placed upon COTTON cloth. muslin
flags and those of paper are printed
upon an ordinary cylinder press, from
iron blocks and heavy elcetrotypes.
No one knows the number of flags
that are made annually. An idea
may be gained from the fact that one
large establishment which makes a
day. Such flags are printed in sheets,
ranging in size from 36x52 to 40x72
inches, each sheet of the smaller
flags containing as rule exactly
two gross.

THIS is NOT THE WAY
1T is DONE IN COLORADO

The New York legislature has been
called in special session because it
failed at the regular session to pass a
legislative apportionment bill. The
trouble seems to be over the senator
ial district in which Congressman
Wadsworth lives. Mr.. Wadsworth
was beaten at the last election because
of falling out with the president,
and it seems now that his enemies
are trying to rub it in on him by
changing his home district in some
way that he doesn't like. His son is
speaker of the New York house, and
thus far the house has stood by him
in his efforts to protect his fathers
interests. At any rate the last hours
of the regular session the members
stood up in the front of the speakers
desk and sang:
We won't go home till August,
We won't go home till fall;
Unless Speaker Jim
Gets what's comm to him

Fast Lines To Be Consolidated i'm
One Great Organization,
II Is Said.
vANDERBILTs DOING THE JOB
The Plans, It Is Learned, Are Now
Practically Matured.
Work Can Be Done Better That Way,
and Besides There Is Money
To Be Saved.

Milwaukee. Jan. 19.-The Evening
Wisconsin says: The most important
and by far the most sweeping con-
solidation Of freight lines of the great
railway systems and combinations OF
the country that has been brought
about iii years is booked to be made
within short time by the Vanderbilt
system. The plans, it is learned, are
now practically matured. The plan Is
the absolute consolidation of all of The,
s'fast freight lines and 'dispatch
lines" which have for years been op-
Grated under the genera! Vanderbilt
system. and will place all the lines ul'-
der one corporati0n---the Merchants
Dispatch company.
Lines Included in the Move.
The principal dispatch and freight
lines which are to be absorbed or con
Solidated under the one head of the
Merchants Dispatch company, are the
following: Operating over the LAX"
Shore and Michigan Southern road -
the Red line, West Shore line, Jersey
Central = Lake Shore Dispatch, and
White line. Operating over the Big
-Four system-White lines. Operating
on the Michigan Central road = Blue

The Grand Trunk System-Milwaukee-
Michigan line There are also several
other fast freight lines in the system.
mostly operating i'll the east.
Roads in the Vanderbilt System.
These various freight lines have
been operated chiefly over the Wander
bilt system, which covers a number
of roads with a total Of 1922 miles.
principally in the east. The largest
roads of the Vanderbilt system, nine
teen in ALL are the New York Central
and Hudson river road C3,12O miles,.
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
G,5OO miles,, Michigan Central Q,74o
miles,, and Big Four (2,329 niles.
With the exception Of the Gould sys-
tom, which has total mileage of TO-,
eco miles, the Vanderbilt system Of
roads is the greatest in the country.
THE early consolidation of the fast
freight lines of the Vanderbilt system
is said to be the OutgroWth of long
and careful consideration and figuring
upon the part of high traffic officials,
with the result that it has been de
cided that better and more effective
results can be obtained by operating
but one large fast freight or dispatch
system instead Of a dozen lines, each
with a separate set of officers and
agents.

JOKE BELIEVED
SUICIDE CAUSE
Prankish Letter Said to Have Led
Young Girl to End
Own Life.

Milwaukee, Jan. 19.-It is believed
that a letter which caused 14-year-old
Urma Jentzen to kill herself was simp-
Iy a stupid joke perpetrated by some
of her girl companions, though it is
suspected that a young man was at
the back Of the plot. The police and
postal authorities have been conduct
ing a searching investigation and be-
lieve they will be able to uncover
those who were back of the letter.
Postal Inspector Bird said that the
girl was innocent Of any wrongdoing
and was frightened to death by the
threats of her parents to send her to
the reform school. 1t is believed that
q girl wrote the letter at the instiga
ton Of Il young man. Both will be To-
Gated, according to the police.

Reserve Buds.

Every one has noticed how, when a
large branch of tree is cut off, small
stump. These branches are from the
reserve buds, of which all trees have a
great number at every portion of their
surface. Under ordinary circumstances
these never come to maturity, but when
the tree is wounded or cut off or loses
some of its branches the reserve buds
at once come into play and renew the
foliage.

Mocha M of the Human BODY,

The human body is an epitome in la
ture of all mechanics, all hydraulics,
all architecture, all machinery of every
kind. There are more than $40 mechan-
ical movements known to mechanics
today, and all of these are but mcdifi-
cations of those found in the human
body. Here are found all the liars,
levers, joints, pulleys, pumps, pipes,
wheels and axles, ball and socket
movements, beams, Orders, trusses,
buffers, arches, columns, cables and
supports known to science. At every
point mans best mechanical work can
be shown to be but adaptations of
processes of the human body, a revela-
tion of first principles used in nature.
