However, they have some charming

GORGEOUS
NEW CARS

WASHINGTON. D. c., oct. =
Especially gorgeous will be the new
passenger cars on the Panama ..ail-
road when the new equipment that has
been decided upon gets upon the road.
They will be painted a canary yellow
with the lettering boards a light olive
green. and the name" Panama Rail-
road" and the numbers of the coaches
in gold leaf.
1t has been discovered by actual
experiment and test that yellow has
superior lasting quality over other col
ors under the local climatic conditions
which are unusually hard on exterior
paints Three coaches were taken and
painted different colOrs. One was
painted green. another yellow and the
third red After six months wear the
red showed up worst and the yellow
best AS a result, not only the pas
senger cars but the refrigerators and
other box cars will be re-painted, and
a train of these crossing the isthmus
will present the first yellow streak
that has been seen down there since
the muck rakers quit raking.

7o-YEAR-OLD CIGARETTE USER

Colfax and Portland. who was ar
rested several weeks ago by Chief of
cigarettes, was tried yesterday be-
fore Judge DoOlittle in the municipal
court, and despite a spirited defense.
conducted by the aged pioneer him
self, he was declared guilty and fined
SO and costs.
Mr.. Hillingsworth. who is over 20
years of age. stated that he had
smoked cigarettes ever since he was 10
years old. beginning 'lOng before the
feeble minded freaks, calling them
selves statesman. who drafted the
idiOtic anti cigarette law, those near
statesmen who waste their time and
the publcs money numbering the stat
ute books with lot of trivial senseless
legislation. were conceived Upon
sentence being passed, Mr.. Hollings-
worth at once gave notice of appeal,
and it is quite probable that if the de-
cision of the justice court is affirmed
by the superior court that the case
will be carried before the supreme
court, as the defendant has both the
means and the courage to fight the
case to a finish.

REVISE
CHART

WASHINGTON, Oct steps are
being taken at the photographic office
of the navy department to revise and
bring down to date the chart of the
polar regions-probably the only one
of its kind issued by a government Of
flee. The revised chart will indicate
the routes of both Cook and Peary as
soon as the observations are received.
The observations of the explorers
will enable the officers of the hydro
graphic bureau to plot the courses, as
they have all the scientific equipment
necessary to determine their accuracy
The map, which has been in existence
for many years, indicates the routes
of all polar explorations as far back
as the latter part of the 18th century
and the lands discovered. No revi-
sion has been made, however, since
Nansen's expedition, and the present
time is considered appropriate for
bringing it down to date 1t is one
of the most elaborate examples of
chartng undertaken by the hydro
graphic office.
