The arm of little child is beauti-
ful and delicately formed thing. Why
do mothers and nurses ever imagine
that it was designed as hosting rope
by which to lift and pull along the
child as one would rather unwieldy
bundle? This has been written about
before, but as there are apparently
many who are still ignorant of the dan
ger of the practice it may be taken for
granted that it has not been written
about enough. Medical men assert that
eases of dislocation of the shoulder
through this cause are not uncommon,
and the seriousness of such an injury
need scarcely be emphasized. Besides
severe pain and disablement of the
limb at the time, the joint sometimes
remains weak through life. If there is
no actual dislocation there may be suf-
fcient injury, they say, to cause a
noticeable lack of symmetry of the
shoulders in later life. There is also
possibility of slight injury to the
nerves of the arm, which, though not
necessarily painful at the time, may
lead to weakness of the wrist and
hand that will persist for years.

Navy News

Orders have been received by local
military officers 10 be in readiness to
take the physical test which is requir-
ed annually of all officers above the
rank OF captain. This test involves a
horseback ride of ninety miles, to be
divided into installments covering three
days, or a fifty-mile walk. The Off
GERS have elected to take the horse
back ride.
Colonel Schuyler, commanding of
feer of the Fifth Cavalry, who is the
ranking officer in Hawaii, has already
had a route mapped ont and the finish
of the q Army marathon may be at
Leilehua. This viii involve a little
bit of zigzagging on the opposite side
of the island in order that the ride
may finish Just at Schofeld Barracks,
where no doubt the doughty 'horsemen
viii have the proper refreshments serv-
ed to them by the younger officers. OF
course, the officers will be subjected
to medical examination before they
start and win have another at the
finish. The officers who have to take
the ride are busying themselves locat-
ing the horses which have the least
jar in their movements, and which may
be depended on to land them safely.
The officers will have two nights in
which to camp out and provision is
being made 10 carry the proper ifnpedi-
menta including tents, blankets, fodder,
food supplies and the comforts of camp
life.
Tt was felt in army circles that the
local officers would not be required to
take the tests until November or De-
cember. The new order will advance
the date and shortly after the arrival
of Col. Schuyler from the Coast, about
September y, the ride may. begin.

TO CONNECT WITH SANTA FE.
Road 225 Miles Long Projected in
Favor of San Antonio.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 21.-One
of the most important railroad projects
recently considered in Texas has been
submitted to the chamber of COM
merce of San Antonio with the view
of getting the support of the business
men for the undertaking. The rail-
road when completed as now planned
connect San Antonio with the Santa
Fe at Miles. Actual construction work
has been commenced at two points
and eighteen miles of road are ready
for operation. The road will be
known as the Concho, San Saba &
Llano Valley railroad. 1t is financed
by Texas cattlemen.
r. A. Love, first vice president and
general manager of the road, arrived
in this city last Saturday to submit
the proposition that the San Antonio
business men should aid in getting the
road into direct contact with the city.
AS the case now stands the new road
could be connected with other systems,
but this is sought to avoid. AS con-
sideration, San Antonio is asked to
take up 100000 worth of per cent
first mortgage bonds and to provide
right of way through the city and ter
minal facilities. The latter condition
would involve an expenditure of about
$4,000. No bonus is asked for. Only
the minimum stock allowed by law,
$4,000 per mile, will be issued. None
of this will be placed on the open
market.
The proposed road will run over
Miles, San Angelo, Paint Rock, Ban
dera. Kerrville and possibly Fred
ericksburg. San Antonio will be made
the headquarters of the railroad in
case the road is built to this city.

very much surprise many of his
friends A holding company for
Union Pacific has been proposed sew
eral times, and has several times been
laid on the shelf by Mr. Hartman. He
certainly had no holding company in
his mind when he went to Europe. Mr..
Hartman was then of the opinion
that he expressed some time previous
1y, as follows:
''The Union Pacific is the best hold
Ing company 1 know of"
But Mr.. Hartman does believe that
Union Pacific stockholders are enutleo
to more than they are now receiving
The Union Pacific dividend was IN
creased from per cent to 10 per cent
by reason of the commencement OF
dividends on Southern Pacific, which
dumped into the Union PACING treas
ury nearly 4 per cent more on Union
Pacific stock. Mr.. Hartman said:
This belongs to Union PACING
stockholders" and Immediately raised
the dividend from per cent to 10 per
cent.
Now, if the Southern Pacific raises
its dividend the question will arise as
to when and how Union Pacific stock
holders shall receive more than 10 per
cent That is all there is in the pres
ent Observation-Disclosures distribution
for Union Pacific stockholders. This
does not necessarily mean that the
Union Pacific dividend will be IN
creased next week.
There are good reasons to believe
that talk of a Union Pacific holding
company is still outside of Mr.. Harri-
man, and Mr. Hartman today is

ABOLISH PARTY RATE.
Plan Now Under Consideration by
Passenger OficialS.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Tota1 abolition
of all first class party fares is being
considered by the roads of the middle
west in accordance with recommends
tions adopted by the executive commit
tee of the Western Passenger associa-
ton. The roads have been requested
to make known their views On the
matter by August 90.
This move would do away with the
last traces of concessions in the way
of first class party fares for ten or
more. The rates will go into effect on
September 1. Should the action by
the roads be favorable to the recon-
mendation of the executive committee.
the fares would be abolished as soon
as possible; that is, thirty days after
going into effect.
These fares which are on the basis
of cents per mile, were readopted
by several of the roads after the ~
and 8 cent per mile rates were re-
sumed in Missouri. When the regular
local rate from Chicago to Kansas
City was raised in accordance with
this advance to $10.75 the old fare of
1920 was retained as a first class par
tv fare. as was also the old fare of
$3.50 between st. Louis and Kansas
city, when the regular fare was adj
vanced to 81.

Thomas S. Martin Fears That
He Is Losing His Mind.
Pitiful Plea to Be Sent Back to
State Institution.
WAS ONCE AN INMATE.
Has Been Constant Sufferer
From Insomnia for Weeks.
Fears That He May Injure
Someone Unless Restrained.

Sedan, Kan, Aug. 21.-"Send me
to the asylum, judge. I'm not crazy
now. but I'm afraid I will be. 1 have
been in the asylum once and want to
go back"
Thomas s. Martin, who for the
past seven years had worked in the
Kellogg greenhouse at Pleasant Hill
made this startling request of the
probate judge here. His wish was
gratifed when a board of physicians
recommended that he be declared in
sane and sent either to Topeka or
Osawatomie. Martin understands his
own case apparently better than any
one else does.
Is a Sufferer From Insomnia.
''Im a sufferer from insomnia" he
said today. For the past week I
have walked as far as twenty miles a
day trying to tire myself out. so I
been impossible for week now, and
1 know that sooner or later 1 will
break down under the strain. and
perhaps hurt some one while out of
my mind. I do not want to do that,
so I asked the court to declare me in
sane before it is too late, before I be-
come violent.
Feels He Should Be Restrained.
st want to be under guard so I
can't do any one any harm. I was in
the asylum once seven years ago, and
believe that 1 can get rest and re-
lief there If go again. My nervous
system is wrecked"
Martin is about 40 years old and
has a wife, two children and other
relatives here. He is unusually well
educated
