Rock island scckine Non.

New York. Feb. 11.-Since the seq

Frisco properties al sorts of rumors
have been circulated concerning pos
sible new acquisitions to the executive
staff Of the Rock Island, which is
known to be severely crippled in this
department by the separation of the
officers Of the two companies.
L. G.. Warfield. now freight traffic

possible new vice president of the
Rock Island. Mr.. Warfield is a close
personal friend OF j. u. German for
MGR freight traffic manager OF the
Atchison. but now first Vice-president
of the Rock Island.
Mr.. Gormai was close j.. p. RIP
lev Of the Atchison and is reputed to
be one of the best traffic men in the
country. For this reason Mr. Ripley
was loath to let him go, but the Rock
Island had to have him.
1t is said on good authority THAI
MI. Germans salary with the Atchison
was $4,000 a year. The Rock Island
offered him 100000. which the Atchi-

Tucumcari Expects 10 Land New
GhnItG

j. NJ. Daffron of Mclean, Texas,
was in Tucumcari this week looking
after his interests and brought the
news that the Rock Island railroad
company has just purchased one hum
bred acres of land at Mclean, Texas,
for shop and roundhousc purposes.
He says the citizens OF the Mclean
country arc very much enthused over
the action of the railroad company
9nd believe it will be only u short
time until they will move The shops
and roundhouse from Sayre. okla. to
Mclean.
Mclean. Texas, is seventy-ono miles
east of Amarillo on the plains and is
just to "A mile~-half way between
Tucumcari and III Reno, Okla. the
greatest division point Of the Rock
Island lines in the southwest. h
distance between Mclean Il Amar-
lilo being too short for n division. the
prospects of Tucumcari getting the
shops and roundhouse look good, as II
will be the western terminal of the
Rock Islad lines in New Mexico.
Rumors are also current that upon
the completion Of the Tucumcari x
Memphis road tho Rock Island Will

A COMIC OPERA OF
DELIGHTFUL QUALITY
Is GINGERBREAD MAN

A comic opera of delightful quail
ity ana unusual merit, both in book,
lyrics and score is The Gingerbread
Man which will be given ut the Elks'
theater Monday night with the orig
inal No. / company, fresh from a tour
Of the larger cities where it has en-
pOyed unusual success in this i third
year of its presentation. The reason
for his is obvious. The piece is of
certain merit-tirst of all, for its par
ticularly beautiful music, which, by
the way, was composed by \. Baldwin
Sloane. who has given su such tune
full compositions as The Mocking
Bird" ''Jack and the Bean stalk.
Sergeant Kitty "BroadwaY to To-
kio,' and Coming Through the Rye.
Mr.. Sloano's music is not only Tune
full. but il is written in a musicianer's
style. and although il has n trick or
catching the car, 1t has class which
enables its composer to rank with n
best that America produces. one
charm about Mr.. Sloane's works IS
that he never writes alike Il MS
themes are SO varied that the fault
Of sameness SO noticeable in many
composers. some even who nave
achieved greatness. is not noticeable.
He has no particular style and must
clans that are familiar with his work
often surprised ut h h%roadness OF
his field in the musical literature. He
has gotten to that point where he
dominates with almost every author
hat he c~orroborates with, and fire.
queDtly lyrics are written to his meas
urc, where the usual mode is that the
lyrics are written FIRST and the music
aiterward. This is "A rule insures %
more successful score and in THE
Gingerbread Man" we find almost a.
perfect one. This may probably he
accounted fer from the fact that Fred
rrick @. Ranken and A.. Baldwin
sloane We're in perfect accord.

This is the time Of the Yea when
the office of the commissioner of the
department of street cleaning is fair
iy dclugcd with all sorts Of weird and
wonderful suggestions for the remov-
al Of snow from the city streets, or
even to prevent its evc falling on
them. Investigation has shown that
most of these suggestions come from
persons who arc too lazy to shovel off
their WI doorsteps and who, when
they are 0 busy in making sugges-
tons to the man who has to keep the
city clean, are dwiligcnt in making all
sorts Of criticisms of the conduct OF
his office. Any Of them could han
die the job to the perfect satisfaction
OF the public, according 30 their own
estimate, provided they had the op-
portunlty to 90 50. Nevertheless
many Of tho suggestions are amusing
One man recently proposed h q the
snow be saturated with kerosene and
burned up. while another with a
somewhat similar idea in mind
wanted the city to utilize a machine
on which he held the patent TO force
O sheet of flame on the snow thus
melting It at once. Perhaps the mos.
ambitious scheme 50 far suggested
was that of the man who wanted the
city to build a vast elevated reservoir.
INTO which all the snow gathered from
the streets should be dumped. ON
the arrival OF spring the melting now
would turn into a lake from which by
dlscharging the water through a pipe
sufficient power could be generated
to run the city's electric cars. Pre-
ventive ideas include the roofing of
the city with glass and the spraying
into the air during each storm chem
icals which would melt the snow be-
fore it reached the ground. But in
spite of all these Inspirations of gen.
ius no more satisfactory method of
snow disposal than that now in use
that Is, shoveling II into the wagons
and dumping 1t into the rivers-has
vet been discovered.

While a large part or the country
Is aGitated over the Increased cost OF
living. there is one class of citizens
who are not troubled by the question
They are the immigrants arriving at
Ellis Island, who, during their stay
there are fed at the expense OF the
government. The bids for the con-
tract for feeding these incoming for
eigners during the coming year nave
inst been opened and Indicate that
their daily menu is probably the most
inexpensive in the country. Thirteen
bidders put in estimates for the con-
tract and the prices run from twenty
cents TO ~thirty-Iive cents a day for
each person, or an average OF from
about seven to about twelve cents a
meal. The lowest bidder figured that
he could supply breakfast for five
cents. dinner for nine cenas, and sup
per for six cents. The next lowest bid
contained the same estimates Tor
breakfast, but figured two cents moro
for dinner and one cent more for sup
per. 1t is improbable however, that
at present prices meat would be a
leading dish on the menu even on this
extravagant estimate. The contract

one of the most curious discoveries
ever made by officers of charitable
institution and employment agencies
here has just been brought to light by
the compilation of figures which shov
that among the INDECENT, height, far
from being an asset, is a positive ham
dicap which adds to the difficulty OF
obtaining work. Particularly this is
true OF men over fifty years of age.
although it applies in a lesser degree
to young men. Even a youthful SIN
footer, 1t Is pointed out, is more con-
spicuous for his shabbiness THAI a
smaller maj and therefore less blSily
to receive employment. But after the
half century mark is passed the ham
dicap of height is greatly increased.
The reason for this queer state of df-
fairs as explained by the head of a
large employment agency is found in
the fact that as soon as a man loses
his erect carriage every inch of his
height hurts him in the estimation of
his employers. The short old mar
never stoops SO much as the tall old
man, never slouches so much, and Is
never so much in his W way. For
this reason his advantage over the tall
old man in getting a job is marked.
SO after all the short man need not!
envy his taller brother. unless for rea-
sons of personal vanity, for his would
seem to be the best chance.
