shippers Room Has System of It's Own.
Going into the shipping room of any of the large
stores the point of Mr.. Quinlan's remarks becomes
quickly apparent. The order clerks are continually
carrying or wheeling In small and large packages of
goods. and when they deliver them to the shipping
clerk he signs a book, to prove he got the goods
Ranged along the walls capacious bins or boxes
numbered consecutively. Every driver of a wagon
has his bin and fast the goods are received
Mr. Shipping Clerk and his assistants distribute them
into the bins. AS each drivers route is carefully
marked out for him, the address on any package in
dicates who is to deliver it. Like the mail clerk the
shipping clerk must know his boxes without stopping
TOO long to figure out which one takes any package
At each bin hangs tab of paper and pencil
AS each piece is placed therein it is entered on the
tab whether 1t be pound of sugar or a roll of Garnet
Under the top sheet is carbon ana when the driver
signs for what he took from the bin he leaves with
the shipping clerk duplicate list of the stuff he
took out. Hence, he must deliver every package or
bundle; or, IL complaint comes In of non-deliyerv
and the driver cannot account for the goods he took
out he is under the necessity of paying for the same
Hence also every driver TO it pretty carefully
that he gets everything HIS list calls for.

Late Deliveries Not Popular.

About every driver talked to had one pet kick
They felt that when patrons of the stores did not
know Just what they were talking about they ought
to keep still For instance, while the routes are laid
out with the idea that the men can cover them be-
tween $3.50 in the morning and O'Clock night yet
accidents happen, and circumstances sometimes arise
which make it impossible for all the deliveries to be
made within that time. The drivers, of course want
TO finish their work as soon possible but they are
under strict instructions to finish their deliveries be-
fore turning in"
Some people act as If they thought we like to be
out late, and do it purpose said driver who has
been with one house for years IF they had the right
bunch they would sympathize a little maybe with
the delayed driver. He against snags on his way
Just the same as anybody else. and there might be
dozen reasons why he don't get on the exact
time he should Bad roads, breakdowns, some little
accident to horse wagon all these things are liable
to happen, and then we are delayed in spite of all
we can do. People should keep in mind that the
deliveryman is human and subject to all the chances
that others are. We aim to do our work as rapidly
and as we'll as can and customers ought to keen

and while creeps into their days work Lots Of
places are hard to get at said one, land people
don't seem to have any notion of how delivery man
has to hustle. Most folks treat right, though and
get to- be real friendly and often wonder what the
kickers think they gain by telling their troubles to
the driver, when they ought to hand them over to
headquarters"

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment 10 the Pure Food and Drugs laW in its relation to Prepared Medicines does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both Of which are true medicines carefully compounded of ingredients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical profes- sion itself as the best known remedial agents for the diseases they are in- tended to counteraet. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been standard remedy for coughs. colds and affections Of the throat, chest and lungs for children and Tor grown persons. and it retains today its pFe-eminence above all other preparations of its kindi Foley Kidney Pills are equally effective and meri- tori0us j.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION
Our Public Schools Must Teach Those Lessons That Fit Our Youth For
 Useful Citizenship.

The following quotation from a re- cent address of State Superintendent Geo B. Cook is very significant:
 There several activities in Arkan- sas that are rapidly bringing our citi- zens to appreciate the broader concep- tion of the purposes of our public schools.
 The Boys Corn Clubs are accom- plishing great 0 k in giving thous- ands of Arkansas boys practical train- ing. and personal knowledge of the re- wards of honest toll In another year these boys and many more, will not only be raising better and bigger crops Of corn than was thought pos sibe a few years ago for even their elders to do. but they will be turning this corn into pork.
 The Girls Tomato and Poultry Clubs will soon be abreast with the Boys Corn Clubs
 Through School Improvement Organizations, over ten thousand citi- zens are actively engaged in bettering their local schools,
 Elementary agriculture and horti- culture, and physiology and Hygiene are required branches in our:common school course of study

The interscholastic and intercollegiate

WORK ON THE SLAB
Holds Cornell Down to a Tie
Game in Ten-Inning
Battle.

Fienles great work in the box is
being attributed by Georgetown stu
dents as the greatest factor in keeping
the Blue and Gray team from defeat
in yesterdays game with Cornell at
Georgetown Field, which resulted in a
ten-inning tie to 4.
The Red and White batsmen were get
ting entirely too familiar with O'Con-
nor's curves, and the pitchers own
wildness had gotten him into serious
trouble when Fienle was called to the
rescue in the fourth. Thereafter the
run-getting stopped. Cravajal was on
the firing line for the Ithacans, and he
was as wild as a March hare. George

the strength of four gifts handed out in
the eighth inning.
Murphy again met one of CarvajaPs
slow curves for drive over the bank
and circled the bases. Fury carried off
the batting honors for the Blue and
Gray team, with three clean drives.
while Howard, the American Security
and Trust star, with the Cornell team,
made three hits and brought In two of
the runs made by his team.
Wild heaves by O'Connor and Fury
played a prominent part in the scoring
of the Red and White team in the
fourth inning. Georgetown plays Ford

Washingtonian Makes Best
Impression at Football
Meeting.
PLANS FOR NEXT
FALL DISCUSSED
Spring Practice Work Outlined,
With Forward Pass in
Favor.

NEW HAVEN, April u.-Yale under
graduates are today satisfied that TO
mistake was made in the selection of
John Field, of Washington, as head
coach of the football team of next fall.
In the trophy room of the gymnasium,
last night, fifty men, upon whom Yale
will depend for her eleven, listened to
speeches by those who will direct the
team, and, next to Walter Camp, Coach
Field made the greatest impression on
the gathering.
Tribute to the Team.
Mr.. Camp paid a tribute to the team
last fall, which came UP after the
Brown defeat by beating Princeton and
tieing Harvard, and to Captain Bige-
lows team three years ago, but he said
that in them there was a note of warn
ing, as well as that these Garrison
finishes were becoming entirely too fire.
quent at Yale, and that some time if
Yale wasn't careful Harvard or Prince
ton would get a lead and Yale would
slip up on the Garrison finish.
He spoke of the detail of the work to
be done in the spring practice and of the
development of the line and the sec
ondary defense. Finally he said that in
the new game the idea of weight max
ing strength had passed and that speed
and persistency were the qualities need
ed for the men.
Outlined Practice Work.
Field outlined the work for the spring
practice. He said it would be entirely
preliminary, consisting of punting
catching punts, falling on the ball, and
work with the forward pass.
From MS talk and from that of Mr..
Camp and Captain Howe, it was appar-
ent that Yale would use the forward
pass in the coming fall more than in
any previous year, and that every ef-
fort will be made to perfect this play.
Coach Field urged the men to develop
speed and practice for this, TO go out
for track work. Trainer Mack said he
would train the men Sn the sprints and
thus they would become better able 10
run in the fall.
The final speaker of the evening was
Captain Howe, who said that the Yale
team had been weakened on various
occasions because the men were be-
hind in their studies. His plea was for
the men to study through the spring. so
that they would be eligible for the team
in the fall.

Sixth Team Lacking
In Railroad League

Owing to inability to select team to
compete the six-team circuit Of the
Railroad Y. u. c. A. League, at a meet
ing held at the Union station, last night,
that organization will meet on next
Monday night to reconsider the matter.
There had been two vacancies In the
league, but the team representing the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad was taken
in at the meeting last night. This club
looms up as strong contenders in the
Railroad League, and the officials are
pleased with the choice.
1t was decided to open the season on
April g, but the complete schedule was
not adopted, and this probably will be
taken up at the next meeting OF the
league, when it is expected that the
circuit will be completed.
