Conductor to Retire

William II. Wherry. a Pennsylvania
railroad passenger conductor, will be
placed on the retired list of the COM

of service. during which he has gained
the remarkable personal record OF never
having been suspended or disciplined.
Mr.. Wherry was born in Cambria

seventeen years old. He rose from that

HEROES OF A NIGHT.

HEROES OF A NIGHT.
Some startling facts were brought
out in the long drawn British investi-
CATION of the Titanic disaster
For instance. as we know. some
passengers-m mostly of the first cabin
were saved; all the officers except two
were saved; few seamen-used as
oarsmen for the boats-were saved.
But
All the engineers save one, all the
stokers and coal passers went down.
And yet these men of all those
aboard best knew the peril of the ship.
And not one of them made an effort
to get away. Every one, save one en-
gineer, died at his post.
You remember the thrilling story of
how the band went down, playing up
to the last final plunge. The story
was exaggerated and has been denied
However that may be
The splendid men who made the
wheels go round did stay by the Strick-
en- vessel to the last They shoveled
the coal to keep the pumps and the
lights going; they tended the machines
and drowned at their posts.
Nothing spectacular about that.
Yet these heroes of the night, en-
gineers in overalls, with grimy hands.
stokers and coal passers with black
faces and half naked bodies, these
modest workers, faced certain death
for four mortal hours without finch
ing.
Not mothers son of them was a
coward.
Nobody wrote poems about them,
their pictures were not in the papers,
and nobody cared to inquire particu-
IarIy how they died.
Plenty of description about the gal
lant'' captain on the bridge in his
spotless uniform and gold lace, fresh
ly summoned from a champagne din
ner with Owner Ismay and other nota-
bles-
Plenty of praise for the brave Astor
and the noble Stead and Captain Butt,
worthy Of record
Plenty Of tears shed over the pa
thetic figure of Isidor Straus and his
faithful wife, notable in it's heroism
and unforgetabIe in it's beauty of de.

But

the depths, the naked, sweaty toiler
bent to his coal shovel, who must stay
and drown like rats in a hoIe-wh0
sings their praise?
What snobs we mortals be!

Perhaps you have been using only

It is the undertow.
You say you can think Of two things
at the same time. But can you do
justice to either?'> If YOU divide your
thoughts you weaken them.
Thinking is cOncentra ton.
Fancy how much force you could ex-

in the 1916. The mixture selected
will depend upon the nature Of the
work in which it is used.
Table No. I. shows the materials
necessary for one cubic yard OF con-
crete.
In order to determine the amount
Of cement necessary for any amount
OF concrete, estimate the number Of
cubic yards and multiply that number
by the figure in the table opposite,

Batch mixing. as indicated by the
name, is an intermittent process and
Is the one. most used in silo construc-
ton. Under certain conditions the
continuous mixing process may be en-
ployed. Continuous mixing is done by
machinery, the materials being fed
into the machine without interruption
during the mixing process, which may
continue for four or five hours. Batch

1t seems more desirable. Simple me-
chanical mixers have been very sue

Water should be added until slop-

init the material to be readily poured.
The concrete should be prepared upon

about 1Ox12 feet. In placing the ma

The watchword of the present
seems to be conservation. This appar-
emily may be applied to all lines of
work Not only is this true in the
commercial world, but it will hold
true in rural pursuits. The farmer is
exerting every effort in obtaining
more efficiency from his activities and
to do this he is gathering about him
every kind of modern machine or con-
venience that is obtainable.
Concrete on the farm is becoming
an important factor and with the ad-
vent of this new medium of construC-
ton, feeding floors, troughs, racks,
fence posts, silos, farm buildings and
many useful necessities are being add
ed to the farm equipment. Many OF
these useful things may be construct
ed by the farmer himself or his regu-
lar help All that is necessary is a
working knowledge of concrete and
its reinforcements. In the cOnstruc-
ton of large buildings knowledge OF
the reinforcement of beams and grid
ers is required and such construction
should be submitted to an architect
or bridge engineer who is acquaint-
ed with these problems.

20 Families Are
Routed by Bomb

NEW YORK. July 1l.-Twenty
families were thrown into a panic
early today when a bomb exploded in
the hallway of the first floor of the
six-story tenement 216 Chrystie
street. The occupants. partly dressed.
attempted to gain the street by front
and rear doors. Finding these locked
they rushed to the roof and went
down the hre-escapes. Several were
injured.
The police believe the bomb was
placed by some having a key to
the street door. or by a person living
in the house who left after igniting
the bomb.
The explosion burst the water pipe
leading through the hallway and the
flow of water added to the confusion
when the occupants rushed from their
rooms. A hole ten feet in circum-
ference was torn in the wall and the
hallway was wrecked.
The ground floor is occupied by Cor
RADIO Gianuso as a saloon. He bought
the business from Salvatore Miceli in
January, 1910. after the saloon had
been wrecked by a bomb. The for
mer proprietor became frightened
and returned to Italy.
