M'CREA RESIGNS
As PENNSY HEAD
President Of System Steps
Down January |
SAMUEL REA SUCCEEDS HIM
Has Held the Office For Six Years,
and Now Resigns Because OF III
Health.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-Unheralded
by the usual crop of rumors, the re-
signation of James McCrea, president
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
was presented to the board of dlrec-
tors. 1t was accepted, effective Jan. 1.
Immediately afterwards the board
received the resignation of Samuel
Rea, vice president, as company
director" reelected him to the direc-
torate as a shareholders director"
died on Sunday, and then elected him
president of the company to succeed
Mr.. McCrea at the first of the year.
In his letter of resignation, read to
the board and accepted by it with
great reluctance" Mr.. McCrea said
he desired rest. He pointed out that
he is sixty-five years old, that he had
been in the company's service nearly
fifty years, and that it is his wish to
rest from active labors and conserve
his health.
Mr.. Rea, the president-elect, is fifty
seven years old. He had been with
the company since 1871, rising from
chairman to president. He was the
right-hand man Of A. ]. Cassatt, whom
Mr. McCrea succeeded six years ago,
and won fame through his planning
and building of the Pennsylvania
New York tunnels and the great new
station.
During Mr.. McCreas administration
Mr.. Rea has continued as the operat-
Ing and engineering genius of the man
agement.
For more than six months past the
financial district had heard reports OF
friction in the Pennsylvania manage
ment, but this always met with Off
cial denial. Those close to the inside
accepted these denials as technical.
Not a whisper, however, had been
heard of the retirement of Mr.. Nc
Crea, and the street had come to the
conclusion that reported differences
had been harmoniZed. AS before,
those Connected with the management
of the system declared that Mr.. Nc
Crea retires because he desires rest,
within the corporation.
One close to the management of the
Pennsylvania, when asked about the
resignation, said that not only did
Mr.. McCrea reside to rest, but that
his physicians had told him he must
retire.
It is said that one of the first acts
Of Mr.. McCrea's administration was
to cancel a contract for $15,000,000
worth of equipment. He held the purse
strings very tightly and did not hest
tate in 1907 to reduce the dividend
from to 6 per cent. However, he has
always had in view the making of
sRonaaylvania stock an absolutely Sc
: Yer cent dividend issue.
> Is l His term OF Office the num-
- * shareholders has increased from
about 10000 to 10000, more than half
uf which are women.

Governor of che Danish Vest India Islands,
Knight of Damne6oog and Danne6rogsmond,
U1AKETH KNOWN: On the most submissive represen-
lYI tation of the Ministry of Finances, His Majesty the
King was most graciously pleased by Resolution OF 10Th May
1912 to sanction the following Ordinance for the Danish
West Indian Islands concerning execution IN pursuance of a
copy OF a Judgment or a reconciliation, as passed by the
Colonial Council of st. Croix by 3rd discussion on the 10Th
January 1912, and by the Colonial Council OF St. Thomas
and st. Jan by 3rd discussion on the 10th February 1912.
In all cases where, according to existing laws, it has been necessary
at the execution of judgments or awards in civil suits to lay before the
Sheriff O. COPY of the proceedings in the case in full Judicial form (Akts-
form) it shall in future be only required that there shall be laid before
the Sheriff a duly certified copy of the judgment " award itself. At the
execution of the Judgment of a superior court confirming entirely or in
part q previous Judgment or award a copy of the one o r more confirmed
future at the execution of a reconciliation it shall only be required that a
duly certified COPY of the reconciliation itself be laid before the Sheriff.
So
Should the Sheriff, however, find, when the execution OF q judg-
mept al award or a reconciliation is requested, that from the copy lil
before him it does not appear with sufficient clearness and certainty how
the Judgment, award or reconciliation is to be UNDERSTOOD or is to be
carried out. he shall be entitled to demand that the person who requests
the execution procures such further copies Of what has been recorded in
the case. O such documents produced in the case (either the originals o
duly certified copies) as may be required for the right understanding OF
the Judgment, the award or the reconciliation OF for undertaking the
execution.
This Ordinance comes into force 3 months after it has obtained
Royal sanction.
To which all concerned have to conform.

INTEREST IN SOAP BUBBLES
Those Made Of Soap Water to Which
0lycerlnO Has Been Added
Are Quite Attractive.

Have you ever stopped 70 think
what a really interesting thing soap
bubble is? Soap bubbles are not only
interesting to boys and girls, but they
have long been q source OF wonder
and interest to men Of science, IN
fact, scientists have employed soap
bubbles in trying to perform certain
experiments.
A soap bubble 10 nothing more tnan
a i1lm OF water molecules (tiny par
ticles that cannot be seen with tho
naked eye), held together BY the
sticking power Of dissolved soap. AZ
most all of us know. in making DuD-
bles the bowl Of q common clay pipe
is dipped into soapy water. The buD-
BILE maker blows air into the pipe
and the bubble at once expands
While bubbles made OF plain soap
water are interesting. those made OF

soap water to which some glycerine
has been added are even more At
tractive, because they have such pref
ty colors.
There are many ways Of making
bubbles. For instance. smoke may be
blown through the pipe into the bub'
bles or one bubble may be blown
inside Of another. Very large buD'
bles can be made by using the hands
instead Of q pipe. Cover the hands
well with suds and then hold them
SO as to form a cup, as II drinking
with the hands from q spring. Du'
leaving a small hole In the bottom
With the mouth about a foot from the
hands. blow a current Of air Into
them. Some Of the bubbles Will be
more than q foot In diameter. Try
this experiment the next time you
wash your hands.

INTERESTING LORE OF HAND
Few Men Can Tell the Truth While
Their Hands Remain Open
Some 9lpns and symbols.

When q man is not telling the truth
he is apt to clench his hands, as few
men can lie with their hands open.
A man who holds his thumb tightly
within his hand has weak Will power
Strong willed persons hold their
thumbs outside when shutting theiE
hands.
Shaking hands In greeting was orig
finally an evidence that each person
was unarmed.
Among savage tribes when a man
holds up hands It In q sign OF peace
an evidence that he Is unarmed OF
does not intend to use weapons. An
outlaw says. Hold up your hands!
meaning thereby to make his victim
powerless to resist attack.
When a man kisses the hands OF
woman he expresses his submission
This is also the idea when kissing the
hands OF kings. BY this act their su
periority Is acknowledged.
When an oath is taken 1t Is done By
raising the right hand. or laying II
upon bible.
In the conservation Of bishops
priests and deacons, and also In con
-firmation. the laying on OF hands 10 the
essence Of the sacramento rite.
A bishop gives his blessing with
the thumb and first and second fingers
In this the thumb represents God the
Father, the first finger stands for God
the Holy Ghost, the three together
,symbolizing the Holy Trinity.
The wedding ring is placed upon the
third finger Of the woman's hand to
show that, after the Trinity, mans
love, honor and duty is given to his
wife.
Besides the deaf and dumb there
are many people. notably Of Latin and
Semitic races, who talk with theil
hands.
