pUNCTUAL TRAINS.

The west of France State railway
has devised a method of bringing
trains to their destination on time.
which must surely appeal more to a
Frenchman's sense of humOr than to
his convenience. Instead of aceeler-
ating the speed of trains which have
been VIGOROUSLY behind time, says
the Scientific American, the officials
Of this road, who happen to be gov
eminent officials, have adopted the
naive plan of starting the trains as
much earlier rs the average time by
which they have been late. The
Standard of London. commenting on
the matter, says: whereas hitherto
tie stipulated times of departures
ard arrivals were purely mythical
they will henccforth be statements
of fact, unless. of course, it should
again become necessary to appl,
brake power to the time table.

LARGEST STATION IN GERMANY.

The largest railroad station in
Germany has just been completed at
Leipzig at a cost of $34,OOO.OOO.
Heretofore the central station at
Frankfort has held the record for
size. The new building at Leipzig
has been in course of construction

cost does not SO much represent an

occasioned by offended evil spirits

WOULD YOU HIRE YOURSELF

One of the most striking questions
that could be propounded the aver
age man is: Would you hire your
self? 1t would be good thing for
every man in this city whether he
be clerk. mechanic, employer of la
Dor. or what not. Would you pay
yourself the wage you receive for
what you do now? That is hard
question, one that you should han
die carefully.
In the CaXtOn, Edwin F. FerndOn
has written the following story: We
want you to read it, apply it to your
self. If you are not earning your
present salary go to the man who
pays you and ask him to cut it down.
Such things have been done occa-
siOnally. 1t fixes you strong and
puts you in a true light for yourself
to see. Here is the story:
Honestly. now. would you employ
YOURSELF" Did you ever put that
question to yourself? Did you ever
answer it fairly. way down in your
heart and way back in your head
answer it the way you know that it
should be answered? Did you ever
answer it without bubble or evasion,
without ifs or butts. without any 9TH
er feeling but that of commercial
disinterestedness?
You say that cant be done? But
i can. You've done it hundreds of
times; I've done it. our neighbors
have done it. The real true answer
Is that way-back feeling-that in
nermost consciousness = that OBJ
trudes itself whenever the question
comes up and we wrestle with it.
When you're dissatisfied with your
job, when everyone else seems to be
doing better than you, when you feel
that your services aren't appreciated
rs substantially as they should be,
when you rail at what the house
doesn't do for you, when you spend a
couple of hours of each working day
nursing your woes instead Of putting
your shoulder to the business, when
in fine. you are absolutely certain
you're getting no square deal. then
ask yourself the question: Honestly,
now, would you employ yourself?"
The long odds arc you're in bet
ter position to answer that question
even than your employer.
OF course, whether you answer it
truly or not. whether you answer it
the way your inncrmost conscious
ness tells you to, is another matter

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

So great is the difference of opin-
ion as to the cause of the increased
cost of living that there is danger
that while the doctors disagree the
patient may die.
The government holds the meat
packers in part to blame, charging
that they have formed combination
to increase prices. In defense the
packers set up that the supply of
cattle has decreased until it is no
longer sufficient to meet the demands
at lower prices.
High cost of living is due to bad
management, says the New YORK
World, which lays the fault to dis
tributi0n, and shows by figures the
difference between the price the
producer receives and what the con-
sumner pays. This difference is great
est in farm products. A similar view
is taken by the Washington Herald,
which points out that when there is
a bumper fruit crop the grower loses
money and the consumer gets his
fruit no cheaper. This is illustrated
this year in the Georgia peach crop,
and the Herald says the same condi-
tons exist as to the other food sup
plies.
The Washington Post says part of
the cost is due to extravaganza, and
in proof cites the $4,000. 900 spent
last year with fraudulent mail order
concerns.
The New York Evening Post lays
the death of Cock Robin at the door

economies are despised in buying,
and in caring for things after they
are bought. We eat with waste and
we give without judgment. In tips

DEPARTMENT GAVE
DISTORTED REPORTS
TO NEWSPAPERMEN
Correspondents Appear as
Witnesses Against Board
of Agriculture.

The activities of press agents" in
the executive departments of the Gov
ernment was the subject of a hearing
before the House Rules Committee to-
day on the Nelson resolution to inves-
tigate by what authority departmental
publicists are maintained at the expense
of the public. .. ...
CONGRESSMAN Nelson and seceral
newspaper correspondents appeared
with documents to show that the de-
partmental press agent is on the job.
This seems a field which may well
be investigated by the committees on
expenditures in the several depart
ments," commented Chairman Henry Of
the Rules Committee during the hear
ing,
Mr.. Nelson's resolution, asking for a
special investigation committee, applies
only to the Department of Agriculture,
which is accused of having "franked'
distorted reports of the recent hearings
before the committee Investigating tho
meat inspection service. Mr.. Nelson
explained that he had found 1t cumber-
some to introduce a separate resolution
for the Investigation of the press agent
system of all the departments, but had
intended to focus attention first on the
Department of Agriculture.
Chairman Henry and other members
of the Rules Committee indicated that
the expenditures committees of the
House are no wclothed with authority
to probe the alleged press agent evil
and the probabilities are a wholesale
inquiry will soon be in progress.
Charles Willis Thompson, chief of
the Washington bureau of the New
New
York World, and Charles p. Hunt, Of
the Arizona Republican, all of whom
were subpoenaed by the Rules Com
mittee, furnished documentary and
circulated by the departments through
press agents.
Especial criticism was made today
of the Department Of Agricultures
press agent methods. The committee
was furnished with extracts from
daily reports sent out by the depart
ment purporting to be a synopsis of
the hearings before the Moss commit
tee.
Mr.. Hunt said that he had called the
attention of the. city postoffice to the
"garbled reports of the meat inspec-
tion investigation, WHICH were circulated
by the Department of Agriculture At
the city office, he said. he was informed
that such matter ought not to be sent
under frank, through the mails, but that
from the department to stop 1t.
Did you t<ke the matter up with the
Postmaster General?" asked Chairman
Henry.
"You can't get to him. said Mr.. Hunt.
Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane took the
stand to resent the departments criti-
cism of her competency. as a witness
against the meat inspection service.
II the Rules Committee does not re-
port the Nelson resolution 1t probably
will pass the hint along TO the several
COMMITTEES on the expenditures In the
various departments to get busy" in
Investigations of the alleged press agent
evil, which Congressman Nelson asserts
is not authorized in law.
