Odd MARRIAGE Belief.

An unmarried man or woman or
marriageable age is something that Is
rarely seen In the Fiji islands. The
reason of this is not far to seek. The
natives believe that If n person dies
while In an unmarried state his or
her sonl Is doomed TO wander about
through endless nges Of eternity in an
intermediate region between heaven
and hades. At the end OF each moon
they are allowed to look into heaven.

AT the close of our war there

Rock Island Employees as
Economists.
Road Asks for Suggestions in
Saving.
USES $500 POUNDS OF PINS
Nearly 100000 "Stickers"
Year on Lines.
Other Items of General Interest
i'm Traffic World.

The Rock Island Lines are leading
other roads in the country in economy
methods among employees. Rubber
bands, clippers, pencils. scratch paper
and scores of small articles in rail-
road office have been guarded by clerks
and officials.
Now the Rock Island has sent a
circular to the Topeka general offices
warning the employees of the careless
use of pins. Furthermore the road
asks its employees to make suggestions
for economy.
The circular conducted by the Rock
Island Employees magazine follows:
Lest some of our employees may feel
that some suggestions which they
sometimes feel like making are too
small to be of any value, it is thought
an exposition of what saving can be
made on a very small suggestion.
1t was recently suggested by one of
our highest officials that the length of
the standard pin which we use might
be reduced 1-16 of an inch. This in
itself would seem to be a very small
matter. yet upon its adoption, this
company saved the cost of 921, 900 Cor
nearly a million) pins per year. That
is to say, there are 256 more to the
pound of the pins we will receive than
of those we have been using, making
Il saving of about II cents per pound,
and there is no appreciable difference
in the benefits derived.
This company uses $500 pounds of
pins per annum. Therefore, this one
suggestion has saved the company $S1
per year, although on it's face there
propably isn't one employee in five
hundred who would think it would
save more than SIS. This very small
suggestion has saved this officials
nickel day for nearly five years.
If the Rock Island management
could get just one such suggestion as
above from each employee, the aggre-
gate annual saving would be in the
neighborhood of 100000, or more
than is paid to it's stockh olders in the
form of dividends each year.
In order to encourage suggestions
from employees in regard to any pos
sible savings, be they large or small,
it has been arranged that the editor
of this magazine will receive and
transmit to the proper official for fur
Their action any and all suggestions Of
fered to him. Address Editors En-
ployees' Magazine, La Sale Street Sta
ton, Chicago, Ill.
Employees may be assured that
whether or not their suggestions are
adopted, they will be subject to no
criticism for offering same, and if
they so desire and will so specify, their
names will be withheld in transmitting
their ideas to the proper officials for
action. However, no attention will be |
given to anonymous communications. |

BIG GOULD LINE MORTGAGE.
Not Less Than SIS, 200, 900 for Use in
Rehabilitation.

New York. April 5.-The new finan-
cling of the ST. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern Railway company, now in
course of preparation, is expected to
take the form of refunding mortgage
of not less than SITS, 100000, instead
of 100000, as reported a few days
ago. The major part of the proceeds
are to be used in refunding the out
standing debt, which aggregates with
the various series of equipment and
other note issues Sal, 100000. 1t is
not likely that a broad process of re-
funding and retiring the present debt
will be undertaken soon. The com
pany will be prepared to issue new
bonds in place of old at the different
periods of maturity extending from
1916 to 1888. Several note issues fall
due in the next three years. the largest
being $S,500,0 600 6 per cent gold notes
dated June /, 1911, which are de-
posted as collateral behind an issue
of Missouri Pacific notes.
The Iron Mountain management has
prepared a comprehensive schedule of
improvements which will require be-
tween s20.00O,0OO and $4,000, 600
cash. These funds are to be realized
through bond sales under the new
mortgage.
