PARCEL POST POINTERS
Ordinary stamps are not good
in parcel post, nor are parcel post
stamps good on other mail mat
ter, like letters. Either kind of
mail, with the wrong stamps on
it, will be treated as if it didn't
have any stamps on at all, and
your money will be wasted.
You can send almost anything
by parcel post, up to II pounds
in weight and y inches in COM
bined length and girth.
You can't mail whisky, explo-
sives, pistols nor Internal ma
chimes.
You can mail live queen bees,
for instance, if they're boxed so
they won't sting the mail man.
All packages under four ounces
take a fiat rate everywhere of one
cent an ounce, regardless of dis
lance. Over four ounces is con-
sidered one pound and all such
packages take the pound rate, by
zones.
Seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots,
scions and plants get a special
rate of one cent for each two.

MRS. EATON ACQUITTED

Plymouth, Mass, Oct. 30.-After a
remarkable trial, during which the
defense endeavored to weave a cir
cumstantial chain of evidence or to
prove insanity, Mrs. Jennie May
Eaton was acquitted on the charge of
numbering her husband, Rear Ad-
miral Joseph G. Eaton, by poison.
Z Mrs. Eaton's own story of her life
of service to her husband, whom she
accused of being drug user and
drunkard, convinced the jury of her
innocence. Sanity experts in the
courtroom studied her through three
days of grilling and were unable to
detect one sign of mental instability.
Mrs. Eaton is today practically pen
niless. Her aged mother was weak
ened by her ordeal on the stand and
the strain of the trial What is left
of the Eaton family faces a difficult

Possibly, however, he has been
successful, since the Tribune says it
so miraculously has come to know of

It is hard to see just what gam

of Bedford by Annenberg.
The shooting followed a Tribune

which was to get a gambling picture
to use with gambling story.
But the shooting of Bedford by An
nenberg did not occur during the
raid on Larman's pool hall by the
Tribune; it occurred after that raiCl
was over, and BeIford did not come
out of Earnan's pool hall and is not

Also, if the Tribune found Lar
mans pool hall to be such a teTTlula
gambling dive, why has not the
Tribune published the picture its
photographers took of Larman's pool
hall?
Is it possible that Edward S. Beck,
managing editor of the Tribune, won
the freedom of Max AnnenbeTg the
gunman last Sunday by promising
Police Captain StOren not to publish
the picture it had taken of Larman's
pool hall?
One would think that after a
newspapers wild raid to get a gam
bling picture had been followed by
the almost fatal shooting of a man,
that that newspaper would think the
picture bought at a high enough price
to be worth using.

OF the Babcock fat test are today the
standards by which the commercial
value Of milk Is judged.
In determining the purity as well
as the quality of milk the bacterial
count has an obvious Importance;
but this calls for elaborate laboratory
apparatus. The acid test gives some
Indication of the age and general
condition OF milk and Is used along
with curd and fermentation tests by
some creameries and cheese factories.
The so-called sediment test has OF
late achieved considerable prominence
In certain parts Of the United States,
according to The Journal OF the Amer
lean Medical Association. The amount
of sediment in milk Is an indication
Of insanitary conditions, for dirt in
milk is not only unsightly and unpal-
atable. but serves to carry with 1T the
dangers Of all kinds of communicating
bacteria. Dirty milk always has a
high bacterial count. 1t is very OBJ
1ectionable If not actually dangerous.
Clean milk does not necessarily call
for special farm equipment or great
outlay; 1t merely demands attention
to small details and a reasonable
amount OF care in electromagnetic
The partially covered milk-pafl has
been an efficient innovation In the d.
erection of excluding dirt acquired dur
ing the milking process. One OF the
best ways Of inducing the delivery or
clean milk is by convincing the pro-
Queer that his milk contains seii-
ment. and by demonstrating through
actual trials that it is easy to produce
the cleaner variety. The sediment
test is made by straining pint of
milk through cotton disk one inch
In diameter which Is attached to the
bottom of one of the several varieties
Of inexpensive testers. The evidence
all indicates further, that when small
top milk-pails are used the dirt cor
tent is decreased and the number OF
bacteria present is correspondlngly
reduced Under certain conditions
the sediment test may even be used
as an approximate indication of the
number of bacteria that are introduced
into the milk on the farm. OF course
dirty market milk may be strained
SO that 1t appears cleaner
than In earlier handling justifies; but
dirt and manure will leave their eff
fects no matter how milk is subse-
quently treated. The sediment test

Electricity Builds Great Terminal
The New $l8Oooo,ooo Railway Station in New
York Was Made Possible BY the Electric Motor.

! ne new YORK central ana all the
hosts of the travelling public owe the
very existence OF the new Grand Cen
tral terminal to the electric motor
! This last word In railway stations Ii

without electricity it could never have
been built at all.
The outstanding feature OF this ter
minal is that its seventy-nine acres OF
tracks are depressed below the level
OF Manhattan's busy streets, and above
them the architects have been able to
build the stately terminal buildings
and throw open to Improvement with
modern and useful structures the re-
manning thirty city blocks.
When the final plans are carried to
completion the traveller arriving in
New York will find cluster Of term,
liiial buildings including apartment
houses. clubs. hotels, restaurants, CON
vention, amusement and exhibition
halls, besides numerous specially
stores
Beneath 1t all eight hundred trains a
day come and go undisturbed and n
disturbing. The very conception of
the terminal city is based upon the
idea that the trains should run be-
meath the surface of the city And
this never could have been achieved
In the days when the trains were
hauled by steam locomotives. The
terminal and the terminal city could
never have been attempted amid the
noise and smoke and dirt of the old
coal burners. But steam and the loco
motive have been banished from Man
haitian, and in their place is the cleo
Itric motor, silent, clean, swift and
capable Of developing 4ooS horsepow-
er. So the motor is the basic fact OF
the whole undertaking that represents
an outlay Of $4,000. 600.
The electric zone extends twenty
five miles from New York, and at this
point every train, either coming or go
ing. is stopped and the road engine
exchanged for an electric motor, or
vice versa. Each motor is powerful
machine, weighing lis tons.
The electric brain of this system is

self worth going a long way to see.
From it is goyernored the movement
of hundreds of trains over an intricate
web of sixty-seven tracks, day in and

1t is the twentieth century idea In
the electrical control of trains. It is
the largest thing of its kind in the
wocld, and to the perfection OF it's op-
Grafton is committed the safety of mil
lions of passengers a year.
In the oil days, when the tracks
were open to the sky, it took an army
of men to throw the switches by hand
in the terminal yards. Later, with the
coming OF the control switches from
the towers. 1t took smaller army to
throw the long levers back and forth.
That was called the manual system.
Then came the automatic system, that
was worked by compressed air, then
the combination of air and electricity.
Now it is electricity alone that does
the work. Three or four men pacing

HOW TO DETECT DIRTY MIX.

about marked impro1 ement in many

| In one long, narrow room in this
tower there is something that looks
like a handsomely finished oaken case

about as high as an ordinary up
right piano and about as wide. In.
side, but concealed from view is q
maze OF electric wires slender cords
that resemble the seeming tangle at
the back OF a big telephone switch
board. In front, breast high, Is a dou.
Bile row of metal handles, each with a
straight grip hands breadth long
one up and one down alternately.
Over at one side of the room, about
halfway down Its length, man sits at
a desk on which a telegraph instru-
ment chatters Internationally. On a
frame OF ground glass beside him is
etched a map of tracks In the terminal
spreading out fanwise from the mouth
of the tunnel under Park avenue. A
little circle about half the diameter OF
a dime marks the point where each
track branches off.
AS soon as the train shits the hill
AS they call emerging from the tun-
mel mouth-the first bulb lights behind
the first Of these little circles. The
tower directorate man at the tele-
graph key-knows that the train is
coming, for he has been advised of its
nj ctr 4 tt rri,
Bridge or Mott Haven junction and
knows just what he is going to do
with it. just where he is going to
place 1t, as soon as 1t gets within his
reach. The tower director looks over
to the men standing before the long
row of handles and says, "124." or
49,,
Each handle has a number above 1t.
The man who has the number called
within his division Of the long box
pulls the corresponding handle AS
he does SO he feels q tiny thrill that
is the indication that the high field
motor that controls the switch is do
ing the work. Then there is a gentle
click. which is the second indication, .
telling Of the release of the armature
magnet. A little square OF ground
glass above the handle is illuminated
and shows that the switch and signal
are set. Another little circle lights
up On the tower directors map, an
other number is called, and SO on I'M
til the train or the engine Is at the
end OF its journey.
Should the tower director call a
wrong number or should one Of the
men misunderstood him and pull the
wrong lever the electric indicators
would show the error at once. Not
only that but that particular section
of the interlocking system OF switches
and signals on the tracks outside
would show it to the eyes of the engi-
neer.
Even if the engineer did not see It
the train would be "tripped" automat-
ically and brought to a stop until the
error was rectified. This signal tow
er below the surface of the street is
the last word in electrical control OF
trains. 1t was put in full operation
only short time ago.
