Here's To the steadfast reliable men.
The men with the tongues that's true,
Who won't promise to do any more than they can
But who II do what they say they n do.
They may not be clever, they re often quite blunt,
Without either polish or air,
But though it i not la them To put up a front,
When youneed them they re always there.
So here's to the men on whom one can rely,
And here's to their lasting success.
Nav their species continue tn multiply
And their shadow never grow less.

Lewiston, Me-, Nov II. (SpeciaD.-
An Interscholastic Debating League
has been formed by Prof. A. C. Baird
Of the Debating Department of Bates
College to arouse interest in this branch
of English in the prep schools of the
state. Bates, which has produced
many especially fine debaters, owing
to the efficient instruction offered in
the course, is well fitted to undertake
the guidance of the lower schools in
this department The league will be
open to any preparatory school in the
State and will be divided into two
groups. The first Of these groups will
be composed of the Academies, and
private schools, the second group Of
the public High schools. Prizes are
offered for the winner in each division
and a silver loving cup to the final
winner of the series. The debates will
take place at the different schools rep
resented In the league until the final,
which will be held at Hathorne Hall
on the Bates Campus. 1t is expected
that much interest will be shown in
the plan and already names of several
of the largest High schools have been
enrolled as members.

Los Angeles, the Land
of a Billion Blossoms

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 17-Three
score municipalities. nearly 100 civic
organizations and 100000 school chill
dren are banded together in Los An
geles city and county to make their
section of the state a veritable floral
paradise for 1915, when the San Fran
cisco and San Diego great expositions
will attract thousands of visitors to
california.
The mighty task was begun nearly
a year ago. The movement became
so popular that the county supervisors
appropriated more than half a million
dollars to defray the cost of beautify-
ing the public property, while private
owners are spending many times that
sum in floral displays.
Two hundred miles of asphalt boule-
wards throughout the county are lined
with rose trellises, the streets of Los
Angeles are being decorated with
stately palms and ferns, the parks
will be gorgeous masses of color, and
Fairgrounds, vacant lots. home gar
dens and even humble back yards will
glow with native flowers.
The decorative scheme is part of the
plan of the 1915 general committee
on entertainment and celebration of
the Panama canal. 1t is the stage
setting for a series Of elaborate open
air entertainments that will be ush-
cred in with the Carnival of Roses at
Pasadena, in the Sierra Nevada foot
hills near Los Angeles, on New Years
day, when Nature is in her most law
ish mood in this section. Forty cities
join in this pageant of flowers.
LOS Angeles, the Land of Billion
Blossoms" is the newest title bestowed
as the winter flowers are coming into
their first bloom.

NEURALdIC PAINS

Among the causes of neuralgia the
most important is the general physi-
cal condition of the patient. Neuralgia
Is most common in persons reduced in
strength by oyer-work or some form
OF over-exertion. physical or mental,
OF by loss of sleep. Anaemia, or lack
OF good, red blood is a common cause
of neuralgia. The reason for this is
plain. The nerves get their nourish-
ment through the blood. When the
blood is thin and weak the nerves are
badly nourished, they become infiamed
and neuralgia pains are produced.
These pains have been described as
the cry of a starved nerve"
Hot applications to soothe these in
famed nerves and DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to build up the blood and carry
the needed elements to the nerves is
the correct treatment and one that
has brought good results in SO many
cases that 1t is no longer an expert
ment. Headache. backache, sleep
lessness, nervous debility. nervous
breakdown, St. Wtus' dance and the
functional forms Of partial paralysis

BETTER RAILS AND
STEEL CARS THE RULE

Washington, Now The construc-
ton Of wooden passenger cars for the
railways of the United States prac-
tically has ceased, according to the
report of the Committee on rails and
equipment. of which C. c. McChord
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is chairman, made to the annual
convention of the National Association
Of Railway Commissioners today.
The Committee finds that Sc per cent
of the 1921 derailments in the 10
years from 1904 to 1913, inclusive, were
due to defective roadway and equip
ment. These derailments were the
cause OF 1927 deaths.
Not only defects in steel but heavy
wheel loads and high speed are blamed
for some of the breaking Of rails or
failure of rails in other respects.
There can be no doubt" the COM
mittee reports, "that steel cars are
better and safer than those Of wooden
construction. A statement from the
Pullman company shows that In four
years 70 persons were killed in wooden
Pullman cars while only six were
killed in all-steel cars.
There has been a noticeable in
crease from year to year in the loads
to which rails and equipment have
been subjected and the increase Is
still going on says the report. I'm
no other situation involving danger to
life is material used with so slender a
margin in strength, judging from the
annual statistics of accidents. In COM
parison with other engineering uses
of materials of construction know
ledge of the working stresses in
railway materials is in a very back
ward state. No other service furnishes
so extended q list Of annual failures
which, in part. is attributed to this
lack Of information nor would such an
exhibit of failure be tolerated in any
other branch OF engineering. Many
Of these failures are believed to be Of
a preventable nature and even in the
light of present knowledge, could be
guarded against"
The committee suggested consider
alton whether there should -Abe some
state or federal supervisors of this
