Of lives; and have been placed at
the free service of physicians and
the general public wherever call
may be made for them along or
near the 600 miles of the COM

much as all speed is necessary in
applying the pulmotor in case of
apparent death from suffocation,
shock, drowning, etc. Every
second may be vital; therefore
with its announcement of the
pulmotors' locations the company
has coupled the advice that the
following details be kept handy
for quick use when the emer-
gency arises.
Ten Of the machines have been
placed at stations, including two
hospitals, in Atlanta. The thir.
teen others have been distributed

WILL
REMAIN NEUTRAL

London, Oct. A message
from Bucharest, Roumania, an
nounces that the president of the
Council of Grown and Conserva-
tive and Democratic leaders have
decided to ask King Charles not
to hold the council meeting fixed
for this week, saying there is no
need for Roumania to change her
policy of neutrality.
King Charles, because of prom
Use he had made to Germany, de-
sired to mobilize the Roumanian
army to assist the Germans in the
war. A Council of Crown was
held, but only one member, it is
said sided with the King. At the
session of the council planned for
this week the matter was to have
been taken up again.

RUSSIA PUTS ON
WHITE RIBBON"
Prohibition Order Will Be
Prolonged After War

Petrograd, Sept. 30-An order
was issusd today that the prohibit
ton of the sale of vodka shall be
continued indefinitely after the
war. This order is based on the
tremendously improved condition
of the country since the Emperor
issued the edict prohibiting traffic
in this liquor.
Travellers from Southern Russia
say there is such change in that
region that the country is hardly
recognizable. Peasants who be-
fore the war had fallen into hope
less Incidence and depravltY, al
ready have emerged into self re-
speeding citizens. Huts which for
merly were dilapidated and allow
ed to go without repairs are now
kept i'll first-class condition.
The towns have become more
orderly and the peasants indulge
in wholesome amusemeDts. These
people now save 50 per cent of
their earnings which formerly was
spent for drink, and they have in
creased their earning capacity
through sobriety.
This startling regeneration of
the peasantry in the opinion of the
Russian authorities is likely to
have an important effect on social
and economic conditions of all
Russia. A change in the large
cities also is noticeable. Liquor is
still sold in firstcIass cafes, but
these are practically empty. The
Nevsky Prospect, once famous for
its gay midnight life, is now quiet
without sign of revelrv.

Chickens at $4S.OO Eaeh.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 3.-Mrs. F.
W. Schonburg, who lives, out
Highland avenue, made a deal il
chickens this week which makes
the fancy prices obtained by
noted breeders seem insignificant.
And she didn't know about it
until it was all over.
In the hours just before dawn
Mrs. Schonburg heard squawk
from the coop where two fine
Orpingtons were roosting. She
shrieked for help and then heard
somebody going over the fence.
AT dawn she went out to i r.
vestigate, and the chickens we've
gone. There were tracks lead
ing to the back fence, and on the
ground lay a pocketbook with
ninety dollars in currency in it.
which Mrs. Schonburg placed to
the credit of SO chickens at S45
each-S9O.OO. The thief, who
was unusually well off for a
chicken hunter, had evidently
dropped the money in his haste.
though he had held on to the
chickens. No, he has not come
back to recover his coin.

George Johnson
Elected Police Judge

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 5.-George
Johnson. Atlanta's newly elected
police judge, is as full of good
stories as a watermelon is of seeds
and he told this one this week.
He wac a police commissioner for
several years, and once offered a
gold watch to the policeman who
would submit the best essay on
What Makes the Best Police
man."
Il read a hundred essays, long
and short, "he said," "but the
best of all, in my opinion, was
handed in by a wag in uniform.
He wrote:
''The best policeman is an Irish
man with jug of liquor and an
uncle in the city council"
Great fun is looked for when
Recorder Johnson opens his first
court. He has a ready sense of
humor and a quick tongue, and
his remarks from the bench are
likely to revive in the newspa-
pers the column of police court
comedy they used to print when
Darktown was in its prime.

Safety first is Mr. Sabres motto Tie
insists that to subject people to q ris,.
which can be avoided by safeguards is
nothing short Of criminal. He has been
at 1t since 1905, trying to hold the rail-
roads up to his standard of public
safety
The long fill of three and one-ouarter
miles which connects South Hero with
the mainland is his particular no,nt ~
attack. For some years Mr. Sabre has
contended that this fill as crossed bv
Rutland trains is dangerous. He saws
That he mad timed the trains crossing this
piece of track in many instances and
that they run at rate Of from thirty
i've to forty-flve miles an hour. He is
convinced, however. that If they did it
at thirty miles 1t would he dangerous
because of the lack of guard rails.
Mr. Sabre says that in one year there
were four accidents any one of which
If It had occurred on this particular sec
ton of track would have been sure to
result In terrible loss Of life. The rea-
son is that in this part of its course the
track runs along a high embankment
with the waters of the lake below.
The fight has been very long one,
Mr.. Sabre said, and will be pushed into
the courts If no other means can avail.
He had a picture of a track In a similar
situation on a railroad in Mexico which
was equipped with guard rails and said
that 1t did seem as If any seif-respectng
American road. especially one right here
In Vermont. ought to take as great
pains for the preservation of human life
as are taken in Mexico.
