SAFETY OF otis elevators
Interesting Display of Service Shown
x in Windows of Local Office, %
South Third Street

Otis elevators have been from the
beginning prominently safe. With
Elisha Graves Otis, the inventor of the
power elevator, safety was matter
Of devotion. He realized that the whole
question of the elevators existence
and progress rested on the extent to
which elevators were made safe and in
consequence his elevators were invari-
ably equipped with safety devices,
even when not demanded by the pur-
chaser. 1t has been this continued
safety OF Otis elevators that has Great
ed the public 5 universal confidence in
elevators public that travels nearly
twice as much each day in a city s
elevators as on the city's street rail
ways. The primary reason for the safe,
~ of Otis elevators is found in their
superior, careful design and workman
ship.
1t is almost unnecessary to state
that these safety devices of Otis ele-
vators are rarely called upon to oper-
ate. In the everyday operation of an
Otis electric elevator it is the elec-
triesl safety features which make GER
tam the speeds, starts, stops and auto
matte retardation of the ear at the
upper and lower limits of travel that
insure the public 5 safety in elevator
travel.
An interesting display of elevator
service is being shown in the windows
of their local offices by II. C. Mother
well, the Harrisburg representative, at
2S South Third street.

that the Central Democratic Club will

There is much comment on the story
that John p. Guyer, clerk to the Board

candidate for the nomination for Direc-

Socialist tickets. Mr.. Guyer was placed

then jumped to the Keystone party,
then to the Democratic party, making
the latter change in order that he could
get after the Millersburg postoffce. If
he is not made postmaster he intends

that visited their exhibit at the big

their personal efforts to entertain

1t is the opinion of quite a number
of people, however, that these gentle
men have another guess. They say that
ii was Wrinkles" Mr.. McFarland's 3
prize bulldog. and the beauty of the
Haynes Light six that caused the ex-
pressions of appreciation and delight.
Just the same, they are very enthusi-
astic and take great pride in the

their car and Wrinkles" should possess
such attractive qualities, and thev con
tlnue to wear the pleasant smile that
won't come off.

The outside air is much colder. and
consequently the heat will radiate much
faster from the cylinders than in warm

the motor, this extra loss of heat must
be made up by supplying an extra
amount of fuel. The cooling system
should also receive careful attention to
prevent any damage arising from freez-

TEXAS MAGAZINE EDITORS
TRIBUTE TO MIR. WATSON.

Thos e. Watson, of Georgia, one
of the brainiest men of the South,
brilliant statesman, Journalist of
undaunted courage, and an uncOm-
promising enemy Of the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy, who was indicted
by the Federal Grand Jury for expos
ing a part of the hellish denominations
of the ROmish system, called a
Church" and religion" was ex-
honorated from the charge of send
ing obscene matter" through the U.
S. mails, by Judge Foster, presiding,
Oct. 81.
The matter which constituted a
plea for indictment against Mr.. Wat
son, consisted of questions put to
the fair SEX of the Romish persua-
sion, by the Wireless paterfamilias in
the private confessional.
In gaining this voctory over the
Columbus fraternity, who were in
strumental in procuring the original
indictment against him, Mr.. Watson
has dealt the Roman Catholic HER
archy a blow that will be felt and
realized from the turbulent waves of
the Atlantic, via Tammany Hall, to
the balmy breezes of the Pacific; and
from Cu0 lIOL61 ISSICIlS vi C1IC ANOA III
to the sunny shores of the South.
Many of us remember that just
prior to the Indictment against Mr..
Watson, he was the much-talked-of-
delegate-at-large from Georgia to the
National Democratic Convention at
Baltimore; and that the Democratic
Romanists of New York City objected
on the grounds that "Mr. Watson's
presence in that convention would
be an insult to the fifteen million
Roman Catholics in the United
States"
Isn't it strange how the presence
of a cultured gentleman could have

their own Ritual" clothed with it's
Latin robe, cannot be transmitted

MANS ANIMAL FRIENDS.

DR.. P. Chalmers Mitchell, secre-
tary Of the Geological Society Of Lon
don, recently said that out of the
5000 or more mammals and 200,-
600 different kinds Of birds known
to naturalists, man had succeeded in
adopting or turning to his own use
only one or two dozen different
kinds. 1t would almost seem as if
the dOmestication of animals were
an art that had been lost ever since
the time when man was one animal
living among other animals Birds
and animals today quickly learn the
situation of the parks and other
spots in towns and cities where they
are free from persecution-a fact
that leads Doctor Mitchell to believe
that by establishing reservations for
animals and birds, we could study
them and make friends with them,
and perhaps recapture our lost heri-

A Letter From GA Woman That
KmnwA7e -
Knows. -

IN the December number of Watson's Maya
zine there was an article of mine that was
written so innocently that no suspicion of
being engaged in sinful occupation entered
my old red head.
Yet, it shocked Aunt Nancy, made Cousin
Susan swoon, and caused a certain preacher
to put up the bars at his castle gate, to keep
my magazine from getting inside.
That's what people get by not reading the
Old Testament where we are told quite a
number of very natural, human things, in
particularly plain human way.
Cousin Susan was so hurt because | had
made the preacher lose his appetite for chit
terlings, that she took her seat and wrote me
a letter that made me dream all night of the
bears that ate the Hebrew children.
So you see its a strenuous life, being an
Editor, unless you are an editor who gets his
editorials sent to him like they now send sheet
music for the pianola, or gutta- percha plates
for the Graphophone.
Of course. [ conquered my sadness, and
recovered from the nightmare about those
bears, and I wrote Cousin Susan a real nice
reply to her lecture | also gave her some
advice to hand to her indignant preacher; but
I have no idea she'll hand it to him.
But, bless goodness! the very next morn
ing after Cousin Susan had blown me up
about the December Magazine, there came
letter, beautifully, delicately penned by the
frail hand of a Chicago lady-and if ever
message came straight from one honest soul
to another, hers came to mine.
Cousin Susan never married: and she did
not read my December Magazine to that
preachers aoife.
All!
[ have seen some preachers, red and portly
with self-indulgence; glorying in their physi-
cal animality, feeding it most literally at the

table, conserving their strength in all of
mans unconscious selfshness-and then [
have seen the wan. thin, child bearing wife,
old and broken and withered before her time;
and [ have thought to myself number Of
thoughts that would not be fit to print
All, if the a0ives could go up into the pull
pits and preach awhile, Cousin Susan would
not scold me any more. In fact, no a05fe has
ever Sc0Jded me for seamo0aSSi1ag to boys and
men about the duty of semuaz se1f-d0roda1!
But let us come to the remarkable letter OF
this Northern lady-a lady whom l will
never meet, but whose Utmost life was pene-
trated by what Cousin Susan feared was
naughty.
Chicago Ill., Jan. 18th, 1914.
Mr.. Tom Watson.
Dear Sir: I want to thank you for an article
in the December issue of your Magazine, No. 2,
Vol. 49,
Permit me to say it is right to the point true
in every respect and near to the Bible teach
ings as possible for human mortals to get.
I have often made the remark, go to brute
creation for example. If would only
learn what that means and do So how many self
sacrificing, white slaves, in private homes would
lift their hearts to God in grateful acknowledge
ment.

Cody controlled nature and an uncontrolled, eve
can't say beastly, because that would place an
undeserved stigma on the beast,) are two differ
ent aspects
I have often wished God had been little more
explicit in this Divine record, men could not
pervert the word of Cod few words of PauPs
in particular and miscOnstrue them into excuse
for the yielding of all their uncontrolled, or
rather Devil controlled desires of the flesh Since
according to Gods word only the spiritual dis
corners of His word able to see, (and the
Devil has taken great pains to prevent the
majority of the universe in obtaining this spiri-
tual eye-sight) Why we simple ones can't expect
them to see and God has most generously
