INVESTIGATE WRECK
Question Of Responsibility At
taChes TO Orders and Their
Receiptby Motor Crew.
CANNOT FIX RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility for the wreck at
Upton Ford week ago, caused by
the collision of a Missouri & North
Arkansas motor car with the first
section of passenger train No 56 Of
the Kansas City Southern, running
as a freight, probably never will be
positively fixed - said A. j. Adams,
inspector for the interstate commerce
commission, in Joplin Wednesday,
Zone of two things caused the col
lision and no direct testimony ever
will be brought out to prove Whe'
ther Operator tladley in Joplin gave
the meeting order to the crew OF the
motor, in which event the three men
disregarded it, or whether Operator
Hadley did not give them the order,
allowing them to speed to their doom
unaware Of its proximity
Nothing was brought out at the
hearing showing in any way that
the operator did not deliver the or
der which he aihrms he did, and as
the crew Of the motor car perished,
their story never will be told,
"No responsibility whatever can be
attached to the crew of the passen-
ger tram for the accident, as they
were carrying out their portion OF
the meet order when the crash
came
"ln regard to the construction of
the moter car which was built by
the General Electric Company it was
an al.steel car costing $50, 900, 1t
was about seventy feet long and was
supposed to accomodate seventy
passengers without overlooking, Ac.
cording to the testimony OF several
passengers, who were on the car
and who survived, all of those in the
car when the accident occurred were
seated and several seats were vacant
SO far as we have been able 70 de-
termine, 6ity.nine passengers escap-
ed death and the other thirty'hve
were killed, There may have been
more aboard the car,
81 think beyond question that the
victims of the affair were suiiocated
by the fumes from the burning gaso-
line before the hre ever reached their
bodies. Probably 1O5 gallons OF
gasoline were in the tank Of the car
at the time Of the wreck, and the jar
caused connecting pipe TO part,
scattering the volatile fluid, Those
killed were thrown into q pile in one
end Of the car by the shock in stun
ned condition, and few Of them ever
knew what happened, in my opin-

POLITICIANS CONTROL BEST JOBS

Chicago, Ills, Dec 3.-More than
helf the public employees in the United
States are in politics and their jobs
are the substructure of the great po-
litical machines. Richard Henry
Of Boston, president of the National
Civil Service League declared here to-
Right in his annual address at the
leagues convention.
The extension of civil service rather
than the protection of places secured
by the system, he explained, is. to be
the immediate work of the league
"The whole civil service of the fed
eraI government" he said, includes
about Ale, 900 persons with an aggre-
gate total salary estimated at $780,
coo, 900 a year. OF this number only
81 per cent is under strict competi-
tive merit system.
add to this, the services of the
cities, counties and states, there is a
grand total of nearly 100000 appoin-
tees with an aggregate annual salary
of $700, 10000 of which the far great
er part is still in politics unprotected
by civil service laws and is used to
build up political machines.
All the better positions, together
with the power of awarding contracts
and advantages, are still available to
the political bosses" he said.

VALUE OF 4 cHILD's GIFTS
Those Made With Their own Hands
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.

It We stop to think about our
Christmas giving we realize that a
gift means more to the giyer than it
does to him who receives. If it is
given in the proper spirit the donor
finds out to the full that it is really
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," fact that is lost sight of in
an age Of the commercial spirit.
With children there is q great edu-
cative value In their present giving
II it is encouraged to be really their
own giving. If the mother, however,
simply prepares some little remem-
brance, and says Mary, this is your
Christmas present to Aunt Ellen" the
gift has no meaning in the thoughts
Of the young giver. And not only
has it no meaning, but it becomes
actually harmful for the reason it pre-
sents the idea to the child that the
gift without the giver is really a gift.
And the child has put no thought or
self sacrifice into the giving of that
present.
On the other hand, If the child be
given pocket money which it may con-
slider its very own, or, better still, if
1t is enabled to earn pocket money and
is then encouraged to set aside por-
ton of its very own money for pres
ent making the idea of true giving is
acquired. The sacrifice, the fore
thought, the love necessary to make a
gift a real gift are there.
The homemade gifts of children
have many valuable lessons to teach
the young givers. Many lessons in
sewing, raff1a, bead-work or painting
may be given under the guise of max
ing gift. In one family, where the
elder sister had never made gifts,
and really never learned to sew well
until she was eighteen years of age,
the younger sister, girl of ten, in
spired by the example of a small
friend, wished to make birthday gifts
for her family. Once she asked her
mother to teach her how to crochet;
another time to scallop, and before
she was twelve years old she had be-
come as proficient little seamstress
as one would want to see
Thus practical lessons are learned,
while the child is inspired with the
idea that Not what we give, but
what we share; the gift without the
giver is bare"

LITTLE GIRLS DRESS
LIKE SMALL BOYS

A letter from London states that
soon it will be difficult to distinguish
small boys from little girls in the
streets. for the latter this winter
adorted trouser-lke suits.
Little girls can be seen wearing
trouser-like cloth knickerbockers
REFER coats and hats that make
them look Gust like brother in
their dress.
On a recent cold day visitor
saw some little girls who wore blue
cloth knickerbockers, hish-legged
boots and blue sailor coats with
brass buttons They looked very
comfortable and bonny and wore
TIE new waterproof sou'wester hats.
'Pantalettes" are an innovation
for both boys and girls, now being
sold in London. They are made
iks tight-ftttne trousers and CATERS
all in one and fl them from the
feet to the waist.
Over these. which are effectively
cut. in clo,h, is worn a jersey and
qreatcOat. so that the boy and
the girl are dressed alike.

THE VALUE OF ONIONS

Many persons imagine that to ex-
press a liking for onions denotes a
vulgar taste, but this much despised
vegetable has many excellent qualit-
les 1t contains q large quantity Fl
heterogeneous matter and uncrystal-
liable sugar with pungent sui
phuric oil. If children We're encour-
aged to eat onions many an illness
might be prevented and many a doe
tors bill saved. If baby has a cold
or seems croupy, frequent doses OF
onion syrup will give wonderful re-
lief. The syrup is obtained by cut
ting the onion into slices and cover
ing each with brown sugar and put
ting one on the top of another in
basin
Roasted onions with sweet oil make
a good poultice for cold in the
chest. In a sick room you cannot
have a bet er disinfectant than the
onion. 1t has a aonderful capacity
for absorbing germs; a dish of slic-
cd onions placed in a sick room
will draw away the disease. They
must be removed as soon as they
lose their odOr and become discolor-
ed and be replaced by fresh ones.
For those who can take them,
raw onion eaten just before retiring
is very beneficial; it acts as
onic to the nervous system, purifies
the blood, helps digestion and very
often prevents insomnia.
