gifts are largely of a substantial sort,
and these include outfits from things
for a new born infant to full winter
kits for boys and girls in their teens.
Some of the donors set forth their
list of gifts in typewriter sheets post

enough to be satisfactory.

The avalanche of gifts coming in
from every part of the United States
by rail and water made Mr.. Bush's
offer of storage space in the Bush
Terminal not only timely but came
as a solution of a situation that might
have ended in chaos. The Bush Ter
minal with its empire-like grasp on
all shipping problems, has the facil-
titles to receive, store and transmit
these gifts with a minimum of con-
fusion. Here is a closely knit indus
trial community that covers 200 acres
in South Brooklyn, in direct and i'm
mediate touch with all the great rail-
road systems and with docking facil-
tiles for AZ lines at one and the same
time. The Bush Terminal has its own
postmaster, yard master, its own rail-

that a warehouse. pier and all the
great facilities of the Bush Terminal,

rooms Mr.. Bush has offered and every
day the available space in those great
rooms grows smaller.
Picture to yourself two great sun
bathed rooms in n gray white building
of concrete and steel. Between white
columns rise the Red Cross supplies
and Christmas gifts.
A great deal of love and not a little
heartache has gone into the making of
these packages. Very often there is
a message on the wrapper. Edna May
Hertich, of Shelbyville, Ia, wrote this
on her package:
For a little German girl in Saxony."
There is no clue as to what Edna
May is sending TO that little Saxon
girl, and strictly speaking, it is none
of our business.

Scores and scores of packages speci-
fy on the outside that the gifts within
are to go to a Belgian boy or girl. The
plight of the kingdom that served as a
threshold for the most efficient of
wars has seemingly tuoched the great

Another gift bears the childish
scrawl:
ITO Belgian boy or girl who have

boy from German boy, six years old"

CUM CHE WING AND
CICARETS BARRED
Burlington Road Issues Drastic
Order Affecting Male and
Female Employees.
OBJECT Is TO SAVE TIME
Claimed That Loss to Company From
These Habits Runs Into Thou
sands of Dollars.

An order has been issued by the
Burlington railway to the effect that
its office employees must eschew the
cigar and cigaret during Office hours.
Incidentally, the order carries with it a
most drastic ruling against the prac-
tice of female employees. They must
not chew gum. The main object Of
this order is said to be a conservation
of time. For instance, a cigaret smok-
er. if he be permitted to smoke during
Office hours. will puff from 10 to Is
cigarets a day. Strike an average and
call It IL. Chances are that he uses
"nfakings." In that event the rolling
of a cigaret, including the time used in
opening and closing the tobacco sack
and lighting the match, will approx
mate one minute for the average smok-
This granted, the railroad submits
another hypothesis. The cigaret
smoker will slip the cigaret in and
out of his mouth as many as Is times
before it is fully consumed. Then he
must dispose Of the "snipe." The time
wasted in the consumption and dis
posal of a cigaret is estimated at two
minutes. Thus three minutes are re-
quired to handle a single cigaret be-
tween the time the tobacco bag is ex-
tracted and the point where the butt"
is discarded.
Runs Into Big Totals.
Twelve cigarets a day would foot
up one mans waste to SO minutes.
The average wage of a Burlington Of
fee employee is $3.50 for a day Of 10
hours. BY close figuring the result is
reached that the average cigaret smok-
ing employee of the Burlington con-
sumes SO minutes, or 10 cents, of the
company's time every day he works.
Estimating the total number of office
employees at 5000, 1t is shown that the
office employees of the Burlington
waste 5000 hours a day in cigaret
smoking. At 25 cents an hour the
value of this wasted time is shown to
be $3.50 a day. In a year S272,15O
worth of the Burlington's compensated
time goes up in cigaret smoke, accosd-
ing to the figures.
Meeting the objection that little
more than half of the office en-
ployes use cigarets, figures also are
produced to show that the percentage
of those who chew gum or smoke Gig |
ars or waste time in these practices
more than Offset the difference.
