Carriers Brief

The brief submitted by the general
counsel of the carriers says:
'iThe railroads are still required to
sell their services at rates even less
than those established years ago. after
competition had forced them to a low
level, and to take their pay in depre-
ciated currency, while they must buy
their labor. buy their materials, bor-
row their capital and pay their taxes
on the basis Of present day commodity
prices"
After presenting in detail the situa-
ton as relating to different roads or
groups Of roads, the conclusions of the
carriers are thus set forth:

in the return ON the money which
has gone into the transportation plant

The Man on Time

The man invaluable everywhere is the one who can always be relied upon as being on the job, says the Fl Paso Times.
 Close upon the fault of coming late treads the blemish of procrastination. and that habit once firmly fixed in the character prevents financial or any oth- CT sort of worthy success. Looseness in the matter of being late "dolng" your employer out of time. which is money, is really robbery of your employer.
 The excuse for coming late demands an explanation, and often requires de- ception. A straightforward business man is always afraid of the man with excuses, and when the chance for pro- motion comes the late MT. Blank is likely to be forgotten and the punctual man has the call.
 Beware of the man who is always behind time. Start soon enough. Take the tide at the flood by being in time. Be ready by promptness to open the door when fate knocks. Caesars delay to read message cost him his life when he reached the senate house.

 To the man always and really on the job time cuts no figure save to mark the period during which there must be achievement. Hours melt into days and days fade into weeks without break into his schedule. Always there is be- fore him the things that are to be done, and they are done with cheerfulness and alacrity. He studies no interest save that of the business with which he is connected and work has no terror for him. Cool-headed and charged with dynamite energy, he pushes 1t along and never loses his head or his temper.
 Such men are invaluable in every business. and while in some instances merit may not be quickly recognized, the man who is always and really on the job seldom fails in the end to win the recognition to which he is entitled.

EXPERIENCE OF A
 GERMAN OFFICER Terrible Four Hours Spent Under Fire From
 Three Sides

Paris. November 21.--(Special)- )-Horri- bie experiences have been common III the fighting around Lille. Here is an ex- tract from letter written by German officer, Capt Oskar Hoeclser:
 ''We had orders to attack French terri torials. At dawn and with relish we started along the Lille road French aviator signaled our operations, and of thunder, how that road was bombarded! Like ninepins we flopped down and sought shelter from the storm. It would have been sheer suicide to do anything else.
 After a pause our major led us on, but our batteries could not protct us. We crept 60 yards, perhaps 1oos The enemy s quick-firers were murderous and we hadn't a notion where we were going. Al last we caught sight of the red panta- looms.

Telegraphy and Ancient Art

That there was telegraphlc communica- ton long before the Norman conquest is insisted on by a writer in the London Daily News and Leader, who declares that 1t existed even before Julius Caesar came to England. People who imagine that telegraphing necessarily means com municating by means of electricity will not accept that statement, he says, but there was plenty of telegraphing long be- fore the use of electricity. just as there was writing before the introduction of fountain pens.
 The word telegraph is generally sup- posed to come from the two Greek words "tele," afar or distant, and "grapho." I write. I say this is general ly supposed to be the origin of the word, but there are some who maintain that 1t comes from ''telos," the end, and 'grapho," because 1t answers tho end of wpiting by signals. We may dismiss that as pedanuo and silly. It 10 the fact. however. that tho phrase ''by telegraph will be found in old newspapers and at the top of official messages 1when tho news vas conveyed by semaphofe signals.

Unkind Fate Got Him Fined

From the Kansas City Times.
 The city says Joseph Layman owes it 8 on taxes on dogs.
 What dogs?" says M. Layman.
 Four dogs that live at Mr. Layman' s place, So9 East Twelfth street, says the city.
 Guess again, says MT. Layman. Those dogs don't belong to him. They came there uninvited ,and upon their going there is no restraint. They followed him home. It isn't his fault that dogs follow him. Dogs just naturally like him. He can't walk along the street without some stray dog coming up to him wagging it's tail He kicks at them, throws stones at them No use. They just fwag their tails the more and trot along behind him till he gets home. Then they send out word to all their friends that they live there and their friends come and call on them They come to spend an afternoon and stay forever.
 If they live there they are your dogs" Judge Kennedy ruled in the Northside municipal court this morning. 'fYou owe 8 for license fees. You can pay that or a $10 fine''
 'I'll pay the $10 fine," said Mr. Layman.

AN OLD RECIPE ID DARkEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends .dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays, we simply ask at any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this old. famous recipe. because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as 1t does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two your hair be- comes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

conveying intelligence

of conveying intelligence by gestures and visible signals, as flags, lanterns, rockets bluelights, beacon fires, etc., or by audible signals, as the firing of guns, the blowing of trumpets and the beating of drums or gongs.
 If We accept this definition I suppose there can be no doubt that the oldest method of communicating in this way is the beacon fire. 1t is mentioned py Jeremiah in the passage: Set up sign of fire fin Beth-haccerem; for evil ap- peareth out of the north, and great de- struction." And Aeschylus has given fine description of how the news of the fall of Troy was communicated by line of fire signals. So, as 1 have said. war news was telegraphed long before the days of Julius Caesar.
