lnaugurated by the Retail Grocers and Butchers association of Atlanta, Ga. and encouraged by the leading civic societies, the movement to make holiday during the summer season has reached remarkable proportions. This year more than thousand dealers, including nearly all the grocers and butchers as well as a number of other retailers, have adopted the custom of closing Wednesday afternoons. It is estimated that some 1000 employees will thus be given & midweek outing through the most trying months of the year.

 Rescuers.

 Brave Theodore Pruning III died on a recent morning after a severe ilL ness from typhoid malaria. The Brun- ings, father. son and grandson, all with the same name, Theodore, and another son, John C Pruning, have been the heroic lifesavers in Lake Ponchartrain for years The sons and the grandson were born on the shores of the turbulent little lake that on slight provocation becomes an angry and dangerous sea and hurls those who venture it madly against the shores and swallows them into it's depths.
 By their bravery and skill they have thwarted the angry waters and snatched from their fury more than a hundred persons. Just how many is not known. because the Brunings new CT considered | enything marc thar their ordinary work to pick up per sons from boats in danger or rescue those clinging to upturned sailboats and skiffs. or to billings and other refuges, where they hung in danger of falling exhausted into the water. John Pruning said that he believed about 125 persons had been rescued by the members of the family
 Theodore Pruning III was young boy, but had two rescues to his credit February 2. 1914, Fred c. Ford. F. Cod man Ford and Luther Sinclair started on hunting trip to Nine-Mile Point in a skiff. A squall struck the boat and threw it against the piling. AS the boat sank the boys sprang to the pill ings. Albert Werner, who is related to the Brunings, saw the boys cling ing exhausted to the billings and gave the alarm. Theodore and his father hurried to the rescue and were just in time to save them. Young Ford and Sinclair were in the hospital five days before recovering The other rescue in which Theodore III took part was that of three men recently saved. but whose names are not known by the Brunings.-New Or. leans Times Picayune.

For a great many years doctors pro aounced it local disease and prescrib- ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease. and therefore requires consti- tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.

HERE'S TRUE FRIEND OF BOYS
Unnamed Man of Ohio City Has Plan to Eliminate Risks of the Swim
 ming Hole.

Unfortunately, an occasional tragedy marks the history of q swimming hole. Water deep enough to swim in com fortably is also deep enough to drown. Nor are natural swimming places, in creek or river, always as nicely graded as to depth as the rich mans artificial pool when ones in he is likely to be clear in, perhaps over his head
 This has been usually considered a necessary drawback in swimming holes. \ lad was supposed to take the risks ordinarily incident to the game of learning to swim. Like football, it had its dangers, but it's rewards were esteemed sufficient to justify.
 It has remained for a philanthropic but unnamed man of Dayton to take the risk out of swimming holes; that is, all extraordinary risk. He proposes to equip the swimming holes of Day. ton with life saving apparatus and Dayton, being & river town-as read CTS of flood news some months ago Will remember-there must be good many such holes and good deal of such equipment needed.
 Boxes are to be placed along the river in conspicuous places containing articles for the rescue and resuscita- ton of people in danger of drowning. Each box is to have a life preserver of the jacket type for the use of persons unable to swim who wish to help an- other struggling in the water. a ring life buoy to be thrown to one in the w&Lsr. ropes, printed instructions for reviying the drowning and other para phenalia of like use.
 So wise a friend of boyhood ought not to insist on anonymity. He should have a statue somewhere. preferably on site overlooking the best swim ming hole the Big Miami affords Cleveland Plain Dealer.

NEW YORK WILL WORK
 CONNECTS ON ROADS

New York will put It's prisoners TO work making brick to use in the con
 struction of state roads" said Gov. Mar
 tin Glynn to the great meeting at Carne- gie Hall. New York; where the prison la bor problem was being agitated. In this way l will stop the grating contractors from cheating the state and the grating politicians from sandbagging the contrae-
 tors. I grateful to our friend Gov
 ernor West of oregon for coming so far to point out to us here in New York this
 practical proposition"
 Gov. Oswald West made hit before the fashionable audience of New York's best.
 The woman's department of the National
 Civic Federation through the good aus
 pices of the national committee on prison
 labor, has become enthusiastically inter
 ested in the problem of the convict, and
 headed by Miss Maude Wetmore. Miss
 Anne Morgan and Mrs. August Belmont,
 gave a rousing reception to the young
 western governor and the other penal
 performers
 The movement of the women will find
 it's definite form in the development of
 broad educational campaign for prac-
 tical and definite reforms by the national committee on prison labor and it Is ex
 pected that the leading women throughout
 the country will follow the lead of the New York women.
 Governor West told how organized la Dor had encouraged him Tn ms work or prison reform and had passed resolutions urging the brick making by convcts,
 while John Manning, editor of the Gar ment Worker contended that organized
 labor had been the real prison reforiners for 50 years and would back to success
 the work of the national committee on prison labor with its broad national plat form of penal reform if 1t took another
 50 years. Manning challenged the grating
 pirson contractors and warned the women to beware of the chicanery of a shirt firm with prison contracts which hides under the name of fake philanthropy
 known as the National Free Labor asso- citation. The union mans appeal brought a proffer to help for the national commit tee on prison labors programme from the governors of New York and Oregon and the Civic Federation passed unani-
 mously resolutions of support and CO.,

HATFIELD TROPHY FOR
 INDIANAPOLIS VICTOR

Undoubtedly the most practical. as well as the most beautiful of all trophies, hung up to be battled for by the speed kings on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Is the Rayfield Carburetor Trophy, which will be presented to the winning driver in order that he may receive prize not only valuable, but useful
 The Rayfield trophy is a massive bowl of solid sterling silver gold lined and made from an original design. It stands r inches high, is 16 inches in diameter and 20 inches wide from handle to handle. Around the top of the bowl is beauti- fully arranged border, divided into four parts; two panels forming the iron. and back illustrate the speedway, and show racing cars going at full speed, all of which is cleverly hand wrought
 This trophy is valued at 5000 and is of fered as a prize for drivers of Rayfeld equipped cars The deed of gift stipulates that in order to become the permanent possessor of the prize it must be won twice by the same driver in any car equipped with a Rayfield carburetor.
 In addition to their magnificent trophy. Findeisen & Kropf Manufacturing Co. of Chicago will present $1000 in gold to the winner of the 1914 500-mile International Sweepstake race provided his car is equipped with their carburetor.
 If is not necessary for driver to win first in order to share in Rayheld prizes. The driver in car equipped with q Ray field carburetor taking second place will receive $500 in gold and $2oo will go to the driver finishing third. under the same con- ditions.
 Racing drivers are always interested in the announcement of prizes offered by this company. because, judging from past performances they know that they have good chance to win with Rayheld carburetor. and although the sl5o0 in gold e alluring. the real interest centerz

 Not until our railroads provide proper methods of recruiting for all departments. and adequate methods of training these recruits, and not then until the organ izations are prepared for retaining com- potent, able and ambitious young men, will the railroads begin to climb out of the personnel difficulties Into which they are now submerged.

APPRENTICES ARE
 BEING FORGOTTEN

English motive power railroad men do not quit as ours do to double their sala- ries in the service of industrial concerns. in positions where they are not worried to death by troubles that they know how to prevent but are not allowed to guard against. observes writer in the Amori- can Machinist. On the larger English railroads the chief mechanical officers re- ceive salaries approximately twice as large as the largest in this country.
 "on some English roads the chief me- ohanical superintendents deal not with of ficers who do not understand them and their problems, but with committees of the directors of the roads. No wonder those mechanical officials remain In the service until relieved upon retirement. No wonder subordinate officials are willing to spend their lives hoping to succeed to such positions.
 Apprenticeship has made good where 1t has had half a chance, and it has had a chance on a few progressive railroads.

test officially under the auspices of the Automobile Club of America or the A. A. A.
 Placed on the dynamometer stand on Tuesday, the motor was put in opera ton at D. m, and ran continuously until the following Monday morning. When stopped at a. m. on Monday, the motor had run sO7 hours or an equivalent of 7675 miles. During this period the mo- tor was subjected to a load of 10 horse power, and operated at speed of loe0 R. P M. Expressed In terms more intel libble to the layman, this would pull the car with it's full load of five passengers at 25 miles per hour for 9o7 hours.
 For the first three days of the test the only adjustment needed was the replace- ment of two spark plugs. On the third day the gasoline line became clogged and the motor was kept running for several hours by hand feeding of gasoline into the carburetor. The gasoline pipe was taken down. cleaned and replaced, but again clogged after 12 hours running, due to impurities in the fuel. This time the cleaning of the pipe was effected in five minutes times without affecting the read ings. On Saturady another spark plug was replaced, and from then until Monday morning no further adjustments were nec- essary.
 "Following the long run, Chief Engineer Benner had the motor taken down. for examination. Despite the fact that the motor had been run longer than an av- craze year in the service of an owner, the wear was imperceptibe. Tool marks still showed in the cylinders and the greatest actual wear amounted to seven ten-thousandths Connecting rod bearings were in perfect shape, showing absolutely no wear, and this condition held true Of the push rods and main bearings. One of the best indications of the slight wear that took place in the moving parts was the fact that more horse power was ob- tained at the close of the run than ct the start.
 Tn his final report on the test. MT Ben ner says This trial has proven to my complete satisfaction that the motor of flow horse power rating, if properly lu- bricated, will stand up as we'll as any mo- tor on the market and, 1 believe. produce more horse power per pound. The exam ination shows no part of the motor which could be bettered by replacement and the test could undoubtedly have been pro- longed to twice the length of time sched- uled without any major adjustments

''rhe Standard roadster is a car which should appeal to all but especially to doctors who have to be out day and night at a moments notice.
