MAKES FOR EFFICIENCY
SYSTEM OF EASTERN RAILROAD
A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.
Prizes, Honor Rolls and Other Marks
of Recognition of Good Work Have
Been Observation-Disclosures of
the Red Spot"

To encourage loyalty among the
employees and to inspire them to see
and live up to their opportunities, the
Erie railroad has installed system of
prizes, honor rolls and other marks of
recognition, and this system has ap-
parently resulted in a revolutionary
improvement in discipline and eff
cheney, according to Popular Mechan-
les. One of the most pronounced
marks of recognition is membership
only locomotive engineers are eligible,
and for which the requirements are
general efficiency in the handling of
the locomotive. An engineer who has
made record emitting him to mem
bership is allowed to have a red spot
painted on the front of his locomotive
as background for the disk carrying
the engine number. AS further rec
ignition of men having the longest
record of competent service one engi-
neer on each division is allowed to
have his name painted in gold letters
on the cab of his, locomotive. The
honor roll, designed for the benefit of
all classes of employees, is system of
credit marks given for special acts of
diligence and observation, as, for ex-
ample, the discovery of broken rail.
These credits do not determine the
advancement of the recipient, but have
weight when any charges are made
against him. Substantial rewards in
money are given for efficiency in main
tanning track. The railroad is divided
into three grand divisions, and these
are subdivided, each subdivision being
in charge of a supervisor At the end
Of each working season an inspection
car goes over the entire system, TAX
ing record of the physical condition
Of the track, and this, combined with
the cost Of maintenance, determines
the award of prizes. On each grand
division prizes are awarded to the two
supervisors making the best record,
while smaller prizes are awarded to
two section foremen on each of the
subdivisions.

Plan Steel FREIGHT Cars.

The Pennsylvania railroad an.
nounces the building of several hun.
dred all steel freight cars for expert
mental use on it's lines. The cars will
cost about fifteen hundred dollars each
and will have capacity of 100000
pounds. The company believes the all
steel freight cars will protect freight
while in transit. Should the expert
ment prove success, the company
plans to substitute the steel for the
wooden cars as fast as the old ones
have to be replaced.

A PLEASING and practical costume
n for the tennis court must Of
necessity be plain. AS a concession
to present modes few models are
shown having short close-ftting tun-
10, but the majority of tennis gowns
are quite plain as to the skirt. In the
matter of the bodice one may choose
between the MILDLY blouse made of a
fabric like the skirt, the plain silk or
lingerie blouse, or waist made in
one with the skirt like that shown
In the picture.
White wash fabrics, including many
Of the new rough weaves in cotton, af-
ford the player wide choice of cot
ton materials. The coarser weaves in
linen are always dependable for the
tennis costume. Ratine has proved its
worth for this kind of gown. Almost
no models Of other than wash fabrics
are shown.

III YPES Of hats for present wear, as
II set forth in the picture shown
here, demonstrate the popularity Of
feathers in August millinery. The
ANAL close-fitting turban, made Of
white feathers with tall outstanding
quilts, is the most fashionable of late
summer models. Hats similar in
shape, and even more close fitting
made of white satin, crepe de chine,
and black velvet, are trimmed with
broad bands of white feathers and
finished in nearly every instance with
tall fancy feathers mounted at the
front. These turbans in white are
the forerunners of feather turbans,
In colors, for early fall.
After the feather turban, all-white
hats of felt or frames covered with
fabric and trimmed with wings have
made for themselves the strongest
place In popular demand.
Wings of all kinds, 80 long as they
are fairly soft, one sees mounted in
as great variety of ways as there
is variety in the wings themselves

white MORE ribbon Is shown in the
picture, with a very effective mount

a pedestrian-an entire stranger-a

did make the most of 1t. The first
thing he said was: Why don't you
use a tire that lasts? They tell me

Water ices are always better and
richer in flavor If the water and sugar
are boiled together to form a strip

Velvet Sherbet.-Take the Juice of
three lemons, two cupfuls OF sugar
and quart Of rich milk. Freeze as
usual
Peach Surprise Cream.-Peel and
put through sieve two quarts of
peaches, add a pound and half Of
sugar cooked with two cupfuls Of wa
ter to make strip. When the strip
is cool add six eggs, the peach pulp
and put all together without beating,
and freeze. The beating Of the cream
will mix the eggs while the freezing

remaining cream and a teaspoonful OF
caramel and almonds, freeze and pack

Cantaloupe Frappe.-Mix well to-
gether three pints Of cantaloupe pulp,
two cupfuls of sugar, and the strained
juice of three lemons. Freeze.
A plain ice cream with hot maple
sauce and chopped nuts makes a
pleasant change.

of water; bring to the boiling point

of ripe grapes, which have been
mashed to a pulp. Let stand one
hour then rub through sieve add

add two eggs, whites well beaten, and

precautions have been taken to guard
the country against it. Surveys have
been made in many sections with the

Electricity Cheaper Than Steam.

In the case of one 440-mile division
Of a railroad, according to a speaker
quoted in the Electrical World, cleo
trio operation offers an estimated saw
ing of rs per cent over the cost of
steam. Where direct current is en-
ployed for identification a large por-
ton of the installation investment is
in feeder copper and conversion ap-
paratus, and smaller proportion in
locomotives. On the other hand where
alternating current is employed the
stationary equipment is less compli-
Gated and less expensive than the di-
rect-current station apparatus, but the
locomotive electrical equipment be-
comes more elaborate.

WITHOUT APOLOGY.n

Ed Hamilton, an eighteen year-old ne
gro, was taken from the Caddo Parish Jail
in Shreveport at 80 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon for brutal assault on an eleven
year-old white girl, an orphan. The men
who hung the brute did praiseworthy act,
and they deserve the thanks of the whole
country for their prompt and determined
action. The man, white or black, who as
sauits white woman, when apprehended
and identified, should be put to death with
out ceremony. The Caucasian expresses
our sentiments on this subject in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Gin all such cases the only imperative
requirement is the identity of the criminal,
and when it is established positively, as in
this instance, the swiftest punishment
should be melted without apology. There
may be the few who would express their
condemnation of such proceedings as un-
lawful, but those few may be impressed
with the consideration that such brutes are
entitled to no more regard than would be
given a rattlesnake or man-eating tiger

Herman Ahlwardt died at Berlin, Ger
many, recently, from the effects of an
accident which befell him few days be-
fore at Leipsic. Thus ended the career of
a man of more than ordinary ability, who
had dedicated his talents to wicked war
fare against the Jews. The best years of
his life were spent in trying to create a
strong political movement in Germany
based on hatred of Jews. To his disgust
he found that antisemitism was steadily
declining force in Germany. He then came
to America, and made tour, lecturing,
mounting venom and hatred against all
Hebrews; but his campaign was a dismal
failure, which only embittered him the more.
Finding his anti-Jew occupation gone,
Ahlwardt began to vent his spleen against

but he made no Roadway. Death found
