When you keep a boy interested IN
football, baseball, tennis, and the like,
you lessen the chances that he will
get interested in things not SO good
for him.
The Youths Companion, since It's

this matter of athletic training, and
gets the best coaches in the country
to write for it.
How to practice to become a first
rate pitcher, how to train for a race,
how to learn the newest strokes in
Swinming-these and hundred
other topics of the greatest interest
to boys-to girls, too, for that matter
ARE touched upon in this important
department of The Companion.
And this is only small part of the
service which The Companion rem.

r. w. Stevens Testifies Before Com
merce Commission Regarding
c., n. G. D. Purchase.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Financial af-
fairs of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton railroad, now in the hands of
a receiver for the second time since
1905, were related at length before
Commissioner Hall of the interstate
commerce commission by FreCTIick
Stevens, formerly an official of that
line and the Pere Marquette, whose al
fairs are interviewer with those of
the former system.
Mr.. Stevens appeared as an asso-
ciate of J. P. Morgan & Co. The bur-
den of his testimony was a statement
that when the late ]. P. Morgan
bought the controlling interest Of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton for
the Erie in 1905, he had no knowledge
of the financial results of the preced-
ing year to the road. During that
year Mr.. Stevens said, under the adj
ministration of Eugene Zimmerman of
Cincinnati, syndicate controlled the
road and contracted debts of nearly
$25 100000.
The net result to Mr.. Morgan in the
entire transaction, the witness de-
clared, was an expenditure of more
than $4,000 900, for which the firm
now had to show 10000 shares of the
Pere Marquette, "of doubtful, if any,
value and loss of $685. 21 on por-

DECISION AIDS ROADS
RAIL HEADS PLEASED BY CON-
MERGE BODY'S RULING.
Rate Increase Will Relieve Distress
of Firms by Making Up Deficit
in Their Earnings.

New York, Dec. 21.-That railroads
would be substantially aided by the
increased freight rates granted by the
interstate commerce commission was
the opinion generally expressed by
railroad officials in statements made
public here. President L. f. Loree
of the Delaware & Hudson said that
the rate increase will relieve the dis
tress of the railroads by making up a
deficit in their earnings. He did not
believe, however, that it would give
the roads any additional purchasing
power
President A. H. Smith of the New
York Central lines and Howard FL
lott, president of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford, expressed the
opinion that the commission in grant
ing the rate increase had recognized
the needs of the railroads and the
necessity of increasing rates.
in it's broad scope the increase
granted shows, in my opinion" said
George F. Brownell, vice-president
and general solicitor of the Erie, that
the interstate commerce commission
had realized that the relief which the
commission previously thought could
be gained from other measures than
increased freight traffic had been
made impossible by the results of the
war and existing conditions"
Several bankers, brokers and men
whose interests are allied with the
railroads saw in the decision a senti-
mental benefit and factor in main
tanning the confidence of investors
and business men.

Mr.. Zimmerman was born in Vicks-
burg, Miss, in 1915. He was exec
utive officer of the steamship Qua

time of his death he was probably

LIGHTNING Baked BY ROPE
Saves Cows Life After Bolt Had Melt

Animal.

Lentsville, N. C.-Lightning perpe-
trated quite an unusual freak here
during the electrical storm. Harden
Evans had a cow tied with a chain
which had been heightened with a
piece of rope some three feet In
length and this piece of rope was
fixed to the halter.
The lightning struck the post to
which the chain was tied, completely
shattering it, and followed the chain
down to where the rope was fixed.
The chain links were melted into a
sold mass and could easily be broken
apart with the hand
The rope being attached is the only
reason the COW escaped being killed
instantly.
