P. R. R. WILL NOT
CLOSE GREENWICH
CREOSOTE PLANT
Other Railroads Forced to
Such Action Because of
War, but Pennsy Has
Years Supply of Oil.

Despite the fact that importations of
creosote oil, used by the railroads in creo-
soting ties, have been almost entirely cut
on by the European war, causing the
plants of several railroads in the Middle
West to close down, the Pennsylvania
Railroad announced today that the com
pany has enough of this kind of oil to
treat all the ties 1t needs.
A week before the war began, the
Pennsylvania Railroad received ship
load of the oil from Germany, from
which country the best brand is obtained.
This was divided between the company's
two creosoting plants one at Greenwich
Point and the other at Mount Union,
Pa. When this supply of oil is exhausted
the company will use the domestic
product. The company has large supply
OF ties on hand at both plants, which
is now ready for treatment.
1t was announced today that the creo-
sotng plant of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad, at West Denison, Tex,
had been closed because the company's
principal sources of supply of oil, Ger
many and England had been cut off.

VIII DC Slnply EnormouS.'
Restoration of peace in Europe will be
followed by a big demand for American
manufactures, especially machinery, ac-
cording to an opinion expressed In a
cablegram received here today from
FRANKLIN Johnston, publisher of the
American Exporter. The message, which
was dated Paris, September II, appar-
entity was delayed in transmission 1t
read as follows.
Business conditions here are remark
ably good, considering all the circum-
stances, and are improving day by day.
There has been an especially marked inn
provement this week. All shipping routes
from France are open. Considerable
manufacturing is still going on and ex-
ports of the specialties and luxuries which
are typically French continue good.
The future demand In France for
American machinery and manufactured
goods of all sorts will be simply
enormous"

Height of the Panama Canal.

The middle section of the Panama
canal, thirty-four miles long, has wa
ter level Of eighty-fve feet higher than
the two end sections, which are sea
levels. Vessels entering the canal from
the ocean on either side are lifted to
the middle section, height of eighty
five feet, by three sets of locks, each
of which raises the vessel fraction
over twenty-eight feet making total
of eighty-fve feet These locks are
constructed side by side like double
track railway, SO that one ship may be
going up while the other is going down.
Only one ship can be in a lock at the
same time, but as the locks are con-
structed In pairs, side by side, two
ships going in opposite directions, one
going up the incline and the other go
ing down, may pass each other within
hailing distance. Vessels are towed
through the locks by electric ma
hinery.-Philadelp Press.

full of hurrying crowds streaming
northward After an hour she led her
aunt downstairs for cup of coffee.

She ran through to the front and
tore open the doors to gaze out.
She ran down the step and seized
the arm of an old man. The girl saw
that he wore faded blue coat with
a little bronze button in its lapel
She chung to him and painted a ques-
ton: "What has happened? Why
have they quit firing? Oh, you're an

nearly all the exact reverse of our own.

EXERCISE AND EATING.
Remember That Tired Stomach Is a
Weak Stomach.


A good dinner at night is necessary
for those whose pleasure or work
keeps them up very late. But for or
binary folk. who dine at 6 or and go
to bed about 1920, only a light, whole
some repast should be taken at the
end of the day, when muscles or nerves
are more or less exhausted, says a
physician.
A ''tired stomach is a weak stom-
ach" is a golden rule to remember.
Yet how often one hears people say:
1--WE been rushing about all day, and
am tired to death. | must have a big
meal to make up for itv' You may put
the big meal into the stomach, but you
cannot make the stomach digest it.
A belief lives strong in the hearts
and minds Of the majority of man
kind, including persons of weak diges-
ton, that quick brisk walk taken
before meal gets up an appetite and
helps the stomach digest the food.
Now, this is exactly what it doesn't
do. Exercise spreads the blood through
the body. The old fashioned midday
dinner is not bad tning.-Washing
ton Star.
