USES FOOT BALL TERMS
AND REVEALS SIGNALS
Team Work Of President and Po-
litical Aids Described by Rep
resentative Gillett.

The lineup of the democratic foot
ball team was announced in the House
of Representatives yesterday. and team
signals were exposed by Represent
ative Gillett of Massachusetts,. ranking
republican on the appropriations COM
mittee. Representative Gillett, after
naming the men who would play CEN
ter. halfback and ends for the demo-
Gratis. said that the team's mass play
signal was not a combination of fig
ures, such as other foot ball elevens
use, but that the ball was snapped for
the grand final lunge to the goal after
'the four gladdening letters pork"
Calls It Magic Slogan.
Said Mr.. GilIett:
With that incentive and inspiration
the team would put forth its extreme
efforts AS long as the intoxication of
that magic slogan lasts who could
withstand it's onslaught
The foot ball metaphor was the result
OF the Presidents mention of team
work in the Indianapolis speech.
Speaking of the lineup, Represent
ative Gillett said the President would
be captain and quarterback, to give
orders on the field.
The end men," continued Mr. Gill
lett. "is so appropriate a term for those
promoters of national merriment.
Secretary Bryan and Secretary Daniels.
He would doubtless select the stalwart
form of Representative Underwood,
chairman OF the ways and means COM
mittee. as the center. whose duty 1t is
to pass the ball to the quarterback,
having first received from him exact
and explicit orders. For tackles he
would probably select Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the Senate finance
committee, and Representative Fitz-
gerald, chairman of the House com
mitt on appropriations, both wiry
athletes.
When It Comes to Kicking
When any kicking was to be done
Fitzgerald would have pre-eminent
qualifications. For halfbacks to carry
the ball the President would probably
select those two dispensers of patron
age, Postmaster General Burleson and
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury. He
could be certain that no member of
the team would ever lose sight of them,
but would follow them unfalteringly
to the goal 1t is a question as to
whose tactics would be most successful
in advancing the ball, the elusive, SIN
uous and artful dodging of the Secre
tary of the Treasury or the mad, head
long rushes of the Postmaster Gen
eral
Each could be sure Of the teams
loyal support until the last office is
distributed

B. & q. Railroaders
Demonstrate Striking
Efficiency Increases

Remarkable advances in productive
efficiency were made by the engineers
hremen' and other employees of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad during the
past year. A corresponding gain was
obtained by the company in lower
labor costs, or in a smaller outlay in
wages for the amount of traffic han
died. These facts are shown by the
annual report of this railroad for
1915, which has just been filed at
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
BY increasing its freight train load
from 619 to 693 revenue-productn
tons, the Baltimore and Ohio was en-
abled to haul decrease in freight
traffic of only 8 per cent. with s per
cent. less locomotive miles and IA per
cent. less freight train miles. This
reduction in locomotive and train
ments to engineers and f1remen more
made it possible to reduce wage pay
mentS to engineers and remen more
than $1,40O,O00, or 10 per cent. The
total saving in OUTLAWS to all classes
of employees was more than $6,50O,O00
or IA per Neent. in 1915 as compared
with 1914. The reduction made in
labor costs was also considerably more
than the savings on other items of ex-
penditure, total transportation ex-
penses declined only II per cent. In
addition to the savings made in la
Dor and other costs of operation, a
gros revenue gain, because of heav-
Ter train loads, of 20 cents was made
for every freight-train mile operated.

seemed that the rays of these search
lights spread out like a great fan
with the exposition in the foreground.
Twenty-four of these light projectors
have been sold to the Russian govern
ment
The idea carried out in the gen
eral scheme of the palaces was the
evolution of architecture from the
Grecian period to modern times. Ro-
man, Moorish, Spanish, italian and
French Renaissance ideas were por-
trayed in the lines of the various
buildings
The most imposing building of all in
the belief of almost all visitors was
the Palace of Fine Arts. San Fran
cisco some weeks ago inaugurated
movement to preserve it as monu-
ment to the Exposition. To accom-
plish this it will be necessary to get
the permission of ~the United States
government, as the palace stands on
the Preside military reservation.
According to the Exposition man
agement there were about 200 diff
.ferent exhibitors, the exhibits being
valued at approximately $3.50, 100000.
The total cost of the Exposition, In
round numbers, was $500 900. This
includes requirement of site, construc-
ton, administration, maintenance, re-
pairs and final removal of the build
ings.
Thirty-nine foreign nations and
nearly all of the states of the Union
participated officially. Notwithstand-
ing the war, several of the belligerents
took part including France, Italy, ia
pan and Turkey. The other bellige-
rents were represented by exhibits
made by their citizens.
During the life of the Exposition
more than 500 congresses and con-
MENTIONS were held. in San Francisco
and the bay cities. These were meet
ings of national and international or
CARNATIONS representing social, po1tti-
cal, fraternal, industrial, economic, re-
ltg1ous, medical, agricultural, scien-
tffic and various other associations.
Notable persons from all over the
world were among the Exposition's
visitors. Some of these were William
Howard Taft, Theodore Roosevelt,
Vice President Marshall, William ].
Bryan, William G. McAdoo, Secretary.
of the Treasury, Speaker Champ
Clark, Joseph G. Cannon, the Marquis
and Marchfoness of Aberdeen, Major
