If the railroad men win their con
tention for an eight hour day whicf
is now being agitated Moberly vii
lose the Wabash division point say,
the Columbia Times.
This is the opinion of number Of
engineers and fremen in the employ
ment of the road. The following
reason is given for the removal of the
division headquarters from Npberly
and the establishment of new divis-
ions at Mexico and Brunswick: Mo
berry is too far from Kansas City
and st. Louis for freight crews to
make the run from tho cities in eight
hours. st. Louis can make Mexico
and Kansas City can make Bruins
wick; hence il an eight hour sched-
ule is put on its means of necessity
that the division headquarters must
be removed from Moberly.
This question has not been dis
cussed outside Of union headquarters
but those that are informed in rail-
road circles declare that the eight
hour day is coming.

SAY CHAIRS MAKE DISEASE.
So The 0steopaths VIII Devise A Cor
rect Thing To Sit On.

Upon chairs, the shape Of them, the
Kansas and Missouri Osteopathic as
sociations in convention at Kansas
City recently placed the blame for
half of the diseases, including tuber-
culosis, to which flesh is heir. That
being the case, they decided to design
chair that should be comfortable and
slightly and at the same time hygen-
ically correct.
DR.. S. W. Longan of Kansas City,
one of the harshest critics Of the or
dinary form of chairs, was appointed
a committee of one to take counsel
with others as to the details of the os-
teopathic chair.
The much used piece of furniture
was "put on the carpet" before the
convention following the paper by
DR.. Ethel Louise Burner of Blooming
ton, Ill. She spoke of incorrect pos
lures.
"There isn't chair in this room,
but what should be smashed into
kindline wood" Doctor Longan said
He proceeded to describe a perfect
chair.
Other doctors agreed
"We should have cushions in the
school seats as well as on the street
car seats" one said. "If man had
to ride downtown each morning oil
the seats his boy sits on all day IN
school, there would be loud demand
for improved seats in the school,
In the end it was decided to devise
a perfect chair.

: CAN DEPOSIT BY MAIL.

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open All
account in postal savings bank after
July LIST, according to an instructive
leafiet on the Postal Savings System
just issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important extension
of the service win be made possible
by permitting persons living in COM
munities so sparsely settled as not to
justify the designation Of their local
post Offices as regular postal savings,
banks to open accounts by mail.
Governor Dockery, Third Assistant
Postmaster General, who has direct
supervision of postal savings, was 50
impressed by appeals from all over
the country to open savings accounts
by mail that he took up the task some
weeks ago of working out a feasible
and safe method for meeting a de-
mand well illustrated in letter from
a Saline County, Missourian, who re-
sides many miles from postal saw
ings bank.
Having a few hundred dollars saw
ed from fifty years Of hard and assid-
uous labor and skimping economy on
the part of my wife and myself, we
concluded TO deposit it in the Postal

to the postmaster at that place and
received reply to the effect that none
but patrons Of that Office could de-
posit in that Office which is very dis.
appointing news to us. Our little farm
is not large enough to support us and
land is so high that it is impossible
for us to buy more with what little we
have saved and we are so old that we
can't labor much now and we would
be so glad to lay by at least enough
to put US away in decency."
Under the plan adopted by the Post
master General for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositor, resid-
ing where there is no regular desig-
mated postal savings bank, will apply
to his local postmaster who will see
that necessary Identification data is
prepared and forwarded to a nearby
post office authorized to accept depos
its. The intending depositor will then
be given permission to forward his
first and subsequent deposits by money
order or registered mail direct to the
postmaster at the banking point for
which receipts or certificates will be
issued. He may withdraw all or
any part of his postal savings by mail
and on demand together with any in
terest that may be due him.
The new leafiet points out that any
person ten years old or over may open
an account in his or her own name;
that an account may be opened by a
married woman free from any control
or interference by her husband; that
post office officials are forbidden to
disclose to any person, except the de-
positor, the amount of any deposits;
that Withdrawals may be made with
out previous notice; and that the Gov
ernment guarantees to repay all de-
posits on demand with accrued inter
est.

NO COMFORTS ON SUBMARINE.

New York-Fiye strange, black
looking craft, with fishy bodies are
moored to a float at One Hundred and
Thirty-fifty Street and the Hudson
River. By their side is vessel that
looks like a cross between a battle
ship and a pigsty. These are sub
marines and the pigsty battle ship
is the submarine tender. And since
one of these machines of war sent
the Lusitania to the bottom of the
sea they are attracting more atten-
ton than the sixty odd battle ships
that are lined up for review. These
five little things are hideous, grew
come, ugly. as sin and as leaden
black as death. They have just made
record trip from Key West, coming
the 1900 miles in five days. Accord
ing to one of the officers of these
cigar shaped steel boxes, they are
Just as unpleasant inside as outside.
Every minute the men are in the sub
marine means the-risk Of pneumonia
and tuberculosis.
"The entire inside Of the boat
sweats like a pitcher of ice water on
a hot day." said the officer. Before
we are on it three hours our clothes
are soaked and they stay that way.
We have absolutely no heat which
means that the boat is the tempera-
ture of the outside air Sometimes we
nearly freeze. The doctors say that
the men on a submarine never sleep;
they merely become unconscious for
brief intervals. The air, the odors
from the machinery, the constant vi
bration and the intense strain un-
der which you labor make sleep an
impossibility.
In a storm, when we have to seal
up, the air gets worse than anything
you can imagine. There are eighteen
men and two officers IN one of our
boats and at any moment any one of
the twenty may cause the death Of
all the rest. There is no room for
u
p,istakes. The space in which the
men live is fifty feet long and about
ten feet wide. l can stand upright
il l pick my place, but most Of the
time my shoulders are, bent. There
are no hunks; we all spread our mat
tresses on an iron deck. The dinins
room consists of four electric hot
plates. Nothing in the nature of d
spark is allowed below the decks, but
we can heat up coffee on the hot plates
and occasionally fry things. We
can't smoke and the vibration of the
engines makes it impossible to read
or even play cards, so when we are
not working there's nothing for US
to do but sit on the floor and look at
each other"
