RAILROAD RUMBLES
LOCAL BRAKEMAN
HAS CLOSE CALL
C.. l.. Adams Saves Life by
Sticking to Fence; Wheels
Touch Body

Thrills are a part of the life of a
railroad brakeman. Charles L. Adams
of 2056 Swatara street, employed on
the Middle Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, will vouch for this.
He had his first real thrill early yes
terday when he was knocked from a
moving freight train, and saved him
self from being ground to pieces be-
meath the wheels by squeezing his
body close to a fence.
Adams, with his crew, was enroute
east. At Lewistown junction his train
was to wait for orders. Brakeman
Adams started to get off. Along the
side of the track was fence. When
about to jump Adams right foot
caught between two palings, and he
was thrown from the car. He fell be-
tween the rail and track fence.
The space into which the brakeman
squeezed his body was small, and he
could feel every wheel touch his
clothing. Adams breathed a sigh of
relief, and a silent prayer when the
cabin car passed him. Members OF
the crew noticed the brakemans sud
den disappearance and expected to
find him ground to pieces. They were
more than surprised when the Har-
risburger walking toward them re-
lated his experience. He escaped with
few scratches.

Cannot Raise Mems. Wages
Is Official Statement

Chicago. Feb. "A formal state
ment of the view of the railroads as
to the demands of the men for an
eight-hour day was issued here yes
terday by the Executive Committee of
the Association of Western Railways
The statement asserts that the de-
mands are not in reality for a shorter
day, but, in effect. request for an
advance in wages which would cost
the railways of the nation 500, 600, 600
a year in wages alone. This is eX-
planned by the assertion that train
men work between terminals, not by
the hour, and do not, as matter of
fact, expect to shorten their hours
of toll, but to be paid for overtime
over eight instead of ten hours.
The movement. says the statement.
involves 300,0 900 men on 100000 miles
of line in the United States and Can
ada. A strike, which the statement
says has been informally threatened
by an element of the brotherhoods,
would constitute the greatest indus
trial catastrophe the American pub
lie has ever knewn.

A Sure Way to
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not ALL of your
dandrun will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, CLOS
sy, silky and soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better.-Advertisem
