RAP chester TRAFFIC COPS
FOR LAXITY ON Streets

CHESTER. Pa. Aug. 29-After
heated speeches in which the local
police department was bitterly de-
nounced for permitting drivers Of
jitney cars to do about as they
pleased" City Council, at its meeting
yesterday recommended that the de-
partment Of Public Safety and the
traffic police squad be severely rep
rimanded for not being efficient and
up-to-date in directing traffic on the
busy corners.
It was claimed that the jitneys did
not observe the regulations provid
ing for the displaying of lights on
the rear of the vehicles and that the
cars were run recklessly right under
the noses of the men who were EN-
ployed to watch the street crossings.
The matter came up to Council yes
terday morning through numerous
complaints on the part of citizens
who claim that their lives are tn
dangered by tile loose manner in
which the traffic men do their duty.

Heads
SAY trains Will Be
KEPT ON THE MOVE
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-Railroad
executives are worrying Lessor
showing il less-over the result OF a
strike than the public. They say they
do not believe that traffic will be
paralyzed and they claim they can
break a strike in a week"
Mail trains, the executives declared
today. will be operated no matter
what happens. The same claim ap-
plies to trains carrying milk and other
perishable food necessities.
Both sides of the railroad contro-
versy are highly organized. There IS
little chance for 2 slim. The brother
hoods. for instance, issued their
strike order August IA. with the date
OF its effect blank. The railway man
ayers laid plans Immediately TO meet
the strike. Their spies reported the
date set a few days later.
Strike plans for the managers include
the presumption that there will be at
least slight OBJECTIONS from the ranks
OF the Brotherhood members-old en-.
ployes OF employees not in sympathy
with strike. But they include also
manning the trains with emergency
crews.
10 Is declared that two years aeo
when railroad strike Threatened
great Eastern system had man ready
to take the place Of every possible
striker. Plans were so detailed that
they included stationing strike breakers
at points where striking trainme,
would leave their terminals n vas
claimed there would be man ready TO
fill every vacated post.
No plans as perfect as these have
been reported out Of the managers con.
ference. But the fact that among both
managers and higher executives there is
a large representation Of former iremen.
brakemen and engineers who have
worked themselves TO the Top promises
a battle royal in case Of a strike.

DANGER Of Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is NeG-
ralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore muscles or
sometimes an attack of Rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment,
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the stiffness
and pain leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find one or two applications Of Sloan's
Liniment will give grateful relief.
The agonizing pain gives way to a
tingling sensation of comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep is
possible. Good for Neuritis too.

LATEST of All Birds.

LATEST of all Birds is the frog
mouth. He sleeps all day, and
instead of flying about In search
of food he sits still on a limb and
literally waits for the insects to
come and feed him. He's such
a sound sleeper that you can
knock him off his perch with a
club and he'll not wake up. He
inhabits the islands of the In
dian ocean and Australia.
He's about the size of the
whipporwill and gets his name
from his wide mouth, which also
serves as his insect trap. Too
lazy to fly for his food, like other
birds, he crawls along the limb
of atree, opening his wide mouth
and swapping it shut, catching
what flies and gnats come with
in his range.
At night he's found perched
with his mate on the roofs of
houses, on fences or stumps.
Only after the sun goes down
does he show aoy inclination to
move about. Ali day he sits,
feet glued to the limb of a gum
tree, Indifferent to rain, tropical
sun or the call of the woods.
One species of frogmouth has
tufts of hair rising from the top
of his head like ears.

Watch Segregation Case.

Interest is being shown through
out the South in the Louisville
(Ky.) race segregation case,
which is pending in the United
States Supreme court. For many
years virtually every southern
city has tried to solve the prob
lem, but so far none has been
successful in this direction. No
trouble is experienced in enact
ing "Jim Crow" laws for steam
railways, street car systems, pub
lie buildings and similar places
where both races assemble and
these laws readily stand the test
of the courts upon points of con-
stitutionality, as the same priv
ileges and accommodations are
accorded to negroes as to white
people in such cases.
But in setting aside certain
streets or blocks where only ne
groes or only white people shall
live, every city0that has under
taken it has encountered obsta-
cles which defeated the effort.
Many cities have passed four or
five ordinances upon this SUBJ
ject at different times, and the
courts have always found some
constitutional flaw in them.
Leading negroes in southern
cities favor the segregation Or
dinance quite as strongly as
white people, and in practically
every southern city the negroes
have to some extent segregated
themselves without such an or
dinance. The trouble usually
arises in some specific case,
where such an ordinance works
hardship or injustice either upon
a lessee or property owner
For instance. a certain block
is designated as an "all white"
block. Everybody in this block
is white except one negro, who
owns his home. 1t becomes in
cumbent upon him to move and
he cannot dispose of his property
readily. The same may happen
to white property owner who
has rented to negroes.
There are a large number of
southern cities waiting, with
segregation ordinances enacted,
for the Supreme courts decision.
Among the more important cities
are st. Louis, Richmond, Balti-
more and Atlanta. 1.-THE Louis
vile ordinance is upheld by the
court, it is safe to say that prac-
tically every city in the South
will have such an ordinance with.
in the next two years.

French Best Guns in Reserve.

That the French haven't yet
played their trump card at Yer.
dun, but still have their best guns
in reserve, is the statement of
a staff correspondent of the New
York World, who is with the
Allied forces. He writes:
1t is not permissible to say
much about the French forma-
tions at this stage of the mighty
conflict, but l am authorized to
emphasize the two folio wing
points: First Gen. Petain has
not yet brought forward all his
reserves of heavy artillery of
which the monster 400 millime-
ire (153 inch) shells standing in
the entrance of the lobby of the
Ministry of Munitions afford to
Parisians so striking an example;
secondly, every French counter
attack undertaken on either bank
of the Mouse since April | has
been begun at the moment chos-
en- by the best suited to the pur
poses of the French Commander
in, Chief.
Furthermore, every such coun.
ter attack has been entirely sue
cessful, notably that in the Gail.
cite Woods a week ago, which
drove the Germans into trench
line weaker than any they have
occupied in this section since the
Bradenburgers got into Fort
Douaument.
There have been a few of
these counter attacks and little
has been said about them in
print, but in not one case have
the Germans succeeded in driv-
ing the French troops into a cor
ner so tight they were obliged to
strike back at a time better suit
ed to the Germans than them
selves.
When l was at Verdun two
weeks ago | saw scores upon
scores of big calibre arteries
standing on the roads just be-
yond range of the German long
distance guns. There was no
reason these cannoDs shouldn't
be moved to the front at mo-
ment's notice except that in
Gen. Petain's opinion they
weren't needed because each
was attached ia a giant tractor
and hence quite independent of
the railroad transport.
am told that many of these
guns are still kept in reserve,
awaiting the day when the need
for them will arise.

Lady-Seven years, sir.

older?
