6 Territorial battalion. He was then sent to India with his men, who took the places of the regulars who were called upon for active service in Eu- rope. In India he was sent to an out of the way corner of the country, where he was living quiet and un- eventful garrison life when he was called to England to receive instruc- tons as to his duties as viceroy. On the trip from Bombay to England his suite consisted of one native servant, but on the return journey he was ac- companied by a following quite regal in numbers.
 The man who is to rule the 350,- 000,000 people of India for the next five years is a sturdy, we'll built, smooth faced man. Only forty-eight today, he looks years younger. As Vicercy he will receive nearly a quar- ter of million dollars a year in salary and allowances. Lord Che1ms- ford inherited comparatively small estate from his father, the second Lord Chelmsford. but few months ago he received large fortune through the bequest of spinster cou- sin. Lady Chelmsford, who was the Hon. Frances Charlotte Guest before her marriage to the future viceroy in lSS4, received a large share of the estate of her multi millionaire father, the first Lord Wimborne.
 Lord Chelmsford's first important post was that of Governor-General of Queensland, to which he was appoint ed in 1905. Later he held the same position in New South Wales. His success in Australia made him A log ical choice for Britain,s most impor- tant foreign executive post. His Knowledge of India and it's teeming people, and his enthusiastic faith in the future of that ancient land, would seem to assure a highly suc- cessful administration.

INDIA'S VICEROY

Frederic John Napier Thesiser. third Baron Chelmsford, who was ap- pointed Viceroy of India early this wear, passes his forty-eighth mile- stone today. His elevation to the al- most imperial post of viceroy, which in splendor and emoluments is the most important within the gift of the British Crown, came as a complete surprise. Although he had previously held high office in Australia. Lord Chelmsford was a man without job at the outbreak of the war. He inn mediately offered his services as a soldier and became junior captain in

CHEWING GUM
 KILLS LAZINESS
Makes Both Mind and Body Alert Speeds Up the Worker-Aids Con- centration.
Factory Owners Install Vending Ma
 chimes for Their Employes.

Chewing gum is one of the greatest things in the world to drive away laziness. The mere act of chewing awakens a desire to be active.
 Try it out for yourself in any one of hundred ways and see if 1t is not true. Select, for example, a card par ty which is dragging and where all the players have lapsed into a don't care sort of way of playing. Pass around a package of gum and see how the game will speed up. The mind of. every player will immediately be concentrated upon the game.
 The same results are shown in ath- letics. If Q game of tennis is tagging and the players are ufeless hand out the chewing gum and at once the play is a hundred per cent. better.
 Many gymnasium managers and athletic trainers have discovered that it is an excellent thing to keep gum handy to offer their pupils when they are inclined to slow down in their exercise. In cases where lively physi- cal exertion is necessary the gum acts in dual capacity. It puts pep in the one who is exercising and keeps the throat moist and clear.
 There are also many lines of work where chewing gum assists the work CTS to concentrate and accomplish more. This is thoroughly recognized now in hundreds of large factories. and gum chewing among employees is encouraged by employers
 In New England and other parts of the country factory owners have gone so far as to install gum-vend- ing machines at the entrances and ex- its of their buildings and in wash rooms. They find that gum chewing not only checks idle conversation among employees. but removes any de- sire to lag.
 For years 1t has been . common belief that gum chewing was . pas- time for the idle, but as a matter of fact gum has a higher mission in our daily life. It is a stimulant and help to the busy. This is plainly proven by observing one of the vending ma chimes in a large factory. The em- ployes will invariably pass the ma chimes by as they go out to dinner or as they leave at closing time. When they como in the morning and when they return from dinner is when they stop to get . piece of gum. They do not seem to desire 1t when they are going to dinner or when they are so- ing home for the day. If is when they are about to resume their vari- ous tasks that they think of gum and take it to help make their work eas- fer.

is not expensive, because 50 little ma- terial is required for it's development. The frock is made with 2 sleeveless underbody which may have either . high or V-shaped neck. The skirt is . one-piece model, side e-plaited and at- tached to the underbody. It closes to the left of the center-front under the plaid. The blouse has an open front showing tLs front of the underbody faced to form q vest effect, and is trimmed with buttons made of either the cloth or silk.
 Medium size requires 2 yards 36- inch material for the blouse. 111 yards 44-inch material for the skirt. with lh yard 27-inch lining for the underbody.
 The purpose of the cutting guide IS to show how the pattern should be placed on the material to avoid mis- takes and if this is followed religious ly the maximum of effect will be achieved with q minimum of trouble. The fabric is laid in open width on the sewing table. to cut the skirt piec. ing and the facing can be cut from the same piece of goods.
 Now, fold the material from which the skirt proper is to be cut and along the lengthwise fold place the skirt, with the collar section to the right. The waist may now be- taken up. Fold the material and place the back along the lengthwise fold, with the pocket above it, the straight line resting on the selvage of the goods. The front and sleeve are laid on q lengthwise thread, the belt along tho selvage and the collar along the leng.hwise fold.
 There are only two sections to. the underbody, the front and back, the former being laid on a Iengthwise thread and the latter on a lengthwiss fold.

The Mohawk and IHudson Railroad Company was the ,,nrst corporation of its kind chartered I1n the New World, having been in- lcorporated in 1925. It's completion, however, was anticipated by the Balti-
 more 6 Ohio, chartered in 1927, which opened a fourt0en-mile line early in 1880. Both of these roads were con-. structed with the idea of carrying both passengers and freight. The Granite fine. a three-mile road at Quincy, Mass, and the Mauch Chunk < z Summit Hill. which had mileage Of nine. both of which were com plotted in 1927. were the first railroads on the continent, but both were short 1ndustrial lines for freight-carrying purposes only.
