In sad but loving remembrance OF my
grandmother, Mrs Laura p. Byers, who
departed this life January p, 1916.
Dear grandmother. we know that you are al rest.
In that beautiful home above,
Away from this world OF toll and care,
To that land OF peace and love.
The one we loved is missing
The voice we loved is STILL
Thy place in our hearts is vacant,
And never can be filled.
Life is sad. oh. how dreaIy.
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.

RAILROADS WILL

MORE CAPITAL
Will Be Required Annually to
Increase Facilities to Handle
Growing Commerce

Washington, Nov. "a. Railroads
will need s1,250, 100000 additional
capital annually for the next ten or
twelve years to increase their facilities
to handle the country's growing COM
merce. Alfred P. Thorn, counsel for
the railway executives advisory COM
mittee. told the congressional railroad
investigating committee to-day, con-
tinuing his statement on behalf of the
railroads begun yesterday. About
$3.50, 100000 a year additional will be
required. he said to refund maturing
Indebtedness.
To attract investors, Mr.. Thorn sug-
gested that federal regulation should
replace the present system of author
ity divided between the States and
the central government. He cited
examples of injustice and hampering
of railroad financing caused by State
control of issues by Interstate roads.
Referring to the need of additional
railroad facilities Mr.. Thorn said:
"It has been found that the wealth
of the country has been increasing at
the rate of eight or nine per cent. a
year and the same ratio of increase
has held good as to the demand for
transportation.

FIX DATE FOR
PAPER HEARING
Federal Trade Commission to
Go Deep Into Alleged Con-
spiracy Dec. II

Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.-The
Federal Trade Commission to-day
fixed December IL as the date for an
other public hearing on the newsprint
paper situation and invited manufac-
turers, jobbers, newspaper publishers
and any others interested to appear.
The commission made no announce
ment concerning the line of inquiry to
be pursued, but it is generally believed
the commission will go deeper into
charges of conspiracy among manu-
facturers to raise prices.
The date was selected after confer
ences with officers of the American
Publishers Association, who at pre-
vlous hearing charged high prices to
a manufacturers combination. Paper
makers, who attribute high prices to
a scarcity of material, also were con-
suited.
Investigators who have been at
work for months now are ready to
report and information they have
gathered will be presented at the
hearing. One publisher told the Com
mission it was in much better position
to develop facts than were the pub
fishers.

auxiliary service bill is. considered by
Secretary of the Interior Won Loebell
as surprising in importance all pre-

now positive lack of labor, especial
ly in the manufacture of munitions
and war material of all kinds.

In 1877 he took up the question Of
electricity and was among the first to
make dynamo electric machines and
electric lamps in the United States
He took out a great many patents on
electrical machinery and in 1881 was
made chevalier of the Legion of
Honor by President Grevy.
Invented Automatic Gun
me Maxim automatic gun was in
vented in 1884 in London and was i'm
mediately adopted by the British gov
eminent, which used it in the war
with Matabele. The gun fired 600
rounds minute and caused such
slaughter that parliament seriously
discussed the question as to whether
its use was justified. Some years later
sir Hiram, created baronet by Queen
victoria after having become natural
lied as an Englishman, invented the
first smokeless powder.
Developed Flying Machine
In 1884 Sir Hiram Maxim invented
-than-air flying machine
which raised itself from the ground
carrying driver and passenger. This
was nine years before the first prac-
ticable airplane was created by the
Wright brothers. Sir Hiram's machine
was ponderous affair and broke down
in its early trials. In 1915 the in
ventor was appointed member of the
inventions board, created by the gov
ernment to meet the needs of the war.
Following the success of the Wright
biplane, Sir Hiram renewed his long
continued interest in aviation and in
1910 perfected a machine which he
declared had certain advantages over
the Wrights'. II was he who, with
others, interested the British govern
ment in beginning its organization OF
an aerial navy. and though he was
then 10 years old. he lived TO see the
great war bring air fighting to pass in
even greater measure. probably, than
he himself had dreamed.
In addition to his gun and aero
plane he patented many electrical in
ventions. including lamps. self-regu-
lating current machines. several pieces
of ordnance and smokeless powder.
He was a chevalier of the Legion
of Honor. member of the American
Society of Civil Engineers. the ROYAL
Society of Arts the British Asaocia-
I ton for the Advancement of Science
