h Uniform.


 It seems that over there where the war is, If any civilian goes to the front, upon any of the grave missions which permit a civilian to get within the lines, he thinks it necessary to adopt a sort of uniform. He rigs him. self up like Richard Harding Davis war correspondent. in riding brooches and the leggings that go with them. Not long ago, according to report, two high officials of the civilian adminis- tration in Paris went to view the trenches on official business-more or less. Both followed the fashion. M. g. was equipped with fine nodded pigskin leggings, M. L---- wore put tees, the kind that wrap round and round in spirals.
 A general and couple of colonels were on hand to receive the eminent visitors when they left the train at the last station behind the front. As they dismounted from the special com partment it was observed that NJ. S- had his leggings on backwards, giving the extraordinary effect of wearing the calves of his legs in front, while M. L---- had not taken five steps before his puttees came un- wound, and trailed sadly upon the earth, revealing pair of slender shins garnished with stockings of tender purple silk. The general and the colonels did not even dare to laugh.

DRIVING AWAY DEMONS
ANCIENT CEREMONY RECENTLY
 HELD IN JAPAN.
Superstition Dying Slowly In the Em- Pire of the MIkado-Has Been an 5 Annual Custom fer Twelve
 Hundred Years.

Ceremonies were held recently throughout the Japanese empire-in household, shrine and temple-to drive away the demons of ill-fortune. The oate corresponds to the old Chinese New Year, marking the transition from winter to spring under the ancient cal endar.
 Tradition long observed in Japan noids the demons of i'll luck may be kept away during the year by pelting them with hard beans and by hanging outside the door branch of holly mock and the head of herring. The idea is that the herring, whose odor is distasteful to the demon, will keep the evil one from entering the house. and that if he succeeds in entering he Will be blinded by the beans. Each member of the household takes as many beans as he has years, and throws them in all directions and in all the rooms of his house.
 It was about 1,200 years ago, dur ipg the reign of the Emperor Monbu that the first ceremony of demon re- moving was held in Japan. Adopting the rite from China. the emperor in- corporated it with the object of stamp ipg out an epidemic that ragged throughout the land.
 The recent modern celebration was Ike this: Toward evening house wives become busy preparing for the celebration; beans arc crnckling in bottles and feasts are prepared for tAe family god and the family. Mean. while the husbands clean the shrine, hght the sacred lights and burn in. cense. while awaiting the beans and the feast.
 Parched beans are offered in 6 wood en box to the family god, and the fam ly clap their hands and reyerently bow before the shrine. Then the master carrying the box of beans, starts round his house, followed by his children to pet out the demons of misfortune. When he throws beans toward the di- rection of the god of good fortune he cries out: Come in. fortune!" and when he belts toward the other direo. ton he shouts: Go out, demons!" Children gather the scattered beans and vie with each other in seeing who gets most.
 There is superstition regarding the word bean" which may explain why it plays such a part in the cere- mony. The Japanese for bean" is "mame" and name means health Therefore the bean is the emblem of good fortune.

CAR SHORTAGE IS 4 RAILROAD PROBLEM
,ges President of the kansas City sonthern Explains Cause Of the Trouble and Suggests Remedies
 Handle Freight Promptly.

Railroads are suffering a severe tro;cht car shortage according to Mr James F. Holden, Vice President .n m charge of Traffic, The Kansas r,tv southern Railway Company. he osks that shippers and conslsnees oo-onerate in an endeavor to relieve the situation.
 ..There are several things enter mo into the matter of car shortages:
 sFirst-The European war has hroueht about an abnorman condl-, lion with respect to movement oi siI traffic. Cotton has moved a great S daai faster thissyear than in pFevl- o1S wears on account of the hlgn nrice and favorable weather for ppicking. making 1t very difficult for fhe compresses to handle, thereby wine m equipment under load with ,bis commodity. Furthermore, the scarcity of boats at the seaboard norts has further augmented thls already aggravated situation mak- ing if necessary to hold the cotton in cars. in some instances, awaiting the arrival of boats to lift 1t, This is also true of the handling of other export traffic, such as lumber, grain, flour. munitions, etc.
 "Second-There is another matter that has much to do with this sub feet. and one wherein the public can render a great service; that IS, for the receivers of freight to prompt ly unload and shippers to promptly load equipment A large per cent of the delay to equipment is due to slow loading and unloading or cars, and if this matter is given careful and systematic attention by ship pers and consignees, just that many more cars will be available.
 The Public Utilities Commission of Kansas has ordered the railroads to put on an increased penalty cov- ering the holding of ears by shippers and consignees, and other states are conducting hearing along similar lines. The Interstate Commerce Commission is also Investigating this matter. The railroads will en- deavor to relieve the situation by increasing the penalty for holding cars, and no doubt, good will re- suit from this action.
 "On the Kansas City Southern Railway. we have reserve motive power, station and yard facilities for handling much greater busi- ness than We are now moving, and if shippers and consignees will CO., operate in loading and unloading cars promptly, much benefit will be derived therefrom by all concerned" :"

Tn many counties of the state, the office of sheriff and collector pays as much as Sf5,000 year, and the people are beginning to resent this. There are many offices that pay as much or more than the office of governor under the fee system. Salary bills are usually unpopular among the politicians. but the people want them.
