well to the cultivation of the mind as
to the training of the body and its
muscles, If you would enjoy competi-

as necessary as the last to become su-
perexcellent at any sport. to get the

Ford'S New Plan.
(Waterbury Republican,

w dISIUuIy INSpuD1lCdu). Henry Ford has come forward with
 a suggestion that sounds good. It is that the modern railroad car ought to be made lighter without losing any durability and that he be permitted to undertake the revolutionizing of American rolling stock with this in view.
 Engineers may laugh at the Ford suggestion, but engineers have laughed at other suggestions of his and stayed to admire still others He appears to have been the first to get to market
 with 8 light, self-propelled motor car
 durable enough and reliable enough
 to meet the demands of the great ma
 jority of folks using horses and wag- ons and he may have the right idea also about the freight cars.
 This improvement, if Ford brings it forward and it proves practical will be most progressive one. Millions of tons of light goods are carried hun dreds of miles year after year on the railroads in cars much heavier than their contents. When the cars are emptied they represent so many thou sands of tons which must be hauled Ddch to Lnelr StarClng pIaCeS, hundreds of miles more, and for this hauling great big engines are required the same engines that are required to haul great heavy trains of heavily laden freight cars. What a wonderful re- lief it would be, in periods of freight congestion, to be able to send the light, empty cars back home behind light, or old-fashioned engines, leav- ing the great modern giant locomo- tives to move the cargoes still await ing delivery!
 As a peace advocate the country may feel that it has the right to laugh at Henry Ford, but as a manu- facturer of rolling stock he has won respect and as an exponent of effi- ciency in industrial managem ent he is leader. Therefore his idea about light railroad cars for carrying freight is worthy of consideration and pos sibly there will be some radical i'm provements in railroad rolling stock because of it.

was reported several months ago that the prince had been sent on a mission to the Standardization emperors. But allied diplomats and others who have studied George reached the con- clusiOn that his attitude on the war
 was nearly the opposite of that of
 his father Before the war the father
 and son were both considered anti
 German, like the rest of Greece, for the reason that Germany had trained, munitioned and in part officered the Turkish armies during the first Bal kan war and had taken the part of Bulgaria in the second. Although
 Queen Sophia was the sister of the German Kaiser, the Greek royal fam fly was sfOr a long time unfriendly with Wilhelm because he had ad- dressed what was regarded as an in- sulting message to her when she al- lowed herself to be converted from the Lutheran to the Greek Orthodox church without his sanction. This quarrel had been patched up before the war, however, and Queen Sophia was a loyal Hohenzollern as well as a Greek queen.

The View of an Old Engineer.

(From the Worcester Telegram)
 He admits he cannot see what the boys are making so much fuss about. He is an old engineer, and has his pick of trains on the New York, New Ha- cen and Hartford railroad because he has a reputation of getting there and avoiding mistakes. He runs a high class train four hours one way one day, and runs it back to his home place the next day, and keeps on re- beating. There is a matter of looking after his locomotive an hour or more daily, and that mans wages have been for some time $3S one week and SAP the next week. He has been in Wore ester visiting his sister, and heard here, as he has before, that there are several engineers hereabouts who are paid from $45 to $55 a week, and he says that is all right because they are more ambitious in their younger days than he is now and they get pay for longer runs or hours on the road. He began more than 30 years ago as a brakeman for $11.50 a week, and thought he was some young man at that Brakemen are now paid from SIS to $32 a week or more in some cases of long days on the road, and firemen get more than that. That is why the old man at the throttle ad- nits he cannot see what the boys are fussing about all over this country But perhaps he is prejudiced, and an old-fashioned man at that, content to live on nearly three times what the average man is paid in this country of the highest-price labor on earth.

BIG EVENTS PLANNED
 FOR MEET AND RALLY
September 2S to Be Gala Day for
 All Local Scouts

The Boy Scouts of the city are planning for a gala occasion two weeks from today, September 23, when they will hold their first out door meet and rally of the season. tast winter the troops of the city held an indoor meet in the armory, but this fall the plan is to have the meet out of-dOors and combine a number of features with it that will serve to let the public know a little better what the scouts of the city are doing and what a valuable asset to New Britain the boys with scout training are. The local council, the body in charge of the meet. desires also that every scout in the city shall meet every other scout and get new enthusiasm for the winters work from the contact and from the program that is provided.
 The program of the meet will give tEe people of the city an idea of what the scouting program is. The events, in theorder that they will be run, are as follows:
 1-Semaphore signalling
 2-Stretcher making This is a first aid event in which the scouts demonstrate their fitness to carry an injured person with a minimum of strain to the nearest physician for treatment.
 3-Equipment race. A scout is ex- %aected to work quickly and skilIfullv and the ability to don the scout uni form in a short time and have every article of clothing arranged exactly right requires quickness of thought and carefulness of observation.
 4-Patrol standing and broad jump relay.
 5-First aid race. The ability to " of. service in an emergency is one of the things that has been most note worthy. among scouts. Tn this race scout is expected to treat any injury or wound that may be outlined at the start of the race, accurately and quickly. The event is judged for accuracy and for thoroughness .6-Cent;pede race.
 7-Knot tying. A scout is expected to know how to tie all the useful l knests so that in case of an emergency i he may be able to be of service.
 8-Fire by friction. This is a 1
 
 fires that the Indian used. No small 1 value and charm of the scout pro- gram is the appeal to the rugged and 1 pioneering spirit of the boy
 9-Staff throw.
 10-Morse signalling Many scouts know both the semaphore and Morse cSdes.
 Hire by friction relay, in which two boys constitute a team. When the first boy has lighted his fire by the friction apparatus the second mem Der proceeds to do the same. The team wins that first succeeds in getting both fires lighted.
 12-Fire building and water boil in~
 7. Suitable awards in recognition of the winning troop will be made. The local council is planning many other interesting features for the day that will be announced as soon as the de- tails are completed.

Lord Roberts, Smallest Comedian,
Heads Good Bill at the Pantages

Among the excellent headline
offerings that will adorn the new
bill at the Pantages theater be-
ginning Monday matinee will be
Lord Roberts, the smallest big
entertainer in vaudeville. lie is
22 years old and is only "a inches
tall and his weight is about 3
pounds. The diminutive little
artist is both a comedian and a
mimic. He initiates Sousa. Charlie
Chain and other celebrities.
Another headline offering will
be the first appearance here of
the Four Vagabonds. This is a
comedy quartet, termed the best
male quartet ever touring the
Pantages circuit" Their roper
toire of songs runs from favorite
southern melodies to the last
word from the songwriters of
the east.
Hirchoff's troupe of Russian
gypsies will present an elaborate
singing and dancing act entitled,
"A Night With the Gypsies.' One
of the comedy features will be
Carl Byal and Dora Early, we'll
known favorites of the Eastern
big-time circuits. Byal is a lik-
able young chap who sings we'll
and Miss Early is coincidence
with eccentric, vivacious manner.
Nan Gray is a charming young
woman who sings delightfully."-
and who will be heard in a num-
Der of character songs.
Another corking feature will
be the two Rails, comedy gym
nasts, jugglers and eccentrics,
whose performance is said to be
far above the ordinary. Violet
and Charles will offer neat
singing and dancing turn.

OF all our bodily members the
feet are of greater use and as a
rule receive the least care.
Avoid tight shoes by all means.
With them you cannot walk
gracefully. They will make you
limp, curve your foot this way and
that, and make you appear clumsy
and awkward
Have you ever noticed how
much easier it is to walk barefoot
ed? That is because without stiff,
heavy leather shoes one has full
and free control OF the feet.
The Greeks, famous for physi-
cal perfection, wore sandals. The
sole of the foot was protected;
the muscles and joints left free.
Have you ever noticed a person
with one hip seemingly larger
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-04-01

than the other? If that person
had not. perhaps. been careless
and neglected a corn or other
foot blemish there would have
been no malformation. A corn
generally causes a person to walk
with the weight all on the good
foot. The opposite hip is thrown
out of position.
DO not try TO pinch and squeeze
your feet into shoes that are too
small under the mistaken idea
that small feet gained in this way
are pretty. You will find in time
that small shoes cramp the devel-
opment of the feet and cause mis-
shaped joints.
A large foot, we'll shaped, is by
far much more beautiful than a
small foot, misshapen.
