On and on ran Mother Reddy as fast
as ever she could put her feet to the
ground. and all the time the sound of
Bowser's great voice was louder and
louder. You see, instead of running
away from him she was running toward
him as fast she could. That is just
what she was doing, and all the time
hoping and hoping that she would reach
him before he should find Chubby, her
lost darling. and all the time fearing
and fearing that she wouldn't.
But she did. Between the tree trunks
she caught a glimpse of Bowser with
his nose to the ground galloping along
on what she knew must be Chubby's
trail. Mrs. Reddy swung about in a
circle SO as to run around and come in
ahead Of Bowser. Then. painting a lit
tie because she had run SO fast. she sat
right down in plain sight. On came
Bowser and still Mrs. Reddy didn't
move. Nearer and nearer he drew. but
he was SO intent on following his nose

CHURCHILL NOT NAMED.
Announcement Of New Head Of Brit.

of the appointment of Col. Winston
Spencer Churchill as chairman of the
British air board now appears to have
been premature. If not incorrect. The
announcement was made through the
semi official press association and al
legedly on official authority, but is now
denied by the Post. which says that
Lord Cowdray has not resigned. The
Times also denies the Churchill ap-
pointment. but adds that 1t Is likely to
come in the near future.
Some of the papers ignore the press
associations statement and the an
nounced appointment of George H.
Roberts. labor member OF parliament,
as minister of pensions is also in
doubt. According to the newspapers
the executive committee of the labor
party met on Thursday and decided to
send Mr.. Roberts to Russia as the chief
delegate Of the party.

ut was brought to my attention some
days ago that member of Congress
had been informed that in the building
of cantonments at Fort Mcpherson
contract had been let for price which
was to be determined by the cost of
material and la Dor plus a percentage of
profit to the contractor: that thereupon
the contractor had bought lumber at
$50 per thousand feet. cord measure.
which was then selling in the mill at
$50 per thousand feet. and had en-
ployed labor at the rate of 81 per diem
while the current rate for labor in that
market was 81 per diem. the obvious
i'm plication being that these excessive
prices for material and labor were paid
by the contractor In order to increase
his profits. which would be based upon
percentage ofrhe aggregate cost.

the lesson of France, of England. OF Rus-

These must be moved with the utmost

Then will come the construction OF

But irrespective of this, there is one
thing absolutely certain, and that is
that track and equipment must De kept

repairs made promptly without waiting
for lower labor and material costs. and.
therefore, the carriers must nave the
revenues NECESSARY for such costs. In
that sense the rate increase bears a
definite and immediate relation to the
successful prosecution of the war
Mr.. Patterson said that while the
wear 1916 had recorded the largest
earnings in the history of the EASTERN
roads, the net operating income on the
property investment showed no more
than 6.64 per cent. and that the aver
age dividends for the year were only
ABB per cent. or the lowest paid In
twelve years.
1t was plainly evident. Mr.. Patterson
concluded. that without an increase In

statement of Samuel Rea. president of
the Pennsylvania railroad. that the
railroad situation presented menace
to the country.
Prosperous railroads of the country
should use the large surplus garnered
in the last few years to meet the
emergency of today, rather than seek

Mr.. Cary declared that the roads of
