TO RELIEVE CONGESTION.

The staggering congestion in rail-
road traffic has finally reached the
point where the government has been
forced to step in and take control.
Reports from all sections of the coun-
try show that conditions are such as
to threaten real disaster. To relieve
the situation the railroad war board
meeting with other high government
war officials decided that all railroads
east of Chicago should pool all their
property and operate as one road.
BY this means it is hoped to move the
maximum amount of traffic.
1t is not hard to fix the cause of
the severe congestion which has
seriously crippled freight, express
and parcel post shipping for some
time. Food supplies, munitions, fuel
and other material are being shipped
in great quantities to our troops in
France, as we'll as to our allies, Bel
gium, France, Italy and the rest.
From the same ports these things are
shipped, also large share of exports
to the neutral countries of Europe
Before they can be loaded on ship
board the railroads must carry them
to the ports.
Troop movements also have taxed
the railroads. Since August 1,500,-
900 men have been transported to
various training camps and points
of embarkatiOn for service abroad
Thousands of these have been trans
ported across the entire country.

Welding Compounds.

Welding liquids are not considered
so good as the preparations in the
powder form, with the possible excep-
tion of the solution of zinc in hydro
chloric acid which is used by timers.
A very good compound may be made
as follows:
To 20 parts Of iron filings add 10
parts borax, 1.5 parts sal ammoniac
and one part of resinous Oil (bal-
sam Of copaiba may be used).
The surfaces to be united are to be
powdered with this mixture, then
placed in the fire and heated to cher
ry red. When the composition melts,
remove the pieces, from the fire and
weld them quickly. There are numer-
Gus preparations but most Of them
contain ammonium, chloride, borax
and sodium carbonate.-Dr. Charles

some charitable soul, after losing a

A PATRIOTIC SUGGESTION.

We would like to suggest, for your
consideration, the use Of the United
States War-Savings Certificates in
giving Christmas bonuses to your
employees. Their use in place of
gold, currency or bank checks will
be of greatest service to your coun-
try, and value to those who will
benefit by your Christmas giving.
War-Savings Certificates are $5
government obligations and bear 4
percent compound interest. They
cost $412 in December, 1917, and are
worth SIS in 1928 The interest ac-
cumulates just by keeping them.
They can be cashed at any time if the
owner needs the money. They are
the safest and best investment in the
world today.
Every one of the little bonds you
distribute will aid your government
to save the lives of our soldiers
abroad. Every one will help to Sc
cure a preponderance of great guns
to clear the enemy trenches and send
our boys forward in safety, to vic
tory Every one will aid to supply
squadron after squadron of great
Tanks-moving steel forts-which
have proven to be one of the most
effective methods of protecting SOL
diers during an attack.
In instances where you give
amounts less than SIS, the United
States Thrift Stamps costing 25
cents each will be appropriate.
Have the recipients name written
on the certificate of Thrift Card, and.
on Christmas morning the possessor
will have the knowledge that he is
helping to save some American life,
and that some American will be
deeply thankful for many Christmas
days.
You will by this action, encourage
thrift, self-denial for the public
good, and a knowledge of investment
values among your employees. You
will foster a sense of responsibility,
desire to upbuild industry and the
nation. You will start on the road
of consistent saving, many who have
never saved dollar before. You will
start them saving to fill up the GER
tificates with more stamps, andso be-
gin service to your country many
times greater than the amount of
each individual gift you bestow.
We respectfully suggest that you
give this idea serious consideration
The service to your country will be
a really great one. We will be glad
to cooperate in making easy the use
of the certificates in this manner.
With best wishes for a happy and
very prosperous Christmas, we are,
Yours very truly,

WHERE TARLETON is BURIED
American Tourist Discovers Tomb Of
Dashing officer Who, Won Fame
in Revolution.

What became of Major TarletOn aft
er the Battle of Yorktown? Except
for very few people, says A. G.
Bradley in the Nation, everyone In
England has forgotten the very name
of the young cavalry leader. But many
persons in America must have won
dered what became Of the daShing SOL
dier, and how it happened that in the
long years of war that shook England
and Europe his name never once ap-
peared.
When Mr.. Bradley, in leisure hour,
entered the fine old fourteenth century
village church at Leintwardine, in
Herefordshire, he did not think that
the bare, unseated chapel promised
much of interest; indeed, he was just
turning away when in far corner and
partly concealed by ladders, buckets,
planks and other articles necessary to
the cleaning Of the church, he caught
sight of a lofty mural monument. The
lettering on it ran as follows:
''Near this place are deposited the
mortal remains of Sir Banastre Tarle-
ton-Baronet General in the Army
Knight Grand Cross of the Order Of
the Bath, Governor of Berwick-on-
Tweed, Colonel of the Gallant 9Th
HusSars-He represented his native
town of Liverpool for seven Sessions
and closed his distinguished career in
this place Jan. 25, 1888"
In 1898 Tarleton was sent to Portu-
gal, but was very soon recalled at his
own request, and with that exception
he never saw a shot fired after York
town or served anywhere abroad, al
though England was constantly fight
ing until Waterloo. He got promoted
regularly, however, for he stood well
at court and was member of the
prince of Wales circle.
TarletOn belonged neither to the no
bility nor to the landed gentry. He
was the son of a Liverpool merchant,
an unusual origin at that time for a
dashing cavalry officer and the best
horseman, according to good authority,
in the British army. He had entered
Oxford and had studied to become
barrister, but gave up classics and the
law for soldering and commission
at twenty-One years of age. He had
genius for the training Of men and
officers and for rapid and successful
strokes.
On returning from America, how
ever, he turned from soldering to poll
tics; he lost no time in entering the
house of commons, and sat for his
native city of Liverpool for 20 years.
He became major general in 1894,
lieutenant general in 1901, a full gen.
eral in 1912, baronet in 1915 and
G. c.. B. in 1920. He also held the
full colonelcy of several cavalry regi-
ments in succession and was for some
years governor of Berwick. He ap-
parently retired with his wife to
Leintwardone for the last years of
his life, lived there quietly and did not
mix with the neighboring county fam
lilies.
The seclusion of his gorgeous tomb,
behind the cobwebs of disuSed aisle,
gives a final touch Of mystery to the
romance that early associations with
Virginia have connected with Tarle-s
toms name.-Youth's Companion.

WAS not DOUBTED
John Dickinson Known as Pa
triot, Despite Actions.
Refused to Sign Declaration of Inde
pendence, but Fought for Cause
Both In Field and in Coun-
ellis of State.

John Dickinson, patriot member of
the congress of '76, who opposed the
Declaration of Independence, died at
Wilmington, Del, on February IA, 1908,
at the age Of seventy-four.
Dickinson came Of English Quaker
stock, his ancestors having left Eng
land In 1854 to escape Imprisonment
as noncOnfOrmists, observes the Wash
ington Post. They settled first in Vir-
ginia, later removed to Maryland, and
still later to plantation near Dover
Del. William Killen, young Irish
man, who afterward became chief JUS
tice Of Delaware, had the direction
of young Dickinson's education until
he was sent abroad to study law in
the Middle temple, London. His first
public service was as member Of the
assembly from the 'lower countless"
as Delaware was then termed, and
later as a delegate from the city of
Philadelphia.
During the initial years Of the war
for independence he was delegate
from Delaware to the Continental Con-
gress and was recognized leader.
Few contributed more to the move
ment for separation from the mother
country than did Dickinson, and espe-
cially through his writings as "a Penn
sylvania farmer" and yet he denounced
the Boston tea party as revolutionary
and contended that the tea destroyed
should be paid for. Notwithstanding
all this, his patriotism was never
doubted.
He drafted the famous "declaration
Of causes for taking up arms;" also
drafted the first letter to the king
and the address to the people of Amer
lea He opposed the Declaration Of
independence on the ground that 1t
would not strengthen the colonies "by
one man or by the least supply; that
it would expose the soldiers to new
cruelties; that without some trial Of
their strength they ought not to risk
an alternative where to recede would
be injury and to persist might be de-
struction.'' He declared the document
to be "a menace to England, an affront
to France, and a cause Of dissension
among the colonies themselves"
When the, crucial moment came the
opposition melted away, but Dickinson
simply absented himself and persist
emily declined to sign the immortal
document. His opposition to it de-
feated his reelection to congress, and
when, at a following election Della
ware named him, he declined to serve.
He did not sulk, however but strove
for the cause both in the councils and
in the field.
AS president of the Annapolis con-
vention he was the author Of a report
to congress >commending constitu-
tional convention, and as a delegate to
that convention insisted on the States,
regardless Of area or population, being
equally represented in the senate. He
had several important military COM
mands, and rendered efficient service
as an officer in the field.
His voice was ever against slavery
and he was an early advocate Of the
emancipation Of the slaves Of Della
ware and against the extension of the
institution in the territories. Dickin-
son was positive character, and en-
countered greater personal risk in the
cause of freedom than many wh0
championed the cause. =
