kWG.HMAGSCHARGE
AGAINST The RAILROADS
Says They Permit Overtime to Prove
Adamson Law Would Be
Expensive.

CLEVELAND, January 3.-W. q. Lee
chief Of the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen. has issued statement here
charging thet the railroads Of the
country are permitting delays to trains
and overtime which would not ardi-
narily be permitted. in order to prove
the enormous expense that would fol-
low obedience to the Adamson law. The
preme Court declares the law either
constitutional or invalid the brother
hoods should continue to await the
eight-hour day.
Denies q Rumer.
Lee denied a report published that a
sealed statement putting the Adansonl
law situation up to the men had been
sent out by the chiefs Of the four
thotherhoods.
Ut was learned from an authoritative
source today that the general chairmen
of the four brotherhoods will hold a
meeting in Chicago January IL, to con-
slider the situation.
The Lee statement reads:
"The railways enjoined the govern
ment from enforcing the Adamson law
Additional litigation will. thereafter.
on the plea of determining to whom
does the law apply, or how does 1T ap-
ply?
ALREADY the railroads are permit
ting delays to trains, overtime made.
etc, that would not be permitted under
normal conditions.
Says Organizations Are Law Abiding
Recall il YOU can an instance where
labor organizations have attempted to
enjoin the government from enforcing
. federal statute. Such organizations
are law abiding instead of law break
ers.
"Remember, the railways are not en-
joining the brethefheeds but are en-
Joining the government.
The question is after the supreme
Court has said the law IS or is not
constitutional. shall the employees who
President Wilson and Congress declared
should have the eight hour basic
work day forget their request and con-
tinue to waltz"

Cjerovman's Sore Throat.

George Steel Perkins communicates
to the Lancet his views on the pharyn-
gifts and l%aryngitis of public speakers.
He states that it is now over thirty
years since he first asked himself why
we speak of the condition ; clergy
mems sore throat and not as lawyers
sore throat. Why is this condition so
rarely seen in lawyers who use their
voices more than clergymen, and In
stufiipr atmospheres? On thinking
over the matter the only difference the
writer could perceive between a cler-
gyman's and a lawyers speaking was
that a clergyman spoke down to his
congregation, and a lawyer spoke up
to the judge, the former thus pressing
on his larynx and causing congestion,
whereas the lawyer had his larynx
and throat in a normal position, or
rather in a %hypernOrmal position.
From that time he has always ad-
vised such patients to speak looking
up to their audience and never down.
He has used no local applications or
treatment except to rectify a condition
such as granular ~pharyngitis. but
where necessary he has suggested a
rest of voice for two. or three months.
In all cases this plan has been success
FIJI.

GIRLS WHO FAIL AT SCHOOL
They Acquire a sensitiveness Which
Causes Great Deal Of Unnecessary
and U~nsuspec;ed U~nhappiness.

The suicide of n girl who failed to
pass Il mathematical examination at
the Girls high school is an extreme in
stance of a form Of sensitiveness which
Is very cOmmon among school chill
dren and which causes a great deal of
wholly unnecessary. and sometimes I'M
suspected unhappiness, says the Brook
Ign Eagle.
This poor girl thought that she had
disgraced her family by her failure, an
absurd notion which could only find
Judgment in a. mind not entirely recov-
cred from the general unsettling of
adolescence. At that age the unsettling
affects both boys and girls, but the re-
suit is more likely to be serious with
girls because they take less exercise In
the open air. Their nerves are less
dominated by muscles tired out in
healthful sport and they have more
time for intrOspectiOn-a process which
Is pretty sure to distOrt ones view of
his relations to his surroundings until
such time as the mind has hardened
and grown up and experience has
taught that the world does not revOlve
around the success or failure of amy
one of US.
The prevention for this sort of I'M
happiness is to be found in keeping a
sharp eye-On no account Il sharp
tongue-on children when they are be-
ginning to study too hard, and to AVE
some divcrting relaxation ut hand for
them when the point is reached mt
which study Is no longer productive.
Children sometimes middle for hours
over lessons without getting any clear
idea and when all the nervous force
they put into their study is wasted.
Sometimes that is because they have
not learned how to think and some
times because no one has aroused their
interest in that study. They Just hate
algebra or civil government, and in
that frame of mind the effort they put
on ii is almost sure to be wasted. The
remedy in that case Is not more study
but either Il better understanding or
more play to rest tired brain and
nerves. But the application of the
remedy requires a very close and SYM
pathetic understanding Of the child.
and parents sometimes find that harder
with their children than outsiders.

The Dead LANGUAGES,

Greek and Latin are all right in their
way. but they don't weigh much in the
way of gaining for us the common ne
cessities of life. such as meat and
milk-Or nuts and nOOdles-accOrding
to ones proclivities. Modern English
is what we really need and we waste
our time in trying to acquire it through
the Greek and Latin route. About the
only thing Il knowledge of Latin can
do for us is to enable us 10 read the
doctors prescriptiOn-and perhaps the
less we know about that, the better off
We'll be. Then if we know Greek we
can tell our children what kind of a
cork screw the word knock" resem-
.bles i'm the original-and of what value
is that?-EXchange.

A special dispensation from the god
ty women, lies in the present vogue for
two or more fabrics in n gown. In
all the array of pretty frOcks for after
noon wear-or any other dressy wear,
FOR that matter-there are hardly any
that are fashioned of just one mute
rial. If the mission of Il gown is full
filed by merely looking well, it is made
Of two or more materials, or of two
patterns in one material.
Thrift is n mark of good breeding
in these times. Now, when the re-
sources of this country are about to be
put to the test. women must be willing
TO do with less so that others, who
need, may have more.
But 1t is no great hardship to do
without a new frOck if an old one can
De remodelcd into n thing of beauty.
The gown shown in the picture offers
4 good suggestion for remOdeling be-
cause the overbodice and sleeves are
made of georgette crepe, and worn
with n silk skirt and underbOdice. This
OverbOdice bears all the evidences Of
being strictly up-to-date with its wide
tucks, long sleeves and its big cape
collar of white crepe. A small triangle
Of white crepe is set in the sleeves at
the wrist.
A new bodice of this kind simply eff
faceS the memory of the dress il used
to be and makes this into Il dress of
today. A new finishing touch appears
In the neck ribbon and tassel which
add the final charm to a frock that
can't help proving Il satisfaction to its
wenrer. There + so many POSSIBLE

Most Poisonous Thinu,

The most poisonous thing in the
world is not to be found in an apOthe-
cary shop, O in any herb or chemical
or disease germ. The most poisonous
thing in the world is an minimizing
tongue. Words fifty spoken are like
apples of gold in pictures of silver
but words spitefully or thoughtlessly
spoken are like poisoned darts from an
Indian hunters bow, blighting and
killing wherever they fall. Can you
think with your right hand?' says a
japanese prOverb. a greater thing
than that is to he able TO think with
the tongue-but not always to think
aloud. "He whose words are pure, for
the wisdom of his lips the king shall
be his friend."-LOs Angeles Times.

ties in the remodeling of gowns by
combining materials that the amateur
Is apt to try n little original designing.
But safety lies in copying the models
in afternoon frocks turned out by ex-
pert designers, when gowns are TO be
remodeled.
Everything else in neckwear is
more or less eclipsed by the vogue of
the jabot which amounts. just now, TO
a furOre. Snowy heaps of net and lace,
fashioned into every variety of jabot,
happen in all parts of the dry goods
stores, and each is Il center of attrac-
ton for a crowd of absOrbingly inter-
ested women. otherwise the regular
neckwear section would be overwhelm-
ed. 1t doesn't take any craftsmanship
to sell jabOts. they sell themselves. and
all the merchant has to do is TO take
the mOney-and keep up the supply.
This pretty madness on the part of
women promises to Outlast the sum-
mcr and the jabot is SO altogether clas-
sy and pretty that it should have a
long popularity. With this In mind
we can be reconciled to the rather ex-
travagant prices that are asked for
