HOLDING LOADED CARS
Shippers Found to Be Abusing Their
Diversion Privilege and Wasting
Much Car Space.

(From the United States Department Of
A~griculture.)
Shippers who hold loaded cars at
yards while deciding on their final
destination contribute Importantly to
the shortage in transportation accord
ing to the bureau of markets of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Specialists who studied condi-
lions at the Potomac yards, Virginia,
for 80 days last summer, found that
236 cars of perishable commodities
were held on the average of A hours
each by shippers or consignees before
issuing orders to move the cars No
car held for less than "a hours was
counted. A car of cabbage vas held.
IS hours; a car of watermelons, "a
hours; a car of c%ucumbers, 104 hours !;
a car of potatoes, 12S hours; and a
car of tomatoes, 213 hours.
These facts make clear that ship
pers through these yards are abusing
their diversion privilege and are vast
ing much car space by not keeping
their cars moving. The remedy is to
file diversion orders in advance of ar
rival. AS Potomac yards is only one
of hundreds of important diversion
points, the waste, the specialists point
out, is significant and without com
pensating advantage to owners.

"There's a Time to Fight"

Miss Miriam, who will be
years old soon, knows that little girls
should not fight but she is not a "paci-
fist" for all that. A few days ago she
was taken 10 task by her mother for
engaging in a pugilistic encounter with
another little girl. swell, mother"
she said, 81 don't know whether she
hit me first, but 1 know that if / hit
her she deserved it, for that child's
mother never has brought her up prop
erly."
On another occasion she complained
that a small boy Of her acquaintance
had. kicked her, but admitted on being
pressed that she had not done much
first, "only pinched and slapped his
face a little" She was told to tell the
boys father, so the boy might be pun
ished, but to be sure and tell what she
had done, too. The father Is still wait
ing for the report.-Indianapolis News.

WATERWAYS AGAIN IN FAVOR
BY Imposing Increased Burden Upon
Railroads War Necessitates
More Transportation.

Transportation economy throughout
the drainage basin of the Mississippi
river, which is served by more than
1900 miles of navigable waterways,
has passed through two distinct
periods, and is now entering a third.
First there was the raft, then the
temporary barge, and finally the great
steamboat, with it's extravaganza and
waste, and the steam towboat and the
towed barges. The second period was
the advent of the railroad, which final
ly monOpolized the valley transporta-
ton business, and starved the boats
into the junk pile. Then came the war.
BY imposing an increased burden upon
the railroads, the war has necessitat-
ed the use of additional means Of
transportation. The third period,
which is just beginning, is a return to
the use of the waterways, and the
movement of commerce along north
and south trade channels of least re-
sistance.

Education Not a Prerequisite.

Charles Darwin was a misfit child, a
misfit youth, and a misit in young
manhood. He failed miserably in math-
ematics, the classics, and in theology.
He was an Indifferent student of medi-
cine, yet when at last he was guided
into the paths of his natural capaci-
ties he soon became the foremost nat
uralist Of his age and probably of any
age before or since.
Emerson was an educational misft,
and so were Froebel and General
Grant, and the list Of distinguished
men in all walks of life who were mis-
fits In childhood might easily be *
tended almost indefinitely. They prove
concluslvely that much of what is COM
monty called education is not q prere-
quisite for success In life.

ed on a tripod and connected by a cord
with a resistance coil. The latter is
connected with the storage batteries
under the floor of the car. When the
charge in the batteries gets low the
adjustable contact on the coil is
moved along so as to lessen the resis-
lance. Thus, with a diminishing sup
ply of electricity the power of the
light car be kept constant by adjust
ing the coil from time to time.-Popu-

FORTUNE is SAVED.
One Railroad Division C0nServeS
Big Quantity of Coal.
ELECTR|FICATI0N IS CHEAP
Tremendous Supply of Coal and Fuel
Oil Unconsumed Because Trains
Receive Their Energy From
Power Plants.

Electriication of railroads as a
mean of war economy hard to beat by
any other method yet devised for saw
ing energy and material was described
by an official of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul road. The abolition of
locomotives on II division of the
coast line of that railroad is shown to
have saved enough coal in one year
to send a United States torpedo boat
destroyer on 2,368 trips about the Brit
marines. Forty-fve such destroyers
on the coal conserved in the Rocky
Mountain division alone could be ESept
Steaming in a constant procession,
week in and week out, for the whole
year on the circuit about England, Ire
land and Scotland. The annual saving
on this division is sufficient to send
90 ocean liners of 1900 tons displace.
ment on the voyage from the United
States to France. Yet this conserva-
ton of fuel is only half of that al
ready effected on the electrified divi-
sions, and one-third of what will be ac-
cOmplished when the Cascade Noun
tain zone is added TO the electrified
mileage next year.
Great Saving in Fuel.
On the Rocky Mountain division
more than 100000 tons of coal would
have been required this year to haul
the traffic moving over the continental
divide by electricity. On the Missoula
division, also electrically operated
now, but formerly burning fuel oil,
the requirement this year would have
been 425,000 barrels of oil. The third
saving, to come when identification
under way is completed in the Ca-E-
cades, will add 375,0OO barrels of fuel
oil to the annual conservation.
Extensive reductions in passenger
train service throughout the United
States, aggregating at a recent date
16,267,02S miles of train service, have
resulted in the saving Of 100000 tons
of coal a year. The permanent saving
by electriication on the st. Paul's
Rocky Mountain division, disregarding
the saving Of oil on the Missoula dlvi-
sion, is Is per cent Of the total effected
by all the railways of the United
States through elimination of train
mileage.
Big Supply Unconsumed.
ga tremendous supply of coal and
fuel oil" said an official of the st. Psul
road, "is still unconsumed because our
trains have received their energy from
power plants instead of from steam To-
comotives and because the power
plants have derived their energy from
water power instead of coal or oil.
Here are two natural resources of the
highest Importance actually conserved
at a time when they are most essen
tial to the welfare of the nation.
"Under present conditions, with the
heaviest movement of traffic in history,
the st. Paul would have found it nee
essary to purchase a large number of
steam locomotives. 1t takes about the
same time to build an electric as u
steam locomotive, but when built one
electric is approximately the equal in
hauling power of three steam engines.
The st. Paul has in operation forty
four electric locomotives"

RUSH EQUIPMENT TO FRANCE
Within Twenty Days After Receipt of
Order First of Engines and Cars

Within twenty days after the re-

designs for special locomotives and
cars for the troops in France the first
of $50 engines and 5000 cars were
ready for shipment. The mobilization
of American manufacture for the war
has been one of the most effective
demonstrations of American Industrial
preparedness.

The difficulty of keeping the German soldiers physically fit through
cleanliness vas solved by the Bavarian pioneers who evolved this "Water
Nymph' on wheels from old discarded railroad stock. Behind the tender
of the locomotive is a water tank which supplies the bathing cars with
water heated by the fires in the locomotive and pumped into the cars
through an automatic conuivance working In conjunction with the lOcomo-

DECIDE IF SOLDIER
MUST MEET DEATH
CASE or MAN CONVICTED or De
SERTIoN PLACED BEFORE
SECRETARY BAKER.

Secretary Baker has been called
on to pass judgment in n case involv-
ing the life or death OF an enlisted
man OF the army who was convicted
by a eourtmartial Of the charge OF
desertion in time of war for the u
pose of joining or Otherwise aiding
the enemy and sentenced to be exc
cutod In the manner prescribed by
law. Pending action by the Seere-
tary none OF the officials at the War
Department will disclose the name Of
the soldier or any OF the circum-
stances connected with the ease even
to the extent of saying whether the
onense was committed in this coun-
tr yorabroad,
IN time OF war desertion IS punish
able by death or long imprisonment
at the discretion of the military au-
thorities IN the field. but the death
penalty is not inflicted usually with
out the approval OF the President or
his civil representatives, the Secre-
tary OF War. The supreme power of
the military commander in the field
in capital cases was demonstra ed
recently in the case of a soldier in
France convicted of the crimes of
rape and murder. He was shot by a
firing squad without submission of
the case to the Wal Department,
In the present case it is expected
that Secretary Baker will consult the
President before taking final action,
