Our strongest Muscles,

The strongest muscle in the human body Is the gluteus maximus. Hardly IL movement ui the lower cXtlemities can be made without bringing it into play. bui its chief duty is to balance the pelvis on tile head e the thigh bone. It assists in carrying the les forward and outward In walking. and without its aid any movement of the body from the hips would be impossi hle.
 As 1t is the strongest, SD is 1t also the largest muscle we possess. In the full grown man it can exert force of 1l0 pounds to the square inch of its section in the thickest part.
 Another strong muscle, which is situ- uted in the calf of the leg, is capable of sustaining seven times the weight of the body. The great tendon, which is inserted in the heel bone and which is called tendon achilles. is also of sin gular strength. When removed from the body it has sustained a weight of POGO pounds, yet sometimes by the sudden action of the muscles of the calf, to which it belongs, 1t has been snapped across.

ueved VIII Go Far Toward
Solving Car Shortage.

ton. shippers of Tidewater coal have
just pledged themselves to the utmost
cooperation with the railroads in
every possible way. with the result
that railroad officials believe their ac-
ton will result in the saving Of 133.-
900 coal cars in addition to greatly
reducing the delays OF cars at the
various ports while waiting to be I'M
loaded. Efforts along these lines have
been underway for some time
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company yesterday issued the follow
ing statement:
Shippers of Tidewater bituminous
coal have agreed to pool their coal at
the ports Of Hampton Roads. New
York, Philadelphia. and Baltimore. It
is estimated that the pooling arrange
ment will effect a saving in the use
of coal cars that will enable the rail-
roads to haul to those ports 6,640.000
tons more than they did last year; that
is to say, during the current year they
should be enabled to haul more than
100000 tons. The pooling arrange
ment was brought about by the con-
certed efforts of the committee on coal
production of the Council Of National
Defense and the Railroads War Board.
