Found That Apparently Worthless
Bodies Are Valuable.
ONE ROAD TO UTILIZE Them
disable Portions Are Cut Up and
Made Into Siding or Roofing for
Other Cars and for Many
Other Purposes.
(By r. P. CRAWFORD, in The scienti-
fic American)

fic American)
Whenever a railroad found a few
old, WORKOUT freight cars standing on
its sidings, it was the custom to sum-
mon the steam derrick, haul the cars
out to an isolated spot, lift the bodies
off the trucks and cast them to one
side of the track. They were then set
on fire and later the metal parts were
picked up among the ashes. That was
a quick and easy way of getting rid OF
them. There are many roads that still
follow this plan; but at least one has
found that these old, apparently worth
less car bodies are worth money and
has set out to utilize them.
DismantIe Each Car.
So whenever q car is found to be no
longer capable of efficient service it Is
sidetracked at one of the division
points and there awaits the workmen's
pleasure. Each car is carefully dis
mantled. Pains are taken that the
wooden siding and roofing are dam
aged as little as possible. The disable
portions of the cars are then cut up
and made into siding or roofing for
other cars, running boards for the tops
of closed cars, or the coal doors that
are used to hold coal in box car in
case the outer door Is opened. Thou
sands of the latter are now made at n
cost Of a few cents apiece or only a
fraction of what was formerly paid for
them. Corner posts are salvaged and
used in other cars. Even crooked bolts
are Strengthened in a special machine
and used again. The trucks from many
of the smaller freight cars are en-
ployed on stock cars. And finally, frag-
ments of wood in such condition that
they are good for no specific purpose
! find use as kindling wood in starting
locomotive fires. Even wrecked cars
that formerly were burned are now sal
vaged in the same way.
Save Thousands of Dollars.
It has been found that thousands of
dollars may be saved every year in this
manner, even often charging the job
with the time spent in tearing down
the cars. Some idea of the tremendous
number that would ordinarily have
been burned may be judged from the
fact that 400 such condemned cars ac-
cumulated in the yards at Lincoln
Neb., at one time last year. With the
growth in size of freight cars in recent
years every road has found hundreds
of the cars of former days on its
hands. While all railroads have en-.
deavored to save the metal parts, the
conservation of the wood waste repre-.
sents another step in the final sorting
over and saving of every bit of second
hand material.

BIRD GONE; HE MoURNs.

Hilario, one of Bill Jarretts Fill
pino boys who works at the capitol
grounds moving grass or watering
the lawn, is mourning the loss of a
pet mynah bird.
The little fellow left his cage on
registration day and Hilario has been
seeking high and low for him ever
since. 1t is evident that somebody
from the big crowd at the capitol
grounds that day discovered the
feathered captive under the band.
stand where Hilario kept him during
working hours, and either carried him
away or turned him loose.
When Hilario went to the band
stand next morning to bring out his
little pet for the morning bath he
found him gone, and straightway the
light went from Hilario's eye and he
began to grieve as one grieves over
the loss of a good dog In fact the
name Moroso would fit him better
now than that other name his mother
gave him back in far off Cebu.
Perhaps it was Hilario's innate fond
ness for the outdoor folk, and perhaps
it was still closer connection be-
tween the imprisoned man and the i'm
prisoned bird. However that may be,

Order Whiskey Out of Oahu

If there was ever garrison town or town near
garrison that was a fit subject for presidential
proclamation wiping out the traffic in intoxicating
liquors, Honolulu is the place
If any evidence required to establish the
utter lack of deCencv or proper respect for the law
to be found in the liquor traffic Honolulu fur
nishes it.
If anyone wishes to understand what pure IN
aduterated buncombe is behind the claims to vir-
tue and regard for the law made by saloons and
liquor trafickers, he has only to study the illicit
booze record of Honolulu day by day.
Each days history shows the liquor business NOV
irg steadily downward to lower average of degra-
dation.
No of the world is fooled by the virtuous
horror of respectable whisky Dealers that the illicit
trade among the soldiers of the United States army
has steadily increased. What have these dealers
done to aid in the enforcement of the law? Where
is their influence felt? Are they unfolding the law
or are they criticising it and giving moral aid to
the supply sources of "blind pigs" and booze de-
bauches?
Every passing day puts a bIackcr tinge on the
record of the liquor traffic in this city, and the
smirch is the character skirts of everyone con-
nected with the traffic.
natural assumption might be that the respec-
table whisky dealers could combine and bring their
powerful influence to bear for the assistance of the
authorities. There is nothing to indicate however,
that such men, if there is respectablit- associated
with any phase of the liquor business, have stirred
themselves, formed any volunteer committees to CO.
operate with the authorities to the end that bold
violation and tricky evasion of the law shall cease.
The men connected with the liquor business in
Honolulu have had their chance.
They know the law. They know that the regula-
ton against liquor in the army was not the result
of fad or the temporary act of crank.
Whisky has been ordered out of the United States
army. The American citizen who violates the order
is an enemy. His status is clear. SO is the record
OF the illicit traffic clear in it's rotenness The atti
tude of the dealer is not eve will help you," but
rther is it "Why don't you ginks enforce your
law?'
Since the liquor dealers of this city and county
have conclusively proved that they are unable to
keep their merchandise out of the army the only
sensible solution is to order whisky and all of it's
variations in intoxicating liquor out the island
of Oahu.
Liquor can be ordered out of Oahu by the pres
ident. 1t should be done

"eoo1sYE, HONOLULU"

"Oh Honolulu, Pearl Of the Seas!
We love thy land, we love thy leas,
We love thy homes, we love thy hills.
We love thy rocks, we love thy rills.
Thy Royal Palms sweet welcome give
To all who come with thee to live;
To those who come for fond, short
days,
The same sweet word we hear them
say.
" Aloha De- from breeze and bough,
From hill and dale the song comes
now,
AS to our homes far DER the sea
We turn our grateful hearts from thee.
Here would we dwell; here would
we stay;
Here would we spend our life's brief
day;
But far from home the call we hear,
Come back to me- so-'Good-bye,
Dear
The hour has come that we must
part;
The pangs we feel of saddened heart:
Aloha sweet gives parting cheer;
We're going home, so-'Good-bye,
Dear !"
