(Henry Edward Warner, in Richmond

l don't know why it is that !
Must have my mind on pumpkin pie
About the time that frost impends
And vines are dying at the ends!
l might devote my deepest thought
To themes with weighty import fraught,
And thus extend my mental sky
But.I can only think of pie!
0 Pumpkin Pie. 0 wondrous stuff,
OF which was never made enough,
o yellow pumpkin on the vine.
Bewitching, golden friend o mine.
o pumpkin cut and mashed and mixed
With milk and eggs, with spices liked,
Then spread on shortened crust, hooray.
We're having pumpkin pie today.
When from the oven comes the pie
Drowned in pan, its filing high,
The crust's edge crinkled crisp and
sweet
What is on Earth more fair to eat?
Cut into quarters when itss cool
He who would run would be Fool;
For never had the gods such food
To put them in merry mood.
So that's the reason, friends, that I
Have mind and soul on Pumpkin Pie
There is the only theme l write,
The only thought can invite,
No foolish, frivolous. fevered lines
To song, to women or to wines;
No lofty ode, no measures high
But just these lines to Pumpkin Pie!

Michigan Public Schools
Will Train Mechanics

Lansing, Mich, June 26.-Plans are
being considered and data Of wide
range gathered by the State Board of
Education and leading manual train
ing instructors Of Michigan with the
idea of shaping manual training to
meet as far as possible the needs of
war. 1t is expected that great inroads
will be made on the ranks OF skilled
mechanics and efforts to meet the
need are we'll under way.
One phase OF this work receiving
particular attention is the training of
women to take mems places in the
factories, Courses are being prepared
not only in shop work for them,
but lectures are being planned on
safety methods, proper dress and sani-
tation, and the health and moral
aspects Of such work.
The manual training instructors
plan to open their courses to semi
skilled men lin various mechanical
branches as far as facilities permit.
The major part of this preparation
Is being undertaken by John H. Try

Cass Technical High school, Detroit,
and E. G. Allen, instructor in the

Lisbon, Portugal, June 5.-The war
has reached Portugal in earnest and
drastic measures are being put into
effect by the government to ensure
bread for the people. Confectionery
and cake no longer can be sold. All
persons possessing supplies of -four

The Lisbon streets, like those OF
London, now are in darkness after
nightfall, as the gas factories have
ceased operations. Electric street
cars now are operated only up to II

causing great losses to theaters and

ROADS FIND LITTLE
COMFORT IN RULING
Lines to Chicago Will Benefit
Slightly by Rise in Glass
Rates East of the Mis-
sissippi River.

Railroad freight men in Omaha IRE
not able to gather much comfort fr
the ruling of the Interstate Commerce
commission, refusing to permit the
lines to make a horizontal increase OF
Is per cent in freight rates.
While the local railroad men are
not disposed to criticise the ruling. OF
the commission, they all assert that
they are disappointed. They say that
in presenting the case they made a
strong showing and really expected
that the increase would be permitted.
The Omaha Chicago lines will bene-
ft by the increase permitted across
Illinois and up to the Mississippi river,
but west OF the river they will haul
every commodity except coal and coke
at the old rate. In other words. an
increase is permitted in class rates up
TO the river, but no. west OF there,
Under this ruling, the Union PACING
and Missouri Pacific are shut out OF
any chance in the increase on COM
modify rates. However, they will get
their share OF the increase on the
rates on coal and coke that happens
to be turned over by other lines.
While the decision is not final and
the entire rate question may come up
before commission October 28, the
date of the expiration OF the .sus.
pension OF the proposed tariffs. local
railroad men are not looking for any
particular relief at that time. They
assert that at the hearing before the
commission they presented their case
in detail and there is nothing more to
add, so far as they know.
Coal and Coke Excepted.
General Manager Walters Of the
Northwestern, last night, when in
formed of the action OF the Interstate
Commerce commission, holding up
until October 28, the proposed Is per
cent increase in freight rates, which
ali OF the roads had asked and which
was expected to have became effee-
tive July ], said:
~ see the commission has excluded
coal and coke from the suspension or
der, which take It to mean that the
western roads will be permitted to ap-
ply the increased rates to the handling
OF these commodities.
at is impossible to state the exact
date when the increased rates will be
applied to coal and coke. First the
tariffs must be published and the re-
quired thirty days notice given; After
that the rate will be in effect"
Coal furnishes an enormous tonnage
for the western roads and as the de.
cision of the commission is handed
down in time so the increase can be
applied in handling the stocks to be
brought in for next fall and winter,
railroad freight officials are pretty
well satisfied with the outcome OF .ef-
fort to secure all around higher
freight rates.
