MEN DESERVING OF HONOR
SkiIlfuI and Fearless Are Those Who
Sit in the Engine Cabs of
the Locomotives.

"YOu writer fellows like to talk about
the heroes of the engine cab" says
the fireman, as we near the freight
yards of B. 'The boy who is pulling
that greasy old Baldwin comes nearer
being hero than Jimmie or any of the
rest of the passenger bunch"
There is nothing cryptic in his mean
ing. He means that the freight en-
gineer, pulling a less carefully main
tanned piece of motive power, to which
has been added not only it's full work
ing capacity of cars, but as many ex-
ira as an energetic and hard-pressed
trainmaster may add, up to the risk
point of an engine failure and conse-
quent complete breakdown out upon
the main line, must keep out of the
way of the cleaning green and gold
and brass cOntraption that has the
right of way from the very moment she
starts out from the terminal. Yet it is
the freight puller and his train that is
earning the money that must be used
to pay the deficit on the limited that
whirls by him so contemptuously. For
that proud and snowy thing has never
been money-earner-and never will
be.
Across this broad America there are
10000 Freemans-sitting at the throt-
tie sides Of the big locomotives, steam
and electric, pulling freights and pas
sengers, little trains and long. With
each of them rides Responsibility. Each
of them knows that. Yet they do not
think of danger. They scorn the word
hero" They merely like to think of
themselves as men capable of handling
big job in big way. They represent
the railroads of America-an organi-
cation that has the most sensitive and
well-trained labor of any business in
the world. The man in the engine cab
is man of whom any American citi,
zen may we'll be proud.-Magazine Sec

House and Floor Plan.

A piece Of 1-inch mesh wire netting Is
needed on the south side. The window
on the east side may be removed dur
ing the summer for ventilation. The
roof Is covered with patent roofing
costing $1.10 q square, and there
are absolutely no open cracks for
drafts on either side except the south.
Once or twice a week forkful of nil
let or alfalfa is thrown in to the hens
and wheat or oats scattered over this
every morning. The hens are busy the
coolest days. When strong south
wind comes up the windows and doors
are closed. Once a month l take out
the roosts and nests which are nail
kegs, and spray with coal oil. The
low roof confines the body heat devel.
oped and keeps the hens warm, at the
same time being high enough for an at
tendant to do his work.

New Kind of WALLPAPER.

According to man well-posted on
wallpaper matters, something new in
that line probably will be shown In
this country in the next few months as
result Of it's success in Canada,
where it Is made. 1t Is known as semi
trimmed wallpaper, in which the
selvage or edge that IS left on to pre-
vent the pattern being damaged in
handling, and which has to be taken
off when the paper Is hung, Is made
very easy Of removal by means Of an
automatic perforating device that Is
patented in about every country under
the sun. Instead of having carefully
to cut the protective edge off, as in the
ordinary paper, the selvage Of the pa
per in question can be removed before
unrolling by breaking the end Of the
roll off with a quick twist of the
wrist. If It is left on until the past-
ing is done, 1t can easily be torn off.
thus obviating the need of careful cut
ting with trimming knife and straight
edge. 1t is said to have other virtues
as well.

LONDON, April 24-The British
public school boy is doing little for
England today.
Elton and Harrow. England's two
great public schools, have given up
tuck shops" and creases until after
the war.
The boys of Harrow decided on their
own initiative not to buy any more
pastry or candy at the tuck shops and
not to have their trousers pressed
while the war lasts. The boys of Elton
had measures similarly restricting
their gastronomics and their neither
garments thrust upon them.
Bread, meat and sugar, the A. B. C.s
of the Food Controllers thou shalt
not's, are included in the sweeping
ordinance the youngsters of Harrow
imposed upon themselves. They have
agreed not to buy any article of food
containing these three substances ex-
cept during the regular hours for
meals, and then to stay within the
suggested limits each week. AS for
their tailors, they're going to cut them
out altogether. The good old under

rowians from looking as though they
were ready to jump
