more about his qualifications than
DIR. Keen does" President Stamm vol
unteered.
You'll admit that, won't you, doc
tor?" Director Boyer queried, laugh
ingly.
DR.. Keen only nodded.
Mr.. Tracy then suggested the two
architects should consult together on
the designing of the schools. DR..
Keen agreed to incorporate this in
his motion.
Directors Enders and Yates both
made short statements pointing to
the probable effect the present war
may have upon the schools in de-
creasing the enrolment. and said that
possibly only part of the program
should be carried out at once. Mr..
Euders also declared the residents I'm

RAILROAD RUMBLES
No Reason For Cutting
Regular Train Service;
Would Retard Traffic

New York, May 4.-W.i ]. Black,
passenger traffic manager of the
Santa F'e svstem. says that he sees
no reason for the abandonment of
passenger trains at this time on ac-
count of the soldier movement. He
believes passenger business of rail-
roads will be increased rather than
decreased by the war. He says:
"All talk of abandoning passenger
trains on account of soldier move
ment to me seems ahead of time. At
present and for some time to come
troop movements will be largely re-
cruits in carload or less.
Would Rctard Traffic
Elimination of a part of existing
passenger train service would retard
such movements. 1t is therefore es-
sential to continue present service
to protect recruit movements.
During the Mexican trouble the
railroads between Chicago and the
Southwest handled over 100000
troops, and we did not know they
were on our rails. OF course. as in
the Mexican trouble the railroads
will, where necessary, discontinue
special service; that is, trains for
fairs and excursions. OF course,
there may be dropping off in some
lines of passenger travel, but as a
whole. after things have become ad-
justed, | believe there will not be
much difference in the number of
passenger trains and in passenger
receipts compared with present earn
ingS.'

MAY HOLD UP
PERDIX PLANS
Lumber on Hand For Houses
For Laborers; More New
Tracks

Plans for additional storage track
facilities, and colonizing foreign la
borers at Perdix, on the Middle
Division of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. it is reported. have been de-
layed. War conditions may prevent
this work from being carried out for
several months.
1t is the purpose of the company
to place additional tracks in the
vicinity of UPerdiX, and erect a
number of houses for the trackmen
and employees of the construction
gang. At present, it is said the
Marysville yards are crowded and
that with more tracks at PerdiX re-
lief from the congestions will be pos
sible. The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad
Company desires to keep it's lines
and yards free from any tie-ups, and
win provide additional room and ia
cilities for handling freight prompt
ly, wherever it is possible.
Lumber Off Buildings
Large quantities of lumber have
been delivered at Perdix for the
homes for the foreign laborers.
However. at present laborers are
scarce, and it is not known definitely
as to when work on the frame
buildings at PerdiX will start. Plans
call for colony of laborers along
the River Front.
These plans have caused vigorous
objections among the cottagers who
reside along the river between
Marysville and Cove. The site of
the homes for the laborers is direct
ly in the path used by the cottagers
in reaching the river. 1t is under
stood an appeal will be made to
superintendent n. W. Smith to erect
the shanties further east

that Professor Laird would probably

Reading May Eliminate
Retail Coal Merchants

There is a rumor that, if the
price of anthracite continues to
soar, the Reading Coal and Iron
Company may establish its own
yards in the cities and sell direct to
the consumer. Many years ago the
Reading maintained its own yards
in Philadelphia, when orders for fuel
were accepted at all telegraph off,
ces.
IF this is done, it will not be sur
prising to the dealers as well as the
consumers. For some time the be-
lief has been growing that the COM
pany had something like this in view
because of the scant shipments to
some cities.
THE consumers are wondering if
they will profit by the change, or
whether the company will take the
profit that now goes to the dealers.

Druggist Tells How to Cure

Free Prescription Can Be Filled At

Mr.. H. J. Brown, a Cleveland man.

His sister sought the best medical
men in Europe in the hope that she
might find something which would

how to use 1t. She had it filed at
the drug store and gave it to him
secretly. The results were startling.
In few weeks he was completely
cured. That was over ten years ago
and he has not touched a drop since.
