RAILROAD MAN is ARTISTIC
Planted Vines Around His Tower That
It Would Not Be Eyesore to
Travelling Public.

The towerman Of the Southern Pa
cit1c railroad at Pomona, Cal, is an
exception to most men in his line Of
business, says writer in Boys
World. He is not satisfied to have his
tower looked upon by the villagers
and travelling public as an eyesore.
Consequently he has planted vines
around it and trained them into de-
signs, so as to conceal the unsightly
outlines of his "nest." He has trained
some of the vines to grow into the
shape Of the letters IS" and "P," the
initials of the road for which he works.
He has also made a neat border around
his yard with whitewashed stones, and
planted variety Of flowers, and even
vegetables. In the yard he has built
a tiny house to add variety to the
landscape. He raises enough vegeta-
bles in this unique garden for the use
of his family.

Motorcycle for Hunting.

The feat of the horseback rider
of cowboy days who could kill game
or an enemy while riding full tilt is
equaled, IL not surpassed, by a nat
uralist and taxidermist who shoots
some of his quarry while riding at
high speed on his motorcycle, accord
ing to the Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. He has devised clamp to hold
his loaded shotgun above the gasoline
tank of his cycle, while q sling at
tached to the weapon passes over his
shoulder. His method is to ride swift
ly along the road and, when he sees
desirable bird perched near the high
way, he seizes his gun and fires upon
it without slackening speed. This, of
course, involves skill In riding with.
out touching the handlebars. BY this
spectacular method the naturalist is
able to fell birds which would take
flight If approached by stealth.

AUTOS TO ASSIST RAILWAYS
Freight Cars Needed for Shipment of
Munitions, and Car Dealers Urged
to Unload Promptly.

Automobile dealers throughout the
country are being urged to aid the gov
eminent in every way possible to in
crease the efficiency of railroads. With
huge quantities of munitions that must
be moved expeditiously, 1t is absolute
ly necessary that the loading and I'M
loading of other freight be done with
out undue delay. Railroads are now
required to do several times as much
work as in ordinary times. It is neces-
sary, therefore, that freight cars be
kept on the move and motorcar deal
ers are being urged to unload their
shipments promptly.

Plans Completed.

Construction plans for linking up
the railways of Sweden and Finland
have been drawn up and it is expect
ed that the connection will be estab-

bridge over the Tornea river, be-
tween Tornea and Haparanda, is to
be q single-track bridge, but in view
of the fact that there is a difference
of gauge between Swedish and Rus
sian railways, two sets of rails will
be laid on it, so that the bridge may
be used by both Russian and Swe-
dish rolling stock, though not simulta-
neously.

was quiet community and the district
was sparsely settled. His duties were
by no means OnerOus. He felt himself
equal to any occasion, however. He

one evening after his usual call Mat

her main thoughts We're of preparation
and training as a schoolteacher, and
not at all interested in love affairs

end of the county, at WOOdville, lives
n Mr.. Mark Ridley, with his sister.

TEUT0NS AT LINE
 HELD BY RUSSIANS
Expect to Crush Through by
 Batterin8 Movement

Reports from both sides in the struggle in Rumania indicate that the Russians have not reached the limo of tho Sereth, to which they have fallen back while fighting strong rear guard at actions
 Berlin today announces that troops of the Ninth army under Field Mar sha1 Won Mackensen are now before Fokshani, which is on the fortified line which the Russians have been preparing and which follows in a gen. eral way tho course of the Sereth. Ending at the Danube between Braila and Galata, this line extends north westward through Moldavia, in the di- rection of the western Moldavian frontier
 It Is here, according to present in- dtcations, that the Russians count upon bringing Field Marshal Won Mackensen's advance to 8 halt. Fail ing in this purpose, it has been point ed out, they will be exposed on their front from Galata southward to a pos sible crumpling-up process through a turning movement and compel their Besaarabi territory to withstand in- vasions north of the Danube and of the line of the Pruth.
 Apparently the Teutonic effort to break this line Is to be a strong one as today's Berlin statement records smashing attacks upon Russian lines at several points in which prisoners were taken and ground gained. Mean while the drive at tho right flank of the Russians in this region, along the western Moldavian frontier, Is con- tinuing unabatsd and further progress in the valleys, notably in the Suchit- ga and Putna regions, Is announced.
 On the Danube, the security of Braila has been further imperilled, ac- cording to the Berlin report, by new advance of the Teutonic forces on the Dobrudja side of the river where the Russians have been driven back fur ther into the northwestern corner of the province opposite Braila.
 Elsewhere in the field of war no inn portant operations are recorded in any of tho official accounts, patrol and artillery activity furnishing the mater ial for the bulk of the statements.

German Press Says Allies Must Feel Gold Steel

Our answer can only be given on the battlefield"
 The Vossische Zeitung says: "All possibility of further negotiations has disappeared under this scornful re- ply. There is only one rejoinder, namely, warfare until the cold steel of our arms has brought the fever temperature of our enemies down to something near normal"
 The Berlin Tageblatt says: we ~would gladly have written Peace be unto thee over the gate of the new year. but it would he childish to seek In the Entente's reply any expressions but those of an absolute No Who In the world can now doubt that the Entente plans, which aim at the dis mem berment Of Germany, and Tur- Key will be resolutely repelled by the German people?""
 The Kreuzzeitung says "The form of the Entente's rejection makes it an insult. Our reply can only be given With the sword"
