FINALLY STRIKES A CHORD
sation for Struggles of ANA
teur Orchestra.

Sometimes, of a witchjng night
when we all are keyed for the music
and outside circumstances behave In
normal fashion, there comes an expert
ence worth all the years of scratchy
scales that went before, says writer
in the Atlantic Monthly. We are in
the midst Of the Larghetto, in the "Sec-
ond Symphony" perhaps. I am not
conducting, neither is Endicott. Per-
haps Beethoven prefers to conduct the
Larghetto himself. And then, sudden
ly, as one sometimes on a journey be-
comes wildly aware of breeze and
blue distance, and firm hills beneath
his feet, l really hear the chord that
we are playing. 1t is no longer a meas.
ured flow of mingled sound, but dis
tinct, exquisite, richly personal to me.
There is the queer little rush of the
accent that comes from the first violin
when Margaret is really stirred; the
cello's full response, vibrant but soft
with hidden masses of covered tone. ]
can feel my own little second fiddle
quivering beneath my bow. There is
some curious connecting of the spirit
in the playing Of a chord. Again and
again we find ii. Probably these mo.
ments are what we live for, varied
though our programs always are.

DOGS TAIL A SAFETY VALVE
Scientific Explanation of Reason TO,
Wagging With Which We Are All
of Us Familiar.

A dog whips his tail to and fro to ex.
press feelings he cannot put into
words.
1t is his own code and varies &C.
cordlng to the message he wishes to
flash on his rearward semaphore. He
has a short twitching motion that ex.
presses anxiety and interest, violent
flashing that makes known his enthusl.
assn and affection, a steady whipping
from side to side that spells hunger,
and motionless droop that signals de.
feat and encouragement. Canine ex.
perts have always been able to read
these wigwaggings, but 1t took science
to explain why the dog used them.
When dog is pleased and delighted
he must have some outlet for his feel
ings. Just as bashful boy twirls his
cap or twists about in his chair, or q
person tickled by some humorous sally
rolls on the floor and holds his sides,
the dog wags his tail. The human
beings in the situations described
above are striving to relieve the strain
on their nerves. Embarrassment must
be relieved through some outward con.
vulsion of the muscles.
The dog becomes filled with Joy and
his tail, like q safety valve, takes the
pressure off his nervous system

TELLS OF EMPLOYEES STAND
Railroad Brotherhood President Claims
That Men Are a Unit Against All
Compulsory Arbitration.

Railroad employees in the United
States and Canada are a unit against
compulsory arbitration; they hold that
until some more satisfactory method
of adjusting disputes is reached, strikes
ard leckOutS are preferable to any
plain fact of tho matter is that both
investigation and arbitration have been
killed in the house of their friends.
The greatest railroad wage movements
in this country were settled either by
mediation or arbitration and it would
hardly be fair to assert that fear
prompted these arrangements for set

and good judgment, applied to every
phase of the controversy, We're reSpon-
sible for the decision to agree to a
peaceable method of adjustment. AS
| long as it lasted, which was only as
long as the neutral arbitrators were
practical men, fair application of the
plan of voluntary agreement to submit
disputed questions for decision to an
impartial board with the understand
ing that the terms of settlement would
be accepted for q given period, was the
most satisfactory method of settling
controversies without strike or lock-
out. These agreements of honor in
the beginning We're observed by both
sides and gave greater satisfaction
than undoubtedly would have resulted
if either forced employment or unen-
forced service had been demanded I'M

Railroad controversies were settled
in 1910 by experienced men and there
was little disposition to question the
intent of the award by either the rail
roads or their employees, for the rea-
son that the arbitrator selected I'M

CANADA'S BONUS
TO FARM LABORERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de.
mand that is made upon it for food
Stutfs, finds itself almost in the throes
of labor famine. A novel means Of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
16O acres free as homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been big pro-
ducer of grain and it is estimated that
~5here is shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to go to war, and
1t is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canadas need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once A farmland will mako his on
try for one Of the 160-acre farms, sat
isfy the Government that he is work
ing for farmer and that time will ap-
ply as residence on the land filed for,
just the same as if he was actually
living on it.-Advertisement.

Brazil Extending Lines.

The president of Brazil has granted
a concession for the construction and
operation of railroad from Cuyaba,
the capital of the state of Matte Gros-
so, to connect with the Araraquara rail-
road. The total extension will be about
620 miles in length and will furnish
direct railroad communication between
the city Of Cuyaba and the ports of
Rio and Santos.

Many Deaths of Trespassers.

More than 5000 trespassers on
American railroad tracks are killed
every year. For these deaths the
companies are not responsible. AS
showing that the safety-first movement
has taken firm hold on railroad man
agement, the Pennsylvania company Is
able to boast that the past was the
third consecutive year in which it had
no fatal accidents to passengers,
though in 1916 1t carried no less than
196,000000.

17-YEAR LOCUST AGAIN DUE
dcted in Pennsylvania by Col
lege Professor.

The "17-year-locust" is due in
Pennsylvania this year. according
to c. H. Hadley, Jr.. in charge
of entomology extension at State col
lege. The pest is what is known as
brood eight of the periodical cl-
cada," and it appeared here last in
1900.
This is one of the largest insect
broods to occur in this state" Hadley
says. while locusts are usually of
importance mainly because Of the pop
ular interest aroused, it is quite pos
sble that considerable damage may be
caused in those places where the in
sects appear in unusual abundance. y
