Would End Friction.

President Wilson sent a letter to
Chairman Stone, of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, urging ac-
ton during this session of Congress
on the treaty to indemnify Colombia
for the SEPARATION of Panama.
1t has been indicated recently that
there would be no action on the Col
ombia treaty during this session, but
the President is very anxious that it
be ratified, so as to clear away one OF
the NOSE potent sources OF friction
in Pan American relations.

TO Settle Labor Disputes.

Labor strikes in Baltimore may be
relegated to the realm of the obsolete
if plans materalize which are being
considered by the local Federation OF
Labor. At the annual convention OF
the Fcderations of Maryland and the
District of Columbia, which will be
held at Cumberland in April, resolu-
ton will be introduced asking for au-
authority to form board of arbitra-
ton to which every dispute between
employers and employees may be sub
mitted.

Mile OF Shade Trees For Each
County.

Announcement is just made by the
State Board of Forestry, Baltimore,
; that enough trees for one mile of
highway planting in each county will
be furnished to the person or organi-
zation who. will agree to plant them.
There are thousands of miles of inn
proved highways in need of planting
and but few miles that are shaded
and made attractive by suitable trees
properly spaced. There is particular
need in the vicinity of towns and
through residential communities for
roadside planting. Here is a chance
for civic organizations, business
mems clubs, women's clubs and indi-
viduals, at small expense to do some
real constructive work for the COM
munity to help beautify the high
ways which is next only to the build
ing and maintenance of the roads
themselves. TERMS: The State
Board of Forestry will furnish the
trees f. 0. b., College Park and a
Forester to superintend the planting,
the applicant to pay the freight or
expressage on the trees, furnish the
needed help to the forester for plant
ing, and take care of the forester
while engaged in the work. CoNDI-
TIoNs: Cd Trees must be planted
within the right-o of-way of an improv-
ed State or County highway, but not
within incorporated towns; (2) the
consent of the abutting land owners
must be secured for the planting; CD
the planting location must be APPROX
ed by the State Forester.
The planting should be done in the
early spring and those who apply
first will receive first consideration.

The giant mussel does not contain u

The basis of truth is probably this:
that there is a species of giant sea
monster lurking in the submarine
caves off the Bahamas which, like its
near relative of the deep seas, flashes
luminous, pearl-lke lure to attract
smaller fishes. This has been con-
founded with the perfectly harmless

NOISY STREET CAR CROSSING
Invention Designed to Remove Cause
of Much Annoyance in the
Larger Cities.

There are many objections raised
against the noisy hammering Of tire
street car as 1t passes over the juno
tion of two tracks. In the first place,
the residents of the vicinity raise their
protest, for every car passing in either
direction gives three or four resound-
ing shocks us the wheels strike the
channels of the crossing. This Is no
more agreeable to the management Of
the railway company than to the per-
sons living along the line, for to the
engineer it means waste. The expert
ence is hard on the track and the roll
ing stock and the life of the metal
crossing and the cars would be greatly
prolonged if the pounding referred to
could be eliminated. The problem Is
being given some considerable atten-
ton at the present moment in many
directions and patent papers have
been recently granted to S. r. Meeker
of this city for new idea in the con-
struction,of these crossings which may
solve the matter of eliminating the
noise and pounding, according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Ordinarily the weight Of the car as
it moves along is supported by the
broad surface of the wheel, the fange
of which serves only to keep the
wheel in its proper place on the track.
The new crossing is constructed so
that as the wheels approach the cross
ing track, they travel along. on the
fange, and the floor of the channel
through which they move being per-
fectly level, there is no concussion.
The wheels make but single revolu-
ton on the flange and then return to
their normal position.

Meanwhile the people whose busl-
ness had always been to make the HI
viera attractive, were looking each
other in the face. They saw nothing
but ruin ahead. But something desper-
ate had to be done, for the living of
many thousands depended on their de-
ciSion and its success. just as brave
ly rs the young men were fighting IN
the North, the older men in the South
put their backs to the burden. They
got no sympathy front outside. They
must stand together and save the Ri

Casino Doing Its "Bit."
Few hotels were to remain shut for
the season, except those which were
needed for hospitals. The shops were
to do business as usual" and n great
petition was sent to the Casino not TO
keep its doors closed: II was more
sympathetic" it was more patriotic
to open them. The SOciete saw the
justice of this, since the life of the
Riviera might hang on their world.
Consent was given, though it looked
as if it meant large monetary loss;
and on January l, 1915, when the war
was six months old, the Casino at
Monte Carlo began to do its "bit' by
the public, as already it was doing for
its employees.
BY this time everything was getting
into full swing. But what Il different
Everything" from what we had all
known! Ii you were not doing some
good work, public or private, You
were as much ashamed of yourself as
if you had stayed in London. Not even
an automobile dared to show its nose
unless it had Red Cross on it. And
without its duStraiSing hordcS of mo-
tors the Riviera began to be Won
drous new place, that had to be dis
covered all over again. When you had
finished your daily work of visiting
the poor or of suffering in some rock
village or hospital, when you had put
together your pile of knitted socks, or
the bandages you had promised to
make, you could actually go for quiet
walk-a JOY forgotten since highpow-
cred cars took over the Riviera.

it wasn't fully realized yet how kindly,
how cleverly they could be organized

ais. But, well or wounded, they were
a gay crowd. They made Mentone
picturesque with their costumes and
their camp fires and their games in the
streets.
Indeed, something in the sunshine
and salt tang of the sea made all the
dwellers in Riviera hospitals gay.
There were few sad sights, for wound
ed men simply bounded back to health
again, and it was good to meet them
on the Promenade des Anglais at Nice,
on the Boulevard de la Croisette at
Cannes, or the front at little Mentone.
Already the Monte Carlo casino had
begun organizing its Red Cross chari-
ties; many women and girls in society
had given up everything in order to
train for hospital work; but ii was

Planning For War.

New York, Feb. 16.-The railroads
of the United States today informed
President Wilson that the resources
of their organization were at the dis
posal of the Government in the event
or war.
Presidents or other officials OF Is
of the roads were appointed as a
special committee on national defense,
which will work in conjunction with
the commanders of the four depart

Auburn, N. Y, Feb. 19.-Feeding

ducks that have taken refuge in the

and along the Seneca river was begun

Acres of the frozen surface of the

Months passed. Sam thought that
Nabob had forgotten. But the two men
never spoke, and they had separate
boats.
Nabob was supposed to have left the

scoffed at the idea. Secretly, however,
he was on the alert.

a dozen times into the inert heap OF
clothing in the shack. Sam never
stirred.
Satisfied that his victim was dead,
Nabob took Sans boat and equipment
and started to fly. He meant to thread
