lease Blattel, the young man was
wlurled around with the wheel. thus

ATTACK FARE RATES
OF DOMINION ROAD
Patrons Ask for Hearing by Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

Formal application for a hearing
on the reasonableness of rates on the
Washington and Old Dominion rail-
way has been filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission by c. Elton
James and other patrons OF that road.
The applicants are prepared to at
tack the rates as unreasonable in
view of the withdrawal of the free
transfer privilege. Withdrawal OF
this privilege was sustained by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
an opinion in which the commission
held that it had no jurisdiction over
the Capital Traction Company, which
was a party to the transfer arrange
ment.
In its decision the Commission an.
nounced that II would keep the case
open for a period OF fifteen days to
give the complsinants opportunity
to contest the .reasonableness OF the
rates. The previous case had been
confined to the question OF jurisdic.
ton.
Formal petition for the hearing was
filed with the commission by Robert
H. Turner. who appeared with E. Hill
ton jackson as counsel for the patrons
OF the road in the transfer tight. The

pany was represented by Wilton ].

TELLS WHY SAVAGES
HAVE PERFECT TEETH
Because They Don't Eat Like CiH-
Ezed Persons, Says Lecturer.

PHILADELPHIA. June s.-why do
the natives of interior Africa. who
have never looked a dentist in the
face and can't tell the difference be-
tween a tooth brush and q spade
possess perfect teeth, while the teeth
of the average American need almost
constant attention?
DR.. Herman Prinz, Of the EvanS
Dental Institute, declared yesterday
IL was because the native doesn't
swallow half a dozen oysters, gulp
down a dish Of hot soup, sip a cold
cocktail, smoke q cigar, drink a cup
Of boiling hot coffee, and then partake
Of some ice cream at the same sitting,
as the American business man does.

out he had received the following
tribute from across the water:
''To Mr.. Bill Smart, Paducah:
"Sir-The Queen has read the verses
which you composed in her honor.
Greatly touched by your senti-
ments OF sympathy and by the evil
dsnce OF esteem in which you hold
Belgium, her majesty charges me to
express to you her best thanks.

visits Mrs. Dewey.
Another OF Bills" better poems
was one written upon the passing Of
Admiral Dewey. Mrs. Dewey holds
the poem in high regard and upon
hearing he was in town invited him
TO visit her, which he did yesterday
afternoon.
While Bits ambition is to become
an orator-he has already graduated
from a prominent school in oratory in
Pittsburgh-he feels that during the
present stressful times It Is his duty
to remain on his Texan ranch and
help replenish the diminishing food
supply.
Here is the poem which 'Buckskin
Biz wrote as he stood on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue yesterday morning and
watched the veterans in gray" file by:
"To the Thin Gray Line"
! stood beneath the vaulted sky
And saw the thin gray line 90 by.
And my pulsing heart was thrilled with
pride
As I beheld the martial stride
OF those gallant heroes-olithe and
gay
The men who wore the Southern gray.
The men who stood for Southern rights.
Through many brave and gallant fights.
And made the Northern foeman feel
The power Of their strength and steel
Gallant men 30 fair and tall
Whose brawny arms served duty's call.
And drew their swords 50 keen and
bright
For principles Of truth and right
They did their duty true and grand
And gave their all for the dear South
land.
The men who fought in sixty-ons
Are now at last in Washington,
Not as foes with hearts OF hate,
But guests Of honor-guests OF state
Gallant men 30 true and grand
Heroes from the Dear Southland.
Brothers Of a brotherhood
The nations pride-the nations good
The wounds that bled on battlefield
Are now quite welfare now now quite
healed
And scars that once were open wounds
Are now quite healed with loves COM
pounds.
Again the North and South Join hands
Bound by friendships holy bands,
Where patriots zeal will ne'er fade
Beneath "Old Glory's" loving shade.
Let's give three cheers and a tiger. too.
For those heroes, brave and true.
Let's pay our homage here today
To this thin line Of gallant gray.
And extend a thousand Joys
To those brave old Southern Boys
Who did their duty. true and grand.
And gave their all for their Southland.
