Charlie Stanley, the king" refused to give
the Philadelphia gypsies permission to en-
camp.
He said he would not jeopardize the good
name of his camp by mingling with the
fortune-telling wanderers, who. he says are
Russians and not the Braziians they claim
TO be.
He said mis- gypses, numbering about
fifty, are all Rumanians and never engage
in palmistry or fortune telling as a business,
except. occasionally at private entertain
ments or charity fairs Their chief business
has been moving picture acting and horse
trading, he declares.

p. r. r. ORDERS $1,000
TONS OF STEEL RAILS
About One-Third the Entire Tonnage
Originally Asked to Be Reserved
for 1918

The Pennsylvania Railroad is distributing
orders for about $1,000 tons of standard
section rails among the various mills. This
is abou. one-third of the tonnage originally
asked to be reserved for 1918.
Just what mills had received the orders
was not announced, but II was said that a
mill in Buffalo had taken orders for 1000
tons The subsidiaries of the United States
Steel Corporation have not as yet accepted
the portion allotted to them.
The understanding today was that the
corporation mills have been asked to roll a
little more than $1,000 tons and the Beth
lehem mills a little more than 80, 900 tons.
In the last fiscal year of the Pennsylva-
MIA ending December 81, 1916, the total
amount of steel rails used was 175,O12 tons,
an increase of 12,272 over the previous
year.

FARMERS VALUE TO CITY
Advertising Man Calls Attention to
His Importance to Business

The value of the farmer to the city busi-
ness man was the subject of an address by
Irwin r. Paschall, advertising manager Of
the Farm Journal at the regular weekly
luncheon Of the Rotary Club at the Hotel
Adelphia today.
Mr.. Paschall pointed out the Importance
which the farmer has assumed in the
affairs of today. He said that the farmer
is a clear thinker who possesses a broad.
disinterested outlook The farmers strict
honesty and keen personal interest in the
nations affairs have made him a deciding
factor in our politics. Such man is the
best kind of a customer and the city bus-
ness man cannot afford to overlook him.

or repair.
Might Be Inland Harbor.
Loeb Lomond is large and beautiful
stretch of water, and if it's level is
raised by twenty-five feet ii will pro-
vide sufficient depth for the largest of
warships. 1t is likely that the autfori-
ties have in their minds the conversion
of Loeb Lomond into great inland
naval base, from which war vessels
could emerge to either coast, as they
might think fit. There is something re-
markably attractive in the idea of raw
ing great squadrons of British battle
ships, battle cruisers, light cruisers,
destroyers and submarines moored In
absolute safety away up among the
highland hills, far from the dangers OF
the ocean and also from the dangers of
enemy attack, but ready at any mo-
ment to slip out either to the Atlantic
or the North sea- There is nothing i'm
practicable in the idea, while there are
no insoluble engineering difficulties
Would Submerge Pretty Islands.
Loeb Lomond could be converted into
great inland naval base at the cost Of
much of it's beauty. The many pretty
islands which are dotted over its surface
and among winch the pleasure steamers
thread their way in the summer time
would be sunk by the raising of the level
of the loch and so would large expenses of

self would have very much larger area.

that vessels emerging from the canal
would come out into safe and sheltered
waters and could be taken afterward

yards or out into the open sea. They
would emerge from the canal good many
miles from anywhere. as il were. but pre-
sunlably the advantages of Loeb Lomond
as a naval base would be more than set

J. Columbus, secretary o. the associa-
ton. today. clears the way for the
President TO appoint such a dictator
for Washington"
Mr.. Columbus said the freight situa-
ton is growing more acute daily, and
that many business houses, which sold
out nearly all their stock during the
Christmas rush. might have to resort
to laying off store employees If they
are unable ia get new shipments or
stock into the city. The secretary
said he knew, of one merchant who will
be compelled to close his doors unless
he receives soon a large shipment OF
goods now enroute.
At the coming dinner, Ross j. An

tell Of the work of the committee ap-

B|G|NLAND HARBOR
PLANNED BY BRITAIN
Scotch Writer Sees Loeb Lo-
m0nd as Future Haven
for Warships.
BY w. L. MANSON.
Especial Correspondence of The Even
ing Star and Chicago Daily NewsD

GLASGOW, Scotland. December l.
For a considerable time there have been
reports that the British board of adj
for a big ship canal to join the firth
of Clyde to the west coast of Scotland.
These reports are now confirmed They
provide for canal from the firth of
Forth to Loeb Lomond and thence out
to Loeb Long, an offshoot of the firth
of Clyde, and so to the open sea The
Mid-Scotland Ship Canal National As
ISOLATION has been informed that the
admiralty is disposed to favor the Loeb
Lomond route on naval grounds. The
association has been working hard for
q long time past in favor of canal by
another route altogether.
At present the Loeb Lomond route
seems to be most in official favor. This
route would take the canal from the
firth Of Forth, as far up as that estu-
airy is navigable for large vessels, by
way of low lying ground to the south
ern end OF Loeb Lomond. The north
ern end of Loeb Lomond is only sep
ardted from Loeb Long by two or three
miles of land. and it would be an easy
matter TO cut through these two or
three miles and join the inland loch
to the sea loch, and SO to the firth of
Clyde.
pab1e of carrying large war vessels it
would be necessary to raise the level
of Loeb Lomond by about twenty-five
feet and a number of locks would be
required between Loeb Lomond and
Loeb Long. as we'll as elsewhere on the
a sea level canal. and therein would lie
one of its principal disadvantages.
