RAILROAD RUMBLES
STORAGE COAL
IS DISAPPEARING
Big Pile at York Grows Less
Daily; Use Large Steam
' Shovel

York. Pa, Feb. 2.-The distribution
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's surplus coal supply, which was
stored here more than year ago for
use on the Baltimore division of the
road, has been in progress during the
past several weeks. Approximately
10000 tons have been moved from the
coal storage yard. George E. Strauss
baugh, foreman at the local shops, is
in charge of loading the coal, and
about twenty-five men from the mas
ter mechanics force are engaged in
the work.
In the fall of 1915. when there was
talk of an impending strike among the
coal miners, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company stored an immense
supply of coal all over the system.
Approximately $4,000 tons of bitumi-
nous coal were stored here and big
surplus was stored at Harrisburg, To-
monium, Md, and other points on this
portion of the road.
Distribution Starts
Some time ago the railroad officials
decided to distribute this surplus coal,
and the work of moving it from the
North End coal storage yard was COM
menced about three weeks ago. A
number of laborers were brought here
and the work has progressed with con-
siderable rapidity. In order to facili-
tate the work steam shovel and a
clam shell dredge We're shipped here
and are being used to load the coal on
the cars. An average of twenty cars
of. coal are loaded and shipped from
York daily. The cars are loaded from
the two railroad sidings, several hun
dred feet in length and laid on top of
the two piles of coal. 1t is altogether
probable that the entire supply of coal
will be moved from here, it is said.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
BE AN INDIVIDUAL

to the forward or rear end OF the
platform, but most individuals seem
almost magnetized into attaching
themselves to the central group.
In life the people who get on,
Aho amount to something, are not
those. who are lost in the central
group of the ordinary and average,
but those rather who have the
courage to separate themselves ana
seek out places where they cam as
sert their own personality. One
doesn't gain success by trying to
find foothold on the ladder of sue
cess at the exact point where a
group is already struggling.
The ladder of success is wide.
There is room for numberless peo-
pie thereon. but they have to find
their own places.
Studying yourself as an individ-
ual, finding your own points of diff
ference. and seeking progress along
individual lines separated from
great mass movements, is the real
way to assure yourself of success in
forging ahead.
Remember that ".,ou are a person"
that your experiences may be SINH
lar to everyone else's, that your de-
sires may be simply world-old repe-
titions of human nature, that your
sorrows and fluctuations are oft
repeated Stories-but that in spite of
all this they are for the time being
yours
This means that you haven't the
right TO force a description of them
on anyone else and that you cam
not expect anyone else to enter
into them and share them fully.
You are an individual. You must
go through your own experiences.
You must work out your own saliva
ton.

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Animals huddle together for
warmth or protection, but human be-
ings have to meet their crises alone.
They have to, whether they like it or
not. The Scotch say. Each of us
maun dree his ain weird" And there
lies the whole matter in nutshell.
Our SORROWS. our joys-al of our
experiences, in fact-befall us as IN
dividuals and no one can share them
with us.
\ A little girl know used to say
whenever she was told, children
don't do that" and Little girls al
ways do this" Yes. but I'm n per-
son."
A wonderful bit of philosophy the
child had if she had followed 1t far
enough.
such of us ought to remember
that he or she is an individual-"a
person" But besides being an In
dividual there must be the con-
sciousness of all the other individ-
uals who. for social and great nat
ural reasons. have to be banded to-
gether into groups. One has simply
to me conscious of the two things
and not to subordinate one to the
other.
There is no better illustration of
this than the foolish way we all
"huddle'' in the cars. People come
rushing along and crush and scram-
bic and endure the utmost discom-
fort just because 1t doesn't occur
TO them to separate themselves from
the crowd.
Watch for yourself some day. See
one man or woman after another
running down the stairs and attach
ing himself or herself to the fringes
of the central group waiting in a
subway station. A few people walk

sidewalks were Uttered with cradles,
chairs and tables-meager exhibits
testifying to the poverty of the neigh
borhood.
Those driven from their homes
found refuge from the cold at Hull
House Settlement, hospitals, police
stations and in stores whose proprie
tors when alarmed by the explosion
opened their doors.
In one little grocery store there was
n scene typical of many others. The
place was crowded with excited men
and women crying and talking eXcit-
edly in Yiddish. Among them was
Mrs. John LancowslI. She wore a
night gown, a shawl, one slipper and
one boot.
No Chance to Escape
She had brought her six children
safety out of the building but in the
excitement had lost them again. The
oldest she said was 10.
Patrick Donohu, an assistant fire
marshal. said that when he reached
the scene great flame of gas was
leaping across West Fourteenth place.
"A lot of those people," he said,
were in bed asleep and had no chance
to escape. Where gas and flames did
not cut them off falling stairways and
crumbling walls did"
Others who were upon the scene
early dSSelltu lllil llltN SAW WOIllSll
with hair and clothing ablaze carrying
their babies into the street. A score
or more of persons were injured in
adjoining structures by broken glass
or in their rushes to escape into the
street. Most of these were cared for
at the county hospital.
Morris Feldman, janitor of the
building, said that 67 persons should
have been in the building last night
OF these he said 40 were missing and
probably dead.
"No School To-day"
Among the buildings damaged was
the Garfield school. When the chill
dren- assembled and learned of the
situation they shouted with joy to each
newcomer: mo school to-day"
An incident disclosed by the coming
of daylight was that of a 7-year-old
boy, Stanley Stilowich found freezing
to death. The explosion shut off the
gas and electric lights in the district
and in the darkness the child clad
only in a union suit ran into a secluded
nook where benumbed with cold he
fell asleep. He was sent to a hos
pital.
Two tenants of the building who es-
capped but would not give their names.
said that the odor of gas was observed
yesterday afternoon and was reported
to the gas company.

GOING AFTER ALL
NEW MEMBERS
General Secretary Frank IL
Gregory Is Lining Up New
Boosting Forces

General Secretary Frank IL. Gregory,
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Young
Mems Christian Association, is getting
in close touch with new members of
the three hundred or more who Joined
during the membership campaign last
fall. He has lined up a large majority.
He is sending out some timely lit
erature, including the following:
Your entrance into the member
ship of the Railroad Young Mems
Christian Association is greatly ap-
preciated by the organization and we
bid you real welcome. The privileges
of the building are at your disposal
and you are urged to make unlimited
use of them. You are now stock
holder in the organization and its
benefits are yours as q matter of right.
Inside Information
You are entitled to know some
thing about the general plan of or
ganization. The Railroad Associations
of the United States and Canada are
a part of the Great worldwide broth
erhood of the Young Mems Christian
Association, whose object is the phys
ical, intellectual, social and spiritual
development of men. Every member
is privileged to enter into these phases
of activity as far as he may desire.
The organization is governed by a
board of managers, who have direct
supervision of the staff of employed
officers known as secretary and assist
ant secretary. These men are here to
be as helpful to you as they possibly
can. They give you this service, not
as Il favor to you, but because it is
their business.
The association is supported by
the joint contributions of the MEM
bers and the interested railroad COM
panies. If the full pro rata cost were
charged for membership, the fees
would be prohibitive to the majority
of those who use the membership
privileges.
Motive of Membership
Experience shows that, while most
men join the association to take ad-
vantage of the benefits offered, they
eventually come to regard member
ship in the association as q matter
of principle, and they support the
work because they believe in it.
by agreement between the asso-
Citations Il $5 ticket in any local Or
ganization will be recognized for privi-
leges of equal value wherever the
ticket may be presented. A member
ship ticket thus serves as II valuable
introduction when travelling or when
on duty at the opposite end of the line

of the organization ii is necessary for
you TO come to the building. The
privileges are not portable to any great
extent, although some features, such as

the building to take advantage of its
benefits. There are many features To
which invitations are also extended to
your families and friends
