ESSAYS r!
Gen. Plummer

THE pictures are remark
able" said General Plum
mer, because they show ac-
tual scenes of troops going
into action. To an army
man also. it brings out very
clearly the difference of
methods in the English and
American armies and gives
us a clearer idea of the OBJ
stacles We will have to sur
mount when United States
troops get into the trenches.
"One of the remarkable
things about the picture lies
in the great amount of
equipment each British sol
der is required to carry.
They were apparently loaded
down. their backs were bent
and both hands full"

P0rsiatance of Cuaton1.

1t Is a present day custom for the
members of the English parliament to
bow three times before taking their
seats. An American, mysti1ed by this
strange custom, inquired the reason for
it. He was astonished to find the Eng
lishmen could not tell him. No one
seemed to know, not even the men who
did the bowling, but after much re-
search the mystery was cleared away.
The buildings Of parliament had once
burned, and the members were quar-
tered for period In st. Stephens
chapel. Having the altar Of the church
before them, they made the customary
bows to Father, Son and Holy Ghost
When they moved into their present
abode they did not take the altar with
them, but they kept on bowling never

Bone Frauility.

That fragility of the bones Is domi-
nant characteristic in some families
and is handed down through the gen.
erations according to the regular Men.
delian laws Of descent is the conclu-
sion reached by Davenport and Con-
rad, American eugenists. They find it
rare that a fragile child has not had
parents and other ancestors with the
same weakness A striking example Of
this failing is child that had both
thigh bones broken soon after birth,
and at thirty months had had not
less than dozen fractures of impor-
tant bones, although the bones showed
no deformity or softness.

THE PROBLEM OF E

War Board Writes Asking Tha& Al
Non-Essential improvements
r.. e.. aA SAls$tbAld


Non.Essential improvements
Be withheld.
The Railroads War Board has adj.
dressed a plea to Public Service Com
missions and all state, county and
authorities thruout the
United States, urging cooperation
with the railroads in a suspension
during the war-of tall efforts not
designed I'd help directly in winning
the war;" The letter says:
To the State Public Service Commits
sion, State, County and other Mu-
nicipal. Authorities: -, ~ :,
The American Railway Associa:
tons Special Committee on National
Defense now cooperating with the
to further the successful
of the war respectfully
invites your consideration of the fol-
lowing suggestions as means to- IA
cilitate the efforts of the COMMITTEES:
The present emergency has i'm
posed upon the railroads a very IN
usual strain in transporting men,
food, coal, munitions and materials in
augmented quantity. This burden,
while cheerfully undertaken, requires
every ounce of energy, every unit of
rolling stock, every dollar of capital,
every bit of supplies and coal which
the railroads can commend.
It is the opinion of this Committee
that all efforts not designed to help
directly in winning the war should
be suspended during the period of the
war. Indeed, this. is obviously the
thought Of President Wilson in his ap-
peal to the country on April 18th,
1917, which included the following
statement: So *z..ss s. 81
1T lis evident to every thinking
man that our industries .
must be made more prolific and more
efficient than ever, and they must be
more economically managed and bet.
ter adapted to the particular require
ments of our task than they have
been" - s.sz. =
Therefore this Committee earnest
~ recommends that during the war
the railroads be required by the Pub
lie authorities to make improvements
and carry out projects involving the
expenditure Of money and labor only
when they are absolutely essential
for war purposes or public safety.
The prevailing high interest rate Of
goney, the difficulty Of raising money
in competition with tax free issues
Of the Government, the excessive
cost Of supplies and labor, the delay
in obtaining material, the possible
blockade Of traffic and the diversion
Of labor all contribute to. make non
essential construction undesirable
during the war. =.
The Committee considers that the
erection of new stations, elimination
Of grade crossings, are among the
non-essential improvements which
should be deferred at this time. We
respectfully suggest that the basis
for consideration of new projects ut
this time should be the increase in
the capacity Of the carriers for ma
tional service. -
Furthermore. We urge -y0ur coop.
