"WATCH DOG OF TREASURY"
FAST LOSING PRESTIGE

Atlanta, Aug. 14.-Representative
Joe Hill Hall of Bill county, known as
the watch dog of the treasury because
Of his inverterate opposition to appro-
priations, has won the additional en-
conium of being "the divinely appoint
ed guardian of the constitution"
Mr.. Hall has opposed practically ev-
cry measure which the house has
passed this year. He opposed the
principal items in the tax revision
bill. designed to increase revenue. He
opposed all increases in appropriations
both for higher education and for the
common school education. He opposed
the creation of an Industrial school
for negroes. He opposed the creation
of home guard to keep down riots
and other disturbances while the sol
diers are away. He opposed the bill
to raise the age of consent, ridiculing
the idea that girl over ten years old
is not morally responsible for her con-
duct.
His opposition to appropriations
and to progressive legislation general
ly has been so unsuccessful that the
advocates of any measure are now
anxious to array him against them.

A man with dirty face and hands,
shirt soaked with perspiratiOn,
stopped, laid down his dinner bucket,
rolled a broken knuckle out of the
pathway between the tracks, put il
close up against the ends of the ties
where no one could stumble over it,
picked up his dinner bucket and plod-
ded home.
More than 80 other employees had
preceded this man, each one carefully
picking his way around the obstruc-
ton.

trouble to roll this knuckle out of the
pathway. He seemed surprised at such
a question and said: "Why. some Of
the boys might get bad fall If that
knuckle was there after dark" l said:
"All the other men passed it by" and

BEARS Are Fooled
FIagman, Endeavoring to Protect
Train, Chased by Brutes.
SAVED BY HAPPY INSPIRATION
Made Complete Circle Of Fire by Using
Oil in One Of His Lanterns and
Setting Match to It-Raven-
GUS Animals Killed.

Down in the northern part Of Penn
sylvania, just beyond where the Sus-
Quehanna sweeps to the east toward
the Blue Ridge, we have Il branch line
breaking into the foothills of the AL
lcghanys, climbing and winding
through the wild wooded timber COun-
try of the GanOga region, and many
are the interesting tales tinged with
an atmosphere of the bear tribe that
emanate from that mountainous Sec
ton.
One cold bitter night last February
heavy freight train was slowly toll
ing up a long steep grade striving to
make a siding farther on to permit
the evening passenger train, then due.
to pass. When about half way be-
tween two stations which, in that
vicinity, are a considerable distance
apart, it plunged suddenly into a big
snow drift and stalled. 1t was about
nine o'clock and intensely dark. The
flagman, quickly alive to the situation
and the need of protecting the paSSen-
ger train following, quickly grabbed
his lantern-red and white-hurried-
~ buttoned his heavy coat about him,
pulled his Cap over his ears and
plunged into the darkness. He had
gone possibly n quarter of u mile and
was just entering long deep cut
when four lean, ravenOus bears clam
Ored out OF the thicket and started
after him. There was but one course
10 pursue. He could not turn back.
1t was necessary to flag the train
ahead of hm-the safety of the pas
sengers depended upon that. To climb
the steep sides of the cut was impOs-
sible. To stop meant a fight and prob
able meal for the bears. His only safe
~ was in flight. So, still clinging to
the lanterns, he ran along the track,
stumbling and hurrying, with the bears
in close pursuit, running evenly for
nearly mile when his wind began
to give out. The bears, hampered by
the uneven course and darkness, man.
aged to keep about fifty yards behind.
The hard pace was rapidly telling on
the flagman. He was about to resign
himself to his fate when q happy in
spiration struck him. He stopped and
heard the grizzly quartette approach
ing with humping tread. He waited
until they were close enough to feel
their breath. then started running in
circle, the bears following closely.
He quickly unscrewed the oil cups of
the lanterns and poured the oil as he
ran until he had completed the circle,
edging toward the center followed by
the bears, he touched match to the
oil and knowing the bears fear of fire,
he jumped through his circle of flame
with the bears terrOr-Stricken and i'm
priSOned within. He hurried down the
track in the direction of the oncOm-
ing passenger train, which ne man
aged TO stop, the engineer being at
traCted by the flames of the fiery cir
Gle. The situation was quickly eX-
planned and the train shot down
through the cut and the flames, killing
the four bears outright and landing
them on the cOw-catcher of the en-
CINE.

CULM BANKS USED FOR FUEL
Product of Hard Coal Mine Left Over
After Large Sizes Have Been Re-
moved Now Utilized.

Millions Of tons of anthracite. which
have for 20 years been lying in neg

made available for use presently. Phil
adelphia papers note that great cuIm
banks In that state are to be imme-
diately prepared for market by a GER

Culm is the product of the hard coal
mine left over after the chestnut and
larger sizes have been screened and re-
moved. In the three great anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania there are many
culm banks 200 feet high and mile
or more in length.
From these banks millions of tons
Of coal in sizes known as pea" and

WHAT AILS OUR RAILROADS?
Many Of Most Desirable Employees
Have Been Attracted to Other
Pursuits by Higher Wages.

What Is really the matter with the
railroads? Is a question that is puz-
zling good many people nowadays.
Is it shortage of rolling stock, or men,
or both; or is il general lnefiiciency
that is responsible for the deplorable
conditions existing today?
OF course the railroads could use n
great many more cars if they had eff
cient men to handle them, hut in the
opinion of competent observers eff
cheney of many employees has deteriO-
rated at least to the extent Of the adj
vance in wages and many of the most
desirable employees have been at
tracted to other pursuits by higher
wages than the railroads are paying,
says Iron Trade Review. There seems
also to be physical exhaustion and q
breaking down of spirit due to the long
and unprecedentedly severe strain to
which railroad employees have been
subjected. After all, questions relat-
ing TO men are fully as important
as those relating to equipment in the
railroad situation.
What is the remedy? Cars and equip
ment will, Of course, be available in
sufficient numbers in the course Of
time, but the human factor Is more
uncertain. No one can tell what the
supply of labor will be after the war
has ended, but employees should re-
member one thing: A day of reckon
ing is coming. The laggardS of today
will be remembered in coming years,
when the demand for men will not be
such as 1t is today. So will the faith
full workers be remembered. The man
who gives to his job the very best that
is in him will not fail to receive his re-
ward when some day-nO one can tell
exactly when-a period of depression
again prevails in this land, Il time
when there will be more men than
jobs.
