RUMBLES
BIG EEL STOPS
PENNSY TRAINS
Gets Into Pipes at Lewistown
Pumping Station; Call
For Plumbers.

One large eel came nearly tieing
up traffic completely on the Middle
division of the Pennsylvania rail-
road on Sunday. 1t clogged up the
automatic pump at Lewistown Nal
rows watering station. Calls were
made for plumbers in this city, Milf
MN, Lewistown and Huntingdon.
In the meantime trains using the
water trough at this point were
Obliged to stop from 20 to 80 min
utes and water tanks in order to be
able to keep up steam. This upset
schedules. Fast freight trains were
also held up and it was slow moving
for time, to keep the main line open.
Largest Ever Caught
III. .. Elder of Mifflin, was the life
saver. He worked for an hour be-
fore he found the trouble and started
the pumps The eel, according to re-
ports. was the largest ever taken
from the Juniata river. 1t measured
thirty-eight inches in length and
weighed eight pounds No person
has been able to explain how the
eel got into the pipes. There Is i
hne mesh wire screens covering the
intake pipes and unless there is Il
break in the screen nothing larger
than needle could get through.
This water trough is one of the
most important on the Middle divi-
sion. All fast trains take water "on
the fl" running about forty five
miles an hour, and when they are
obliged to stop for water at a tank
1t means costly delay to all traffic.

FLOUR AND SUGAR
WILL TAKE DROP
IN PRICE SOON
Government Promises Saving
of Three Dollars a Barrel
on Former Commodity

Washington, Sept. II. - Definite
price decreases to the ultimate con-
sumer were officially announced by
the food administration to-day.
These will result from the CO.
operative regulation of grain, flour
and sugar. which has now reached a
stage that makes the regulation of
wheat effective to-day, with flour
regulation to follow shortly, and the
conrrol of sugar to become effective
October L.
A saving of SO barrel on flour
over the average price of the last
four months is promised the con-
sumer as soon as the flour from
wheat sold under the new control
plan reaches market.
A slight drop in sugar has already
occurred. By October l, when con-
troll becomes complete, a further re-
duction of S1.60 below the mid
August price is expected.
The saving to the American people
in the lowered cost of flour is esti-
mated at S30,00,000 a month, these
figures being based on a normal
monthly -four consumption in this
country of 100000 barrels. The
saving to follow in sugar is placed at
S9,0OO,000 a month, representing Il
20 per cent. decrease below mid
August figures, or cents a pound
under the price then prevailing.
Steps ahead in the food situation
comprise a consideration of the ques.
tion of the standard loaf of bread for
war time. This was taken up at the
meeting of the war emergency coun,
Gil of the master bakers of the coun.
try in Washington, which began its
sessions to-day.
