FLOWERS SAME PRICE
Unable to Connect Up With War,
Easter Lilies No Higher This Year.

Chicago, March 24.-You may not
be able to eat the once aristocratic
egg for Easter but along with the new
suit or dress two weeks from tomor-
row you can sport a bouquet of violets
or even the custom decreed Easter
lily. They're not going up in price.
Florists in Chicago and the rest of
the country so announced today
At the annual national gathering
here of horticulturiStS, wholesale and
retail, it became apparent that neither
the tariff, war or submarine blockade
could by the most vivid stretch of
ina gination be ascribed as an excuse
for an advance in the cost of milady's
corsage.
Lilies, the florists declare, will al
ways remain the flower of Easter
Corsage bouquets of violets, livened
up with lilies of the valley or an orchid
will also be the correct thing for
Easter day.
Other information of note was the
declaration that the tendency of the
times is to return to the old June
roses of yesteryear, the round petaled
flowers which grow in the country.

ceive travel allowances and pay that
will more than offset any expense to

pie field uniform is required for re-
serve officers, involving little expense,
and the government assumes this cost
also eventually.
In wartime reserve officers would
be required to report for duty either
in person or by letter, as he may di-
rect, to the commanding general of
the department in which they reside.
They will be assigned to regular or
volunteer regiments, as the occasion
warrants. and when called out will
receive the full pay and allowances
of their grade in the regular service.

BIG SAVING IN TIES
Santa Fe One of Few Roads to En-
balm Its SIeepers.

In the current issue of the Rail-
road Mans magazine, a monthly pub
LEGATION devoted to facts and fiction in
the railroad game. the Santa Fe is de-
clared to be the least criminal" of
any railroad in this country in the
use of untreated roadbed ties. The
subject of the article is "Embalming
Rights of Way"
The article asserts $20,0O0,0OO is
wasted in this country every year be-
cause ties are not treated, and points
out the fact that the Santa Fe dimin-
ished the number of ties replaced to
the extent of 100000 in five years,
because SIS per cent of it's "sleepers'
are treated with zinc chloride or zinc.
This, railroad officials say, makes
them last six times longer than the
untreated wood. Several pictures of
Santa Fe tie yards and treating plants
appear in the article
