About tha Walsh

wales has plenty of coal, slate,
scenery and consonants, but very few
surnames. If Welsh schoolmaster
should say, Jones, you may 60 home
now for being good boy" the whole
school would quit.
People who are not called Jones are
called Williams, or Evans, or Hughes.
or Lloyd They divide these names
between them and make tile best of 1t.
They do not follow the English meth
Of taking their surnames from
owns and villages They felt that to
do so would cut them off from the rest
of mankind. Nobody con!d possibly
call on Mrs. Llanymynech. Disloca-
ton of the jaw is a great drawback to
social Intercourse.
The Welshman has the Celtic imag
nation, says London Answers. He
never calls spade a spade. When he
has done describing this implement Of
agriculture the stolid Englishman
thinks he has been listening to storg
from the Arabian Nights hence the
Englishman says the Welshman is all
"untruther." He isn't really. It's
only difference of method.

Car Loading
Campaign Benefits

The heavier car-loading campaign
recently undertaken on the Southern
Pacific lines, in conjunction with a
nationwide movement, is already
showing splendid results.
Reports in the hands Of William
Sproule, chairman Of the western de-
partment of the Railrods' War Board,
show that the so-called car shortage
which on May / was given as 14S,-
627, had on July 1 been cut to 7,144
reduction of nearly 1850 In the
short space of sixty days.
The first act of the Railroads War
Board was to direct that preference
be given to the movement OF coal,
which was regarded as essential to
the nations defense. Reports to the
United States government show that
in June the railroads of the country
hauled 750,32S cars of bituminous
coal, or an increase of 155,700 cars,
equal to 26.2 per cent more than last
year.
In this emergency, when the rail-
roads are making the utmost efforts
to give the maximum freight service,

Knots In Boards.

We find knots in the boards which
awe notice in lumber pile or in any
other place where boards happen t.
be because the smaller limbs which
grow away from the larger limbs Of
trees grow from the inside as well as
the outside Of the tree.
When yon see a knot in a board il
means that before the tree was cu,
down and the log sawed up into boards
a limb was growing out from the in
side Of the tree at the spot where the
knot occurs, says the Book of Won
ders
You will also find that the wood In
the knot is harder generally than the
rest Of the board. This Is because
mores strength is required at the base
of limb and in the part of the limb
which grew inside the tree than In
other parts, for the limb must be strong
enough to support not only the limb
itself. but also the smaller limbs which
grow out Of it.

She Was Fired.

In Hudson Maxim's Dynamite Sto-
ries" is the following sad narrative:
I'VE once had a servant girl whom
we nicknamed Jeopardy because she
could not be prevented from pouring
kerosene directly from the can upon a
lighted fire. One day Jeopardy left us
very suddenly, and she never came
back We were sorry she left as Jeop-
ardy was a good girl. 1t developed
that she had CHANGED to find fifty
pound case of dynamite sticks in the
woodshed, which she had been using
to start the fire in the kitchen stove.
Sometimes dynamite will work all right
for such a purpose, but 1t is notional
stuff and cannot be depended upon
merely to burn. 1t was during one Of
those intervals that Jeopardy went"

ARMOR PIERCING SHELLS.
They Proved Their Superiority Over
the Gathmann Explosives.

They Proved Their Superiority Over
the Gathmann Explosives.
The late Louis Gathmann, the inven-
tor, who died at the age Of seventy
four years, labored long and hard and
with zeal and enthusiasm to bring
about the development of the high ex-
plosive shell which bore his name.
II was Mr.. Gathmann's belief that it
was not necessary to carry the high
explosive shell through armor plate
and into the interior of ship, but that
II a sufficient quantity were detonated
against the outside of ship 1t would
be equally II not more destructive.
He secured from congress an appro-
priation for an eighteen inch gun capa-
bic OF throwing a shell containing 500
pounds OF guncotton. Our army and
navy officers held that the only effec-
tive shell would be one Of the armor
piercing type provided with delayed
action fuse, which would burst the
shell back of the armOr.
Both types were tested at Sandy
Hook about a score Of years ago. The
arinor piercing shell penetrated an
eleven inch plate and tore the backing
to pieces. The Gathmann shell burst
against the face Of the plate, but failed
to do more than dent 1t in the earlier
rounds, finally cracking 1t in two in
the last round. The superiority of the
armor piercing shell was thus estab-
lshed.-Los Angeles Times.

1t is gratifying to be able to report
the fine cooperation they are receive
ing from regulatory bodies and ship
pers in all parts Of the country.
By increasing the tonnage per car
by 2,SOO pounds, 5,644 freight cars
were saved on the Southern Pacific
during the month of June.
Lumber leaders made the greatest
saving, an Increase Of 5000 pounds
per car, resulting In the saving Of
1910 cars.
Shippers of hay saved 1000 cars
by loading 1000 pounds more per
car.
Fruit and vegetable shipments ran
1000 pounds heavier by car, saving
500 cars.
Other commodities contributed to
the general saving in lesser amounts.
The company itself, by loading
merchandise 600 pounds more per
car, saved nearly TOO cars.

STORY OF A FORCED LOAN.
The Way zapata Gave the Bankers Of
Mexico Two Surprises.

One morning Zapata, the Mexican
leader, issued two proclamations. One
was prohibition edict closing the
saloons, the other command for the
bankers of the city to assemble for a
conference.
The bankers attended the meeting
They went in fear, dreading confsca,
tion of their deposits. Only a few
days before the armies of General
Carranza had collected forced loan"
of 100000 pesos from the banks
What mercy could be expected of the
bandit leader? Zapata's speech was
short and to the point.
"Caballeros," he said, "my men are
hungry. l want 10000 pesos to feed
them for few days. You will pay
this | promise you protection. You
may carry on your business without
molestatlon as long as you do not aid
the enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money"
Thankful to escape with such mod.
est demand, the bankers did as they
were ordered. Zapata kept his part of
the bargain, and for months the city
was better pollced than 1t has ever
been since Porfrlo Diaz was driven
from Mexico. But this is the strange
part Of the story-strange to one who
knows the system Of confscation which
has bled the business men of the coun-
try:
Ten days later Zapata paid back the
10000 pesos.-Chrlstian Herald.

The Winner,

The difficulties Of crossing Broadway
at FOrty-second street can be exag
gerated. The feat is usually accom-
pIished by born New Workers without
loss of more than one limb. But to the
visitor from Boeotia or some other
suburb II presents itself as as diff
Guilty which, once overcome, is to be
looked back at with horror and re-
membered with gratitude for provi-
Dental escape One such visitor had
just crossed Broadway. He wore long
white whiskers and black hat such
as may be seen on senators from Mis-
sissippi. He was on the safe side Of
Broadway. He puffed agitatedly as he
turned to survey the maelstrom of
traffic he had passed through.
Every time | cross Broadway" he
said, 81 feel as If | had won bet
New York Post.

Passenger Service
Not Hurt BY War

Additional assurance of adequate
passenger train service for the Pacific
coast was given by Passenger Traffic
Manager Chas. S. Fee of the Southern
Pacific, who recently returned from
the advertising convention of the
company at Del Monte.
"The war apparently has had no
effect in reducing the demands upon
our passenger equipment" said Mr..
Fee. Our monthly reports show
that a, gratifying increase In travel
as well as a continuance Of earnings
of through trains. This can be at
tributed to general prosperity and
the increasing interest of the country
in the great west.
Despite the demands made upon
us by the government, and the un-
usual freight movement, we have
been able to take care Of fully the
needs of the travelling public. 1t is
our intention to continue our passen-
ger service about as at present SO
long as the public makes full use OF
our trains and equipment
"Tt is very necessary that our peo-
pie in this part of the country, resid-
ing in the valleys, be furnished every
facility to reach the cool resorts on
the coast, and equally necessary that
those living on the coast be carried
into the valley and mountain regions
during the summer months"
Mr.. Fee said that reports from
many of the popular resorts up and
down tho coast indicated that they
were enjoying the best patronage In
years.

Salt.

Superstitions concerning salt are
among the earliest known to mankind.
There is much evidence in holy writ
about the ceremonial uses of it, and the
old Mosaic law commands that every
sacrifice of a meat offering shall be
seasoned with It. Homer calls it di-
vine. and many of the old Teuton races
looked on salt springs as holy and wor
shiped at them. The origin Of this su.
pertition seems to be that since salt
cannot corrupt it should be regarded as
a symbol of immortality.
