Soldiers at Front
Carry Queer Mascots;
BaIck Cats Bring Luck

Behind British Lines in France -
(By Associated Press) The feeling
of fatalism is strong among soldiers.
Many hold the opinion 'if the bullet is
not made for you, you won't be hit"
One soldier boasts he knows he Will
come through the war all right, be-
cause in his latest battle, large
piece of shrapnel on which he found
his own initial fell at his feet. He
"It was made for me. all right. but
it missed the mark, so nothing else
can kill me-"
Mascots and luck-bringers of vari-
Gus sorts are numerous in all the
armies of to-day. They are of great
variety. Tiny rabbits and black cats
! made of lucky" metal are encount-
cred most frequently. In most cases
| the lucky charm a soldier carries is
sent him by his womenfollS in the
| homeland. A thimble, n ring, or 9
childs trinket passed down in the
family as a uck-brInger are com
| monty given.
Among soldiers superstitions. Of
which the British soldier has his ful
share, one of the most characteristic
| is connected with number three.
| THE third time is never the same,
is a proverb among the Irish troops:
THE third of anything is fatal /!
a common expression among the Eng
lish country battalions.
Soldiers have been known to re
fuse to take their third leave, feeling
certain it will be their last. A sol
dier's third wound is said to be th
one which must be most carefully at
tended to. A development of thi
! same superstition prohibits lighting
three cigarets with one match.
Add numbers, according to the
British Tommy" are more likely t
be unlucky than even ones, and thir
teen is no worse than nine. Frida,

SOME ESAVE ON
SMALL WAGES
Cost-of-Living Inquiries Bring
Some Surprises; To Fix
Pay Increase

Washington, March S.-The most
extensive investigation into living
costs ever undertaken in this coun-
try has been made by the railroad
wage commission in its search for
information on which to base recon-
mendations for wage increases. More
than 500 newspapers and every
chamber of commerce in the United d
States were called on by the COM
mission to furnish data on the rise
in prices.
Reports from newspapers were
gathered, at the commissions re-
quest, by trained newspapermen,
who We're instructed to visit fami-
lies with incomes of $4,000 and less,
and ascertain how much they We're
spending for food and clothes now
as compared with 1915. ItemiZed
accounts were obtained as to what
was done with the money received
by the wage -earnerS.
Astonishing Results
The result was astonishing" Sec
retary Lane, chairman, said to-day.
we found some families saving
money on incomes of $500 year."
Mr.. Lane said the request for in
formation regarding families living
on $4,000 and less did not indicate
that any limit had been set for en-
ployes to receive increases.
Elaborate charts of wages paid by
railroads have been made, showing

Effort to Cut Baldwin
Salaries Gets Hard Bump

Philadelphia, March S.-The an
nual meeting of the Baldwin Loco
motive Works yesterday was enliv-
ened by an unsuccessful attempt of
John NJ. Luntz, of Baltimore, to have
the salaries of all executive officers
of the concern reduced one-half.
His vote was the only one in favor of
the cut.
The annual report, which was ap-
proved, showed that during 1917 the
company's production of every kind
amounted to $9S,263,S S65. During the
year 2,748 locomotives were built
amounting to S63, 3,455,574; other reg
ular work amounted to S13,S35,7O7
and contracts for shells and other
special work aggregated S20,972,-
$50. The net profits amounted to
$8,3O5,722.
The report stated that "the loco
motive business at the beginning of
1918 continues favorable. The pro-
liability that the government will be
the chief purchaser presents a new
condition. the effects of which can
not be foreseen."

Owing to the fact that the carriers
are burdened with an unusually
heavy traffic and are short of men,
some roads were able to supply par
tial information only concerning
their contributions in men to the
army and navy. The New York Cen
trail, which undoubtedly furnished
the nations armed forces with q
large number of officers, did not find
1t possible to compile a list of en-
ployes who have received commits
sions. The Great Northern, on the
other hand, was unable to furnish
data showing the total number of
employees who volunteered or were
drafted. On the whole. the inform
alton received from the various
railroads is complete and accurate.
In All Departments
Railway men are serving their
country in practically every depart
ment of the army and in various ca
pacities in the navy. In addition,
they are doing special service of
great Importance to the success of
our armies in the nine railway regi-
ments organized last spring, which
have taken over the operation of
railroads serving the battle front in
France. Two additional regiments
iment and a light railways regiment
recently completed their organiza-
ton at Camp Grant. Rockford, Ill
Late this fall 200 railway officers
from roads in the Northwest left for
Russia where, if political conditions
permit, they will rehabilitate the
Trans-Siberian railway. This eXpe-
dition, known as the Russian Rail-
way Service Corps, consists only oi
commissioned officers, ranging from
Colonel down to Second Lieutenant
Colonel George II. Emerson, former
ly General Manager of the Great
Northern, will take charge of the
operation of the Trans-Siberian.
Ask No Exemptions
He has under him two General
Superintendents with the title of
Lieutenant-Colone and twelve Divi-
sion Superintendents, with the title
of Captain and their staffs. The or
ganization of the Russian Railway
Service Corps and the railroad regi-
ments for service in France has been
carried out under the direction OF
S. NJ. FELTON,, President of the Chi
cago Great Western and Director
General of Railways, with head
quarters at Washington, d. c.
Although the transportation sys-
tenn of the country is placed next to
the army and navy in its importance
in the prosecution of the war, the
railroads have not asked blanket
exemptions for their employees. In
spite of a very heavy traffic and the
Importance of the expeditions move
ment of government supplies, the
carriers asked no favors. A con-
sideration of the number of special
railway units organized, in addition
to the loss of men who volunteered
in other branches of service or were
drafted, leads on thw heTn6,Fs e
drafted, leads one to the conclusion
that the railroads have not only con-
tributed their share of men to the
armed forces of the land, but more
than their share.

More Deadly Than
A Mad Dogs Bite

The bite of a rabid dog is ne longer
deadly, due to the now famous Pasteur
Treatment, but the slow, living death,
the resultant of poisoning of the sys-
tenn by deadly uric acid is as sure and
inevitable as day follows night.
No other organs of the human body
are so important to health making as
the kindeys and bladder. Keep your
kidneys clean and your bladder in

REVIVE RUMORS
Track Work at Columbia In
dicates Big Improvements
Are to Come Soon

Resumption of activity by railroad
surveyors in the vicinity of Column
bla has revived gossip in that town
regarding elaborate yard and track
improvements by the Pennsylvania
railroad. What the plans are officials
Will not tell. The Columbia Spy says:
Work Forces Busy
For several days workmen have
peen changing the wires along the
Susquehanna and Atglen division.
Detter known as the low grade line.
kumor has it that the company will
lay new track parallel to the pres
ent track for the movement of west
pound trains. A number of years ago.
after the opening of the low grade
llne, an attempt was made to lay this
track, and the greatest excitement
prevailed. The fire department was
called out, lines of hose were laid
and streams of water were used to
prevent the men from working.
Finally the borough obtained an in
junction from court and no further
attempt was made to lay the track
An ordinance granting the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company permis-
sion to lay the track was presented
at meeting of council. 1t was laid
on the table and a new ordinance
- PiSPoiSu StdIlllB PERMISSION TO LAY
the track, but the borough was to be
granted some concessions. This ordi.
nance was never accepted.
Work Will Proceed
AS all railroads are now under
government supervision and direction
it is believed that the track can b,
laid, and that the borough is not in
position to interfere. If the new
track is necessary for the promp
shipment of freight the governmen
would permit the work to proceed a.
