AGED GATEMAN AT TRINITY.

Visitors to the Trinity Cemetery
of the Chapel OF the Intercession on
Washington Heights on entering the
gate at 154th street and Amsterdam
avenue are greeted pleasantly by q
sturdy little old man with a long
white beard. He has been for al
most half a century on duty at the
cemetery in one capacity or another.
and as near as he can figure IL he
is 100 years old. He certainly is
of great age, as Is shown by his
knowledge Of men and events OF a
distant past.
James Murray, for that is his
name. is at present the official gate
man of the cemetery, and is daily
on duty from in the morning until
the closing of the cemetery at 5
o'clock in the afternoon. He is at
the gate on the coldest days OF win
ter and the warmest days Of sum-
mer. He has built for himself a
bench beneath a tree just inside the
gate, and there he sometimes seeks
relief from wind or sun
Murray has been connected with
the cemetery for 50 long a time that
he feels he is an integral part of
IL. He likes to go into the history
of some of the big trees which he
planted. There was q time when he
knew and recalled the name and
history Of every grave. but several
years ago he was attacked by a
drunken man who attempted to in
wade the cemetery and since then
his memory has not been so good.
Murray attributes his health and
vigor to the fact that he has never
used tobacco nor intoxicants.-

What Victory or Defeat Means.

This is a war of self-preseryation. If the war

most Americans do not realize is that when we
;oined the great cause we were simply taking up
arms in defense of our own liberties. 1t is every
mans war-that is. every man who hopes to think
md work and live for himself.
Victory for Germany means world autocracy;
the triumph of a sinister social and economic PEN

Concrete Freight Cam.

In few weeks time experiments
will have determined the practical
bility of constructing railwag
freight cars of reinforced concrete.
says Searle Hendee in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Stimulated by
war conditions, which make the i'm
mediate provision OF more carriers
and the conservation OF steel i'm
perative. q prominent Chicago en-
gineer, in association with some of
the largest car-building companies,
has turned his attention to the fab
rication OF concrete gondolas. A car
Is to be built at once in accordance
with plans and specifications now in
the final stage of completion. Con-
tingent upon the showing made by
this car, which is patented, is the
immediate production of others on a
wholesale scale.
1t remains to be seen what the
new gondola will do. But it has
been designed to accomplish the
same work and Withstand the same
severe usage as modern steel cars.
In addition to costing probably not
more than half as much as one of
steel. the concrete car is capable of
being more quickly built Further
more its adoption would release
many skilled workmen for ship
building.
The question OF practicability
seems to be dependent on weight.
Standard steel gondolas weigh from
$4,000 to $4,000 pounds. II 1t is
found possible to construct a con-
crete car of so tons capacity and
consistently kept he weight at
about $4,000 pounds. engineers feel
that success will be assured.
In this connection II is interesting
to know that for two years or more
certain companies have been en-
ploying concrete In repairing freight
cars, and have found It satisfactory.
For this purpose, a fine cement NOR
tar. sprayed by a cement gun is
used.

oas Attack. and spie..

Three days after we had silenced
Fritz, the Germans sent over gas, It
did not catch us unawares, because the
wind had been made to order, that is,
1t was blowing from the German
trenches toward ours at the rate Of
about five miles per hour.
Warnings had been passed down the
trench to keep sharp lookout for gas.
We had new man at the periscope,
on this afternoon in question; was
sitting on the fire step, cleaning my
rifle, when he called out to me:
There's sort Of greenish, yellow
cloud rolling along the ground out in
front, it's coming"
But waited for no more, grabbing
my bayonet, which was detached from
the rifle. I gave the alarm by banging
an empty shell case, which was hang
ing near the periscope. At the same
instant, gongs started ringing down the
trench, the signal for Tommy to don
his respirator, or smoke helmet. as we
call 1t.
Gas travels quickly, so you must not
lose any time; you generally have
about eighteen or twenty seconds in
which to adjust your gas helmet.
