Charm of 4 Rabbit Foot.

An explanation of the marvellous
and mysterious properties of the rab-
biu foot as good luck piece is to be
found in the fact that witchcraft re-
garded the rabbit as a particularly
mystical animal. The favorite dis
guise of the witches of old was to take
the form of rabbit-a close second
was the cat--and records again and
again show convictions and executions
of women for the fearful crime OF
changing themselves into rabbits. A
rabbit foot was a potent charm against
the evil spells of the witch-rabbit.

WAGE COMMISSION
REACHES AGREEMENT
AN AVERAGE INCREASE OF
TWENTY PER CENT FOR RAIL
WAY MEN AGREED ON.

Washington, May director Gen
eral McAdoo will announce his de-
cision on the recommendations of the
railroad wage commission which were
said in we'll informed headquarters t.
propose an average twenty percent
advance in pay for all classes OF rail-
way employees. If Mr. McAdoo fol
lows the suggestions of the commit
gee, approximately S260,000.000 will
be added to the pay rolls OF the ma
tons railroads Strong pressure is
said to have been brought TO bear OF
the director general 10 modify some
Of the commissions recommendation
especially affecting the four great
brotherhoods. Mr.. McAdoo is not
bound TO follow the advice OF the com
mission and can increase or reduce
their recommendations as he sees fit
The commission has followed its an
nounced policy of giving the highest
paid unions the lowest rate OF ad
vance, holding the relief is needed
most by the men who have been bare
ly making both ends meet, or perhaps
going in debt on the wages they re
ceiyed
Apparently none of the commits
sions recommendation has met favor
with the unions themselves which
ranged a high as forty, fifty and sixty
percent
Aside from the wage situation the
committee has made little effort to
take up all the. grievances presented
to it on the ground it was appointed
primarily only to consider the wages
A majority OF the commission Is
said to have felt that the eight hour
day should not be made universal for
railroad employees now while the wal
is in progress fearing 10 upset trans
poration and necessitate the eNpendi-
ture Of large sums in addition to the
increase suggested. 1t is said the
commission has urged that after the
war the eight hour day be extended
and made the basis of employment o.
all classes Of railroad workers.
Mr.. McAdoo will finish his study
OF the report in few days 1t became
known today that Secretary lane
chairman OF the railway wage com
mission was at a Vidginia resort last
week when Mr. McAdoo was there re
operating from mis- liberty loan tour
Their discussion of communications
may hasten the director generals de
cision.

The DIGGING IN NEXT.

Those people who predict the war
VIII be over within a very short time
are doing an INJURY to the cause of
preparedness, because il is improbable
that the war will be over within two
years. Major Mccormick. the Canad-
ian officer, speaking here, said:
The Germans are making their de 70
termined effort to conquer now" and
continuing, he said, 'they will not
conquer. That British line will not
break Neither will the other lines of
the allies. After the German finds he
can not break that line, and that he
has poured out hundreds of thousands
OF lives in a lost cause, he will then
dig himself in and fight on the de-
fensive for awhile The allied forces
VIII then make an offensive. but il
will not come until America is well
represented on the line, until the al
lied forces are so strong that they
can beat Fritz back without making
sacrifices, and it may take a year O;
more for that"
So we do not see where the war will
be ended soon, but we can see where
the allied forces are outmanaging the
enemy in the conserving of men, and
where the desperation OF the Germans
is proving costly, The war will have
but one result, a victory for the al
lies, but not very soon

NOT TO EXTREMES.

The commonplace issues that have
been discussed by the women in con-
yeption here have proved they do not
run to the extremes with which they
are so often credited. Commonplace
Is fitting TO all other subjects than war
subjects, for il has been these that
have been the rule. and which have re-
ceWed almost the whole of the atten-
ton of the convention
In the matter of dress reform there
were those who would have had the
WOMEN OF America in overalls. or at
least had them confine their garb TO a
very few simple designs. The women
decided that it was expected of them
10 look pretty and that pretty frocks
were woman's asset and they bowed
humbly To forfeiture of wooden tex
lures when these were necessary in
uniforms, but they chung to their color
schemes, and their styles.
The subject of divorce was placed on
the pedestal and 1t was believed that
resolutions would be adopted prac-
tleally prohibiting the untying of the
nuptial knots that bound peoD's who
could not live together But this
was not the sentiment. The women
favored a uniform law which is good
common sense, for it abolshes the
practice of traipsing from state to
state to find fitting laws, but that uni
form law could apparently have been
the Colorado or the Nevada law. so
long as II was uniform.
Other things have come up in this
convention and have been disposed of
IN much the same manner that they
would have been disposed of in any
gathering of thinking men. SO there
isn't so much difference after all in
the views of the men and the women
who think.
