PINE CREEK RAILROAD.
Final Appeal to Be Made to McAdoo
by Judge Turner.


1t is understood that President Far
rell, of the O.-W. II. & n, is favor
able to building the Pine creek branch
but that the company is without funds
for the purpose, and that Mr.. Farrell
Is without authority to build 1t even II
the company had the funds. In fact
under government control the question
General McAdoo and it Is to Mr.. Nc
Adoo that an appeal is now to be
taken in behalf of Pine creek. Judge
George Turner, of Spokane, heavy
stockholder in the Constitution. is now
or soon will be on the way to Wash
ington to present the matter to the
director general. He will be fortified
with facts and figures regarding the
mines of Pine creek which will show
that the tonnage is ample to justify
construction of the road He will also
be in position to show that the O.-W.
r. & N company is morally If not
legally, obligated to build the branch,
and that its failure to do so has al
ready imposed great hardship upon
the mine owners of that section. The
representations to be made by Judge
Turner to Director McAdoo cannot
fail to carry great weight. He is a
man Of national prominence, and there
Is reason to believe that he will be
able to bring Mr.. McAdoo around to
his point Of view

DRIVE Always AID
FREIGHT PROBLEM
Franklin Company Resorts to
1t Much as Possible to
Relieve Railroads.

Conservation Of freight car ship
ments through the medium of fac
tory drive-aways TO points through
out the eastern and central states,
wherever and whenever possible, is
the wartime policy adopted by the
Franklin Automobile Co. This
manufacturer, in fact, is refusing
to ship cars by freight, unless de-
livery cannot be made in any other
way.
BY this over-highway method of
automobile movement, whereby the
dealer or the new owner calls for
his car at the factory and drives
it away under its own power, $50
automobiles have been sent away
from the Franklin factory in the
past four months without demand
ing the services of freight cars.
Figures compiled by the Franklin
company show that as many as 1914
percent Of the total shipments of
Franklin cars during the four
months period just passed were fac
tory drive-aways. During August,
the best percentage was shown when
.21.S percent of the total automobile
shipments were made by the over
road method. The September figure
was 14.2 percent; October, 12.1 per
cent; while the month just passed
registered 10 percent.
The new policy, if carried on for a
year-estimated on the basis of the
four months just passed, a fair av-
erage because it contains three fall
months and one Of summer-would
mean the annual saving for more
necessary service of SIS freight cars.
That means that the Franklin com
pany in one year is saving on the
use of freight cars to the extent of a
train of cars four miles long. This
is a conservation of 10.1 cars per
week and III cars for the quarter
year period.
Dealers are now driving Franklin
cars TO places throughout the east
ern and central states. Such cities as
Baltimore, Washington, New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, De-
troit and Cincinnati are taking a big
majority of their cars by this meth
cd. In fact most cities in New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania, will follow
out this policy throughout the win
ter so long as the roads are open
and pascal BILE.
In some special cases drive-aways
have been made TO places more re-
mote, among which are the follow
ing cities: Portland, Me-, Norfolk,
Va. Montreal. Que. Ottawa, Que.
Paducah, Ky, Kansas City. No, Des
Moines, Ia, and San Diego, Calf.

1t may be well to investigate
whether the control linkage is in

observe If any part of linkage has
become bent or bends when in oper-
alton. The coil when battery is
switched on should hum, as this
sound is the vibrator interrupting
the primary circuit.

GIVE INSIGHT TO CHARACTER
Shape of Eyebrows Reveal Vigor, In
sincerity, Lack of Vitality. and
Many Other Things.

1t Is now conceded that the Greek
eyebrow is quite in accord with the
conception of mere physical beauty in
women. Like the rosebud mouth, it
does not indicate the highest order Of
Intelligence and the arch is expressive
always of greater sensibility and great
er sense of character, says London
Tit-Bits.
Scant growth of the eyebrows invari-
ably denotes lack of vitality; on the
contrary, heavy, thick eyebrows indi
cate a strong constitution and great
physical endurance. They are not
beautiful on a wOman's face, however
much they may signify either mental
or bodily vigOr, and when they are not
only heavy, but drOOp and meet at
the nose, they are disagreeable and are
said to accompany an insincere and
prying nature.
Romantic women usually have very
well-defined arch in the center of the
eyebrow. while a sense of humOr is in
dicated in the arch nearer the nose
Long, dropping eyebrows, lying wide
apart, indicate an amiable disposition.
Where the eyebrows are lighter in col
or than the hair, the indications are lack
of vitality and great sensitiveness.
Family defined eyebrows placed high
above the nose are signs Of Incidence
and weakness.
Very black eyebrows give the face an
Intense and searching pvDrpSSino o q.
when natural, they accompany a pas
siOnate temperament. Very light eye
brOws rarely are seen on strongly intel
lectual faces, although the color Of the
eyebrows is not accepted simply as de-
noting lack of intelligence; the form
gives the key to the faculties and their
direction. Red eyebrows denote great
fervOr and ambition; brown, a medium
between red and black.
