M. c. A. Worker, Died on
Train Monday Morning

j. Goodwin Perkins, 228 Eighth
avenue. dropped dead Monday
morning shortly after getting on
ia suburban train at the Fifth
avenue station, as a result of
shock from seeing the horribly
mangled torso of Frederick Neid-
erhauser drop from the pilot of
the engine, almost at his feet ON
the depot platform. Mr.. Neider-
hauser had been struck by the
train at Hinsdale, without the
knowledge OF any OF the crew OF
people who were at the depot, and
! the body was carried to LaGrange,
the next stop.
Mr.. Perkins was city depart
ment secretary of the Y. M. c.. A.,
| having been actively engaged in
this work for a number of years.
He was also a prominent worker
i'm the local Methodist church, be-
ing the pr sident Of the Men's S
class and member of the of
lficial board.
Funeral services were held
Thursday afternoon i'm the Meth
odist church With Dr.. Mayor,
pastor of the church, and General
Secretary Messer of the y M. G..
A. in charge. The body was
placed in the receiving vault OF
the Oak Hill cemetery, to be later
taken to Mt. Vernon, H., his for
mer home, where Mrs. Perkins is
buried.

little son came to LAGRANGE nine
years ago, but Mrs. Perkins died
shortly after they came TO La

IClara Perkins, a sister, has kept
house for Mr.. Perkins and the
little boy, now eleven years old

Burton of Missouri Valley, la.
also survive.
There are few citizens of La
Grange who were held in higher
esteem by their friends than Mr.
Perkins. He was always cour-
teous, always a gentleman. He
was deeply interested in his worb
and a thoroughly religious man
but he was most LIBERAL in his
views. Through his engaging
personality and practical appli-
cation of Christian principles ht
Il had made the Mems Bible, class O.
the Methodist church a real in
fluence in the community.
| Mr.. Perkins will be greatly
missed in the Central Y. M. C. A.
where he has been in respons-
ible position for many years. lTt
was the type of citizen that La
Grange can i'll afford to lose anc

And be led to the train With o band

Oh, why did | hold up my hand?
Why didn't wait for the banquet
Why didn't | wait to be cheer.d,
For the drafted men get the credit

And nobody gave me a banquet
Nobody said a kind word,
The puff of the engine, the grind

That at me so trustinely peer,
And confess that was not

There is likely to be in the next
few days, and perhaps for some
time thereafter, tempo1 ary
scarcity of fresh meat. Thi: is
due, not to lack of supplies of
live stock, but to difficulty in
transporting the meat.
The normal tendency of such
scarcity, would be to advance the
prices to retailers and cons M
ers out of line with costs of ro-
duction. This must not hap en-.
The Food Administration aas
instructed Meat Packers nc to-
sell at prices representing Il ora
than a normal average al ova
cost. All are to distribute lch
meat as is available, fairly am ,ng
customers.
You are directed to- cnfc rec
this order. You will also inf rm
the public of this action inn le-
diately, through the press, md
otherwise.
You should also give notice in
a similar way to retail dealers in
meats and substitutes there or,
that they must not, at this tine,
charge prices giving more than a
normal average margin above
cost, and that they must distribute
such meat as is available fairly
among their patrons.
The Food Administration will,
on notice from you, direct pack
ers and wholesalers not to sell to
any retailer who is proved to have
violated this instruction.
Faithfully yours,

Thinness of Gold Leaf.

Ordinary printing paper is some
thing more than 1000 times thicker
than the gold leaf that can be made in
england today. For commercial pur-
poses the leaf must, of course, have
lust little more substance about it
than that, but it is Il striking and i'm
pressive fact that only about five
grains weight of gold is required to
make up the books that are in ordi-
nary use today by gilders. each of the
