REPAIR LOCOMOTIVES
Machinists to Work Ovel-time-Prom-
ised 40 Per Cent "Raisc.''

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Ma
tional railroad today resorted to
speed up" measures in locomotive
repair shops to relieve the most ap-
palling motive power situation in rail-
road history.
Increased hours of labor will be re-
sorted to. following direct appeal to
A. c. Wharton, representing the shop
mechanics. Overtime will be the rule
until every locomotive is back on the
tracks with maximum load. In re-
turn, the government will grant wage
increases asked by the mechanics,
averaging, it is believed, about forty
per cent.
The step was determined upon when
negligence in handling of locomotives
was plainly shown in summarized re-
ports of special investigators for the
interstate commerce commission.
Clog Up Yards.
Trains have been made UP and al
lowed to wait on tracks for hours,
clogging up freight yards and stop
ping traffic because of shortages of
engines. Locomotives have been held
up for ten hours in roundhouses when
they should have been turned in four
or five hours. Crews have been held
at terminals sixteen hours and then
relieved by other crews while waiting
for engines Trains on sidings have
been held UP until the sixteen hour
law forced roads to send out relief
crews. These conditions were the
basis of the sensational charges that
railroad executives are Intentionally
negligent to embarrass the railroad
administration made by w. G. Lee of
the railway trainmen.
Conditions of LOGON olives are es-
pecially bad On the Baltimore & Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia & Read
ing, New York, New Haven & Hart
ford, the Erie and the Jersey Central.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG.
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels = there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DIR. Edwards, a well-known physician
In Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
ezte for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
,buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.

EXPECTED DRIVE WAITS
Indications Are Germans Won't Start
1t for at Least a Week.

London, Feb. 11.-There is no in
dication of an immediate greats Ger
man offensive on the west front, ac-
cording to the military correspondent
of the Express.
Indications are, he said today, that
the present condition will last for at
least a fortnight.
From authoritative sources it can
be stated, the correspondent declared,
that the transfer of German troops
from the east to the west front is not
faster nor greater than anticipated.
The Franco-British forces in rifles
and guns are slightly superior to the
Germans, excluding the Americans,
Belgians and Portuguese.

FALK RECITAL

The second evening of music by
Jules Falk and his assistants, Gertrude
Arnold ard Malvina Ehrlich was more
successful in point of attendance than
the first. The three musicians gave a
concert Friday night, followed by
second recital Saturday, which was at
Tended 10y an audience that filled the
First Baptist church.
Jules Falk has not previously been
in Topeka, but he is known as mu-
stefan of high rank turnout the coun-
try, having established his claim to
distinction in this country after receiv-
ing recognition as violinist in many
of the great capitals of Europe. His.
playing possesses warmth and poetic
charm, and translates in a charming
way the gentler infections of feeling
into the language of tone He has
added to the elements of sympathy
anc ia ste, a remarkable mechanical
equipment in technical proficiency.
The program was especially inter
esting to those who look for new
names in the list of composers repre-
sented- Among those whose music
has seldom been offered in local con-
cert are;/ Nardini, DittersdOrf, Milan
DIRE, and Boccherini. One number of
dance in G Minor, is by a composer
whose name is not known. This num-
Der was followed by one more ia
miliar. a Bohemian Folk Song, by
Dvorak, and arranged by Kreisler.
The old and rather hackneyed Saint
Saens composition, Introduction and
Rondo was rendered in superior
fashion and met with an enthusiastic
reception by the audience. This man.
Falk, produces tone of delicacy and
refinement of shading, and he has
also a simple and unpretentious man
ner that emphasizes the charm of his
music.
The violinist was ably supported by
the vocalist who sang three groups of
songs, including an opera aria, a col
lection of some of the older classics
and group of English ballads.
The pianist played some solos, but
was at her best in the accompani-
ments.
One of the interesting features of
Mr.. Falk's concert is his instrument,

violin has a we'll authenticated his
