TRAWELETTE
TiIngad.
BY NIKSAH.

Timgad.
Timgad is an ancient Roman city,
forgotten and buried on the slopes OF
the Aures Mountains. The desert
winds heaped the market places and
ruined streets with shifting sands; the
jackaIs and birds of prey made the
stately forum, with it's crumbling col
umns their haunts and hunting
grounSs For centuries Timgad lay
deserted and forgotten, unvisited ex-
cept by occasional wandering cara
In recent years, however, the city
has been partially restored and ex-
cavated by French architects and
archa biologists. The columns of the
facade of the capitol have been re-
erected; the sands cleared from the
mosaic floors of the ruined baths,
whose colors are as fresh and bright
as in the old days of Roman splendor
The arch of Trajan over one of the
two main streets, stands as it did in
the days of the great emperor, the
founder of the city. The amphithe-
alter, typically Roman. held at least
four thousand spectators in the days
when gladiatorial combats were con-
sidered respectable.
Outside the city walls are tiny
Arabian market stalls where brown
skinned merchants sell figs and dates
to the visitors. Near the market
stalls are ancient wells, their sides
worn by the chains of water buckets
long since crumbled to dust. The city
has a dusty little museum where rel
les and curioS found in the ruins are
kept. There are bits of pottery. tiny
statues, and worn books, found in the
ruined public library founded by some
Roman Carnegie.
Timgad, or as it was known in Ro-
man history, Thamugas, was built in
100. A D. by the order of Trajan. The
| city had an eventful history during its
short career repeatedly invaded, de-
stroved and restored Finally, after
the Arabian invasion of 649 A. D. it
was left to the mercy of the wind and
desert.

Eighteen grocers in Fall River,
Mass, have formed a successful CO.
operative buying club. One member
buys flour for cash in large quantities
and distributes to other members,
while oyners make cash quantity pur-
chases of vegetables, corn meal, and
like commodities, distributing in turn.
A saving of so cents barrel has been
effected in flour, and a favorable dis
count received on quantity purchases
of staples like crackers. Meetings are
held weekly, at which members ex-
change information concerning their
needs and arrange the weeks pur-
chasing. In most cases deliveries to
the different stores are made by the
concerns from whom buying is done.
The success of this syndicate. accord
ing to the Grocers' Magazine, has been
so great that other grocers in that city
wish to participate, but it was decided
that enlarged membership would make

cants were advised to form a second

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in
Americas Fighting Service

The unusual chance of saving a man
who was endeavoring to save another
came to an American sailor and he has
just been commended for his bravery
by the secretary of the navy. The Incl
dent occurred off the aeronautic sta
ton at Pensacola, Fla. George Buck
ley, seaman and A. ]. Cash, an ap-
prentice, were sailing in a motor dory
attached to the station, when it
caught fire. Not being able to extin-
guish the flames they jumped oven
board. Cash became unconscious and
Buckley went to his assistance. A life
preserver was thrown to the men but
by accident it struck Buckley in the
face. He was then trying to keep
Cash afloat but the unexpected blow
caused him to lose his hold. On the
commandments barge, which had
reached the scene of the accident, was
John r. Hay, "a coxswain. Seeing
what had happened to Buckley he

A LONG LOOK AHEAD.

Those who are ever on the lookout
for political significance in every
move of any public man or group of
men think they have made discov-
cry in connection with the railroad
bills pending in congress. There may
be room for an honest difference of
opinion regarding the length of time
after the war that the government
should retain control of the roads, but
the political wiseacres think they see
a plan to boost Mr.. McAdoo into the
presidency. 1t is argued that if the
secretary can retain direction of the
nations transportation business until
after the 1920 campaign he may be
able thereby to read his title clear to
the White House.
1t is noted that Mr.. McAdoo favors
an indefinite period Of government
control.
If the war should terminate in 1918
or 1919 and the administration could
retain control of the roads until after
the 1920 presidential election it could
it is suggested. exercise a tremendous
amount of influence on 100000 rail-
the Democratic ticket. This would be
a potent factor in assuring the Demo-
Gratis four years more in office, and
that result having been achieved the
administration probably would gladly
rel:nquish the burden of operating the
roads. On the other hand it would
relieve railroad operators and oppo-
nents of federal ownership of roads of
any anxiety which they might have
proceeding from the belief that this is
to remain a fixed policy.
reflections arising from the secre-
tary's- attitude already have penetrated
to the vaudeville stage in the east,
where an artist, replying, in one of his
skits, to the question as to how it is
expected to make McAdoo president in
1920, says, They are going to rail-
road him in"

in 1914 Manufacturing material
formed in 1917 81 per cent of the total
merchandise imported, against 81 per
cent in 1915 and 40 per cent in 1914.
Another evidence of the activity OF the
manufacturers in the year just ended,
is found in the fact that the value OF
manufactures exported IN the calendar
year 1917 aggregated nearly $4,000
600, 900, against s1,7s1, 900. 900 in 1915

LET Us LOOK BEFORE WE LEAP.

The railroads of the United States,
privately owned, are said to have the
lowest freight rates, the lowest CAPT
talization per mile, the greatest oper-
ating efficiency and pay the highest
wages of any railroads in the world.
They have been responsible for all
the inventions and new ideas in equip
ment and operation which have devel-
oped the transportation industry to
its present point. There is not a sin
gle instance on record, declares Fran
els H. Sisson, vice president of the
Guaranty Trust company of New
York, of any new ideas in railroad
equipment or operation coming out of
government owned railroads. There
is, he continues, no incentive for Gre
alive thought in this field.
Our privately owned railroads have
rendered the largest measure of serv-
ice at the lowest cost to the user. That
they must turn to the government to-
day for relief from intolerable condi-
tons Is due to no failure of their own,
but to the failure of that very govern
mcnt. in its ramified activities, to per-
init adequate provision for them. Re-
stricted rates, wasteful federal and
state regulation, increased wages,
higher costs and inordinate traffic
burdens have combined to force them
into the hands of the government, al
tho they can point with pride to a
better record of service than the rail-
roads of any other country.
On every hand is heard the proph-
ecy that the present control of the
railroads by the government is but the
first step toward government owner
ship, and that once unified under gov
| eminent control and operation the
railroads will never be "unscrambled. -
1t is argued that when the economies
made possible by government co-or-
dtnatfon and the elimination of com
petition are achieved, neither the rail-
road owner nor user nor worker will
wish to return to the old order.
There is much to sustain this view.
which the logic of the situation seems
TO support, but it is equally certain
that few who talk glfbly of this com
ING OF government ownership have any
comprehension of what it implies. or
grasp at all the many factors in the
equation
1t is said that many railroad execu-
tives now believe it to. be inevitable
that Washington is reconciled to it.
that the labor leaders desire it. and
that even the railroad stockholders
look forward to it with complaisance
This state of mind, so far as it exists
4 certainly followed the feeling of re-
lief which the whole public shared
when the government took in hand
attempting to solve an impossible stu
alton in transportation which it had
been the chief factor in creating. The
general feeling, perhaps, was that any
change must be for, the better and il
the only possible change must be gov
eminent ownership. then let it come.
But before this conclusion is reached
in the minds of the public, and GER.
tainly long before such a step i.
taken, the propriety of giving some
study to the experience of other coun.
tries in government ownership OF
transpoi tation may seem obvious.

used resources, shows a steadily
growing production of combined nj
trates. Her production of ammonium
sulphate in 1911 was only 524 tons;
in 1915 it was 16, $50 tons; and in 1916
was estimated at 32,760 tons.
These statistics strikingly show how
the physical vitality and fighting pow
er of nations are proportional TO their
ability to capture this element by
combining it with Others so that they
ture it into explosives.
Our own future is safe enough
When all of our beehive ovens have
been done away with, our production
from coke manufacture alone will be
doubled. Scientists predict. too. that
before many years all burning of coal
as coal will cease; coke will be used
exclusively for fuel. Inasmuch as
we have in our western lands coal
supply that is estimated to be suffi-
cfent for thousand years, it is seen
that our potential resources from this
source alone are enormous. Then,
too. the fixation of the unlimited sup
ply of nitrogen in the atmosphere is
undoubtedly to be the great source of
the future. Water power furnishes
the most economical and practicable
force for effecting this conversion, and
we have great resources in water pow
er which will be developed under leg
islation now before congress. The
American of the future will not lack
for this vital element. But our pres
emit problem is none the less a serious
one, and government control of all
production of ammonium sulphate is a
most important step toward it's solu-
ton.

Hank" Thomas. the re~doubtable
athlete of this city is back in town
again after being away to an army
camp for about eight months. Hank"
who has been making quite a rep for
himself on the Pacific Coast, at Camp
Fremont, was mustered out of the
service and is now available for any
fast FIVE that needs a crack all-round
basketball player. Hank" blew into
town yesterday with his same old
smile that has won him numerous
friends wherever he goes.
Thomas is one Of h local boys that
were a bit peeved by the signing OF
the armistice, as he was at an officers
training camp md was in line for q
speedy commission. Hank" first went
to Camp Humphreys, Virginia, where
he was a pal of "Goopy" Balint, an
other of Amboy's best athletes, who
later succumbed to the Spanish infiu-
enza. From Humphreys. Hank" was
sent to Camp Fremont, California,
where he played football on the camp
eleven. Although this team was made
up of ex-college football stars, u
Hank" won himself a place on this
aggregation as q back and at that po-
sition helped materially In winning
the western championship for Camp
Fremont.
Hank" was in the midst OF q sue
cessful basketball season with the
camp five when he was discharged. It
is likely hat Thomas will don an ALL

Holman, Kaufman and Handerhan.
