WOMEN DRIVE MOTOR TRUCKS
Not So Dressy as Some Jobs, but lt's HeaIthfuI, According to One
 of Them.

To release skilled mechanics for other work and thus give some help in the war, there are seven girls at one motor factory whose daily tasks con sist in driving newly finished cars from the factory to the shipping dock.
 And the girls won't trade jobs now for any of the purely feminine pur- suits, says the Washington Times. They get greasy and dirty-they have had to throw away chamois and pow der puffs because they are futile-but still they like the job and they all say they would not trade it for place at the kitchen sink or on the firing end of a sewing machine.
 "It's a much better job than being department-store detective" Mrs. Lotta Dupuis, who formerly ripped shoplifters and sneak thieves in a downtown store, says. 'Of course it isn't so dressy, but it's healthier and I like it better. Also can make more money for the support of my three kiddies."
 Mrs. Wanda Ludcrnan backs up Mrs Dupuis. She formerly was a govern ment operative in rounding up viola tors of the Harrison narcotic law.
 'T took the job because I wanted to help the government, and every wom- an who does one mans work releases a man for the firing liIe," said Mrs Ludeman.

Welsh lntermarrying.

A remarkable instance of Welsh family intermarrying is given in quaint chronicle of local events kept by one Peter Roberts, notary public, of St. Asaph, who died in 1646. He wrote: Upon Saturday evening, the xxviith day of Novr., 1924, Thomas Mostyn, Esq, and Gwen Parrie, wid- ow, the late wife of the late revd. father in God, Richard Parrie, late Lord Bishop of St. Assph, deceased, were married; and also William Mostyn, gent, son and heir apparent of the said Thomas Mostyn, and one Anne Parrie, one of the younger daughters of the said late Lord Bishop, were likewise married the day and year aforesaid; and Richard Parrie, son and heir of the said late Lord Bishop, and Marie Mostyn, third daughter of the said Thomas Mostyn. were then married"

DOCTOR FITTED FOR LEADER
Much in Knowledge of Medicine to Equip Man for High Pub
 lie Service.

There is much in the knowledge of medicine to fit man for the high call ing of lawgiver and leader of the people, says Dr. Frederick Peterson, in the Century. He continues:
 "To reach the goal of national health, the physicians accumulated knowledge and experience must be brought to bear upon the laws which relate to fit marriages, to housing and the food supply, to education, occupa-. tions, recreations, hygiene and sanita- tion, to contagious diseases, alcohol ism, poverty and crime; in short, upon every law which relates directly or in directly to the health and well-being of the people. His interest reaches into the depths of sociology, biology and philosophy, to the relations be- tween persons and groups, between na- tions and races. The interests of medi- cine are fixed only by the boundaries of life itself. When the great state, with its great free municipalities is at length established, when war and pov- erty and disease and unemployment, as we know them, have been banished to the vast rubbish heap of mans out grown ignorance and folly, it may be that the physicians of that nobler time will be expected to frame wise laws not only to insure individual health but to prevent the disease to which the organism of the state, the body polite, has in all earlier social stages been subject"

Lusty old Aue.

What time of life can be compared to the time of lusty old age? Does white hair betoken failing ,powersl Nay, no more than the snow that crowns the giant old pine betokens any weakness or decay of the tree. The head and the hairs of our coming Redeemer shall be white like wool, as white as snow." Herein is the mystery of the strength of old age.
 As is lusty tree. so is a lusty old man. He knoweth the secrets of heaven and earth, and he beareth fruit to the last. He dieth not easily, but like great oak, whose roots go deep into the earth; he is laid low only by mighty cataclysm of nature.

NO POLITICS FOR
RAILROAD MEN

Washington, Sept. 2. - Director
General McAdoo today ordered all
railroad men, officials and employees
alike, to keep out of politics.
Coming state and federal elections,
as well as the primary contests, the
director general of railroads an
nOunced in formal statement to all
railroad men, make it imperative
that .he conduct of all should be SO
scrupulously regarded that there can
be no charge, direct or indirect, of
railroad influence.
Pointing out that while railroads
were under private management it
was common report that their par
.icipation in politics was widespread.
Mr.. McAdoo declares that under gov
ernment control there are no longer
private interests to serve and that
the incentive to political activity no
longer exists.
"Undcr governments CONTROL, says
the announcement, ''there is no in
Gucemenl to offer to engage in poll
tics. On the contrary they own a
high duty to the public scrupulously
to abstain therefrom." ."
As a definite policy of The Railroad
Administration, MIR, McAdoo an
nounced that no railroad officer, at
torney or employe may do any OF
the following things:
Be an officer or member of any
political committee or organization
which solic.ts funds for political pur-
poses,
Be a delegate, a chairman, or an
officer in any political convention.
Solicit or receive funds for any
political purpose or contribute to
any political fund collected by an Of
iiCial or employee OF any raiIfoau'
or any official or employe of the
United States or of any state.
Assume the conduct of any poli.-
ical campaign.
Attempt to coerce or intimidate an
other officer or employe in his vote.
Violation of this rule, Mr., McAdoo
says viii result in immediate dis
missal

ical office Those who desire TO rur
for office or engage in politics mus

Let us demonstrate no the Amer

troll, railroad officers, attorneys and
employees cannot be made part of
any political machine nor be used
for any organized partisan or selfish
purpose. Let us set such a high
standard of public duty and service
that ii will be worthy of general en-
