FRINGE FAVORED.

Most of the frocks marked at sub stantial prices have fringe trimmings; for fringe is fashions hallmark of eXclusiveness just now. Some of the fringes that drop from overskirts and tunics are almost half a yard deep and the Overskirts and skirts beneath are very narrow, making the figure as slim and 1.-the as possible. With these narrow skirts go button-in- back bodices fitted to the figure by darts, and bodice and skirt are joined by a broad, folded sash with long fringed ends. The tight little fitted bodice, however, molds itself over a brassiere that gives natural figure lines, and the less curve there is to the bust the more fashionable the effect.

They have been kept busy making mats and baskets The boys were taught suit able occupations for their enjoyment and the girls sewing, knitting, and in general all the little helpful lessons that children find useful later in life.

WARE AGAINST
EXTRA SESSION
Philadelphia Leader Says II
Would Be Ridiculous to
Go to the Expense

According to Philadelphia newspa-
pers of this morning, Senator Edwin
IL. Ware, one of the biggest factors
3n the Republican party in Pennsyl-
Nania and close friend and support
er of Governor Brumbaugh, Is
against an extra session of the Leg
5slature. He is quoted as calling 1t
ridiculous" Newspapers also say
attorney General Brown is against
the idea, but he is not quoted.
The extra session suggestion was
first heard two weeks ago just be-
fore Governor Brumbaugh went to
FLORIDA. Then it was banded about
that the Governor had been sounding
out sentiments of such people as got
1c see him. The Governor it was in
timated, was interested in knowing
what the people thought of the idea
of calling an extra session to re-
apportion the state. There has been
no reapportionment since 1906 and
several Congressman favorable to the
state administration and also facing
JlBhts would ike TO see 1t changed.
Not only has Senator Ware mani
tested disapproval of the plan, but
other administration supporters have
taken filings at it. Highway Com
missioner O'Neil has refused to dis
cuss it. but some of his friends are
against the plan.

RAILROAD RUMBLES|
FREIGHT MOVES
MORE RAPIDLY
Hang Up New Record on the
Pennsy in Eighteen Days;
More Cars

The Pennsylvania Railroad report
ed yesterday a marked Improvement
in shipments of soft coal and general
freight as the result of the mild
weather of the last two weeks.
In the first eighteen days of Feb
ruary 1880 cars of bituminous coal
passed Lewistown Junction, the most
important point on the lines east of
Pittsburgh. This compares. the rail-
road officials say, with 1914 cars in
the corresponding period of January
and 1861 cars in December.
In other branches of freight serV-
ice a decided improvement also has
set in. Empty boXcars. westbound' on
the lines east of Pittsburgh. have de-
creased from 6.652 on February to
1,441 on February Is. Loaded cars
eastbound in the same period decreas-
ed from 7.505 to 1,571.
Car Movement
The coalcar movement past CAL
litzin. Pa, on the Pittsburgh Division,
one of the observation points most
frequently used. shows for the week
ended February is, an increase OF
more than so per, cent. as compared
with the last week of January, dur
ing which severe weather conditions
prevailed.
The eastbound bituminous move
ment in the eighteen days of Febru-
arly is also noteworthy for the fact
that for the first time since last sum-
mer it shows an increase compared
with the corresponding period a year
ago. The gain over the first eigh-
teen days of January 1917, was 1855
cars, or nearly 3 per cent.
Car supply Improves
That a general improvement is near
in the car supply at the bituminoGs
mines is indicated by the statement
that in the ten days ended February
"a
loaded at bituminous mines tapped by
the Pennsylvania. In the first ten
days of January 24,067 cars were
loaded. The gain was nearly 200 cars
daily.
In the period from February 12 to
16, inclusive, the latest for which re-
ports are obtainable. the daily load
ing of bituminous has ranged from
200 to 5000 or more cars, compared
with 2400 cars the latter part of
January

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food, distress
after eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di-
gestors, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injur-
ing beyond repair every nerve in his
body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elas-
ticity into it, and make it sturdy
enough to digest a hearty meal with
out artificial aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by II. c. Kennedy, and
is rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion. or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-
ma. and is sold in small tablet form
in large boxes, for only a few cents

HIGH PER CENT.
IN EFFICIENCY
Tests Made by Pennsy Off
cials Show Employees Fol
low Rules Closely

In a systematic series of tests, un-
known to employees of the Pennsyf-
vania Railroad, a percentage of 100
in efficiency was reached. These
tests covered a period of several
months, monthly figures being re-
corded. High percentages were
reached on the Middle and Phila-
delphia divisions.
These tests were made in train
operating, safety rules and signals
Up to yesterday, when the final per-
centage was estimated, a total of 29,-
S5S were reported by officials in an
examination of the alertness of en-
gineers, conductors and track la
borerS. In monthly tests a clean
score of 100 has been recorded on
the Middle division several times.
The tests included all kinds of
trials. including obedience to block
signals, lights, speed and attention
to faulty pieces of roadbed, and to
defective cars and rigging. In zoo
cases, stop" or "slow down" sig
nails were thrown against trains un-
expectedly and observations made to
ascertain whether engineers acted
promptly in obeying the warnings.
Trainmen and engineers have no
way of knowing when these tests
are being pulled off, and for this
reason the efficiency reached is all
the more gratifying from an Off
cial standpoint. On the Middle di-
vision bulletins are published every
month, showing the results of tests,
and also complimenting employees
for reporting defective rails and cars
and faulty roadbeds.

State Organizers Busy
Lining Up P. r. R. Shopmen

Altoona, Pa, Feb. 20. - The most
pretentious effort ever made to or
ganize the Pennsylvania Railroad
shopmen here into their trade organi-
cations affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor was started yes
terday, when six organizers establish
ed headquarters in this city. 1t is the
purpose to organize the men into
craft subdivisions of the mechanical
section of the railroad division of
the Federation. and machinists, boil
ermakers, blacksmiths, sheet metal
workers, electricians and carmen are
affected.
Railroad officials admit the organ
izers have begun work, and say it is
up to the men whether they desire
to organize or not. 1t is intimated
that the company will not interfere
with the work of the organizers.
General Organizer James C. Sause
stated that 1t was his purposed to or
ganize the shopmen so that they
could present their wage demands to
the Federal Wage Adjustment Board
and obtain better working conditions.
A movement to organize the shopmen
in 1911 resulted in strike.

Classification of Employees
Now Under Consideration

Washington. Feb. 20.-Deferred
classification for railroad employees
is under consideration between the
War Department and the railroad
administration, it became known to-
day.
The War Department objects to
giving special consideration to rail-
way employees as q class, insisting
that the case of each man should be
considered individually as to wheth-
er he is indispensable.
The policy does not satisfy the
railroad administration. which con-
tends that few railroad men are ac-
tually indispensable and that unless
some uniform action is prescribed,
local exemption boards may be in
cined to refuse deferred Classifica-
ton to thousands of necessary en-
ployes who have no dependents.
Nearly 100000 railroad men are
within the draft age. But the ac-
tual number which would be affect
ed by such a ruling is estimated at
less than 100000.
