Recall Adamson Law
Railroad Brotherhood Heads
Advised Senate.

Washington-The oft-repeated yarn
that the railroad brotherhoods forced
congress to pass the Adamson law
under threat of strike was denied by
President Stone of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers while opposing
the Cummins railroad bill which would
prohibit strikes of these employees.
The story was recently denied by
former President Garretson of the
Order Of Railway Conductors before
senate committee.
President Stone took occasion to re.
fute this yarn when a senator repeated
it. The brotherhood executive said.
81 want to challenge that statement.
am acquainted with every move
made by the railroad employees in that
campaign, and / now declare that we
did not want the Adamson law; it
was not our bill and we did not urge
its passage. At the request of the
president we (the four executives J
and 600 general chairmen waived our
original demands. We didn't like the
Adamson law then and we don't like
it now"

IF there is any school In Ohio that
fails to make fitting observance of the
anniversary of the occasion l shall be
sincerely regretful," declared supt
Pearson.
Colonel Roosevelt has been the
hero Of the youth of America as no
other man of his time has been. If
the school child generation of today
could be brought up thoroughly i'm
bued with the spirit that animated his
every action this would be a far diff
ferent country a quarter of q century
hence.
Above all else the Colonel stood
for fair play and Justice If out of
this effort to build a memorial to his
worth it could be possible to incul-
cate his spirit in the minds of the
school children we would have built a
memorial that will bear fruit for gen.
erations to come in better. a cleaner
and a more considerate citizenship"
School children everywhere in Ohio
will be asked to participate In a gen.
eral silger subscription to the memo
rial fund, either on the occasion OF the
memorial exercises or earlier in the
campaign week, depending entirely
upon faculty decision

278 Royal Persons
EXiIed in GERMANY

A German professor figures out
that the abdications and dethrone-
ments in Germany include 27S
persons. Bavaria leads with one
king, one queen, fifteen princes,
sixteen princesses, five dukes and
one duchess. Prussia has sent
thirty-three royalists into exile,
including the emperor, empress,
twenty princes and seven prin-
cesses. Brunswick is at the bot
tom of the list with only the du-
cal couple and their three chill
dren. The two tiny pricipalities
of Reuss, whose area is hardly
one three-hundredth part of that
of Prussia, have eXiled thirty
six royalties.
The principality of Lippe, only
about twenty square miles larger
than the Reuss states, had a roy
al family numbering twenty
four persons. Most extraordi-
nary is the case of Schaumburg-
Lippe with it's area of 100 square
miles where there was nearly one
royal parsonage for every five
square miles. These included the
reigning prince, seventeen princes
and seven princesseS.

BEST RESULTS IN STREAMING
MILK

Experiments conducted for the
United States department of agricul-
ture furnish the following facts re-
garding the value and proper care of
milk strainers.
Sediment in milk indicates care
lessness in it's production or han
ding. Keep dirt out.
Straining takes out only the
coarse particles of dirt and removes
neither the bacteria and fine dirt
nor disagreeable f1avors.
Proper straining improves the COM
mercial quality of milk, but does
not appreciably improve it's whole
SomenesS.
Filter cloth and absorbent cotton
layers of cheesecloth are efficient
materials for StrainerS.
Cheesecloth alone, even when fold
ed several times, is relatively inef-
fective. Wire gauze fails to remove
any but the very coarse impurities.
Change straining cloths whenever
they become soiled. Wash and ster-
ilize them after each using. Use a
fresh absorbent-cotton filter at ev-
cry milking.
For detailed information on milk
strainers write to the dairy divi-
sion, United States department of
agriculture, Washington, D. c..

PUSSY'S WHISPERS

Although hirsute adornments of all
kinds, whiskers included. were once
the real and indispensable thing,
modern sanitary practice has made
such inroads on unharvested boards
and long hair that only a few scat
tered humans still retain their hairy
luxuriance. Notwithstanding this,
however, the house cat has grown
and nurtured it's crop of whiskers
or feelers for the last million years
or so without bothering about hy-
giene. Naturalists say that the cats
-whIskers are absolutely necessary to
it. The whiskers are as long as the
cats head is wide, and the head
is as wide as the body, so wherever
the whiskers go there may the cat
go also. The tiny, delicate hairs
grow from a gland and are nerved
to the utmost sensibility. No matter
how light the touch of the hair
against an obstacle it is instantly
felt by the cat.
To ventilate a poultry house does
not mean that holes should be
knocked into 1t so that draughts win
pour through, nor that the openings
are large enough to admit the rain.
