to with wit and good wishes by each
of the guests.-Atlanta Constitution.

THE CAR SHORTAGE
Continued from First Page

ties was greatly restricted by scarcity
of material and labor. Since the war
l. has been impossible to enter upon,
or carry out, an extensive program
for enlargement of railroad capacity,
because of the uncertainty as to the
status of the railroads. The railroad
administration was not provided with
money and therefore could not origi-
nate or carry out such program.
The railroad companies, in view of
the uncertainty, were unwilling to
that the railroad facilities of the coun-
try are decidedly below what the traf-
fc demands. Nevertheless, the max
irnum traffic is being handler and this
is being done with less shortage of
transportation than manifested itself
any time in the pre-war period.
Particular attention is being paid
by the railroad administration to the
furnishing of necessary equipment for
the transportation of coal and grain.
Conditions have developed which have
made it necessary to handle the wheat
situation in an emergency way. This
situation has been complicated by the
fact that many of the elevators are
full and it has been impracticable to
move additional wheat to points
where the elevators are full, because,
to do so would cause large numbers
o. railroad cars to be filled with grain
which could not be disposed of at des-
tination and this would result in prac-
tically taking such cars out of trans
portation service and using them for
storage and depriving the public gen.
orally of cars which are badly needed
The railroad administration is follow
ing this matter very vigorously with
the grain corporations and the direc-
tor general will consider the matter
personally at meeting of interested
railroad officers, representatives of
the grain corporation and others, to
be held at Chicago this week.
AS to the situation in Texas, where
the wheat conditions are particularly
acute, because the crop there is APP
proximately 25.00O,000 bushels larger
than last year, and where there is a
scarcity of material storage facilities,
arrangements are being made through
the grain corporation, for the sending
OF additional cargo vessels to Calves
ton and arrangements. have already
been made for the increase in number
of permits for carloads of wheat into
Galveston, from so to 100 per day
Particular efforts are being made to
move wheat which is on the ground
and is thus exposed to the weather.

HEED OLD AGE
Ounce of Prevention Better Than
Pound of Cure

With influenza again making in
roads into the health of the country,
the old adage, "an ounce of prevention
is better than a pound of sure" never
meant more than it does now.
A Bounce bottle of Dr.. Williams
101 Tonic will save many pounds of
cure. 1O1 Tonic contains Quinine,
Iron and Magnesia. This is a proper
combination where cases of colds. la
grippe, fever and maalria. as we'll as

During the influenza epidemic
which covered the country in October,
1918, the sale sof 1O1 Tonic increased
more than 500 per cent. This proves
that 101 Tonic is an effective treat
ment for this disease.

ease, but acts as a general tonic

EAMES--KIDDER.
Marriage Took Place at Brides Home in
Montpelier.

A quiet wedding took place at the
home OF Mrs Ella kidder, 25 Court
street, Montpelier, at s o'clock last night,
when her daughter, Ida Blanche kidder,
WAS united in marriage TO John Byron
Eames OF Barre. The couple were unat-
tended, and only the immediate families
witnessed the ceremony, performed by
Rev. Charles n. St. John, pastor of the
Bethany church, the single ring service
being used. The bride was handsomely
dressed in white satin and georgette.
The room was prettily decorated with
ferns and roses. Immediately after the
ceremony, luncheon was served the
party.
The couple left early to-day on an au-
tomobile tour through the White noun
tains, along the beaches as far as Nova
Scotia, being absent for a month, after
which they win be at home in Barre.
Mrs. Eames is graduate Of Goddard
seminary, class of 1908, and the Faction
School of Music, Boston. Since the open
ing Of the Park theatre, she has acted
acceptably as pianist. The groom is a
graduate Of Holderness school, Plym
outh, n H., and IS manager of the Park
theatre. Although the wedding was not
wholly unexpected, it came as a surprise
to the many friends of the couple, who
will extend best wishes.

witnessed the service was Mrs. Mary

NO MORE FLIGHTS BY
AIRPL4NE IN Barre
Machine Damaged So Badly That 1t Will
Be Taken Down and Shipped to
Boston By Freight.

No more flights are to be made by
the Hamm Whittemore plane that land
ed Friday at the trotting park, for the
machine was damaged beyond immediate
repairs. Upon examination it was found
that not only was the propeller broken,
but one wheel was completely demoi-
ished and the framework that contained
the 500-pound Hall-Scott four cylinder
engine was destroyed The repairs nee
essary to put the machine in condition
for flying purposes would take the two
men who came with the plane three
weeks to repair it. Orders were received
from the Boston Office to take the ma
chine apart and ship it back on the spe-
cial freight car that was being sent from
Boston. This car is expected to arrive
to-day and until the two men, Pilot
NJ, w. Hodgdon and Mechanician Ralph
j. Dale, have started it on its homeward
journey they viii be detained in Barre.
Though nothing definite has been de
cided upon, there is considerable talk of
having a flying field in Barre. This
would accommodate any machine that
might have occasion to pass through this

able Barre later to have aerial mail
service and would be most convenient

ada. Once established, the Barre station
would undoubtedly receive an occasional
visit from some aeroplane, for as yet
there is only one landing field in the
whole state of Vermont.

"The difficulties we meet at every

TORN FROM MOORING
BY VIOLENT GUST
R-54 Was Kept from Escape at Mineola
Only by the Great Exertion of
800 Men.

Mneola, July THE R-34 was torn
from its mooring this morning by vio-
lent gust of wind. The cross girder to
which the rope was attached, broke un-
der the strain ripping hole six feet by
three feet in the gas bag The giant
dirigible was saved from being blown
away by three hundred men, who seized
ropes hanging from her siHs and held
her down with great difficulty.
The breeze stiffened as the sun rose
and the American army balloon mechan-
les had all they could do to hold the
mammoth airship As she swayed in
the wind the clinging men were swept off
their feet in relays.
The officers in charge of the dirigible
ordered the work of overhauling rushed
in order that she could start on her re-
turn voyage at the earliest possible mo-
ment in view of the danger to which she
was exposed This is the first time the
super Zeppelin has been moored in the
open air, always having been anchored
previously in airdromes with adequate
wind shields In spite of all possible
haste the dirigible engineers believe it
will be only with exceptional luck that
the airship can start at the scheduled
hour Of o'clock tomorrow morning.
They consider it imperative that her en-
gines be overhauled thoroughly first, and
the violent swaying of the huge gas bag
renders this work slow and difficult.
Immediately after the accident Major
Scott climbed into the forward gondols
and inspected the damage. He announced
later that the rip in the gas bag could
easily be mended One explanation of
the parting Of the mooring rope by the
dirigible officers was that the rising sun
had so expanded the hydrogen in the gas
bag that the lifting effect had been in
creased by eight tons.
The officers say they do not expect
the same difficulties they experienced
during their westward voyage, as wealth
er reports promise westerly winds and
arrangements have been made by which
they hope to obtain fuller and more fire.

AIRPLANE COMPLETELY WRECKED
Two Occupants Were Not Severely In,
jured at Springfield.

Springfield, July THE airpane
which was brought to Springfield and
gave several exhibition flights here on
the Fourth, was completely wrecked on
Saturday afternoon shortly after
o'clock on its fifth flight. Ensign y. A.
Terhune, who gave the exhibition on
the preceding day, made four trips from
the field Saturday morning, carrying pas
sengers on some of them.
The pilot on the trip in which the ma
chine was wrecked, was Il. H. Parker Of
Boston and he had as passenger II, L.
Latin Of this town, He rose from the
aviation field to height of about 200
feet, when his machine came in contact
with down current or "hole," and he
plunged toward the ground
He was not high enough in the air to
make a successful nose dive, and the ma
chine hit the earth, practically demolish-
ing it.
1t is possible that the engine may be
repaired but the wings and propellers
are badly smashed
The pilot and his passenger were not

LIFT CENSORSHIP
WITH THE BLOCKADE
That Is the Recommendation Concerning
Germany to Be Made to Allied
Council in Paris.

Paris, July Removal of the censor
ship on communications with Germany
was on the program for discussion at the
session of the allied council this after
noon. 1t is understood that the supreme
economic council has recommended that
the censorship be lifted coincident with
the raising of the blockade. The recon.
mendation, it is considered, win be ap.
proved.
Discussions with the Germans regard.
ing certain terms of the peace treaty
concerning reparations were to have been
begun early this week, but it developed
to-day that the beginning Of the oral ex-
changes had been postponed until Thurs
day, the German representatives having
failed to arrive from Berlin.
The commission of admirals appointed
to consider the disposition of the re.
naming German warships submitted
their report TO the council to-day. In
effect the report states that no recon
mendations on the question are possible
until certain matters OF policy have been
decided by the powers In all probabil.
ity the whole question will be finally re.
ferred to the governments of the various
powers concerned.
As the situation stands now. Japan
and the United States are understood to
favor breaking up or sinking the re.
naming warships. Great Britain ap,
proves the plan to break them up, while
Italy agrees TO their destruction condi.
tionally, but ii this plan is not carried
out Italy insists upon having her share
of the vessels in case they are diyidad
among the powers. France opposes the
destruction of the vessels and desires
their distribution Some Of the smaller
powers, notably Poland, approve the plan
TO destroy the vessels.
