Harbinaer of War Fable.

Since ancient days the locust has
been the flying wing of superstition
People forget from 1912 till 1910 that
the locust has markings on his wings
which carry a distinct letter w, which,
when noticed, usually results in many
stories that war is at hand. the letter
W being supposed to stand for the
word, war. But the fallacy of such
a supposition is in itself evident from
the fact that the word for war In
French does not begin with w, nor
does it in italian or Spanish.

Mems and Womens clothing is often
discarded before it is worn out be-
cause of the Objectionable "shine''
which appears on material after a
short time. This condition can be
rcmedled by sponging the shiny places
on the garment with pure vinegar
boiling hot. Rub the vinegar into the
material plentifully and vigorously.
Then press with pressing iron as
uSual. This process should be repeat
ed whenever the shine reappears.-

CHEEKY Kitchen.

Women who perform their house
work unaided should see to it that the
kitchen is made as CHEEKY and conven.
lent as possible. Perhaps, if many q
housewives steps were counted, 1t
would be found that she travels sey-
eral weary miles each day, yet great
deal of this unnecessary eXertion could
be avoided if her kitchen were fitted
up with Il few labor-saving devices and
all surplus furniture, pictures and sun
dry shelves that catch dust and make
Il lot of work were removed.

Trunk railroad by Mrs. Henrietta
Prouty, widow of the former Govern
or of Vermont, for his death on a
railroad crossing in Quebec, was so
great at the Federal Building in New
port today that more than half of
those who wished to attend were
turned away.
The first witness called was Will
lard r. Prouty, half brother of eX-
Governor Prouty and president of
the Jackman Lumber Co. which is
connected with Prouty & Miller Co.
He testified that his brother, George,
at the time of his death was a man of
exceptional executive ability; a dir
ector of the Boston & Maine Railroad
and that his financial credit was eX-
ceptionally good He claimed the
value of the Prouty & Miller Com
pany's property exclusive of the
Jackman, Mansfield G. Richardson
Companies was $800,00C, in which the
Ex-Governor had one-third interest.
Chief train agent, McCrae Of the
Grand Trunk Eaj''o@l system testi
fed that he and Atty, Redmond had
taken several pictures at the Gov
eminent crossing, showing an en-
CINE at a conStll1 distance of go
feet from the crossing with the CAM
era stationed at from 10 to 40 feet
from the center Of the track. These
pictures were introduced as exhibits.
The photogrA ne, John +. Cork.
testified that ne was a graduate of
Boulder College Of Colorado and
Photographic OK CT fo; the Grand
Trunk Railroad. Blue prints of the
crossing were presented BY Civil In
gineer, Murgatroj1.

Civil Engineer of the Grand Trunk
Railroad, a man of twelve years eX-
perience and a graduate of Purdue
University explained the work of the
closed circuit as applied to the auto
matte electric bell in question. He
claimed that the continuous ringing
of the bell was due to foggy weather.
In wet weather, he testified that the
electric current was dissipated
through the rails and track.
He admitted that this particular
bell was not installed according to the
specifications of the public service
act. He said that there was no in
sulation at the end of the rails at
the end ofthe bell circuit, thus deem
ergizing the batteries causing the
bell to ring continuously.
Horton Wheelright, an engineer of
the Maintainence of Ways of the
United States railroad administration
claimed that the danger from the lack
of installation affected only those
trains from the North.

the inquest at Sherbrook, testified
that at the time of the examination
shortly after the accident, Blay, the
chauffeur, was calm and sincere in
speech and seemed to be in perfect
mind and in possession of all his fac
ulties when he testified.
Fred Aver and Roy o. auckland
testified that they passed the Water
vile crossing four times daily and
that the bell was ringing at $50 on
the morning of the accident.

METHODIS7S TO GET
 JOBS FOR SOLDIERS
Local Churches to Form Employ
 ment Bureaus
Every soldier and sailor

Every soldier and sailor in the congregations of the Methodist churches of New England will be of fered a job on employment Sunday, May f, announced c. C. Dorchester. chairman of the Methodist Minute Men for Boston Area yesterday.
 In every church in Boston dis. trict the appeal will be made by the minute men to the employers in the audience to put a slip in the con- tribution boxes stating how many men they will employ. Soldiers and sailors wishing employment may also put their names and addresses in the plate or may meet the repre- sentative of the minute men, who will be on duty at the door to see that the employer and employee get together.
 The formerly enlisted men do not have to be members of the Methodist church or of any church in order to get the aid of the minute men. The fact they have served their country in the great war for democracy is sufficient recommendation for every Methodist employer to give them a chance.
 1le lOCal CnufCnGS are to form q sort of local employment bureau in this way which will cooperate with the Federal Employment service and tho y. M, C. A. Employment bureau In obtaining positions for returned men.
 When it is considered that hun. dreds of thousands of Methodist boys fought under the flag, it is no more than just that the Methodist church should do all in her power to give every soldier d chance to earn decert living" said 31r Dorches-

All this was accomplished by Interviewing applicants, 211 times in the office, and by the agent and visitor making 120 visits in behalf of families both at their homes and in conference with relatives, pastors, etc. Results were 'obtained by telephone inter- views of which there were 254 in March, dealing wholly with the work of the Charity organization society, and A calls of @ business nature were beneficial to the work.
 For the benefit of the 26 families receiving material aid. S120.25 was spent from the treasurer's fund, and $71.86 from the agents special fund. Friends presenting us with partly worn shoes to give away made it pos sible to keep our shoe bill down to six pairs for $12.54. Aid was organ ized from outside the societys funds to the amount of s31.76, making $236.40 expended through charity or ganization demands.
