TIGHT SKIRTS UPSET
PENNSYLVANIA ROAD
TRAIN SCHEDULES
AVERAGE STOPPING TIME AT
STATIONS SHOWS IN
CREASE

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 81. -
Tight skirts worn by women pas
sengers have upset railroad sched-
ules on the railroads.
The Pennsylvania railroad, with
scientific accuracy, has found that
since women have began wearing
tight skirts the average stopping
time of a train at a station is now
II seconds longer than it was when
the skirts were short and roomy
around the bottom.
In reply to a complaint of the
South Jersey Commuters associa-
ton that trains were not run on
time, the management gave this
information and stated that unless
styles in skirts change very soon
the running time of local trains
must be heightened.

RUSSIANS SEEK HELP TO FIGHT REDS

ism spreading from the north will
enable the voluntary army to con-
solidate and to grow. 1t will be
possible by CONSUMPTION to convert
this voluntary army into a vast
army in the south of Russia and,
together with Siberia and the
northern territory, to crush the
Bolsheviki and reunite the whole
of free Russia in the coming
spring.
Therefore the allied help is not
required for the purpose of taking
an offensive against the Bolsheviki
but to create conditions that will
enable the same elements to or
game themselves, to create a
government mechanism and an
army. All the rest as well as the
internal organization of the coun-
try must be left to the Russians
themselves.

DEADLY GAS USED

MADE FOR EN-
ENVY

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 = The
deadly phosgene gas once used on
the battlefront in France now has
been employed in the peaceful pur-
suit Of bleaching sand used in the
manufacture of eyeglasses and
optical lenses, according to DR..
David T. Day of the geOphysical
laboratory of the Carnegie insti-
tate.
This gas is composed of chlorine,
oxygen and carbon monoxide. 1t
destroys the IRON oxide which caus-
es the red and brownish tints of
sand, says the American Chemical
society. 1t adds that the United
States has a firm grip on the man
ufacture of phOsgene gas with
which this country was prepared to
overwhelm the German armies.
This has given the United States
an opportunity to manufacture OPP
teal glass which formerly were
imported and it is announced that
all the 121 varieties of glasses now
can be produced in this country
with ease.

scoffed at the suggestion.
The laundries had all they could
do to attend to their old custom

ones, and bundle after bundle sent
out by generals and colonies and
privates were returned in a hurry.
And back again to the washerwo-
men went the bundles. and the wo-

FIELDS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 81. =
Scarcity of mine timber is a seri-
Gus problem that confronts the
anthracite coal mining industry to-
day.
Lumber is just as necessary in
mining coal as is the drill, the
blast. the motor engine and the
mine car. Every foot of fresh
wood is being jealousy husbanded
for the reason that practically all
the mountains in the anthracite
region have been denuded of tim
Der.
Shipments of gangway, slope
and shaft timber from the south
have been largely cut off by de-
mands of the government. In in
stances timber shipped from Geor-
gia consigned to the mines was
Communicated by the government.
Concrete is coming more and more
into use, but at the present time
timber is required and it is scarce.
Without it progress cannot be made
in efforts to increase the output of
coal.

Long Service in the Majors.

This great length OF service would
stamp Emsie as one who has made an
almost perfect success in the position
His long service in the majors is the best
evidence that he has attended 70 his
duties in an honest and fearless manner
Emslie stands a great deal from players
because he always admires a fighter of
the right sort, one who battles tooth and
nail to win games. He has consider
able feeling for a chap of that type,
but the senseless kicker and user OF pro-
fame language he will not tolerate, and
uses his authority TO the limit In order
to regulate this class OF players.
Emslie's experience as a big league
umpire would fill very large book, and,
we might add, an interesting one. How
ever, very few have ever succeeded in
getting Robert Emslie TO divulge much
baseball ore, and In consequence the
baseball public have missed something.

who has made record and reputation
