.EMULATES HoRATIUS OF OLD
Chaplain Holds the Bridge as 5raYely as D!d the Roman
 Captain.

Cleveland, O.-"Horatius at the Bridge" had nothing on Rev. James NJ. Hanley of Cleveland, chaplain of 8 reg iment In France. According to stories drifting back from the front, the chap lain was wounded while holding a bridge the Huns sought to take. AS 1t Is related here by friends of the for mer priest, a captain and few sol diers were detailed to hold the bridge against heavy odds. The captain said It couldn't be done without more men. "Why, l can hold that bridge with club" Hanley Is said to have declared.
 Then do It." the captain answered as he hurried off for re-enfOrcements.
 The soldiers, inspired by the action of the chaplain, rallied around him and held the contested bridge until the captain returned with more men and made the bridge safe.

It was bad business but 1t was good Christian conduct to help your friend. Don't regret 1t. You were poor and of an age when the boys pranks were troublesome to both of you, but you took him in.

I observed with satisfaction that the village boys did not make fun of me when I passed them as they did when I wore the pettlcoat trousers. Mir. and Mrs. Wright came along with the crowd, by and by, and Colonel Medad Moody. We had supper with the Senator on the seat with us. He and my uncle began to talk about the tightness of money and the banking laws and I remember a remark of my uncle, for there was that in his tone which could never forget:
 "We poor people are trusting you to look out for us-we poor people are trusting you to see that we get treated fair. We're havln' 8 hard lima"

 The idea occurred to me lhat I would make a kind of sled which was called 6 jumper.
 So I got my ax out of the wagon and soon found couple of small trees with the right crook for the forward end of a runner, and cut them and hewed their bottoms as smoothly as I could. Then I made notches in them near the top of their crooks and fitted stout stick into the notches and se- cured 1t with nails driven by the ax- head. Thus I got hold for my evener. That done, I chopped and hewed an arch to cross the middle of the run ners and hold them apart and used all my nails to secure and brace It. I got the two boards which were fas- tened together and constituted my wagon seat and laid them over the arch and front brace. How to make them fast was my worst problem. l succeeded in splitting a green stick to hold the bolt of the evener just un- der It's head while heated Its lower end In the fire and kept Its head cool with snow. With this burnt hole in the end of each board and fastened them to the front brace with withes of moOSewood.
 It was late in the day and there was no time for the slow process of burn ing more holes, so notched the other ends of the boards and lashed them to the rear brace with a length of my reins. Then retempered my bolt and brought up the grist and chain and fastened the latter between the boards in the middle of the front brace, hltched my team to the chain and set out again, sitting on the bags.
 It was pitch dark and the horses wading to their bellies and the snow coming faster when we turned into Rattleroad. Soon I heard loud hal loo and knew that 1t was the voice of Uncle Peabody. He had started out to meet me in the storm and Shep was with him.
 Thank God I've found vel" he shouted. "Pm blind and tired out and I couldn't keep a lantern goln' to save me. Are ye froze"
 "I'm all right, but these horses are awful tired. Had to let 'em rest every few minutes"
 told him about the wagon-and how 1t relieved me to hear him say:
 "As long as you're all right, boy, I ain't goin' to worry bout the or wag- on--not a bit. Where'd ye git yer jumper1"
 "Made 1t with the ax and some nails," I answered.
 After we got to the barn door at last he went to the house and lighted his lantern and came back with 1t wrapped in a blanket and Aunt Deel came with him.

As he grew bolder Peter 'ventured

Bear. He did it very gently. you may
be sure Nothing happened. so pres
emily Peter did it again. After he had
tried this several times and found it
didn't disturb Buster at all he quite
forgot that he ever was afraid OF
Buster. Finally he actually jumped up
on Busters side. and the very instant
he landed on Busters fur coat he
jumped off again in a sudden panic OF
fear. Still nothing happened. BY and
by Peter jumped up again, but he
took pains to jump very lightly. Then
he squatted down there, for Busters
fur coat was very comfortable to
Peters feet. He was so very comfort
able that presently he began to doze,
and before he knew it he actually was
asleep. sitting up there on Buster
bears side in Busters own bedroom

Peter Grows Very, Very Bold.

There is a saying which you will
often hear. 1t is that familiarity
breeds contempt Don't be afraid OF
those big words. for the meaning is
very simple. That saying means that
when you have got used to a thing,
even though at first you were afraid
Of 1t. you get so that you not only are
not afraid Of 1t, but may grow care
less in regard to 1t. Something very
like this happened to Peter Rabbit
after his discovery Of Buster Bear
still in his winter sleep under the
great pile OF brush in the Green For
est
You remember that when Peter first
discovered Buster there, little cold
shivers Of fear ran all over him He
was afraid to, even stay under that
pile, though Buster Bear knew moth
ing OF his being there. Then after
nothing happened Peter grew bold
and went back and crawled all around
Buster Bear. At last he understood
what tt all menat that Buster was
still in that strange sleep in which he
had spent the whole long winter.
For a long time Peter was quite
content to sit in place which he felt
was quite s-afe and just look at Bus
ter Bear. Then he grew bolder and
walked around Buster. Finally he
grew very, very bold. He knew enough
about that strange sleep to know that
it takes a great deal to waken any
one who is in it.

HOMESPUN AND SATIN COMBINED

I fully in juxtaposition, for we have
kept them apart during the centuries.
| They have been symbols of two dif-
ferent classes in the social fabric OF
the world. He who wore homespun
and she who wore satin did not move
| in the same circles One wore his
cloth as a symbol of his servitude.
| The word homespun has become full
| of significance through the centuries
| because of its fixed place in the social
order of things, and the man or wom-
an who wore satin commanded tne
class that wore homespun.
Now. is this gown of Jenny's sym
bolic?- Does it reflect the downfall OF
satin and the uprise of homespun until

which the French put into their
clothes because they give to them the
power of expressing history and
philosophy. created this gown OF two
symbolic fabrics as a reflection OF the
social upheaval? 1t is quite likely.
The Frock Without a Back.
1t is curious frock all over. this
homespun and satin affair. To begin
with, the foundation of the gown has
no back above the waistline, and no
sleeves. 1t has merely a bib front with
shoulder straps like nursemaid's
apron that go over the shoulders.

This keeps the skirt on and the bib in
place. for the latter serves as a vest
to the little jacket
This skeleton of a frock is the French
idea of conserving material 1t may
serve as a good idea for our people in
hot weather.
The slip is of black satin and shows
line of homespun at the waist and
at top of bib.
The Jacket a Farthingale. ;
The jacket of this costume is quite
remarkable.
1t has a decided air. 1t is full on the
hips as you will notice by the sketch,
and this fullness is held down in a GER
tain measure by a band of homespun
that goes through the fullness like a
this commonplace material on the
outside of the jacket at the regulation
waist line.
The wide revers are of homespun.
The sleeves are straight, three-Quarter
affairs, and give one the impression Of
being unfinished. They have no hem
and no cuff.
The back Of the jacket has stitched
band of homespun running between
the shoulder blades, and 1t is finished
with bail tassel which bangles over
the waistline.
This gown has been described in de-
tail because 1t embodies several sig
nificant features of fashion. each one
of which may be in the gown that
you buy for spring. It Is interesting,
don't you think. to know the source
of the fashion we choose?
You know American designers choose
Paris gowns that give them many new
features to incorporate in the clothes
which they will turn out here next
month, and this gown was imported
because of its several admirable sug-
gestions. Therefore you might want
to know all about it before you see

your own clothes. 1t is bound to be

Urges Government Commission

An appeal has been made also by
the American Electric Railway AS
sociation that the government appoint
a commission to Investigate. street
railway conditions and authorize
measures for stabilizing the industry.
Both government officials and rep
resentatives of the railway associa-
tion declared today that the condi-
tion of the street railways is more
serious than it was during the war.
One of the big items in the increas-
ed cost Of operating street railways
is the one-hundred- d-million-dollar in
crease in wages ordered by the Ma
tional War Labor Board. This gov
ernment agency has recommended to
local utilities commissions that in
creased rates of fare be authorized
ton. In some cases this has been
done, but the increase has not al
ways been sufficient to enable the
company affected to live.
Examples Of this, it is stated, are
the New Orleans line, which was
given a Scent fare and has gone
into the hands Of receivers. and the
Providence. r. l.. system, which ex4
perienced a similar fate.
The United States census bureau has
been getting up some street car fig
ures, one Of the compilations showing
that seventy-two companies which
had combined net income of $4,000
900 in 1912 experienced a deficit of
$544.000 in 1917. before war conditions
had begun to affect the companies
most seriously.

will have to be an entire evolution of

SEEKING TO SAVE
STREET RAILWAYS
United States Government
HuTying to Relief of Lines
in Many States.
INDUSTRY AT CRISIS

Alarmed by reports indicating posi-
bility of collapse of the street railway
industry of the country, the United
States government is making an elev
enth hour effort to forestall threatened
wholesale receivership for traction
lines in practically every state in the
Union.
The Treasury Department and the
Department Of Labor have undertaken
the formulation of program de-
signed to meet the crisis. Reports
reaching these departments today in
dicate that government relief will
come too late for many companies
that are on the brink of financial dis
aster.
| 400 Miles of Track Abandoned.
| Companies representing 10 per cent
of the total street railway mileage OF
the nation already have gone into the
hands Of receivers, the reports show
Approximately 400 miles of tracks
have been completely abandoned
| Roger w. Babson of the informa :
tion and educational service of the
Department of Labor, and Eugene
Meyer. jr, managing director of the
War Finance Corporation, are work
| ing out the governments relief pro-
gram. Every effort is being made to
expedite the undertaking and give the
industry substantial assistance on a
comprehensive scale.
One of the measures under consid-
GRAFTON is to bring about the immedi-
ate cancellation of unnecessary taxa.
tion OF street railway companies
Believes Five-Cent Fare Doomed.
Mr.. Babson declared today that he
regarded the five-cent street railway
fare as doomed. Cost of operation. he
stated. has reached the point where
companies no longer are able to keer
going on the old rate of fare.
The recent conference of mayors
and governors held in Waeshin gton
apparently has spured the govern
ment to a realization that the street
railway problem has become a ma
tional problem.
| There was no effort made by those
who attended the conference to con
ceal the fact that they have "passed
the buck" to Washington, for the
reason that local prejudice against
| street railways made it impossible
for the city administration to give re-
lief to the traction concerns
| The conference adopted a resolution
| asking the government to Investigate
the traction situation and give relief
where needed.
