THE EIGHT-HoUR DAY.

The eight-hour day is like Chris
tiaaity. Broadly speaking, it has
never been tried" The Golden Rule,
which is the essence of Christianity
when tried has really worked. But ii
issony a few who employ it consistent
ly as the handspring of their whole
lives. Others follow it in sporadic
Instances. It's success when applied
indicates that it is an eminently prac-
ticai principle of life, one that min
isters to growth and usefulness and
happiness.
The same is true of the eight-hour
Day. Any man or woman can engage
an eight hours Of productive labor Six
GAYS week and have time enough
aef to keep fresh in mind and body,
! happy. ready for the next day.
There are jobs so exigent, either OF
brasn or muscle. that FIVE hours a
day at one Of them is enough The
other hours then could so on some
entirely different job. Gardening for
the Intense brain worker, a night
school class Tor the stoker, would do.
But just suppose everyone We're
suddenly required to put in eight
eorrs of work, no more, no less. Wna-
revolution there would be in So
eiety.
When all the parasites. male and
female, did their stunt. would not
most OF the evils Of luxurious and
artifcial living disappear?
s. And when mothers were forced by
the police to stop work at the end OF
eight hours. There would be sud-
den boom. in cooaed-food services,
and cleaning services, and laundry
and mending services. And the moth
er who went on duty at seven and
had to stop at four (two half-hours
out for meals, of course) would have
TO paan her work with an ertraordi-
nary amount OF balance and good
Judgment. That she could not get
dinner and do the evening dishes
would not mean that she could not
read to the children. of course. But
if she bathed them and put them to
bed after hours. she would have to
stop an hour earlier in the after
noon.
Suppose the doctors were held
down TO eight hours. We'd have to
keep well, woulda't. we? But the doc
tor would have to have fexib!s :
schedule forty-eight hour week.
perhaps, adjusted to suit the incom-
ing babies and emergencies.
II the authors had to work eigat
hours day. perhaps the magazine
stories would come ou, with little
better finish and q little sounder
structure. Editors might find Their
tennpers improved, If they stopped
in time.
It would bear good deal Of think
ing. Take half an hour to consider
the possibilities oe all civilized society,
the effect on production, upon COM
fort, upon happiness, upon advance
ment, il there were a universally ap-
piled eight-hour day.

ARMY BALLOONIST KILLED
IN FALL FROM AUTOMOBILE
Fatal Accident to Joseph Davidson at
Mountain Lake Park

Joseph Davidson, aged twenty-four
years, the son of the late DR.. Wilbur
i. Davidson, founder of the Mountain
Lake Chautauqua, and Mrs. David
son, who resides at that place at the
present time, was fatally injured on
last Thursday night when he fell from
the running board of an automobile at
a point within two plocks of his home
his death occurring two hours later at
the Office of DIR. Henry W. McComas
in Oakland to which he was rushed
Immediately following the regretta-
BILE accident.
With him in the automobile were
his brother, McGregor Davidson, who
was recently discharged from service
in the navy, and two other young men,
the party being on their way to Oak
land to meet train No. upon which
a company of Oakland young people
were returning from a dance at Terra
Alta.
From what can be learned of the
accident it appears that both the Da-
wilson boys were on opposite sides of
the car and both standing upon the
running board. 1t is thought that
Joseph attempted to change his posi-
ton, and losing his balance fell to the
roadway, striking his head upon the
macadam, which produced fracture
of his skull at the base of his brain.
1t is claimed and has been borne out
that the car was going at reasona-
BILE rate of speed and that the motion
of the car was not sufficient to throw
him.
He was one of three brothers who
entered the service of the Government
at the outbrake of hostilities, Joseph
entering the air service as a balloon
observer, McGregor as a yoeman in
the Navy and the elder brother, Will
bur, obtained his commission as
lieutenant in the aviation section.
Joseph Davidson served for eigh-
teen months in the foreign field where
he earned an exceptional record as
fearless soldier of the air.
At the stricken home in the Park
on last Friday night a brief service
as conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Bis
vsell, of the Park NJ. E. church, and
on the same evening the body of the
young man, accompanied by the grief
stricken mother and two brothers, was
taken to Cleveland, Ohio, where the
interment was made, the remains be-
ing buried by the side of his father

A New Idea in Savings Banks

The First National Bank of Oak
land, has recently purchased a number
of home savings banks that are exact
copies of small leather covered books:
small enough to be carried in the
pocket, and yet large enough to hold
a considerable sum of money, both
paper and coin
Awindow display lighted by cleo
tricity shows several of these books
or banks, and also carries a message
of Savings and Thrift, which is being
taught to the people of America since
the great war. The message is chang
ed from time time, and will be flashed
from the window night and day.
Any PRISON wishing to have one of
the new banks may get it by opening
an account in the saving Department,
the bank to be loaned to the customer
during the life of the account and to
be returned when the account is
closed
As soon as the hand grenades are
received they will also be placed on
display in the bank window and the
chance given to any boy or girl in the
county to get one of the war souvinirs.

IN MEMORY OF SOLDIER.
A Beautiful Service in st. PauPs for
Sergeant Percy p Kildow

The service at St. Paul's Methodist
Episcopal church in Oakland in men,
DRY of Sergeant Percy Proctor Kill
dow, son of Mr.. and Mrs. William Kill
dow, of Oakland, who was killed in
action in France early in the fall in
the campaign against the enemy, was
largely attended by the friends and
acquaintance of the young soldier.
The service was conducted by the
pastor of the church, the Rev. W. NJ.
Shultz, who delivered a splendid SER
mon upon themes selected from var
ious portions of the Scripture, draw
ing therefrom the lesson that under
all and every circumstance his hearers
should be ready, as the young man in
whose honor and memory the service
was being held, was ready, to answer
the summons to appear before his
Creator.
In the audience there were thirty
five soldiers, three of them being men
who wore the blue and two the gray
of the sixties, and thirty khaki clad
men of the World War.
The service closed when a bugler
in the rear of the audience sound
ed taps.
The auditorium of the church was
profusely decorated with the flags of
the Allied nations and many flowers.
Special music was furnished by the
church choir for the occasion.

A NEW ENTERPRISE
Corporation Formed Last Night to
Place Automobile Wheel on Market

Corporation Formed Last Night to
Place Automobile Wheel on Market
A corporation, known as The Resil-
lent Wheel Company, has been char
tered under the laws of Maryland
for the purpose of manufacturing a
wheel to be used upon automobiles
and motor trucks. This wheel was
designed and invented by Mr.. G. J..
Lee, of German, Md, and upon which
he obtained a patent in September,
1915, but owing to war conditions
no effort was made to place the wheel
upon the market. Now, that condi-
tons have changed, the inventor and
his friends have determined to under
take the building and marketing of
the wheel, and Attorney E. H. Sim
cell has prepared and secured the
charter for the company and other
papers necessary for the organiza-
ton of the concern.
LaSI HlSIC qulLe d NUMBER OF the
wide-awake and substantial citizens
of Gormania met at the office of Mr..
Sincell in Oakland and completed the
organization of the company. Suf-
ficient of the authorized capital stock
has been sold to enable the company
to have enough of the wheels built to
demonstrate the utility of the inven-
ton, and it is needless to say, that if
the invention proves feasible the Or
ganization will prove a great success.
as every motor and truck builder in
the country will want to use the wheel
upon his product, for it will last for
the life of any machine upon which it
is used, thereby reducing the upkeep
so far as wheels and tires are con-
cerned, to a minimum.
The Republican sincerely hopes that
the invention may prove a success. for
it will mean a fortune to Mr.. Lee and
his associates.

GIRL A GE0GRAPHER
To Name Unnamed Streams in State
to Be Stocked With Trout

The pretty girl who served as Ste
nographer and assistant manager for
Commissioner William H. Killian, of
the State Conservation Board, was
found yesterday pouring over a big
map of Garrett county. Noting a
puzzled look on the face of reporter
who called, she said:
Il have a new job? See this map?
See all these little streams and creeks
that have no names, | am going to
name every one of them. We are
going to put young fish in them, and
we must have names so we will know
where we have put them. Some job"
'HOw will you select the names ?"
was asked.
Il am going to name them after
moving picture actors" she said with
a smile.
Good story" remarked the re-
porter
IF you put my name in the paper
I'll murder you with a hatpin," said
the pretty girl
The reason names are to be selected
for the unnamed streams is that the
Conservation Commission has Just
Matched 100000 rainbow trout the first
the State has ever had, and today
word came that a lot of eggs of the
same species of fish had been shipped
to it from the United States Govern
ment hatchery at Butte, Mont. These
fish, being of fresh-water variety, are
to be placed in the streams of West
ern Maryland, together with the
brook trout recently matched. The
State hatchery at Lewistown is also
engaged in Matching out lot of suck
ers for the first Baltimore
Sunday Sun.
