Times once announced the birth of a
living baby that weighed exactly
one pound.
Even this little mite, however,
was beaten as regards smallness by
the son of DR.. c. Miller, of Candida

weighed only eight and quarter
quarter ounces. A 5-shilling piece
entirely hid its little face and its
mouth was too small to admit an or
binary lead pencil.
Another tiny baby boy born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Tracy. of
Kingsbridge, turned the scale at ten
ounces. Its head was no bigger than

ELECTRIC ROADS
 REQUIRE RELIEF,
 ASSERTS PARDEE
Head of Railway Association Says Existing Conditions
 Unbearable.

Washington, July 15.--Under exist ing conditions and revenue they are receiving, the electric railways can- not continue to perform the functions expected of them, John H. Pardee, president of the American Electric Railway association today told the federal electric railway commission. The commission was appointed by President Wilson to investigate the situation confronting local transpor- tation interests throughout the coun- try.
 Asserting it was not the purpose of the railways representatives to make a case" before the commission MT. Pardee said they appeared to give the facts in the situation in the hope solution might be found satis- factory to the public, employees and owners alike, interested as they all were in maintaining good service at reasonable cost
 Owing to the complete system of control and regulation over us by the public authorities, which both pre- scribed our service and control our rates, we are unable to readjust our selves to changing conditions as every other industry, not so hampered, is readjusting itself," he said
 Outstanding phases of the situa- ton demanding attention, he con tinued, are the absolutely economic and unsatisfactory" basis upon which the relations between the public and electric railways have rested since the inauguration of the enterprise, and placing of many additional burd- ems upon companies by the govern ment as war exigencies without any sort of relief. Including in the war program, to which MT. Pardee said the electric railways readily sub scribed, were the raising of em- ployes' wages as much as 100 percent the control of the price and delivery of coal, the fixing of prices of other commodities and in many cases the prescribing of service to be given.

using abusive language, forced her from the said Pullman car," and then pitched her suitcase into the mud about 20 feet from where plaintiff was forced off" the train.
 She alleges she developed influenza as result of the exposure to the rain and snow falling at the time, and asks $5,OO0 for this and $5,O00 for being forced from the train and for the alleged assault.

ENGINE DRIVERS STRIKE.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 15.- Twenty-Five freight engineers of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific railroad between Danville, Ky, and Oakdale, Tennessee, went on a strike early today, as protest against the use of "'b'ig Mogul" en- zines through the tunnels on that division.
 The engineers contend that the smoke from the engines while in the tunnels was intolerable and demanded that the engines be supplied with smoke consumers. This the company has agreed to do. It will require 30 days to make the improvement and in the meantime the engineers are idle.
