Western Maryland Trains
Cut Down to Save Coal

Hagcrstown, Md, Nov. 4. - The
first hardship of the soft coal min
ers' strike is being felt most seri-
ously here on the railroads.
Many trainmen are being laid on
on the Western Maryland Railroad
and other coal-carrying lines. The
Western Maryland is the principal
feeder for this section and the east
from the West Virginia and Mary
land bituminous coal fields. 1t was
stated at the Western Maryland
offices that while there will prob
ably be no curtailment in passenger
service on the road, the freight end
of traffic is being cut down heavily:
Special service and excursions will
be cut off entirely, it was said. En-
gineers, firemen and other tralnmen
Of the freight service will not be the
only ones affected by the strike. The
shifting operations in the yards will
be reduced to a minimum, 1t was
stated. Forty more carloads of coal
were Communicated here yesterday
10y the regional director of the West
ern Maryland Railroad.

CREWS GET REST
TRAFFIC FALLS
Reading Reports Big De
crease No Coal Is Moving
at Rutherford

Results of the closing down of the
mines are showing in Harrisburg.
For the first time in many months
train crews are being laid off. Men
on the extra list have been given
notice that they will have to wait
as regular men will be given prefer
ence when vacancies are to be filled.
Both the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road report a number of crews idle
to-day.
At the local offices of the Reading
is was said that traffic has dropped
almost 60 per cent. within the past
As hours. Freight crews will be con-
tinued on the pool system, first in
first out, in order that the men may
be able to make some time. There
is no soft coal traffic east of the
Rutherford yards which means a
loss of from 1900 to 1900 carr daily.
The Reading is also cutting down
crews in the various yards along the
system.
Pennsy Slows Up
On the Pennsy at least dozen
local crews were off to-day on a
longer layoff than they have eX-
perienced for long time. Both the
Middle and Philadelphia divisions
report a big decrease in traffic.
Trains are running, but the ship
ments are everything but coal. 1t
was the rush of coal to storage points
that figured in the October record,
but present indications are that the
November figures will be far lower
than the lowest yet recorded unless
other shipments show a marked in
crease.
Local officials of the Pennsy are
taking the present opportunity to
get motive power into shape. Many
engines will receive shop attention
long needed. 1t will also permit the
repair shops to get ahead in car
equipment.

SHE DARKENED HER
GRAY HAIR
Tells How She Did 1t With Home
Made Remedy

Mrs. E. H. Boots, a well-known
resident of Buchanan County, Ia,
who darkened her gray hair, made
the following statement:
"Any lady or gentleman can dark
en- their gray or faded hair and
make it soft and glossy with this
simple remedy, which they can mix
at home. To half pint of water
add / ounce of bay rum, one small
box of Barbo Compound and Il
ounce of glycer:re. These ingredi-
ents can be purchased at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to
the hair every other day until the
gray hair is darkened sufficiently.
1t does not color the scalp: is not
greasy and does not rub off. 1t will
make a gray-haired person look 10
to 20 years younger"
