coats, 10 the value Of $500. The gar
ments had been made up for custO-
mers and were ready for delivery.

the boards on an outside cellar door
IN the rear OF the store and then cut
ilng piece out Of a trap-dOor in The
nOOr. The manner in which the work
was done would indicate the BURGLARS

store, know Just where the bolts had
the trap door and no time was lost in
getting inside

ing, about 930 o'clock, with shelves
and racks fun Of garments. In addi-
ton 10 a large quantity OF cloth not

store, left one rack OF coats standing
unmolested IN the front OF the room,
which served as a screen, shutting on

said that the exact amount Of their
loss cannot be determined until some

 REFLECTIONS

even planets and all astral bodies rep resent a far superior life and intell1- gence than mere man, with but his few eIectrOns, can comprehend. Man thought that Halley's comet was a burning ball of fire until it's last ap- pearance. With unestimated rapidity it shot like bolt across orbits and other moving bodies, and so nicely was it timed that no collision happen ed. It drove so near our earth that it was revealed to man as not burn ing, but that it's trailing flame was only compressed ether that could re- fleet the rays of light; and we were allowed to pass through those rays, and thus, and only thus, could we have been convinced.
 It circled our sun as a belt would a pulley, and left as it came, and on an unknown mission regulated precisely to time. What was it's purpose? Did It OpA CL OuDC1 1IlI1lu ILAdG w CIO acting according to a Divine law of a greater mind? Man knows not. If all represents life, then there is no death, and the soul or spirit of man his electrOns-live forever and ever, time without limit.
 Man may increase his knowledge until he may be able to photograph the electronic soul when leaving the body, enveloped in the ether of the body it had formd in it's most perfect condition. Thus the science of man may also be moving in a circle, and in time he may arrive where proven facts demonstrate the truths ex- pounded by the great inspired phil osopher of all time-Jesus Christ who taught that life was eternal time without endI

ORDERS WILL FORCE
UNLOAD|NGOF CARS

Another move, designed to relieve
car shortage, and possibly to effect a
lowering in the cost of foodstuns, was
authorized today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in directions to
operating committees to force the un-
loading of cars held for unreasonable
periods on railroad sidings.
Traffic committees have reported
thousands of cars, loaded with food
stuffs of all kinds. are being held on
the tracks in different localities.
Some of the reports indicate that large
shipments are being held by specula-
tors. 1t developed that spectators In
grain and other foods are partly re-
sponsible for the deplorable conges-
tion in some of the affected areas.
Following its order for the immedi-
ate unloading of 2,700 carloads OF
grain held on the tracks of various
railroads at Galveston, the commits
sion today contemplated the issuance
of other similar orders. to effect the
release of car equipment needed badly
for loading. officials stated 1t would
aid in clearing up congestion ana
would also have the effect of forcing
on the market foodstuffs OF all sorts.
Car service committees in railroad
centers continued today to report Inn
provement in the situation respecting
car movement. Empty car equipment
is rapidly being pulled out OF the
freight jams. and freight is being
moved to destinations by quickest
routes,

TEACHERSPET|T|ON
SENATEF0R BONUS

The school teachers OF Washington
today petitioned the Senate for ire
lief from their unfortunate con-
dition due to inadequate salaries."
The final hope for the emergency
relief OF $500 for the school teachers
now rests with the Senate, represen-
tatfves of the teachers declared today.
It is hoped by the teachers that the
Senate will provide this relief in an
amendment to the general deficiency
bill.
Under the House rules, such an
amendment cannot be put in a meas
ure by the chairman of the House
Appropriation Committee. The SEN
ate subcommittee on District appro-
priations, however, could report the
amendment, and the House, undoubt-
edly, would agree to II in conference.
The petition presented to the SEN
ate today is signed by Duncan Nc
Laren. chairman of the teachers COM
mittee. Senator Walsh of Massachu-
setts placed 1t before the Senate. The
teachers are confident that the Sem
ate will yield to their request. There
are more than 1000 names attached
to the petition.
