RAILROAD STRIKES
BOOST LAKE ROUTE

Chicago, July 6.-The railroad
strikes and consequent unsettling Of
railroad transportation, already han
dicapped by a "a shortage, have
proven a boon for owners Of Great
Lakes freightera.
Anything that will remain afloat
long enough to negotiate the trip be-
tween ports is eagerly sought by
shippers.
The Detroit and Michigan automo-
bile markets are proving asparttcularly
rich source of income. One Canadian
line operating three big $500 ton steel
freighters under British registry has
installed special equipment for hand
ling automobiles and is running the
boats between Detroit and Chicago,
where the cargo is ~transshipped to
railroad cars or delivered under the
cars own power.
With three deck levels the freight
ers r able to carry several hundred
machines on each trip. Special freight
elevators. have been installed to
handle the ars, which are shipped
without Grating, being fastened to the
deck en- route. AS the cars are de
livered on board under their own
power and unloaded the same way,
reducing loading and unloading time,
they make an unusually profitable
cargo.

Duck saw him and ran to meet him.
What does all of this mean?" asked
the King, seeing hat she had all Of

This means, Oh King, that I have

have come to you to ask what I, shall
do" said Lady Duck.
well, you must tell me just why
you left the home of o Postum"
II will tell you, oh King. I left his
home because he was going to bring
someone else into his home with a lot
of little children, and he expected me
to lay enough eggs for the whole
crowd and I cannot do 1t, 30 I decided
to leave that house and come to you

The King and Lady Duck went to
the Palace where Major Pole Cat was
watching Mr.. Black Snake. Mr.. Black
Snake began to plead for mercy, but
the King knew that he would only do
the things again that he ought not to
do, so he told him that there was no
chance for him to escape, and If he
tried to he would lose his life. Tinker

During the night Mr.. Black Snake
tried to crawl away when he thought
every one was asleep. but Jack the
Wood Rat tickled Majors nose with
his tail, and the jailor awoke in time
to prevent this escape.
Now Tinker Bob had an important
engagement for sunrise. This was the
time, you will remember, that Young
Rabbit had promised to meet Red Fox
and go for food.
The King understood that Red Fox
only wanted to get the tender little
Rabbit out of the briar patch so he
could be easily caught. and he felt
that it was necessary for him to be
there lest young Rabbit lose his life,

GUARD CHILDREN
FROM K|DNAPERS
Fear Strikes n. Y. Mothers Fol-
lowing Abduction Of Little
italian Girl.

NEW YORK. Sept. Is.-Fear
stalked the streets OF Union Hill. NJ.
j.. yesterday, and scarcely a child
played outdoors. Mothers. with
babes in their arms, clasped them
tightly and walked quickly on the
highways. Children were almost
under foot. for parents would not
trust them even few feet away Or
the sidewalks.
A day had passed and Clara Cirelli,
the twenty -monthsold victim o:
kidnapers. was still missing
In her home. Tiny Cirelli, the
mother lay moaning for her baby.
The father. Emile, waited on the
.stoop. praying for the child's return.
Chief OF Police Meng was in
formed within a half hour after the
child had been missed. and issued a
general alarm and put a watch at
every tube and ferry terminal and
railway station in the city. Scores of
automobiles were stopped. but to no
avail.
Lieuts. Charles Gilman and Frank
stafford. OF the Union Hill police,
went into the Italian district at noon
yesterday. Eight hours afterward
they reported that the cross question
ing OF more than a hundred Italians
had brought forth no clue.
Clara's father is president OF Emil
Cirelit & Co. clothiers. He is we'll
known among business men ana
townspeople as industrious and hon
est, and Is regarded generally as
thoroughly Americanized.
No threat has even been made
against any member of his family. No
domestic troubles have developed. No
other child has even been menaced.
He seems completely stupefied by the
loss of the baby.
