MAY STANDARD|ZE
DRESSES WORN BY
SCHOOL GIRLS
That May Follow Overall
Movennt Which Will
Start Next Week.

Last week some OF the boys at the
High school drew up n resolution
which was signed by about 165 boys
including several men teachers. The
resolution says that all students will
wear overallsS khaki trousers or old
patched trousers beginning next Mon
day until the close of the school year.
1t Is reported that the girls also have
agreed to wear gingham dresses for
the same length of time, though they
have not signed up to It, The young
people are very proud of their decis-
ion and say they can scarcely wait
until Monday to take part in the
countrywide endeavor to pull down
old H. G. L. off a perch.
This morning at chapel the an
nouncement was made that beginning
Monday the overalls would be worn
constantly while at the school until
the end of the term. Prof. Colebank
says he isn't certain whether the en-
thusiasm will last, but as the boys
look at 1t now, it bids fair to be a
decision on their part of great seri-
BUSINESS.
Prof Colebank has plans made also
for broaching the subject of a uni
form for the girls to be worn during
teh school year beginning next Sep
tember. He feels the time is ripe for
this and that 1t will be of material
benefit to every girl who attends high
school.
The uniform will be becoming and
appropriate and will save much un-
happiness and discomfort on the part
of the girls who cannot afford to dress
elaborately. 1t will also take the
mind of many scholars from dress to
lessons, which Prof. Colebank feels
will be productive of much good in
the school. The sort OF uniform has
not been decided upon.
The girls will be taken into consul
tation regarding this. There is much
sentiment in favor of uniform for
girls and very little objection against
it as far as can be learned.

Spinal Meningitis

Spinal meningitis which developed
from an injury received eight months

johnson, an Austrian miner of Binga-
mon at Fairmont state hospital. Tony

time was a patient at the hospital. He

suddenly seized with spell of uncon.

hospital again where he was found to
be suffering from an abscess at tho
base of the brain which is believed
to have developed from the injury.

OPERATORS STILL
IN DARK ABOUT
ASSIGNED CARS
Different Reports Regard
ing the Status of These
Cars.

Use of the assigned cars in the Fair
mont coal region by the railroads is
the all-absOrbing subject of discus
sion these days because of the demor-
alizing effect that the assigned car
has on commercial business.
Some operators say Ihat the B. &
o. is counting them and began to do
so at once. but is intimating that 1t
is not in order TO scare operators in
TO taking railroad fuel orders. Other
operators say that the cars ale not
being counted and quote as their au-
thority officials high in the ranks OF
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Exact
conditions will no doubt develop at
the end of the present week.
About the only new twist that the
assigned car has developed is the fact
that foreign railroads will shortly
start to send in their own equipment,
TO secure fuel in the Fairmont region,
the cars being carled TO that effect.
All p. & r. cars will be considered as
assigned cars when loaded with p.
& R. fuel. will be considered as un-
assigned cars unless specially carded
TO the mine for railroad fuel loading.
II 1t should develop that the assign
ed cars are not being counted by the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad there prob
ably will be some litigation started
in the federal courts early next week.
According to information received
here both the Pennsylvania and Phil
adelphia & Reading railroads have
issued notices TO the effect that as
signed cars count against the rating
of the mine.
While the vast majority OF assign
ed cars are on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad the Monongahela railroad is
not entirely free of then by any
means. The Canadian Pacific rail-
road for some weeks continues TO
send them into the Morgantown sec
lion. That section loads anywhere
from few to 75 cars a day. Some OF
this is loaded along Scott's Run,
where there are at least five mines
loading this fuel at the p1 esent time.
The other mines loading assigned
cars are along the Monongahela rail-
road proper.
1t Is understood that some of the
operators in the Northern West yir-
ginia coal fields are in Washington,
d. c., making fight against the as
signed car in this section OF tho
country.

+" Rest Cure" Doesn't

| A UNIQUE way OF considering the prob

Offered today in a conversation between
two prominent automobile men of this city
In a conversation on the Automobile Show
at Madison Square Garden.
One of these men, n. W, Wright, Eastern
distributor for the Auburn Beauty Six,

that their automobiles are machinery.

chinery ever made in this world reached
the day in its life when It had to be laid
up for repairs.
but how often do we think OF that con
cerning automobiles7 I'm talking about
lautomobiles In general. Most OF us think
that as long as the wheels will go around
we ought to get first rate service. But in
thinking that we look at the automobile

often stop to think of 1.-THE case IS, a.

down it's gone and you have to replace it
as the only remedy"
Colleagues of Mr.. Wright claimed that
the point he had in mind was directed to-
ward automobile owners who run their
cars without the constant care and atten-
ton which should be given them. An
automobile. 1t is said, after all. is not a
difficult thing to understand, If one is
willing to try to understand it. And once
an owner gets to know something about
his car more than how to shift gears and
pour oil into the crank case he can saN
himself much trouble as we'll as the man
from whom he bought his car, regardless
of who 1t was that made it or who sold it.

Cadillac POwerP Plant
Shown in Operation

Following n yearly custom inaugurated
back in the single cylinder days the Cad
lilac Motor Car Company again provides
one of the most Interesting features Of the
national automobile show by exhibiting
a cut open power plant-of the current
model car. the type 50 eight cylinder
Cadillac.
Great fngenuity has been displayed in
dissecting engine and transmission. so az
10 expose every working part and show
its actual functioning when the engine
is In operation. The fine craftsmanship
OF the machining, fitting and finishing OF
the parts is graphic evidence OF the skill
and precision insisted upon in the manu-
facture OF the Cadillac.
Since tho introduction OF the Cadillac
eight cylinder power plant nearly six
years ago. nothing in automotive en-
rineering has developed to equal the effi-
cheney of this well proven principle. Cadil-
lac changes for the coming year may be
characterized as refinements or progress
sive Improvements.
On the type SO Cadillac engineers have
added indefinitely TO the length Of life OF
the front end timing chains by making
them readily adjustable for wear.
The single unit motor generator fur-
nishes a greater output of current at
ordinary driving speeds. This new unit
closely resembles the generator developed
for the Liberty engine Of wartime fame
and Is one instance Of aircraft design
which has helped the motor car.
The engine crankshaft has the large
diameter of two inches. This has been
done without increasing the weight by
moving the metal from the inside 20 the
outside Of the shaft, leaving a larger
space for tho flow of oil TO the bearings.
Other advantages are greater bearing sur
