LIKE TO SHOW AUTHORITY
"sergeant-MaJorIsm" 10 by No Means
Confined to the Men Clothed In
Army Uniform.

The war has been responsible for
many new words, and the term "ser-
geant-majorism" conveys meaning
which is well understood, not only
in the British army but by the av-
erage civilian, though not always by
this title. A good sergeant-major is
invaluable in the army, and it is the
ambition of nearly every soldier to
rise some day to the dizzy heights OF
a warrant officer. The sergeant-ma-
jor has a certain amount of power,
and sometimes tries to make things
uncomfortable for those who do not
chow down" before him. Unfor-
tunately, the type of person who
daunts his petty powers in ones face
is not confined to the army, and be-
cause there are today few people who
have not met with this type, the term
"sergeant-majorism" has, not unnat-
urally, come into more or less gen.
eral usage.-Christian Science Mon
itor.

POWERFUL CAR BUMPERS.

There are many powerful car
bumpers in this country, but the
largest and most interesting install
'lation of this character is that of the
Norfolk & Western railroad at Sew
ell's Point, Hampton Roads, Va,
which has been in operation but a
short time. The new installation
handles two Cotton cars simultane-
ously. Two loaded cars standing end
to end are overturned sidewise, and
their contents dumped. American
Jumpers always operate by overturn-
ing the care sidewise, thus differing
from standard British machines.
These latter tip the cars endwlse.
