crafts Almost without exception these
elassifications are made more elastic.
Under previous agreements with tho
ship crafts. including the national
agreement, IL has been the custom TO
define in detail the various types OF
work belonging 10 each craft.
The carriers have complained that
the National Agreement set up in such
minute detail the classification of
duties that work not requiring special
lied skill in any craft was assigned
exclusively TO 4 particular craft. For
example. work not requiring a .me-
chanic's skill was assigned 10 a skilled
mechanic, thus making efficient and
economical operation impossible. ac-
cording TO the railroads.
The new rules broaden the scope OF
crafts work The machinist working
on running repairs may connect or
oisconnect any wiring. coupling or
pipe connections necessary TO repair
machinery or equipment. This work
was previously assigned 10 electricians
and sheet metal workers only.
Under the new rules engineers, fire.
men and cranesmen are not prohibited
from making such repairs 10 equip
ment on the lines Of the road as they
are qualified to perform. The new
rules thus allow train opera tives tc

TO THE HUSBANDS.

Does your wife frequent dancing parlors with lounge lizards? Is she seemingly dissatisfied with you?
 Are you slowly but surely drifting apart?
 Are your actions those of a kind, considerate husband?
 Do you still pay her those little attentions you did when you first married her?
 Are you still the same Sweetheart" to her as you were at the time you proposed to her?
 Are you losing her affections? If you had to do it all over again would you choose the same girl that's now your wife?
 Are you getting the full measure of happiness out of welded life that your other married friends are get ting?

MRS. SMITH MAY
 ACCEPT ELECTION
ON TIE SCHOOL BOARD
Has Matter Under Serious Consider ation-Clayton to Serve if Mrs.
 Smith Declines.

Mrs. s. G. Smith, who was suggest cd by the Log Cabin Democrat yes terday for membership on the board Of directors of the Conway school dis trict, has the matter under serious consideration, she said this afternoon, and, although she is naturally reluc- tant to undertake the task, it is pos sible that she may consent to accept a place on the board Mrs. Smith is very active in the work of her church and it's allied organizations and holds several positions in them that require much of her time and attention If she finds that she could attend to the duties of school director without con- flicting too much with those of her home and church work, Mrs Smith indicated that she might be willing to serve.
 q certainly think that there ought to be one or more women on the school hoard,' Mrs. Smith said, land I feel ccmplimented by the suggestion that I be chosen for the place. I am un- willing to accept it, however, unless l feel that I could do so without ne- glecting its duties." She said she would give a definite statement to- morrow morning as to whether she would accept election.
 Many prominent citizens have "sec- onded' the nomination of Mrs. Smith as made by this paper yesterday and have endorsed the suggestion that at the first election since it has become legal for women to hold the office one should be selected in the Conway dis trict.
 In the event Mrs. Smith does not consent to serve, Secretary w. B. Clay ten will permit his name to go on the ballot for reelection, he said today. On account of his familiarity with the situation and his activity as a mem Der of the board, the other members for several days have been bringing strong pressure upon him to serve agan. Asked for a statement by the Log Cabin Democrat this afternoon he said: Il am strongly in favor of Mrs. Smith for membership on the board and hope she will consent to ac- cept. For myself I would very much prefer to retire from the board, but II Mrs. Smith will not become a can- didate l have reluctantly agreed to the other members that I will allow my name to go on the ticket again."
