EMPHASIZES
PRIVILEGE OF SERVICE

This church should feel proud or
the privilege which it has to do Things
which help to lift up the world, said
Colonel William G. Everson in his ad-
dress at the First Baptist church
Thursday night.
Colonel Everson based his speech on
the Seven Wonders of Christianity,
which he named as the Bible, person
ality of Christ, plan of salvation,
eternal life, adoption, heaven and ser
vice
Even though the first six of the
seven are important in all due res
pect, the seventh is the greatest, and
is the pleasure of us all today. TO
render service to the degrading class
| in the world is the most remarkable
privilege which we could ask and the
fact that we can serve the world
makes us stand up with pride in recog-
milton of the fact.
Purpose of Life
THE main purpose of our life is to
serve, and thanks to God we are able
to do so.
At the close of his talk, Col Ever
son launched a campaign for the
/ pledging of funds to clear off the
| church debt and for the purpose of re-
modelling the church Beginning with
a pledge of 5000 by the ladies aid so
ciety, the congregation responded un
| til the sum had reached close to $4,000
which was more than the quota which
the officers of the church were
asking.

FIRM, SAYS COLBY
Former State Secretary
Stresses Friendship in
London Address.
BY the Associated Press-


LONDON. May 6.-Confidence in the
enduring British-American amity and
a firm belief that America would
come into the peace" in a manner
to make plain her desire to fulfill her
duty to the world were expressed by
Bainbridge Colby. former Secretary OF
State. in speaking at the American
Luncheon Club today.
Mr.. Colby, who was the guest OF
honor at the luncheon. touched only
briefly upon the American attitude to-
ward participation in European affairs
America" he said. "came late into
the war. but she came. She is coming
late into the peace. but she will come.
1t may be by the postern gate and not,
as many Of us had fondly hoped,
through the entrance hall, but within
a time and fashion. I am sure. that
will leave no doubt Of the desire of
their duty to the world in a spirit of
loyalty to the allies and to participate
in the responsibility for the renewal
of order and the resumption of hu-
man progress"
Holds Bonds Unequaled.
Referring to Anglo American relations
during his address. Mr.. Colby said:
What a fortunate thing 1t is that
Anglo American relations continue on
lines of solid and immutable friend
ship-fortunate for this generation
and full of hopeful augury for all fu-
ture generations.
II observe much public discussion"
he continued. "of the relations be-
tween our peoples. and now and then
the suggestion that there is some
thing fragile in our ancient amity.
Perish the unfounded thought, I say.
British and American friendship is
the sturdiest fact which exists today
in the field Of international relations:
'It is true that we differ now and
then, but how often it turns out upon
examination and analysis that we diff
fer only as to why we agree. And the
unhesitating. outspoken way in which
our discussions are conducted is. aft
er all, a fine tribute to the deep re-
spect we feel for each others mo-
tives, policies and purposes.
"Such relations between great ma
tions can never be strained. They
may be enlivened on occasion, but
they can never be imperiled."

R. |. HAS new CARS
Fine Equipment Is Added to
Company's Fast Trains.
Have Attracted Much Favorable
Comment From Travellers.

The new passenger equipment on
the fast Rock Island trains has at
tracted much favorable attention OF
travellers recently. This equipment
consists of thirty coaches and five
chair cars, the former having a seating
capacity Of eighty-nine and the chair
cars sixty-nine.
The ventilation is very generously
provided for by the use of fourteen
vehtilators twelve in the body of each
car and two in the saloons. These
ventilators have a distinct advantage
over the old style Of ventilation which
is provided by opening one or more
deck sash.
The lighting is provided for by axle
lighting system in connection Win
storage batteries, which has been the
Rock Island standard for many years.
The lighting is by ten high power
lights arranged along the center OF
the car so that a very even distr1ou-
ton of light is provided. The heating
is known as the vapor system, IN
which the latent heat in the steam is
utilized for heating the car ana pfac-
tically no pressure is at any time car
ried in the pipes.
The cars are fitted with water cool
ers at each end. These coolers have
incC rporated in them a filter, thereby
insurinE pure water at all times. me
cooling arrangement is much more
economical in the use of ice than that
ordinarily used, and by its arrange
ment makes impossible any contami-
nation Of drinking water from the ice
Center of Gravity Lower.
The weight of the cars is that OF
about the average but the center OF
gravity is somewhat lower than on
others. This transfer in weight has
resulted in a very satisfactory riding
car. The tendency in modern car con-
struction is toward simple lines, rather
than more ornate design. This is
partly responsible for the adoption 0.
the dome-shape design of roof rather
than the older style known as clear
story. Another advantage in this type
of roof construction is that II Is
stronger than the clear-story type ana
tho lie of the roof will no doubt be
prolonged.
The color scheme of the interior OF
the car is mahogany. finished sldes anu
cream colored ceilings.
The seats represent the very latest
improved practice of two of the OLDEST
seat concerns in the country. These
improvements include steel frames on
which the upholstery is mounted in
stead of wooden frames as was for
merly the practice. The seats are ar
RANGED so that each has WINDOW
opposite it. on steel cars it is often
the practice to apply side windows
reaching over more than one seat
which do not always satisfy the pas
senger.
The cars represent the last word in
design Of modern passenger equip
ment

HAD a THRILLING EXPERIENCE
A Santa Fe Watchman Marooned in
His Tower in Pueblo Flood.

Few persons can boast of a more
thrilling adventure than that expert
eneed by N. F. Little, a Santa Fe
Waterman, at Pueblo, Colo, during the
recent flood at that place.
Little was on duty in his tower the
night the flood struck. He made an
attempt to escape but found the cur
rent of the water too swift and was
compelled to turn back to his post.
The water continued to rise until IT
reached height of sixteen feet, al
most to the level OF the tower floor
The tower was directly in the path of
the flood, but Little had no choice
other than to remain there, expecting
every minute that the frail structure
would collapse or be swept away by
the debris which was riding the crest
Of the flood.
About fifty feet north of the tower
q trunk factory caught fire, the walls
fell in and falling brick missed the
tower only by a few feet.
A box car being carried by the cur
rent came headed toward the tower
but came in contact with post and
was swung to the other side of the
street. striking the Santa re depot.
Little, who is 7s years old and has
been with the Santa Fe since 1866
remained in the tower until IL O'Clock
the next day when he was rescued,
very thankful to be alive.

sw1rcHMAN SUES B. OF R. \.


Case In Tennessee May Have Impor-
tans Bearing ON Labor Disputes.
william FELTON,. a switchnian. is the
plaintiff in suit filed in the district
court at Chattanooga. Tenn. to re-
cover 81, 600 damages from the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen for loss
of his job as swttchnaan. for which he
blames the brotherhood. He alleges
that the Southern Railway was forced
by the organization to dispense with
his services. The brotherhood has
filed, arplea in abatement. The filing
of the original suit. the first Of the
kind in Tennessee. created wide an
terest among employers and employees,
as its disposition is expected to have =
far-reaching effect on future labor
disputes. Should the court hold that
the brotherhood can be sued. and that
demand by its members that an ems
ploye not a member be discharged
makes 1t liable for damages, the deci-
sion, it is said, would virtually dis
pose of the closed shop question by
removing the only means the unions
have of enforcing such conditions.
The rotherhood. in ITS plea for abate-
ment, affirms that the organization. is
a voluntary association, is not a body
corporate or polite, and has no Off
GER or agent in the state upon whom
process can be served, and therefore

THIS BUICK STILL GOING.
With a steel Track 1t Can Run Down
a Fast Train.

When D. Van Hecke, division
superintendent of the Rock Island in
Oklahoma, wants to get some place
on his line, he wants to move in a
hurry regardless of whether or not a
train is going in his direction.
For that reason a railroad taxi"
was ingeniously devised to suit his
needs. The taxi used is a model II
Buick motor car, altered to run on
steel tracks. The only change made
in the car was the elimination of the
steering mechanism and changing the
wheels to the Hange model.
Van Hecke has used the car since
1909 and promises to be in the service
for many years to come. 1t is said
that a speed of seventy-five miles per
hour can be attained with the car and
that it frequently is necessary to slow
It down to keep it from running over
a train.
