FIDDLE

1t is said that Nero ''hddled
while Rome burned"
there were no fddles (vio-
lins) in Nero's time.
He probably did his so-called
'flddling" on a one string
Ravanastrun, an invention of
Ravena, King of Ceylon, 5000
B. 6.
Be that as it may, 6ddles, or
violins, as we know them,
came in 1560-l6lO A. D..
made by Gasparo di Salo of
Lombardy.
And we've had Riddles" ever
since.
And ''Fiddlers.'
And some folks fiddle while
Rome burns.
Do you just fiddle through
your home paper without see
ing the money-saving adver-
tisements therein? Do you?
If Nero DID fiddle he lost
out, just as poor 6ddlers will.
he committed suicide June 9,
o8 A. d., setting a good exam
pie for bad hddlers.
Are you one?

RAIL MANAGERS WANT
 AUTOCRATIC CONTROL

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Conspiracy on the part of railroad executives and fnan- Ciers to destroy the organizations of railroad workers and re-establish auto cratic control of the transportation in dustry was charged by President Jewell of the A. F of L. railway employees department before the railway labor board, created under the Cunmins- Esch law
 The trade uniOnist answered the claim of w. w. Atterbury, vice -presi- dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, who failed to induce the board to set aside the labor provisions of the Cummins- Esch law so that wages and working conditions could be lowered without a hearing by the board.
 President Jewell said that Atterbury is the spokesman for a powerful finan- cial combination seeking to re-establish this autoCratiC control from which the war has freed us, and which was espe- Cially eXemplfed by conditions on the Pennsylvania railroad.
 "Alr. Atterbury undoubtedly knows that the present plight of the roads is not due to the inefficiency of the en- plOyes. He knows that 1t Is not due to miStrcatment, accorded to roads under federal control. One significant thing he said in the course of his utimat11m You cannot make retroactive tomor- row the savings that should have been made today This should be bitter pill to many small investor i'll rail way securities who has lost the result or savings through the guaranteeing of railroad wealth for which the fnanciers are responsible. And now Mir. Alter bury discloses the determination of the conspiracy to make a raid upon the pockets of the railroad employees

PERMITS PARTIAL
 PAYMENTS TO R. R.
Winslow Bill Passes Senate and Goes to President for
 Action.

Washington, Feb 25.-Opposition to the Winsow bill to permit partail pay ments to railroads from the government guaranty fund collapsed completely i'll the Senate and teh measure was pass ed without a record vote two hours be- fore the expiration on time allotted for debate upon it.
 Senator Townsend, republican, Mich iean, in charge of the measure, insisted that not one line i'll the bill as passed by the House should be changed in the Senate, lest conference and ensuing parliamentary obstruction delay what he described as action absolutely necessary to prevent bankruptcy not only among railroads, but also among railroad cred itors. The Senate followed his advice and the measure was sent to the Presi- dent.
 The bill as passed would require the interstate commerce commission to Cer- tfy to the treasury amounts which 1t actually finds to be due railroads, re- gardless of whether these constitute the entire claims of the carriers. It further would require the secretary of the treas ury to pay out all sums so certified.

UNITED STATES
 NOW ALONE ON
 GERMAN CLAIMS
Withdrawal From Reperations Board Leaves America in
 Peculiar Position.

Paris, Feb. 25.-Roland w. Boyden, whose withdrawal as unofficial repre- sentative of the United States from the Allied Preparation Commission was an- nounced last week, has delivered his farewell statement to the Preparations Commission. Expressions of regret were made by all the delegates.
 "Your withdrawal" said Louis Du- bois, president of the commission, leaves not only a void in our hearts but in our work. Lcr us believe, how ever, that the withdrawal is only tenn porary-that it is not goodby, but sim ply all revo1r.
 America ought not to and cannot forget that at the call of the spirit of honor and justice her best sons crossed the sea; that she took part in the war and collaborated i'll the making of the Treaty of Peace, so that justice might be done We shall not mourn your gO ing for you will come back to finish the work"
 Sir John Bradbury and other mem bcrs joined in comp1imenting MT. Boy den's work and hoping for the return of the United States 70 representation on the commission.
 The newspapers comment respectfully upon Mr. Boyden's leaving. The Paris Midi says: MT. Boyden was ostensi- bly an observer, but in reality he was a wise and discreet counsellor in the commission"
 The withdrawal reduces American activities in Europe in connection with the settlement of war problems to relief work and the exercise of special func tions. such as those of Walker D. Hines, specially appointed arbitrator in the distribution of river shipping and the work of the Shipping Board the graves registration service and the Army office in Paris for adjustment of American Expeditonary Force claims.
 Withdrawal from the Preparations Commission places two American rep arations questions directly i'll the hands of the Washington Government. One is that of the upkeep of the American forces on the Rhine The United States has spent 70 date for the maintenance of it's army in Germany 1,160,OOO,OOO gold marks ($276O8O,OOO), none of which has yet been reimbursed by Ger many
 Under the peace treaty payment by Germany for the cost of the armies of occupation has priority over all other reparations, and the question now must be handled separately by the American Government.
 Through special arrangement by the American reparations representative American textile industries have been able to obtain most of their highest grade German dyes through the com mission. MT. Boyden and Col: James A. Logan, jr., have been getting for Amer ican textile companies 25 per cent. of all the dyes delivered by Germany as part of the separations. These have been paid for by the American companies, their purchases totaling more than S30O00OO.

BUM WHISKEY BEING SOLD TO
 CONGRESSMEN

Washington, Feb. 25.-Gloom and thirst are temporarily enfold- ing the capitol building at Wash ingtOn, but as soon as Wagging tongues become weary the thirst will disappear and then will the gloom VamOOSe.
 The trouble all came about through the efforts of rival pro- motors of the bOOtlegging indus try to gain q monopoly on the patronage of Inc congressman and senators. As each wanted all the trade i'll sight he tried to put the other fellows patronage on the blink by underselling him. As competition became keener the price dropped and the quality with it. Finally, both the "caterers to congress" reached the point where nothing but fighting "squirrel' Whiskey was being dispensed. This led to a shooting affair i'll the house office building where the secretaries of a number of congressman were engaged i'll a game of craps and one of them was accused Ot ringing i'll a pair of loaded dice
 Then committee, consisting of Speaker Gillette, former Speaker Clark and Congressman BaChraCh held a secret investiga- tion and decided that both boot leggers would have to quit sell ing booze to the congressman, senators and employes-for a time at least. This restriction, of course, applies only to the actual capitol building.
 And thus doth thirst and gloom rampant and rage all Up and down the dignifed halls of congress.

AMERICAN BLUEJACKETs WITNESS DEVILS
 DRIVEN FROM SEAS.

An ancient custom still followed by the natives of China, is to drive the devils from the waters of the river once each year to insure good luck and safety to all for the year following the demonstration
 In long sampan, built to accomo- date some 40 oarsmen, and steered by a long pole or oar, the Chinese priests take their position amidships with their flashing banners and tom-toms, and are pulled about the harbor entrance, driv- ing the devils before them with much beating and loud screeches which would drive most anything to deep water, where the devils are drowned or go to some other place more quiet.
 In the second picture from the top we see the native sampans on which a great number of the people of China

 live, cheaply, but we would not say com fOrtably. These sampan dWellers sub sist themselves upon whatever they can lay their hands on and carry large nets with which to catch refuse from the scuppers of our men-o'-war, sorting out the good and consigning the bad back to the deSp. They are known to our sailors who frequent these harbors as "harbor rats"
 In the bottom picture we see the Chinese cobblers who come aboard our ships and repair Jacks shoes at very reasonable rate. The Chinese merchant is noted for his honesty and his word can be relied upon in all cases. If he promises to deliver a pair of shoes on board your vessel at p. m. the only thing that will prevent him doing so is death or the sailing of your vessel
