RAILROAD WORKERS
 ARE GIVEN PRAISE
Both Officials and EmployeS Said
 to Be Doing Good Work

Washington. May 26.---Raiiroads of the United States arc being operated efficiently, H. F.. Byram. president Of tho Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. said today In the course Of his ex- animation before tho senate inter state commerce committee. He praised the work of the employees who are endeavoring to aid the car riers in obtaining better results.
 Tt is to be regretted" he said. that the attitude of some of those wso speak for railroad employees of the country does not tend to promote good service. For sometime efforts apparently have been made to develop a belief that the responsible officers of the railroads were not operating them efficiently and economically and it Is greatly to the credit of the rank and file of employees of railroads or lthe country that they have not been 1misled by those false doctrines, as is shown by the willingness to co- operate with the management of the railroads in bringing about the necessary efficiency and economy in their operation which prevails at the present time.
 "Officcrs and employees of the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail- way Co. for several years and par ticularly of late have been carrying out tho principle of cooperation and kudy. mutually. in finding and prac- tieing economies and improved meth ods. Committees have been formed of officers and. employees on every division to study the details of opcr- atien In each particular locality and the situation as whole for the pur- peso Of eliminating waste and gen. orally promoting efficiency and the various campaigns inaugurated to save fuel and supplies and to avoid wastoful practices, have boon, prompt iy. inteiligently and earnestly support cd by the employees generally MT.

Wright'S Mother Comments on His
 Defeat in English Tournament


 Newton. Mass, May -o6.-''And to think that he did it in those knick- CTS" That was the remark of a proud mother today when she received word that her 23-year-oId son. Fred Wright. had gone down fighting in an extra hole match, theFlast American in the competition for the highest honor in the amateur golfing world-the Brit ish amateur championship.
 Mrs. Frederick J. Wright went or, to explain. Freddie never wanted to wear knfckerbockers. Although he had played. golf in knee bre>ches as a boy, he would not wear the knick- CTS when the other young men took to the new style. Freddie is tall and lanky and preferred trousers. He stuck to them until he began to pre- pare for his trip abroad. Then his sister told him he ought to do in Eng land as the English do--wear knick- erbockers-and so he took them.''

GRAYDoN OF THE WINDERMERE. BY
Evah McKowan. The George H. Dorap
Company, New York.
Occasionally we get hold of a
novel that, while written for adults,
Is In reality story for Juveniles about
to graduate to the ranks of young men
and women. Such book is Graydon of
the Winderrnere, by Evah McKowan.
The plot, tenuous to an extent that
threatens break in continuity, Is con-
cerned with the complications Of the
love affair of one man and two girls of
opposite natures. The hero, self
made engineer and ranch owner in
northwestern British America, is Wis
tied by party of English people,
among whom are the two girls In ques-
ton, one fippsnt and somewhat firta-
tious, the other honest and wholesome.
Both girls are wealthy and attractive.
Tho crux OF the novel is found in the
danger that Graydon may pick the
wrong girl, for he is rather naive and
and Is confronted by
plotting mother and q fairly Circean
daughter. OF course, all ends merrily.
Tho book Is saved from the waste
basket through it's too rare passages Of
numor and its occasional trips from the
olod Of the plot to give pictures OF lakes
and mountains set in n beautiful
country.
