WOUNDED AT CIRCUS.

Circus time again! One would not feel SO much like writing of it, were it not for tho bright sunshine which has been bringing a sympathy with nll that pertains to joy.
 But especially worthy of note today Is tho fact that in New York tho wounded soldiers from nearby hospi- tals have just had the fun of attend ing a special performance of the cir GUS. It has been said that the happi- , ness of a child at a circus is almost sublime.
 But think Of those men who fought for us-and who were maimed there by-at n circus. Temporarily at least the burden of unhappiness which some of them may have to carry through life. was forgotten. For a littlo while they were us children again. Probably no tonic nor medi- cine has done them as much good as did that day spent in seeing things which many of them, perhaps. had never seen before. and which many
 
 in reality. It is not improbable that the recovery of many of the men who saw that show will be more rapid after those few hours Of complete for gGtfulness.
 Deep Is the significance behind the impulse which prompted giving these men d special performance. Gettins away from the obvious advertising reason. it is believed there is a desire in the heart of circus men as we'll as others to do all that they can for the afflicted. be they soldiers or civilians or little. helpless children. Why is 1t that such considerate persons be- lieve in the erectiveness of bringing a bit of happiness into the lives of tho unhappy? The reply may be found in n scientific fact. little as 1t is recognized.
 Bathe an inanimate thing that is dirty and il is as new: give hope and pleasure to an animate thing and life a seen through different eyes.
 The power of the mind over the ills of the body, while possibly not as subconsciously in every little act of kindness a person does. and the good result may be far more lasting than IL is possible to realize. crust of bread to the hungry does far more than satisfy the physical appetite. t

EVEN MORE WASTE.
 EMPLOYES ASSERT
Railway Unions Ampify Previous Declaration of Mismanagement

Chicago, April 27.-The railway labor unions fighting wage reductions before the railroad labor board in- creased their charges of waste and inefficiency on the part of railroad managements by quarter billion dollars today. In a supplemental ex- hibit to that filed last week setting forth alleged waste of a billion dol- lars. the employees charge that pos sible savings totalling $1,27S.5oO.oo0 could be effected by the roads if they would introduce modern methods in maintenance and operation.
 The larger American railroads spent $6,ooo.ooo,o ,oo0 for operating ex- penses last year, the exhibit showed. Ut can be demonstrated that $6,O0O, 100000 is altogether too much to move the traffic in hand," the report sslid, that failure to in- troduce savings rests primarily with railroad management and that the public accordingly is not getting a dollars worth of service for the dol- lar it spends in rates.''
 Freight car performance, due to inefficiency, leads to startling deduc- tions," the report continued, saying that freight car travels an average of only 25 miles a day, is loaded about two-thirds of the time and 5.6 to z per cent of all freight cars are chronically unserviceable. A table on car performance showed that of the New England roads the Boston and Albany averaged 32.2 miles per day while the New Haven got but 1928 miles.
 National unified control or region- al control offers large possible econ omies, the exhibit said, and cited fed eral control during the autumn of 1918, when trafhc was at it's heav- fest, with practically a complete ab- sence of transportation stringency, in contrast to the years immediately preceding when such stringency had almost amounted to railroad par- alysis." hsa #r re
