RAIL EMPLOYEES I
TELL Of RECORD
BREAKING RUNS
fRy The Associated press.l

Jacksonville, Fla. Aug. lex
hibition of the old Dewitt Clinton
locomotive and the celebrated New
York Central 800 in Chicago's Pa
geant of Progress exposition. re-
calls to southern railroad men
some of the record breaking rail-
road runs made below the Mason
and Dixon line.
The worlds record Of 999-112h
miles an hour-stood unbroken
until Locomotive 210 OF the old
Plant system eclipsed it in 1901
with five miles in two and a half
minutes, putting the speed record
up to 120 miles an hour. This was
made on run between Savannah
and Jacksonville.
But as early as 1894 southern
railroad men say they made re-
markable record in running spe-
cial train over several connecting
lines between Jacksonville and
Washington.
The distance traversed was 1905
miles. In spite of its taking two
hours and fifty-nine minutes to
cover the 119 miles between Rich
mond and washington, the special
arrived in Washington Is hours 40
minutes after it left Jacksonville.
The light equipment of thirty years
ago contributed to making the rec
ord remarkable.
The occasion was a trip Of Flor
ida Knights of Pythias to Washing
ton for their national conclave.
When they requested q special
train from Jacksonville, officials
of the Plant system and Atlantic
Coast Line saw an opportunity FOR
a record. Preparations were sur
rounded with secrecy. as the rail-
road men were anxious to keep
news of the proposed run from q
combination of competing rail-
roads, which had a record OF ~
| hours 80 minutes.
The train was composed OF one
combination car. one coacn ana
two sleepers. with a combined
weight OF 242,300 pounds unload
ed. The five locomotives assigned
to handle it over the five different
railroads between Jacksonville and
Richmond were similar as 10
weight and construction.
The special left Jacksonville az
APO D. m. Eastern time, August
26. In its first lap it made the
fastest time, clipping off mile
near Savannah in As seconds or az
rs miles an hour. 1t arrived IN
Washington at 500 a. M, August
l27.
After a 36-minute stop several
| passengers boarding regular tram
arrived in New York at $3.50 p. M
20 hours and 10 minutes after leav-
| ing Jacksonville.
Each of the five locomotives that
/ handled the train between Jack
sonville and Richmond is still In
\ service on the Atlantic Coast Hnes
which absorbed the Plant system
seven years later.

Use mild soap for the complexion.
hot water and soap which is drying.
But IL your skin is oily you would
never be able to do this every day
without finding it more harmful
than good. Personally, I like the
fresh feel of water in the morning
and would not give UP, at least, the
dash of cold water for anything.
Why not compromise
Use cream before you wash, IL
the skin is dry. Some. but not all,
is washed off. Use fairly warm
water and a cold rinse for dry
skin, hot water and a cold rinse for
an oily one--a1d in any case, use
a mild soap made of pure oils on
your face, never a. harsh one. The
cleaning cream treatment is real
ly better at night than in the morn
ing--a cold rinse is really all that
is necessary, IL the skin was
cleansed at bedtime.

Home Town Loyalty
(Anniston (Ala.) Starr

Why not be fair to your home town
Do your buying with the merchant who is
your neiehhor and friend, who, when you
need it, will~give you accommodations
you could not get away from home, who
helps to keep the town going by paying
taxes and licenses here, paying store.rent
here, paying wages to employees here,
buying his own household supplies here.
The home business man is big factor in
the growth and development of the city.
When it is necessary to raise funds for
church or charity he is the first to give
and gives literally. The question is large
ly one of town loyalty and Of good bust
ness practice. 1t is not loyalty to town
to buy goods in other towns that could be
bought as cheaply and as we'll at home,
and it is poor business policy to pay mer-
chants in other cities more for goods than
horne merchants charge for them.

The largest if not the largest, sum in
many years, is the amount of unpaid taxes
put into the collectors hands this year.
1T is ST., $50. We do not know why this is
SO, but it is fact. The only reason that
can be given for it is that taxes are high
higher than they ought to be. There
should be economy in the administration
of town affairs, taxes are too high and
unless there is retrenchment OF some sort
there will be still larger amounts 60 into
the collectors bands "Curtail the ex.
penses" should be the watchword at next
