p. II. n. Promises Coal Cars.

The following statement is au-
thorized by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road: Consumers may depend alb
solutely on the movement OF coal on
the Pennsylvania system. Every car
OF coal received by the Pennsyl-
vania system from connecting lines
or mined on this railroad Is being
moved with the same regularity as
prevailed before the railroad shop
men went on strike. No Interrupt
ton whatsoever has been caused by
the railroad strike in the supply OF
empty coal cars or the movement
OF loaded cars.
on August 4th. the number OF
stored good order railroad owned
coal cars on other than mine sid
ings totaled 1873. These are idle
cars available for coal loading anc
are in addition to the cars supplied
TO mines that are now producing
coal.
As matter OF fact, In addition 20
the mines now producing coal there
Is now available an empty car sup
ply for every mine on the Pennsyl-
vanla system that can produce coal.
Good order empty cars are now
available al the siding OF the mines
that are not producing coal and will
be moved whenever the mines open
and the cars are loaded.
The Pennsylvania system Is to-
day employing more than 100 per
cent Of the number OF cars called
Tor By the rating OF producing
mines and moving the coal as rapid
iy a. 10 ~ loaded.
In this connection attention Is
called % the fact that before the
railroad strike began the average
weekly production Of coal had been
cut down from iO,T14.0OO tons 20
4.505.000 tons For thirteen weeks
before the railroad strike began
therefore. the loss Of coal was about
sO.0OO,0O0 tons. and for seventeen
weeks since the coal strike began
the country has been without 40
per cent. Of IT. coal production. for
which lose the railroads are In no
way responsible.

AN AUDUBON CLUB PROMISED
By George D. Coleman

Prof. Martin has promised that there
will be Bird Club started in the
school.
There is hardly any other thing that
arouses the interest of children past
the kindergarten age more than Bird
Club. There is a national organiza-
ton of Bird Clubs, and from the Ma
tional Secretary's office lot of lit
erature and other helps are provided,
and the study of these, under intelIi-
gent direction, not only provides much
interesting matter, but starts the chill
dren into a line of scientific thought.
1t teaches them the usefulness of the
birds in destroying harmful insects, but
also leads them to observe the habits
of birds and of the insects they de-
stroy. A Bird Club soon starts the
children into building and erecting bird
houses, and, if properly built and intel
ligently placed, the bird population IS
increased and the damaging insects
are decreased, and farm and garden
crops are more free from their enem-
les. Martins are very useful birds on
the farm, and Martin boxes, if pro-
perIy made, will soon attract many of
these valuable birds. Unlike many
birds, the Martin is a true co-operator
and prefers to live in colonies, while
other birds are solitary and not COM
panionable and prefer to live separate
and apart. Birds are more intelligent
han we generally give them credit for,
and, if treated kindly. become very
tame and sociable with their human
friends. have found King birds es-
