Coolidge Loses His
Special Train At
Marion Station

The musician who lost his
bass drum had nothing on
President Coolidge, who yester-
day lost a perfectly good train
at Marion, Ohio.
For nearly an hour, the new
Chief Executive Of the Land
roamed the highways and by
ways Of Marion, searching for
his engine and six special cars,
while aides made frantic de-
mands on those in authority to
bring on the train.
Following the funeral the
President was told to drive,
with his party to the Green
wood street siding and there he
would find his train. The par
ty, accompanied by Secret Serv-
ice men in automobiles and
sweltering scribes, on foot, went
to the Greenwood street. sid
ing. Even the most minute ex-
animation failed to locate the
missing equipment.
Then word was sent that the
train could be found at the
Baltimore and Ohio station.
The President, visibly agitated
at the loss Of his engine and
cars, sped to the B. & o. sta
ton. Again a concerted search
availed nothing.
Then things began to happen,
while the President, sitting in
the stuffy confines Of his car,
fumed.
Finally, the train was located
in the yards and after twenty
two minutes wait at the sta
ton, the train pulled up to the
station, the party boarded it,
: and the return trip began to
Washington. The special
reached here at S:05 this morn
ing.

WIN LONG
FIGHT
Postmaster General Comedies
Cumulative Sick Leave in
New Order.

A long fight Of postal employees
for a ruling which would grant
them an accumulative sick leave
benefit has been realized as the re
suit of an Interpretation announced
in an order which has been sent to
all postmasters by Postmaster Gen.
eral Harry S. New.
Employees are entitled to ter
days sick leave each year, regard
less of the amount taken any pre-
ceding year, and, in addition to such
ten days, is entitled to such por
ton Of leave accruing during the
preceding years as remains unused
according to the Interpretation
In all cases where sick leave In
excess OF ten days a year is used
the excess will be charged against
the first surplus leave availab BILE
The first ten days sick leave l. n
during any year Is to be charged
to leave accruing in that year, ard
leave taken in excess of en- days
will be charged to the unused leave
If any, that has accumulated from
the preceding years in the order
in which 1t is accumulated.
Thus" the Postmaster General
explains, "if three days are taken
the first year, seventeen days the
second year, and nine days the third
year, there fs one days accrued
leave remaining from the third year
and the employee would be entitled
to eleven days leave the fourth
year.
IF no leave is taken the first
year, no leave the second year, and
twenty-five days the third year, the
first ten days leave taken during
the third year would be charged
against the leave accruing that
year, the next ten days against the
accumulation from the first year,
and the remaining five days against
the ten-day accumulation from the
second year. Therefore there would
be available for the fourth year the
ten days accruing during said wear.
plus the remaining five days of the
accumulation from the second wear.
making a total Of fifteen days'
leave available for the fourth wear -
This order amends all previous
orders and regulations concerning
sick leave. Under the past arrange
ment the accumulative benefit did
not become available, and. If NOT
used, was lost. Then, though an
employee might have been at work
every day for three years and then
missed more than ten days in the
fourth year. he was temporarily cut
off the payroll after ten days of alb
sence. Under the present ruling he
would be entitled to forty days sick
leave with pay.
The Interpretation given today by
the Postmaster General, under au-
thorization of the Comptroller Gen
| eral, has been the goal of q long
fight by postal employees.

Are Kept Busy.

AEO nOpt busy.
Local Italian wine-makers, it Is
said, are being kept busy just now
in the exclusive home of Wash
1ngton's social set. They are reap
ing a golden harvest, for the art
of making wine is not one of those
accomplishments to be picked up
overnight, or gathered FROM read
ing Government reports Oh the
wine-making industry published be-
fore national prohibition went into
effect.
Among the wine-makers' patrons
are number of men prominent in
banking and investment circles, and
in professional life. They declare
the arrangement with their wine
makers" is satisfactory, while they
insist they are not violating the
dry law.
Dry agents take an entirely
opposite view of the transaction.
They insist both the italian wine
makers and their employers are
violating prohibition regulations
and that the fact that among those
implicated are some Of the citys
leading residents will not mitigate
to lessen the punishment when
arrests are made. That the latter
will occur, they say, Is inevitable
as the operation of the wine-makers
is known and they are being
watched.
In discussing the arrangement for
making wine at the buyers home,
one of the Italian wine-makers said
today:

EMPLOYS
EXPERTS
italian Experts Are Making
Fortunes at Work-Face
Prosecution If Caught.

How wealthy Washingtonians
are keeping up their choice wine
stocks was revealed here today
when it was learned that a group
of Italian wine-makers are con-
tracing to produce fruit juice
wines on the premises of the pur-
chaser.
Keep Within Law.
Unfermented fruit juice is de-
livered at the buyers home in
quantities by the wine makers. The
former merely indicates the particu-
lar wine desired and the latter Sc
lects the fruit juice used in it's pro.
duction. They also supply the neces.
sary apparatus required in pro-
ducing it. There is no violation of
the prohibition act in the delivery
Of the fruit juice or the several con-
tanners utilized in the production of
wine. Everything up to this point,
it is declared, is within the pale of
the law and could not be interfered
with by the dry agents IL they were
on the premises when the fruit Juice
and wine-making apparatus is de,
hvered.
Having stored the necessary
quantity of fruit juice in the buyers
cellar, the wine maker appears. He
begins his operations by measuring
the fruit juice and adding the re-
CURED quantity of sugar and other
ingredients. Then he returns each
day and manipulates the connection
until it is converted into the coveted
wine. Thereafter he presents his
bill and is promptly paid.
The wine-making process under
the manipulation of an expert wine
maker requires from one week to a
month, depending on the grade of
wine desired.
The wine maker also supplies the
bottles and labels and supervises the
bottling. When he completes his
contract the stock of rare wines on
hand in the cellar of the purchaser
is as varied as in pre-dry days when
1t was only necessary to order the
desired wine from the importer.

BLIND MAN STUDIES STARS
Takes Course in Astronomy in MIchi-
gan University to Qualify
for Degree.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Blind from birth
with his conception of the heavens
formed by descriptions from others, Jo-
seph Caldwell Of Indiana, Pa. is study
ing astronomy at the University OF
Michigan in order that he may meet
the scientifical requirements to permit
him to be graduated from the college
Of literature, science and arts.
Mr.. Caldwell, sophomore and forty
six years old, is doubly handicapped. In
addition to his blindness, he lacks the
mechanical aids for the study of as
tronomy that often are afforded stu
dents who take up other studies. Blind
students of astronomy are so rare that
there are no textbooks with raised
type. Therefore, he depends upon fell
low-students to read his lessons to him.
So proficient has he become his pro
fessors say, that he frequently memo
rizes lesson by hearing it read only
a few times.
In addition to astronomy, Mr.. Cald-
well is studying psychology, German,
French and Italian. He ranks as one of
the best students in his classes.

Nero" the spectacular William
Fox picture still remains the domin-
ating big photodrama of the year and
the greatest screen sensation of many

it for the Liberty theatre next Satur-

Nero is such wonderful repro
duction of the time in early Roman
history when the Christians were per-
secuted, that students of historical
events who have seen the photodrama
declare it is simply short of marvel
lous that director j. Gordon Edwards
was able to secure such perfect pic
turization of the manners and GUS
toms in Rome two thousand years
ago.
The scenes showing the Christians
meeting in secret in the underground
caverns of the Colosseum, were taken
by special permission of the Italian
government in the identical places ac-
tually used two thousand years ago,
and the march of the condemned
Christians on their way to the amphi-
theatre to be thrown to the lions,

the martyrs took so many hundreds
of years ago. Nero" has been

HENS HELP PASTOR

tifc Care of Birds.

Hartford, COnn.-The story of the
Long Island pastor who discovered his
flock of chickens had a language all
their own may be interesting from a
linguistic standpoint. but if there is any
truth in the old adage that money
talks" the flock owned by Rev. e. L.
Richards of Canton Center has "said
a mouthful."
Out of a flock of 100 pullets and
hens Rev. Mr.. Richards makes a net
profit of So day over and above the
cost of their uplSeep. And not only
does he add considerably to his own
small salary as pastor of small coun-
try church, but lie has succeeded in
bringing a greater degree of prosperity
to his spiritual flock through his
knowledge of his feathered one.
when | took the pastorate Of the
Canton Centre Congregational church,
few years ago." said Rev. Mr. Rich
ards, Il was confronted with two seri-.
Gus problems.
Like all rural pastors I faced the
problem of bringing up family on the
small salaries paid by country churches
and the constant migration of young
men on the farms to the cities To exc
out my salary, I decided to go into the
chicken business in small way r
studied the methods used at StorrsI
Agricultural college and carried them
out to the letter with amazing results.
81 then organized among my congre-I
cation the Canton Centre Poultry club
and taught the members the scientific
care of birds / organized them into a
cooperative producing and selling COM
bine, with the result that it has
brought a much greater degree of pros
perity to us all.
During the last year I, as managerl
of the club, sold more than $4,000
worth of eggs alone from the coops of
the few members of the club Every
egg sold was candled and pronounced
perfect Many were thrown away
those that showed any sign Of blood
streaks seen in so many eggs. At pres
ent we are getting 80 cents a dozen
wholesale for our largest eggs. Wei
have found that by lighting the coops
with electricity for few hours each
hight the egg production is increased
20 per cent.
