Washington. - Twice between 4
O'Clock and daylight Wednesday an
American flag at half mast was dis
played in front of the German en-
bassy, which had failed to half staff
its own flag in honor of Woodrow
Wilson. The first ceremony was
staged by group of about 200 taxi
cab drivers. The bIuecoats, after con-
ferring with officers of the embassy,
departed, taking with them the flag
pole and flag. Fired by the example
of the taxi drivers, residents Of the
Delta Chi fraternity house at 1902
Massachusetts avenue, climbed up the
front porch of the embassy and tied
an American flag to the railing over
the door Neither the taxi drivers nor
the students, their leaders explained,
had any intention of injuring the en-
bassy or embarrassing the representa-
tives of the German government. 1--WE
were only showing them that a GER
tain private citizen deserved some
consideration" they said. At IL 80
Wednesday morning, in accordance
with the statement issued by embassy
officials, the German flag was brought
to half staff and remained there.

PENNSY UNION LOSES
$I5,OOO,OOO PAY SUIT

Philadelphia. - System Federation
No, 80 lost its suit for $15,O00OOO
back pay" against the Pennsylvania
railroad Federal Judge Dickinson de-
cided, as he had in a previous action
by the clerks brotherhood that fed
eral courts have no power to enforce
decisions of the railroad labor board.
The claim for the S15,00O,O00 was
made in behalf of 10000 employees in
six shop crafts said to be enrolled in
the system federation Judge Dick
insons ruling undoubtedly will be APP
pealed to the United States Supreme
court Attorneys for the federation,
including Morris Hillquist of New
York, one time Socialist candidate for
president, announced they would take
such action
The federation contended that the
railroad refused to recognize orders
and decisions of the rail board fixing
the wage scale for the different shop
crafts and disobeyed the boards order
that employees be allowed to desig-
nate their brotherhood to represent
them at conferences with the railroad.
These actions, the federation main
tanned, constituted a conspiracy to de-
prive it's members of legal rights
granted to- them by the transporta-
ton act.
The $15,00000O claim arose from
pay reduction by the railroad which
the federation insisted was without
sanction of the rail board.

One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders

VOUR doctor can tell you that
nervous disorders are very COM
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, a drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stirnulant for the heart and nervous
system. 1t has tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg-
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
If you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
time drink.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. It is alb
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try cup of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is
sold everywhere.
