OLD MEMORIES
WITHOUT DANGERS

Veteran doughboys of Companies
F and G of the 18th Infantry, a
part of the Famous First Division,
stationed at Fort Schuyler, N. Y,
assisted Sidney Olcott in staging the
air raid scenes for 1.-THE Humming
Bird" Gloria Swanson's latest Para
mount picture due on Jan. Is and
16 at the Weaver Theatre. The
scenes, showing the blowing up of
portions of the St. Lazare prison in
Paris, were taken in the ruins of
the old Fort Schuyler, which was
constructed in 1910. Bombs of the
type used in the World War were
utilized in the scenes and the Amer
lean soldiers had the time of their
lives acting as technical directors for
this particular portion of the Para
mount picture. 1t brought back all
the memories of the front without
any of the dangers. Col. George B.

Simple Hairdressins

While one or two ornamental pins
may be stuck into the hair OF the Chi
nese or japanese woman, they are at
best only added attractions. and all
the work of keeping the complicated
coil and elaborate structure firmly In
place Is done by one pin and one pin
only, the Detroit News says.
OIL Of camellia, cactus, or some
other perfumed lubricant is applied
freely while the hair is In process Of
being combed. This combing, as well
as the anal arranging, is hardly ever
done by the well-born woman herself,
but by her waiting maid. The hair is
brought to perfection Of black satiny
gloss and smoothness, In which
stiffening Of gum plays no small part
1t Is then bound tightly close to the
head with a silk cord, coiled, and
the ends tied with silk. 1t is then
twisted into the desired knot and the
famous single pin deftly slipped
through the center. maintaining the
whole. No matter how thick and
heavy the trssses may be, the one
spoonshaped 'pin" does the trick.

Train Indian Boys in
Fine Art of Stealing

The Stone Hammer society, an or
ganization to teach Hidatsa Indian
boys how to steal, Ii described by
Miss Frances Densmore Of the Smith
sonian Institutions bureau Of Ameri-
can ethnology In study OF the music
OF these little known and almost ex-
tinct North Dakota Indians which has
just been announced.
While the chief purpose of the
society was to train boys In stealth
and theft. there were strict regula-
lions OF the manner In which the
stealing was done. The Stone Ham
mer raids took place at night, and II
was required that, before sunset, the
boys go through camp announcing that
they would steal that night. Every
one was fully notified and proceeded to
hide their provisions In what they
considered the safest places.
1t was not unusual, Miss Densmore
reports. for the Stone Hammer boys
to lift the blanket on which an old
woman was sleeping. lay the blanket
and the old woman gently to one side,
and take the dried meat or other food
from beneath her bed without waking
her.
The next night the boys made up
packs Of gifts for the people who had
been robbed, and ii was considered
that everything was properly ad
justed.

NEVER So MUCH
BUSINESS AS NOW
Volume of Freight Handled
BY Railroads in This
Country Breaks All
Records

Business conditions are indicated
by the business done in freight by
the railroads. According to report
of the Car Service division of the
American Railway association, for
the week ended October 18th, 1924,
there never was so much business
done in this country in one week as
during that week. Even the rush and
heavy business handled during the
peak of war time activity did not
equal it. Following is the report in
part:
More cars are loaded with revenue
freight during the week which end
ed on October 18th than during any
one week before in history, according
to reports filed today by the carriers
with the Car Service division of the
American Railway association.
The total for the week was 1,102,-
S36 cars. This exceeded by 4,849
the previous high record for all time
established during the week of Sep
TENDER 20, 1923, when the total was
1,097,493 cars. This also exceeded
by 1884 cars the preceding week
this year which had marked the pre-
vious peak for 1924.
Not only does this figure LOB
1876 cars, represent the highest car
loading for any week in the history
of the American railroads but this
new high record was accomplished
without car shortage, congestion or
other transportation disability. To-
day there are about 100000 surplus
freight cars in good repair and inn
available for service when
needed while the railroads have ap-
$500 serviceable loco
motives in storage, about twice as
many as they had at this time last
year.
There are three reasons why the
railroads were able to meet this rec
ord freight movement during the
week of October 18th without trans
portation difficulties. The reasons
are:
/. Additions to the railroad plant
and improvement in the operation
brought about through large fnan-
cial expenditures.

car shortage from the western states.
The California perishable producers
heretofore have been confronted with
periodical car shortages but this year
there has been no shortage of refrig-

In addition to establishing a new
high record in the number of cars
loaded with revenue freight, the rail-
roads during the week of October
18th also established three other
new high records as follows:
More cars We're loaded with miscel-
aneous freight during the week than
ever before on record, the total be-
ng 1924 cars. This was an in
'rease of 1878 cars above the pre-
yious high record established during
he week of September 9th this

A total of 1902 cars was loaded
With live stock during the week. the
greatest number for any one week
his year, exceeding by 1,46O cars
he previous peak established dur
ng the week of October II, 1924.
The railroads on Wednesday, Oc- /
ober 18th, moved total of $780,
IL freight cars including both load
d and empties. This was the great
st number ever hauled on any sim
lie day on record, exceeding by 1888
