AGE OF ENGINEER
IN WRECK ASKED
New Jersey Inquiry Brings
Out Lack of Retirement Linn
it for Rail Employees.
BY the Consolidated Press.

NEW YORK, November 20.-In-
vestigation Of the recent Pennsylvania
Railroad wreck in New Jersey, which
cost the lives of 10 persons, has pro
Sressed to the point where it may
lead to q still further and wider gen
eral inquiry by Government or State
agencies into the age of engineers en-
ployed today in pulling the fastest
limited trains of the American rail
roads
1t is the constant plea of railroads
on which disastrous wrecks have oc-
Cured that the engineer at fault had
been in the service of the company
Tor 40 or % years. and no cause
could be assigned for his dereliction.
Recently il was also announced that
an engineer Of one of the most famous
of the Eastern trains had retired at 70
years of age, after pulling this crack
train daily since its Inauguration
many years ago.
Retirement Ace Urged
The question which may be put up
10 the interstate Commerce Commits
sion to deal with is as to whether the
railroads should reduce their retire
ment age and relieve from active duty
engineers who have passed beyond
90 or 65 years. The Government for
years has insisted upon the retirement
II
officers at 62, yet it must be admitted
that the strain Of a life at the throttle
OF modern locomotive travelling at
so and 20 miles an hour, through
Summer suns or Winter nights, is
far more eXhausting, far more wear
ing on the nerves, than the normal
, duties of either a naval or an Army
officer.
No naval officer at 60. as a matter
of fact, is given actual physical work
to do, even in peace times. He would
not, for instance, be permitted at that
age to pilot a warship along the coast
or into a harbor. If the naval officer
at 50 has not reached flag rank, where
he merely plans and directs, he gen.
orally will be found ashore, where
there is no strenuous work to be per-
formed.
Likewise. in the Army, at "a no
officer would be found in the trenches
or in the first line of assault or de-
tense. He would either be a general
at headquarters, or be we'll down the
line Of service of supply.
Age Often Boosted.
In American raflroading, however,
the great old age of the locomotive
engineer has been a boast rather than
an excuse. His kindly face and griz-
Zled looks have been pictured in story,
song and advertisement. Traffic Of
ficials whose views have been sought
on the subject say that the policy Of
the railroads in general Of keeping a

man at the throttle so long as he is
physically fit to handle a train has
been more than justified by the rec
ords for safety which have been made
in this country.
Considering the number of passer-
gers carried, it is asserted, American n
railroads are among the safest, if not
the safest, in the world. No other
country where travel is so heavy has
such long hauls. 1t further is pointed
out that the hours of labor for an
engineer are short. Often his run is
not more than four or five hours
duration. The law requires that no
tralnmen be employed more than
eight hours a day.

WASHINGTON
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

THIS was his greatness; he com
bined
Vision and judgment, fact and dream;
His was the truly balanced mind,
Not skeptlcal, nor yet extreme.
No thinker quicker caught the CLEAN
OF newborn stars in human skies,
And yet he tested star and stream,
On earth and heaven kept his eyes.
This was his greatness: he could be
Leader and comrade master, man;
He wore the robe of dignity,
With human brotherhood his plan.
He was the first American,
pattern for nation now,
His soul as large as heavens span,
His heart as tender as It's dew.
This was his greatness: Washington
Met strength with strength, yet could
be kind
Without the look Of weakness-one
Who firmness, gentleness, combined.
His was the truly balanced mind
That none could flatter nor defame;
To glory and ambition blind,
He won, unsought, a deathless name.

FANNY

FANNY, which was originally con-,
= sidered a diminutive of Frances,
has become sufficiently an individual
entity to be regarded as a separate
name entirely. Its origin is in reality
very complicated as it is one of a
dozen diSsimilar names that come
from the Frey of TeutOnic mythology. 8
Freya was the goddess of love, but
she likewise drives over the battle
fields in her car drawn by cats and
chooses half the slain whom she es-
cOrts to their seats at the banquet Of
Valhalla.
The modern Fanny is apparently OF
the days Of Queen Anne, coming into
notice with the beautiful Lady Fanny
Shirley, who made it a great favOrite
and almost a proverb for prettiness
and simplicity, so that the wits Of
George us time called John, Lord
Hervey Lord Fanny" for his effemi-
macy. Fanny is often given at bap-
tism instead of the full name, Frances,
and by an odd caprice, it has lately
been adopted in both France and Ger
many instead of their national con-
fractions.
One poet, doubtless seeking to cele~
brate the beauty of the lovely Lady
Shirley, wrote a Song to Fanny"
which has lyrical charm:
Nature, thy fair and smiling face
Has now a double power to bless;
For it's the glass in which I trace
My absent Fanny's loneliness.
Her heavenly eyes above me shine,
The rose rejects her modest blush,
She breathes in every eglantine
she sings in every warblng thrush
That her dear form alone I see,
Need not excite surprise in any;
For Fannys all the world TO me,
And all the world to me is Fanny.
Fanny's jewel is the wondgously
lovely fire-opal The restless colors
of the ordinary opal are ia; surpassed
by the fre-Opal whose mysterious
depths are shot with flame The stone
is perhaps the only one which super
stition regards as unlucky except in
cases of persons born in October. Leg
end has it that a pixie clad in brill
liant cOlors has been imprisoned in the
stone; he moves restlessly about seek
ing egress, but only human tears can
melt the gem and give him freedom,
so he contrives all manner of mischief
for the wearer, to bring about that
end. Fannie's lucky day is Friday and
3 is her mystic number

Jour Last
name
is 1T KISSAM?

THERE seems to be much difference
of opinion and uncertainty concern
ing the surname Nissan. However.
there is no uncertainty concerning the
fact that the family was founded in
this country by one John Nissan,
born in 1914, who made his home In
Flushing, L. l. 1t is not known where
he was born. That Is, some authori-
ties say that he was born in England.
while others say he was a native of
Amsterdam, Holland, and others have
it that he was HuguenOt from Mont
pelier, France. 1t would be interest
ing for some member Of the Nissan
family to trace to it's Source each one
of these traditions.
The fact that the Kissams were IL
ways strong supporters of the English
or Episcopal church certainly suggests
that they were English rather than
Hollanders, though there are some in
stances Of families of Dutch name
having become devoted EplscopalIans.
Sometimes the fact that the head Of
the family married women of that
church led to the future alliance of
the family with that church.
1t is also recalled that the Klssams
were strong Tories in the Revolution.
a fact that has been cited in proof Of
the English origin of the family. But
this might be explained in another
way. The Kissams We're from the first
persons of prominence in Queens coun-
ty, Long Island, and intermarried with
the Whitehead, Rutgers, Hewlett,
Treadwell, Combs, Van Brunt, Wander
bilt and other prominent families in
and about New York city.
Semple-There is no doubt that this
is derived from an earlier form Of sur
name, st. Paul This sort of contrac-
ton of a saints name was quite usual
Holland-At first sight you might
suppose that the first to bear this
name was a native of the Netherlands,
but it is an English name derived
from a small place in Lancashire
called Holland.
Maud-This is clearly a matronymic.
That is to say, it is a surname derived
from the mother rather than from the
father.
LOwe-This is usually a German
Jewish name and, of course, is from
the word meaning lion in German.
About a hundred years ago. when Ger
man Jews were required by law to
adopt a definite surname, many took
names of animals and birds. as Adler,

Stop Night Coughing
This Simple Way

People who have persistent, an
moving coughing spells at night, and
who through loss of valuable sleep
are weakening their systems and
laying themselves open to dangerous
infections, can stop their distressing
trouble promptly by q very simple
treatment. Hundreds who have
hardly been able to rest at all for
coughing, have gotten their full
nights sleep the very first time they
tried it.
The treatment is based on a re-
markable prescription known as DR..
Kings New Discovery for Coughs.
You simply take a teaspoonfu1 at
night before retiring and hold it in
your throat for Is or 20 seconds be-
fore swallowing it, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has a double action. It not only
sootheS and heals soreness and irri-
tatlon, but it quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause of the
coughing. The result is that you
usually sleep as soundly as a babe
the very first night, and the entire
cough condition goes in a very short
time.
The prescription is highly recon-
mended for coughs, chest colds,
hoarseness and bronchitis, and is
wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic croup-no harmful drugs.
Economical, too, as the dose is only
one teaspoonful. 1t is on sale at all
good druggists. Ask for

THE WORLDS GREATEST
DAYS.
Ten lessons have been spent from
one Sunday to the next of these Won
derful last days of our Lord, practi-
cally one-third of the period given to
our study of His whole life. That is
about the way it is treated by the
Gospelers except John, who gives of
his q chapters to its treatment. Evil
IDENTIFY the early church preached the
death of Jesus as it's outstanding
message, and when the apostles were
growing few the writer's gathered up
in the Gospels what had been most in
their speech. Such is the place of the
cross in the plan of God. One lesson
went to the forty days following that
ended in the ascension tho it is likely
if the story were being written today
that larger place would be given to
the resurrection than to the dying
Lord, for as Paul puts it, eff we are
reconciled by the death of His Son,
we are saved by His life" And never
in all the years has that life been so
studied and it's teaching so applied to
human affairs as now as the world
gropes for a Lord over its life eco
nomic and intellectual.
1t was the appeal of Jesus to the
heart of Jerusalem striving to save it

years later. This summons, given

ELABORATE efforts are being
made to make the big celebra-

of the most momentous ever held
in the southwest and, while it is
not original, nor are any claims be-
ing put forward of it's originality,
still the unique program being ar
ranged will afford sights and
thrills unfamiliar to most people OF
this part of the country.
A similar celebration was held in
Glendale, Calf, last month, at
which more than 10000 people were
visitors. In California airplanes
and their passage through the air
has of late years become common,
and they are better versed in the
ways, and have the means. to put

what the celebration consists.
