At scissors, one may take train
for Rheims at 7.05 p. m, due to ar
rive at 9:O3. A. string of tiny
coaches is pulled up by fixing
engine-this engine with its stern
facing its mission Of the night. It's
local train-a "peddler," and it
shrieks along through the cool air
of evening, stopping at every cross

Of lights, a grinding of brakes, and
the shout Of the conducteur:

"Fismes-Fismes! Tout de monde

Think of it!
"Fismes! Fismes! Everybody

The conducteur is correct. Be-

form a gas light flickers and its
rays illumine huge sign Of white
letters on a blue background:

IN NEW YORK

New York, May 30.-This is the
time of year when Broadway tucks
its attractions up in mothballs and
dozes off until the cool days.
Theatrical attractions pull down
the shades, leaving but few very
hardy musical shows and one or two
dramatic attractions to face the sum-
mer. In most of these the stars get
substitutes for the hot months and
the travellers from way points look
upon a scanty list of attractions in
the cut-rate ticket stores. The movies
begin to put in their ice plants and
one by one the night clubs close and
silently steal away, some to open
roadhouses in the country and some
to call it all off for the season.
There's tired expression all over
the big street just before June hops
on the calendar. Those who have
basked under the moon and slept
under the sun begin to take on
that drawn look. The night club
regulars get ready to. call it a sea-
son, and some step off to Europe to
whoop it up more than ever. Some
actually take rest.
Broadway seems to stretch, yawn
and ask to be left alone. Surely it
offers little. to invite the curious.
1t dims its lights and mutes its
music.
Already the jazz banditti gather
at musicians corner" and inquire
about summer resorts that may want
musicians. In a few weeks the cor
ner will be damned as eager college
students ado their presence ana tue
bidding for resort jazz gets under
way. Those for whom the season has
been a bit tough angle for "pick
up" engagements in the seashore
hotels or mountain camps.
More and more the street crowds
reflect the atmospheres of the hinter-
lands. Europe-bound folk stop over
to catch New York" before sailing
and newcomers wander up the warm
and dusty looking big street trying
to figure out what the attraction of
it is.

A new watering trough for horses

One of the most common indus
trial poisons is carbon disulphidc,
used in the manufacture Of thin
rubber articles, artificial silk and in
the preparation of cellulose.
When this substance is taken into
the body, it seems to have partic
ular effect on the, nerve tissues,
so that the patients become para
lyzed, sometimes show symptoms of
insanity, and sometimes blinQness
due to its action On the optic nerve.
It will be remembered that wood
alcohol seems also to have a special
affinity for the optic nerve, and that
it also produces blindness.
Illuminating gas contains another
important poison, carbon monoxide.
which is responsible. for sudden
death when it is inhaled from the
exhaust of motor cars in closed
garage. In 1882 an investigator an
nounced that he had discovered
changes in the brain following poi
soning with carbon monoxide and
recently numerous instances have
been described in which such poison
ings have resulted in serious disturb
anccS OF. the brain.
In addition to mental disturbances,
this poison may also result in blind
ness and in producing changes of
great seriousness in the blood.
1t would be possible to list dozens
of other poisons which produce SER
ious changes in the body when they
are taken in. They include all Of the
combinations of the coal tar deriva-
tivcs, many of the poisons developed
in the war industry, particularly in
the manufacture Of powder and ben
zine and its derivatives.
Benzine causes dangerous changes
in the blood, and it is a question
whether any system Of ventilation
can possibly control the fumes of
benzine. A committee appointed to
investigate the use Of benxine in
industry recommended that some sub
stitutc be had for it whenever pos.

cage tournament at Chicago today.
A five-point lead compiled by the
fasteners was turned into a deficit
at the outset of the second half when
Schave scored twice and Gorder reg
istercd for Grand Forks in three
quick plays. The ability Of the
North Dakotans to land their long
shots offset the one handed prowcss
of Gallinant, New Jersey forward,
and the easterners' failure to follow
their long shots strengthened the
Grand Forks defense.
Kidgefield started the scoring with
Claimants short shot, but Schave
put Grand Forks abreast with Il tally
and Jarrett gave the Flickertails a
lead with a long one. Bells free

Thursday Midnight

Chicago, March 3O-lP, Midnight
tomorrow will usher in a strike in
Illinois coal fields predicted to be
100 per cent effective, unless min
crs make II proposal acceptable to
operators in the interim. The strike
will stop labors Of $4,000 miners in
$50 mines.
Ross Miller, president of the H.
linOis coal operators, said the walk
out will affect approximately 10000
coal diggcrs in the central competi-
tive field. He did not believe that
miners in the unorganized fields,
which he estimated produce 70 per
cent of the country's bituminous
coal consumption, will join the
strike April I.
Mr.. Miller said the mines in the
central competitive field, which also
includes western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, and section Of Iowa, will
also shut down, as the. miners wage
agreement with the operators cx-
pires April
The miners are standing pat for
renewal of their $3.50 day wage
scale and the operators aver they
cannot operate their mines on that
basis and compete with non-union
