Spider Haines. world champion nom
stop pole sitter is giving other as
pirants to the title something to
shoot at.
At midnigh last night Spider was
half way on his fourteenth day
atop a flag pole here but he show
ed signs of weakening and may at
any time decide to come down to
earth again.
Spiders battle with the elements
has sapped his strength.
A lightning bolt dealt him almost
knockout blow one night, the rain,
wind and hot sun have tortured him.
Spiders bald spot has been es-
pecially vulnerable to the blazing
sun.
Added to the battle with the ele-
ments, Spiders" appetite has gone
back on him and he says his joints
creak louder than the flag pole as
1t sways in the night breezes.
He has given up a patented cleo
trical massaging device and now
uses arnica.
Il aim to make it tough for the
baby that breaks my record, Spider
said.

DELUXE TOURS
 COSTLY TO ROADS
Swedish Royalty However, Paid
 Their Own Way

Washington, Jan. '. PHsupply- ing of special trains and cars to distinguished foreign visitors who wish to see this country in deluxe style has become an interesting phase of American railroading.
 Through the courtesy of the rail- roads, in many cases, members of royal families and other notables have been able to tour the United States and Canada in luxurious equipment at nominal cost to them selves. The transcontinental jaunt of Queen Marie of Rumania and the earlier visit of President Machado of Cuba are outstanding instances when the railroads themselves played host and footed most of the transporta- tion bills.
 Swedish Visitors Paid
 The Grown Prince and Princess Of Sweden paid for the special car which, attached to regular trains, took them across the country on their recent visit, but the Prince of Wales and Marshal Foch of France rode in special trains that cost item next to nothing.
 The most consistent user of special trains is President Coolidge, but he buys his own ticket out of special appropriation provided for the pur- pose. The government at times en- ployes special equipment with which
