Old Masters

When I have fears that ! may
cease to be
Before my pen has CLEANED my
teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charac-
try
Hold like rich gamers the full
ripened grain;
When I behold, upon the nights
starred face,
Huge cloudy symbols OF a high
romance,
And think that may never live to
trace
Their shadows, with the magic
hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature Of
an hour!
That shall never look upon thee
more,
Never have relish in the fairy
power
OF unrehecting love!-then on
the shore
OF the wide world I stand alone,
and think
Till Love and Fame to nothing
ness do sink.

worry; that he would escape with
a fine. (The doctor got the
sentenee). DR.. Shumaker chal-
lenges such an assertion, and there
the issue is joined. 1t would
hardly seem appropriate for a
senator to assure immunity from
prison term when the power to
pronounce the verdict OF convic-
ton or acquittal was with the
Supreme Court of the State.
Senator Watson is not physically
well. We are very sorry. We we're
hopeful that he would come back

An east side resident today ap-

curing some repairs on Boyd Ave-
between Finley Ave. and Walker

Dear Mr.. Fixit: Will you please
use your influence to get some at
tention given to Boyd Ave. between
Finley Ave. and Walker Ave. This
street is nothing but yellow clay,
with ruts through it from six inches
to foot deep. 1t becomes almost
impossible with every rain.
Some cinders would be a great
help. Thanking you In advance.
G. X. X.

Woodward promised to inspect
the street and make temporary
repair with cinders If possible.
Cinders would only temporarily
better the condition. You should

regarding the circumstances. His
affidavit lacks much of the per-
sonal warmth which has charac-
terized the Senator for many
years. 1t is hardly Watsonian,
and leaves regret and some meas
ure of disappointment. But it is
interesting to note that even great
men do not always agree as to
the actual purport of a converse
ton. There is some excuse for
failures on the part of US ordinary
mortals to properly understand or
interpret the conversations or con-
illusions which we make to each
other.

Learn, but Don't Think

Thinkers the world over are be-
ginning to suspect that we spend
too much time learning how to do
things and not enough studying
whether it's wise tc do them.
This suspicion is illustrated
wildly in the career Of that Swed-
ish scientist, who, after devoting
his life to the invention and man
ufacture of explosives. dedicated
his fortune to the promotion of
science, culture and international
brotherhood through the annual
distribution of prizes.

The Rules

1. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, a given number of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only one let
ter at a time.
8. You must have a complete
word, Of common usage, for each
jump. Slang words and abbrevia-
tions don't count.
4. The order of letters cannot be
changed.

How should white potatoes be pre-
pared for boiling?
The proper way to boil potatoes Is
to wash and pare them and drop
them into cold water for a short
time. Cook in boiling water until
tender when pierced with a fork and
just before removing from the water
add the salt. The water should be
kept boiling constantly. When done,
drain and shake the pan over the
fire to dry the potatoes and pan.
What kind of paint is used on iron
pipes to keep them from rusting?
Give them at least one coat Of
pure red lead, mixed from the dry
article with raw oil and turpentine,
equal parts to which a little oil
drier is added. Finish with a good
black paint made from pure lamp
black, boiled linseed oil and japan,
or a good varnish black.
Who made the first nOn.stOp

The Ripley plan left the Pennsyl-
vania untouched, except to take away
from 1t the Norfolk & Western, which
he wanted as the nucleus of another

Chesapeake & Ohio.

Lehigh Valley for the main stem for

Sharpshooting Starts.
Sharpshooting commenced with the
publication OF the plan and the battle
began. The plan seemed to find no
favor in any railroad quarter. The
New York Central wanted the Jersey
Central and this provoked open oppo.
sition from the Baltimore & Ohio.
while the Pennsylvania protested
against being shorn Of the Norfolk &
Western.
New militant railroad forces came
upon the scene of conflict when the
Van Sweringens appeared with their
plans for trunk line system. They
opposed joining the Nickel Plate with
the Lackawanna or the Lehigh, but
wanted the Chesapeake & Ohio. The
Van Sweringens later suggested the
consolidation Of the Nickel Plate, the

and caused the Baltimore & Ohio and
the Van Sweringen forces to join issue
with the New York Central as against

Loree found that the four-trunk-line
plan left the Delaware & Hudson prac-
tically isolated. He proposed as a sub.
stitute a fifth trunk line, made up of

Loree Wages Campaign.
The head of the Delaware & Hudson
aggressively waged his campaign,
while this plan was being formulated,
by securing options on the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburgh. and then
threw a bomb in the railroad camps
by asking Interstate Commerce Com
mission permission to build a line
across Pennsylvania from Easton. Pa,
to Pittsburgh. and also asking certain
trackage rights from the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
The Loree plan Is said today to have
undergone notifications. 1t is report

In the war of consolidation the New
York Central, Nickel Plate and Balti-

the Wheeling & Lake Erie, while the
Baltimore & Ohio secured a minority
interest in the Western Maryland. 1t
was the purchase of the stocks of
these feeder-line railroads that brought
about leaping prices for Wheeling &

Snake poisons, DIR. Anaral says, are
complicated compounds - involving
from eight TO 20 toxic principles ac-
cording to the species. One venom
may attack the body through the

places. Each poison must be analysed
