the following article written by
Gerald Wilson:

the following article written by
Gerald Wilson:
Have you ever noticed the stars?
Have you ever tried to pick out con-
stellations? If you haven't, this is
a good time of the year to start
Astronomy is the most interesting
study there is. Go out in your yard
tonight and look into the sky and
see how many consultations you
can find. See if you can pick out
the planet Mars, the red star that
rises soon after sunset in the East
and as night grows older moves to-
ward the West. Try to find Orion
in the Southeast, the most attrac-
tive winter constellation, and, just
east of it, Sirius, the dog star Try
to see the Pleiades or the seven
sisters that are right above you.
Venus is the showiest star in the
sky, being low and large in the
South, moving West for three hours
after sunset. There is one star es-
pecially that every one should be
able to locate, and that is the North
Star or Polar Star. To find this
star, first look in the North for the
big dipper or Ursa Major. After
finding it, draw an imaginary line
through the two outside stars of the
bowl of the big dipper and follow
this imaginary line straight upward
and you will find the North Star
sitting by itself in the sky. The
North Star is the end of the handle
of Ursa Minor or the little dipper.
Look over your head to the North,
in the Milky Way for the Northern
Cross, and again to the South for
Jupiter. You may not find all these
stars the first night; but keep on
looking, and after a while you will
be able. not only to pick out the
few named, but many others and en-
joy doing it.

Remarks by Maine Railroad Man
 Here Are Recalled

Outspol1en opinions adverse 10 railroad consolidation made by President Percy Todd Of the Bangar
 x AroostOOll at the annual banquet of the New Britain Traffic associa- tion in this city on December 5 are recalled by the recommendation Of the interstate commerce. commission at Washington to establish q sys- tens throughout the country. Presi- dent Todd was a guest at the ban quet and one. of the principal speak CTS. Concerning railroad consolida- ton. he said
 "Before closing I would like to say a word in regard to railroad consolidation. particularly within New England, as to which there has been a good deal ot talk and a good many newspaper articles have been published. Personally I do not be- licVc that railroad consolidation is going to be the great improvement that so many people. particularly politicians, seem 10 expect. I doubt very much whether the anticipated economies from consultations will materialize; it is true that the salaries of some executives can be dispensed with and that clerical forces in general offices can be re- duced, but, on thcother hand, while railroad wages are substantially. though not entirely, uniform throughout New England, what We call working conditions differ very For instance. on one railroad in New England if a super intcndont thinks he will have to run an extra passenger train or freight train and calls an extra crew to re- port for duty for that service. and then finds he will not need them. as

Sore Throats
 and Coughs
Quickly Relieved by this
 Safe Prescription

Here's a doctors prescription that is really throat insurance. Sore or irritatcd throats are re- lirVcd and soothcd almost instantly with the very first swallow. About 3oGr of all coughs are caused by an lrriIot"d throat; consequently for most coughs too there is nothing better than this famous prescrip- tion-it goes direct to the internal cause. IL is put up under the name ThoNinc and is guaranteed to stop coughs and relieve core throats in l' minutes or your money will be refunded. Singers and speakers find ThoNinc very valuable.
 The remarkable thing about ThoNine is that while it relieves al most instantly, it contains nothing harmful is pleasant tasting and safe for tn" whole family Ask for ThoNinn Soc, COG, and $1.00 bot ties. Sold by City Drug Store and all other good drug stores.

these men have been called from their homes, on that road they are paid two hours for reporting; on a nelghboring road they are paid half a day and I think on some roads q full day Again, where it is neces- Sary for freight train that cannot
 haul it's entire train mp some grade, to double-that is take part of the train mp and then go back and get the balance-I know of one road, where there is a very bad three mile grade, if the crew has to double they are only paid for six miles ad- diuOnal mileage; whereas on the other roads they are paid half a day and in some cases a full day. Now
 if all these roads are consolidated into one, there will be an immed- ate demand for labor for equaliza-
 ton of these conditions and that
 equalization will be upward Of course, not downward, and will lead 10 a vast increase in expense, which in my opinion will far more than offset the savings made in the gen eral offices
 Again l doubt whether the ship pors and the public generally would
 have as close touch and could get the same consideration that they do now from the various local man a@enents Of one great corporation and its employees could be as close and pleasant as they are with the various local managements today; however, my personal views in this matter will not cut any ice. Con- gross seems determined to have the railroads consolidated and therefore W" turn to the question Of what form Of consolidation would be best for the New England public and as to that there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that there should be one strong New England railroad com pany. embracing all Of the railroads in New England. with one or two possible exceptions.
 There are very few cases where an industry in New England is not in competition with similar in- dustry located west of the Hudson river; in such case the interests or a railroad and of such New Eng land industry would be one and a powerful New England railroad . would be able, in cooperation with | New England shippers, to protect !
