C. Woolbridge. supervisor fuel conser vation section, says, among other things:" "Speaking for Allegheny region, prior 'to August, September and Octo ber, 1918, records of fuel consumption per unit of work done were incomplete on many railroads. It developed, therefore, that comparisons involving months prior to August. 1918, depended largely on estimates and it is of particular Interest and gratifying to not that'' comparisons between records of August, September and October Of 291 and corresponding months of the previous year, show that in each case the Allegheny region made a greater saving than was accomplished In any other region.

The total saving in this region for the aforesaid three months due to improvement in service was The strike of coal miners in bituminous fields resulted in the use of large quantities of very Inferior fuel and also In serious Interruption in the movement of business' and interference with necessary supervision and instruction, with a consequent saving of only $217,166 in the November 1 0 1 tttWwmaMAA am with records for November, 1918." In commenting upon this report, General Manager E. I.

Joseph H.

This Trackwalker Has Some Marathon Record Denholm. Feb. 3. Benjamin F.

Burns, 66 years old, closed out his 32 years as a track watchman for the Pennsylvania, Railroad, during which time he has walked an average of 1 miles a night, ten of which comprised his regular beat and three more to and from his home. Invall those years he lost only six days from his work and this was on account of being ill so that it is figured that he actually walked 151.840 miles, or more than six times around the world. Mr. Burns is a man well preserved, both mentally and physically, one who is well read on the questions of interest, an artist, of no mean ability, and altogether a man one would expect to find in some other walk of life, but he has remained in the position chiefly because he loved nature and there was no better place than his present beat In the heart of the Lewistown Narrows. His beat covers the scene of the Lone Bandit hold up of the Pittsburgh express in 1909, and he has made friends with the birds and wild creatures along his route.

To Relieve Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises If you have Catarrhal Deafness or are hard of hearing or have head noises go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add! to It pint of hot water and a little granulated sagar. Take one taMacwoaful four times a day. i this will eaten bring quick relief fresn the distressing head noises. Gteggei oatrlls should open, breathing eoom easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take.

Anyone who has Catarrhal Deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial. ARE they sensitive, spongy and irritable under the stroke of the brush? If so, you may be sure that Pyorrhea is warning you of its approaching danger, for it is with symptoms such as these that this loathsome disease begins. As Pyorrhea develops, other serious ailments make themselves manifest, breaking down nerves and bodily health. The gum tissues waste and recede the teeth loosen and fall from the mouth. Slowly and stealthily, the poisonous germs spread their infection into the system, frequently causing' indigestion, neuralgia, grippe and anaemia.

If used soon enough and often enough, PYRODENTO will prevent. Pyorrhea or oppose its progress. It will make the gums firnai and healthy while it cleans and polishes the teeth. PYRODENWS smooth, pure Olive Oil base is insoluble in the mouth juices thereby holding its germ destroying properties on the gum tissues long enough to be thoroughly effective. The 'Olive Oil nourishes the gums and keeps them strong and hard.

Many men are oft on account of Illness, and extra men are keeping on tha move. Soft coal shipments continue heavy. In 48 hours the Reading hauled 1,500 cars of bituminous and took care of hundreds of cars of general freight.

The Reading Railway Company is sending an average of B00 empty cars to the soft coal mines every day. The Central Railroad of New Jersey, as well as all other lines handling anthracite, are diverting as many of their cars into the bituminous fields as can be spared. The unusual severity of the weather has greatly retarded the unloading of both anthracite and soft coal, and not much of an Improvement is expected until the temperature moderates. Never before has the demand for empty cars been so great as at present. This does not only apply to coal cars but box and gondolas.

Thus far the Reading Coal and Iron Company has managed to keep up the production of anthracite, although the cold weather has somewhat interfered with the operations. The shipments range from 1,000 to 1,200 cars dally, depending upon the supply of cars. Many of the coal and freight trains starting out from Rutherford were caught by the sudden drop in the temperature early Saturday morning. As a result a number of them were unable to complete their run within the 16 hour limit, and it was necessary to send out extra crews to relieve them. Railroaders say that this is one of the toughest winters that they have ever experienced.

SuperintenoVnt Elmer III; Staff Meeting Called Off William Elmer, superintendent of the Philadelphia Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad was confined to his home yesterday with a severe cold. The weekly meeting of department heads was galled off. It was planned to take up the question of first aid meetings and entertainments. Unusual interest is manifested in this work. Through the efforts of Superintendent Elmer, employes, of every branch are practicing First Aid and there will he a big meeting in the near future ot which committee work will be In order and prises offered for the best team.

S. and England "Germany while down is far from being out, and unless we keep our eyes on her with "that thought uppermost in our minds she will be again a power in world politics before we realize it." Frederick W. Wile, for some years American correspondent in London for American newspapers and for twelve years American correspondent for, London newspapers in Berlin, arid now Washington correspondent for the Philadelphia Public Ledger, asserted in an address before the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce at noon to day. Mr.

Wile, who, at the outbreak of the. war in 1914, was arrested on the pretext of' being an English spy in Berlin and narrowly escaped execution through the good offices of Ambassador Gerard, is a strong believer in the maintenance of relations of the closest and friendliest nature between America and Great Britain. Referring to the League of xvauons a Date now in progress in the Senate, he said he is a believer in the efficacy of a thoroughly Americanized League, but' whether or not such a league as now under consideration succeeds it is his opinion that a League of Nations composed of the English speaking peoples of the world is all that is necessary and that such a league would be "able to dominate the world without domineering it for the good of the world and for our own benefit." Clouds Are Visible Mr. Wile said he realized that there are clouds on the international horizon between the two powers, but he thought them largely due to misunderstanding and said that the great bar to an American under, standing of the British is the shyness of the Englishman and his training in the repression of his emotions. "Englishmen," he quoted, "have all the characteristics of the poker, except its occasional heat." The British realize that the money power has passed perhaps forever from London to New York, and that maritime supremacy is slipping from them to America, he said, and they view these conditions with concern, but they believe that with the increasingly sharp commercial competition there is also close co operation.

"The English speaking people possess the bulk of the brains, the money and the raw materials of the world and we have very much the same fundamental Ideas," making possible a combination of interests that would dominate the world and cause even the most ambitious would ba conquerors from attacking civilisation as Germany did. Recognize V. Power Mr. Wile said the sensible people of England, while they are mindful that they played a giant's part in the war, are ready to admit that it was American men and money that drove, the last nail in the Kaiser's coffin and that the feeling there is net antagonistic to this country. Finally he expressed the belief that there may come a time in the no distant future when ing peoples will have to unite for the defense of all those things for which the Magna Charts, stands.

The speaker's remarks were inter spersed with interesting personal reminiscences and experiences abroad, including a vivid wod picture of the surrender of the German boata to the British Navy, which he witnessed from the bridge of the flagship of the British commander. He paid a high compliment to Captain Bruce Balrnsfather, the brilliant English soldier cartoonist, who comes to Harrisburg Thursday evening and expressed the hope that his apperanee here would be greeted by a large audience, Mr. Wile was introduced by E. J. gtackpole, president of the Chamber, and at the conclusion of his address a vote of thankp was tendered him on motion of David E.

SADLER REPLIES TO SUIT "In reply to the inquiries made at the State Highway Department to day concerning the mandamus action brought by the Secretary of the State Motor Federation in the Dauphin County Court to test the right of the State Highway Department to require all applicants for registration of motor vehicles to furnish detailed information relating to lights, violation cf traffic laws, Commissioner Sadler said that most careful consideration was given in the preparation of the application blanks, under the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Law, approved June 30, 1919, which clearly sets' forth certain duties of the Commissioner of Highways one of the principals of which is safeguarding the public against careless and reckless operation of motor vehicles.

Trahan, Republican, testified that the ten Socialist mem bers, in the Assembly in February, 1918, were the only members to vote against a resolution, which was in the nature of a message to the Army and Navy from the New York Legislature, praising American soldiers and sailors for fighting to further the cause of democracy and assuring them they were carrying out the principles of Abraham Lincoln. In cross examination, Seymour Stedman, counsel for the defense, brought out that a rising vote was taken and that the negative was not called for.
