Monday, June 29, 1914 CORPORATION'S AND COURTESY. 2 A letter from President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern railway to each and every employe of the com pany advises and insists on an atti tude toward the public by no means universal among corporations. Two paragraphs of advice read: The station agent should remember that at his station he is the Southern Railway company and the public opinion regarding the company in his community is very largely his respon sibility. In addition to maintaining the highest efficiency at his station, he should see to it that he and his sub ordinates maintain pleasant and agreeable manners in meeting the public and that all questions, even unreasonable questions, are answered with politeness i.nd courtesy. It is equally important that train men shay observe the rule of courtesy and politeness, giving full, responsive and Intelligent information to those passengers who solicit It about any thing that may happen on the road. The operation of a railroad is Inter esting to even' Intelligent man, and the more Information such a man has about actual conditions the more he will understand the difficulties en countered in operation and so con tribute to sound public opinion. ': "The success of a railroad as a business enterprise depends, in a very large measure, not only upon the ef ficiency of the transportation it af fords, but upon the personal treat ment which those doing business with the railroad receive a' the hands of Its officers and "smployas." says TTr. Harrison. This is a fact which wloe awake corporation managers have grasped. Disregard of and discourtesy toward the public becomes less evi dent as time goes on. And Mr. Harri son congratulates the employes of his sy stein that, while occasional com plaints of Instances of discourtesy are received, "the general average of courtesy and politeness In the South ern railway organization will com pare most favorably wltn that of any railroad In the United States." OCTl NATIONAL ILLITERACY. There Is still considerable Illiteracy In the United States. The latest re port Indicates that we have 5,000,000 pe-sons over ten years of nge who cannot read or write. There Is no rea son, however, for being distressed over the matter. The great majority of the illiterates are recent immi grants, Mexicans past middle age or southern negroes. For the first two clasnes we cannot do mueh. Adult laborers, whatever their original capacity, generally have little time. Inclination or aptitude for book learning. The hope for them lies with their children. The second generation of Immigrants are at least as bright during echol age as ths children of our native stock, and how a smaller percentage of llllter cy- ' Compulsory education Is having Its effect on nearly the whole of our White population. Negroes are le susceptible to Instruction than the rest f our population, but that la not reason for neglecting them. The rising tide of prosperity In the south will result In advancing ths education of the colored race, which wilt have its ef fect on the "negro problem," Nearly all our national problems become easier of solution with the progress of enlightenment. We have by far ths highest educational aver at of any great nation, and there Is ne evidence that we are losing our leadership. . COMMENDATORY. According to Its dally bulletin, the Rtate Board of Health Is just In re cipt s( a letter from a represents tlve. of an engineering oompany with Mtertnre to Morehead City, which rais In part aa follows: "I am writ tag to lt yoo -ew tltat 1 have today closed a contract as supervising and consulting engineer with the city of ficials to make a survey and prepare plans and estimates for a complete sanitary sewerage system which I think the city officials and citizens of the town will support with proper promotion and co-operation." When representatives from the board were In Morehead City and pointed out the ease with which sev eral vital insanitary conditions could be remedied, a number of the best citizens expressed themselves as fav oring sewers and a clean town and a health resort in ract as wen as in name, Morehead City is to be con gratulated on its enterprise In meet ing the health board's criticism with remedial measures, just as the State Board of. Health is to be "commended for its courage in doing its duty by Morehead City anil the State in gen eral. r 1; mournful musings A few short years of grief and mirth, and we go back to Mother Earth, our play and labor done, no more to struggle, or to plan, no more to do our fellowmun, or hustle lor the mon. An epitaph upon a stone will you whern we sleep alone, and other things relate: "As I am now, so you must be .therefore prepare to follow me, ii nd get your shroud on straight." Full soon, my friends, we shall repose, oblivious to human woes, and all men's transient Schemes; the clamor oS the busy street, the thundering of countless feet, will not disturb our dreams. Out in the silent resting place, each gent, in his own packing case, shall wait the judgment dawn; and he's in luck if living men shall mow the weeds down now and then, and mourn that he is gone. So why be straining all our days to get the best of other jays, and pile up stacks of pelf ? Why scratch so bit terly and hard to get in long green by the yard, why let our good be Self? Uh, let us blow our surplus wealth for others' happiness and health, shell out our miser's heap, and when we die, some day in June, the stores will close all afternoon, to let em ployes werp. WALT MASON. Copyright, 1914, by the Adap News paper service. ' MAKING STEEL RAILS. How the Glowing Ingots Are Rolled Into Shape and Cut. That mil mill was certainly n won derful slRht! The enormous glowing Ingots were curried on a transfer car to a sort of trough. The floor of the trough, or "table," as they call It, con sisted of a series of rollers that were turning rapidly. Riding on them, tbe bug, clumsy ingot sailed along until It bumped against a pair of lurge steel rolls. Immediately the rolls seized It and hauled it through, like clothes through a clothes wringer. We could not see that it bad been Sattened down very much, but we noticed that deep corrugations bad been cut into its up- per surface. As It moved on the rollers turned It over on Its side before It was caught by the next pair or "stand" of rolls. It went through four stands in succes sion, turning over between each stand until It bad made a "complete turn. Then it came to what is called a "three high" mill, which has three rolls, one above tbe other. First the "bloom," as it was now called, went between tbe middle and bottom rolls, but bo sooner bad it emerged than it was raised bod ily, tbe supporting roller "tables" on both sides of tbe mill being raised up simultaneously. Tbe rollers of tbe tables were then reversed, causing tbe bloom to start back between tbe middle and top rolls. The tables were now lowered, their rollers reversed and tbe bloom sent through between tbe middle and bot tom rolls, an before, but this time It was switched to one side, where tbe rolls were a little larger in diameter, and It was a tighter squeeze getting through them. And so tbe bloom went back and forth, being switched over to a tighter pass each time until It was squeezed down to about eight Inches square and over forty feet long. Tben it was cut In two, and each bloom went through another set of rolls tbat gradually worked it down to the slzt and shape of rail. It was fascinating to watch that snakelike bar over a hundred feet long writhing If alive. As It cams back for its list tally through tbe rolls whistle was blown s t warning that tbe rolling was fin ished, and tbe rail was now on Its way to tbe snws. There were five cir cular ssws that dropped down upon the glowing metal and amid a shower of sparks sawed It Into four ten-yard rails. After tbat tbe rails were car ried off on "ran out tables" to the "hot beds" to eool.-8t Nicholas. Very Plain.

CHARLES H. HONESS. OPTOMETRIST and OPTICIAN 54 Patton Ave. Opp. Post lofllce : (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) DRINK AND CRUELTY. Medical science telle us that an Im perfect nervous system Is often the cause of the tendency to cruelty some times seen In young children that If a child shows a disposition to torture animals or abuse other children It does not follow that the boy or girl is a degenerate; It may be due to the presence of toxin In the blood. The well-known tendency to cruelty on the part 'of those addicted to the exces sive nse of Intoxicants, Dears out this statement. Men, who In sober mo ments are tender husbands and fa thers, becofne transformed by strong drink into savages and fiends. Even the more "temperate" use of liquor tends to dull the sensibilities aid be cloud the finer Instincts. The toxin In the blood of a moderate drinker, while not always causing a noticeable degeneracy In the man himself, is transmitted to his offspring, and In the third or fourth generation, if not before, Is manifested in the "cruel tendencies" of children that excite our wonder. RUINING A VESTED INTEREST. Collier's Weekly, which with com mendable frequency gives the liquor traffic an editorial stab, recently an swered as follows the saloonlst's claim that to destroy the saloon is to destroy a vested interest: ! "Every generation raises Its crop of fine old crusted Tories some of them In the humbler walks of life. And atj all times they oppose light even asi they once tried to resist lighting what Longfellow called the 'street lamps of the ocean.' The instance we have in mind Is noted in Emerson's Jour nal. Sixty years ago the philosopher visited Kauset, on Cape Cod. 'Collins, the keeper, told us he found resistance 'on Cape Cod to the project of building a lighthouse on this coast, as it would Injure the wrecking business.' Did you ever stop to think that our lighthouses have utterly ruined what used to be s vested interest?" DISAPPROVAL OF LIQUOR. The American Sheet and Tin Plate company of Vandergrift, Pa., which Is a subsidiary concern of the United States Steel corporation, has placed the stamp of disapproval on ltqnor and drinking by notifying all employes that they must withdraw from frater nal organizations and clubs which maintain sideboards, or cease to work In the company's plants. They are also prohibited from Indorsing liquor license applications. This order, it Is said, not only af fects the 6,000 employes at the Leech- burg, Hyde Park, New Kensington and Vandergrift plants, but all the plants of the company throughout the coun try. AGAINST ALCOHOL. Dr. C. W. Saleeby, the distinguished English physician and writer on eu genics, concludes his little book on "The Methods of Race Generation with this remarkable sentenoe: "In the light of truth and the verdict of science It cannot he questioned that he who at this date Is for alcohol Is against civilization, and whatever ideals of Justice and freedom and good ness we would transmit to the future. To all and sundry I say: Would yon befriend men, women and children? Go protect parenthood from alcohol; and fear not that kind of laughter which Is as ths crackling of thorns under a pot" STICKS t6 TEMPERANCE. A German spoke at a temperance meeting as follows: "I shall tell yon how It vat. I put my hand on my head; there vas one big pain. Then I put my hand on ray pody and there was another. Then I put my hand In my pocket and there vas nothing. Now there la no more pain In de head. Do pains In my pody are all gone tray. I put my hand In my pocket and there Ish twenty tollars. 80 I stay mlt do temperance." i-Pavilion Hotel- And Cottages SHARON SPRINGS, Jf. Tl.
