RAILROADS URGED TO ADOPT GREATER EFFICIENCY PLANS Roadmasters of Country Want Motor-driven Ma chinery to Supplant Old Hand Methods Say Sav ing Will Be Large. Larger application by tho railroads of the country of scientific efllclency prin ciples In their equipment departments Is being strongly urged by tho Roadmasters" and Maintenance of Way Association of America. Statistics cnraplled by tho association show that whlia tho weight of tracks used by railroads throughout the United States has Increased but 37 per cent, in the last 20 years, the unit load hauled over tho tracks has In some cases Increased more than 300 per cent. Increase In tho weight of track has necessarily called for the employment of more men to care for tho track under the heavy loads which It Is required to carry. Tho association recommends that motor driven machinery nnd tools bo used by tho taiiroaas so mat a lnrger amount of ground can be covered and better care given the maintenance of tracks. Toward the Inbreuso In efllclency, use of section motorenrs Is considered an Im portant part. It is pointed out that where motor driven machinery Is used It will result in n saving of 2 cents a mile, tho cost of fuel to tho motorcars, repairs, de preciation and wear of car and tlmo ot the men. In view of this It Is recom mended by a committee reporting to tho association that motor driven cars be used Instead of handcars. Annual convention of the AmeHran Railway Bridge and Building Association will he held In Los 'Angeles October "0. 21 and 23. Preliminary hearing on proposed changes for the next classification Issue will bo held In Now York tomorrow by the olllclal classification committee.

He declared tho war was the outcome of material am bitions, and ndded that 20 centuries of Christianity have failed to soften tho heartB of men and have not Inspired them to other than material strivings. Dr. Krauskopf spoke in part as fol lows: "In all the official statements that tho belligerent nations advance as Justifiable causes for tho war there Is not a single worthy object, not a noble Ideal worth the shedding of a slnglo man's blood.

Everybody knows that millions ot men nro lined up to kill each other; that tho civilization which Europe lias been slowly building up since tho dark ages has been thrown to the winds, and that the sit uation Is too big to cither write or talk about Intelligently. It will take 100 years for history books to give the news. The answer Is: One little lead bullet from a revolver In tho hands of a Ser vian high-school boy. And this bullet probably would nover nave been fired If an ordinary chauffeur had not lost his way In a little town in Bosnia. One little twist of a chauffeur's wrist, as he turned nn automobile Into a side street, when ho should havo remained on tho main roft; ono little twitch of tho right index finger on tho trigger of a revolver In the hands of a high-school boy-they started this war In Europe.

WOMEN ASK FOR BALLOT Church Members May Be Ennobled To Vote for Trustees. Women members of the nrideiburg Methodist Episcopal Church will be en abled to vote for trustees of the church If a petition presented to Court of Com- mon Pleas No. 5 is granted. The petitioners seek an amendment to the charter striking out the word male from the clause relating to the election of trustees. It Is also provided In the petition that meetings of the trustees be held at the church and not at such places as they may appoint It is further suggested that a clause be Inserted em powering the trustees to sell or mortgage real estate of the corporation. The Impression ..has gained urroncy, becauso of the popularity of the auto mobile, that carriages are 110 longer manufactured In very great quantities. Yet the committee on statistics at the convention of the Carriage Builders' National Association, which meets in Atlantic City, N. J., September 2Sth to October Id, will show that considerably over ono million horse-drawn vehicles were built In this country last year. Large as Is this figure. It does not In clude business, farm or trucking wagons, but takes nccount only of suoli vehicles as tho buggy, surrey, nnd other light carriages. Statistics show that there were made on an average of a million to a million and a quarter horse-drawn spring ve hicles each year for eight years prior to January 1, 191b, and during the yenr 1913 tho number exceeded 1.200,000. These figures, which are partly duo to tho in crease In population, naturally Inspire conlldence In the present and the futuro of the carriage and wagon Industry. It Is fulr to assume that tint vehicle product of 1913 was sold for more than JiiO.OOO.CHiO. A minimum of 3o,tn 1,1100 Is Invested In carrlnge factories In this country, to say nothing of the enormous capital Involved In the wiigon business, while the investment In manufacturing establishments making materials and parts exclusively for horse-drawn ve hicles Is probably ns much more. The coming Atlantic City convention Is the 42d to be held by the vehicle men's organization, which was Instituted In 1S72. making it one of the very oldest trade bodies In America. Tho associa tion docs not fix prices nor lake any action In labor matters; Its functions aro mainly directed to the uplift and advancement of tho Industry, and to the promotion of a friendly spirit among Its members. The Carrlngo Uuilders' National Asso elation has been favored In past years, at their conventions with tho presence of n number of prominent mon, who, al though not In the vehicle business, never theless were phased to address the car riage builders on subjects of Interest to them. Among. these men have been the late President McKinley, lleneral Wil liam Tecumbeh Sherman. Oliver Wen dell Holmes, the poet, and others of almost equal fame. Thi3 year, Hon. John narrett, director of the Pan-Ameri can I'nlon at Washington, und formerly United States Minister to several South American countries, will address the us rsoclatlon. In connection with the convention there will bo held an extensive exhibition of (ill materials, parts ad machinery used In vehicle building, which will bring to the attention of the 120u delegates all that la new In these lines. There Is much room for optimism In the carriage buslnesn and It will be a contented and, enthusiastic gathering of prosperous manufacturers that will crowl the Million Uollar Pier at Atlantic City during the last week In teptenibr.

It nlso killed the peace of Kurope, but the Kings nnd czars and emperors ot Kurope don't know It yet. All of them feel sorry for thn little children who nre left orphans In the palace at Vienna. Emperor Wil liam of Germany and his wife telegraph to the little children, "We can scarcly find words to express to you children how our hearts bleed. To havo spent such happy hours with you and your parents only two weeks ago and now to think that you are plunged Into this Im measurable sorrow." The Emperor didn't know then that a million times four children probably would be plunged Into Immeasurable grief before the effect of the flight of thut one lead bullet had died away. WOMAN BEGS FOR TEETH BEING HELD AS EVIDENCE Can't "Walt Until Men Are Tried for Alleged Theft. CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 2l.-Sotip as a steady diet palls on Mrs. Minnie Wer ner. A good, thick beefsteak, celery, corn on tho cob and such substantial viands would make a welcome change. Mrs. , Werner's appetite Is all that she could wish, and she makes a comfort able living from her store at C103 South Stato street; yet she has been oblged to subsist on Invalid's diet for four months. The secret Is that Mrs. Werner has no teeth. She had teeth once, but tho State's Attorney has them now as an exhibit A against two men Under indict ment for burglary. Mrs. Werner, how over, would rather turn till the thieves In Illinois loose than go without a real meal much longer. Tho teeth were stolen from Edward O. Brown, of 610S South Stnte street, whore Mrs. Werner left them to bo repaired. Walter I'olaskl and Frank Duraskl were arrested as tho burglars and the loot was recovered. It was nil turned over to the State's attorney, and yesterday tho men were Indicted for burglary. When Mrs. Werner learned of the In dictment she went to Captain John Smith, at Englfwoud station. "I've been patient long enough," she declared. "1 want my teeth, and I want them before I stnrve to d-ath." The Captain pondered. "Will you promise to exhibit them at the trial?" ho asked. "I would promise anything to got my teeth back." Mrs. Werner assured hltn. "Then I will get them frim the State's Attorney tomorrow.'' he said. Today Mrs. Werner will dine. DEEP-BREATHING HABIT WARDS OFF FALL COLDS Oxygen Life-giving Draughts of Flush Lung Cells. The Importance of deep breathing can not possibly be overestimated Once tho regular habit Is formed, the taking of deep life-giving .draughts of air far Into the lungs becomes automatic, and the greatest benefit will accrue to the wise person who forms this sensible habit. Fresh air Hushes the lung cella Just as water performs a like function ex ternally. The poisonous gases which linger aro driven out. and the blood draws ita heat nnd life from a far greater surface than Is available when the lungs perform but half of their function. Now In the falltlme colds and coughs are generally rnnipant. But deep breath ing will so fortify the syBtcm that those ailments will meet with a resistance which will effectually ward them off. Cul tivate this habit then Immediately If ycu would pass a happy nnd healthful winter.
