.
fclAIM
'" 1 By tho Associated Press
Chicago, Aprtl 0. Use of union strike
Jafecra to put down the unauthorized
JwYkout of members of the recently
termed Chicago Yardmen's Associatl6n
'ield forth a promise of restoration of
iiearly normal freight traffic to and
Shroueh Chicago by Saturday, rcpre-
lienJfltivps of the eighteen railroads
(Cetcd by the strike and the IJrother
oAJ of Trainmen nnd the Switchmen's
;UHion of North America said early
,9oday.
f Tho two major unions have joined
With the railroad managers in declar
ing the strike Illegal and it was through
efforts of the grand lodge officers that
from 400 tn TiOO vurdmeu in other cities
'.Xi-brkcd In the Chicago district last
tight. They said nn additional BOO to
'600 union men would arrive today to
.help straighten out the tangled traffic
problems caused by the strike and the
jrtcord Easter snowfall.
i Cleveland, April . (By A. P.)
W. G. Lee. president of the Brother
hood of Hallway Trainmen, today issued
tho following statement regarding the
jsmploymont of brotherhood members as
nnlon strikebreakers in the Chicago
hwitehmen's strike:
"Regardless of reports issued by
iohn Grunau, leader of the strike of
wltchmen at Chicago, such strike is
illegal and members of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, nnd others, will
be fully protected in accepting positions
asswltchmcn or switch tenders made
acant by such illegal strike.
"Tho brotherhood will co-operate to
the fullest extent with operating officers
Of the railroads and with the govern -tent
in performing the usual and regu
lar, work covered by contracts made by
tho authorized committees of the
lwMiirhnniI.
"The question of increased wages had
nothing to do with the present trouble,
but the removal of John Grunau from a
position as yard conductor, was the
causo of a few switchmen in the Chi
cago,' Milwaukee and St. Paul Kailroad
Yard, who were members of a renegade
organization headed by Gruunu, quit
ting work. The question of increased
Stages was later injected for the pur
pose of playing upon the sympathies of
thertrninmen nnd yardmen, who natu
rally feel that the federal railroad nd
tointstratinu did not grant fair and
equitable wages during government con
trol. "Vice Presidents Whitney and Karqu
harsou, of the Brotherhood of Train
pien, arc on the ground nnd have full
charge of the situation and all loyal
teembcrs of the brotherhood who believe
n protecting agreements made by their
Organization and who believe "in law and
erder should willingly assist in making
good the terms of our present contracts
with railroad companies, especially since
the question of increased wages for
trainmen and yard euginemen is being
prepared for presentation to the federal
labor board at Washington, recently
created by law." 1

IVE the driver a chance, and
he will take arty amount of
trouble to find put a better
way of handling his truck.
Men drive all day, and then come
long distances night after night to the
Packard Service Conference. The
class is always full. There is a long
waiting list ahead.
It is unfortunate; that the average
driver'js efforts to keep his costs down
are so often thwarted by the truck he
is given to work with.
THE following National Standard
Truck Cost System facts on the
performance of over 1700 Packard
Trucks in 1919 have a vityl. signifi
cance for the truck user.
An average saving fn gasoline of
10 per cent. due to greater efficiency
in operation with the aid of the
National Standard System.
The National Standard System
used in connection with Packard
Trucks has shown it possible to re
duce cost per ton mile.
Truck owners who have used the
System for a year -or more, and have
compared ,the Packard with other
trucks, are standardizing on Pack
ard. The driver finds the Packard easier
all around to handle.
Less vibration; because of the
smooth-running Packard engine, the
construction of the worm drive, and
the placing of 85 to 95 per cent, of the
live load on the rear axle.
Less strain at the wheel, owing to
the Packard semi-irreversible steer
ing gear.
Easier handling on the hills, owing
to Packard high tractive force on the
road; and four-speed transmission
graded up by even steps.
Easier to keep clean. Engine en
closed, and lubricated automatically.
Fly wheel and clutch shut off from
dustrand mud.
THE man who is in doubt what
make of truck to buy might
well ask his driver's advice.
It may surprise him to learn the
positive Packard opinion among men
who judge a truck solely by what
it will do

Howtye "
did our
Home
over for
less than
$100.
You know
.that sprlnz
feeling of being
.sick of cvptv
rooni'ln the house. After living sjmt
y uii winter, me wallpaper seems
dingy, tho rugs ugly and every piece
of furniture looks, like somcthlnir
from tlie 2oo. I ' '
Along dbout dandelion time, I ai
waya begin to shift tn'lngs about, but
the more I move them tho worse they
Bccm.
Thls'ycor I was In despair. I made
up my mind wo would have to rcpaper
and repaint, and buy a lot of new
draperies, furniture and rugs. So I
sent for tho painter and the paper
hanger. But when I got their cstl
mates, I just had to He down and
rest. Then I made a tour of the
stores, nnd oh! the lovely things I ,
saw. And oh I the lovely prices.
At last one evening I handed to
my husband a list of. things I thought
wo needed, and tho cost. Ho took
one look at it, then at me, and we
both just burst out laughing.
"What do you think I am," he said,
"a munition worker?" .
Then camo the reaction and we
wero both as glum as we could be. He
sat with his eyes on the' ceiling, and
all of a, sudden he said:
"Gee, how I hate that old chande
lierl" "Me, too," I replied, "but when we
bought it, we thought it. was exqui
site." IID .. T 1
ho said, "that
reminds mc.
Coming out on
the car one day
I overheard ai.
architect talking
to his client. He
was saying
something like
this: "The trou
ble with half the
homes in this
city is that the
lighting effect is
wrong. People
buy fixtures be
cause tKey think
they arepretty, instead of buying
lighting effects. Oftentimes, by
simply changing the distribution of
light, I have shown people how to
save, hundreds of 'dollars that they
were intending to spend on re-decorating
.or on new 'furnishings. You
scc'the bid fashioned kind of lighting
made a glare around the chandelier,
and left great chunks, of gloom along
the walls and floor. The new idea in
lighting i? to get plenty of light In
all parts of the room, without too
much anywhere. This -new system,
called the Dunlcxalite, does that. It
has made'ii possible for the first time
to use in me numc uiu muzuu u
lamp, which is the most efficient and
economical lamp yet discovered.'
'SAnd then he went on to tell how it
was made. ,It seems that most of the
light rays go to .the ceiling and are
then deflected to all parts of the room,
giving a soft radiance that makes
every object in tho room look its
best, while other rays go directly
downward through a glass disc, giv
ing an increased intensity for read
ing or working."
To cut a. long story short, my
husband' made some inquiries the
very next day. He found that Duplex
alites had Itng been used in several
of our leading retail stores nnd in the
best hotels and were even going to be
installed in his own offlcc. He also
found that in the home they could be
used with beautiful shades of silk,
cretonne or parchments and so can be
made to harmonize with any decora
tive scheme in any room, no matter
how elaborate or how simple.
And when we found that an, elec
irlrlnn could nut up four or five Du-
plexalitcs in an hour, that settled it.
"The upshot of it is that for less
than $1Q0 we have succeeded In
actually doing our home over, with
out rcpapcring or repainting a single
room, or buying n stick of furniture
just by changing the lighting. And,
as they say in tho movies, "You
wouldn't know'the old place now."
