WRITE HOME FROM
MISSION STATION
Some Harrisburgers in China
Give Interesting Accounts
of Their Doings
Sirs. Helen Carruthers Poteat, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Car
ruthers, of 1350 State street who is
working at the Peking Station in
China, writes of the dust storms, of the
remarkable wistaria and of dairying
in the Dragon Kingdom. Mrs. Poteat
tells of the rapid stride and remark
able ability the Chinese have mani
fested in athletics. A few excerpts fol
low:
"There was a terrible dust storm
Saturday when the sky was dark like
a cloudy day came up all of a sud
den and blew at a terrific rate. Sun
day the air was as clean as if there
had been a refreshing rain. I sup
pose the dust had the same effect in
cleaning the atmosphere but it took
it out in the shape of scouring instead
of washing. There is an epidemic of
measles, etc., scattered about the city
and makes one anxious for rain.
"We were invited to a town 14 miles
from here, Tungchow, to Dr. Arthur
Smith's college. Dr. Smith, as you
know, wrote all those books on China
—'Chinese Characteristics," etc. They
have the oldest student Y. M. C. A.
there in China. The college is in the
country. They have many acres of
beautiful land planted with many
trees, willow, locust, poplar and ash.
The land is covered with green alfalfa
except around the houses of the mis
sionaries. These are enclosed with fir
hedges, the large yards planted with
rose hedges, shrubs, a large vegetable
garden with plenty of strawberries
a real luxury. The houses are of gray
brick. Four out of seven had perfect
wistaria vines covering the whole
front —a mass of the most beautiful
wistaria I ever saw —I don't believe it
grows so thick at home.
Chinese Conduct Dairies
"One of the most interesting spots
in Tungchow is the dairy conducted on
American principles with American
cows. The Chinese don't drink milk
and, so use what cows they have for
work, consequently the art of giving
milk is not in their line. The owner
had 30 or 40 cows, some from Siberia
—these were smaller than the Amer
ican variety, but six that had come
all the way from America at great
expense, Holsteins, were what you call
cows
Participate in Track Meet
Gordon Potcat writes of an interest
ing track at which he and Donald
Carruthers were judges. A few rec
ords approach some of those of the
American colleges.
"They had a great track meet on
Saturday lasting all day despite the
terrific dust storm that arose in the
afternoon and made it at times im
possible to see the runners as they
encircled the track. Tsing Hua and
tlie Peking Methodist University were
the other contestants. It Is a new
China where those who read books as
the scholars are sometimes called are
out in their running suits doing the
half-mile or the discus throw or the
pole vault instead of lolling in the
house or being conducted by servants
in a cart to friends for a call. Nine
teen feet, eleven and one-half inches
in the running broad, nearly ten feet
in the pole vault, 10 seconds and a
fraction in the hundred is pretty good
for Chinese schoolboys isn't it? They
had their banners and their cheers
and college songs, boys to rub the win
ners down with oil and catch them in
blankets at the end of the race, a silver
trophy cup and medals for places in
the events. Scratch the skin and we
all bleed and blood is the same color
all the world around."
FULL CREW LAW

test case, having attracted much at
tention.
In another case the Pennsylvania is
required to provide a wider platform
on the rear car of a mail train, being
held to have violated the section of
the law in this respect, Two com
plaints are dismissed, one being a con
tention that a sixth man should be
on a train consisting pt three coaches
and a combination car and the other
that a train of two cars should have
an extra man. The latter complaint
was against the Cumberland Valley
railroad.
The decision In the baggage car
case brought by Milton T. Robinson,
of this city, for the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, was written by
Chairman Ainey. It was found that
baggage was placed in the baggage
end of a combination car by station

employes and locked, being unlocked
at the next stop and baggage re
moved by station employes. Mr.
Aine.v refuses to sustain the conten
tion that sleeping and parlor cars are
not to be considered as passenger
coaches and that the legislature did
not intend to compel employment of
baggage men on trains where no ser
vice could be rendered or required of
them. He points out that the train
carried passengers in each of the
sleepers and asserts "These are pas
senger coaches within the meaning of
the act."
"To narrow the meaning of the
word 'coach,' " says the opinion, "to
a particular kind of car carrying pas
sengers would be to defeat the legis
lative intent. Metynomic expressions
have enriched the Knglish diction and
we may not limit their present mean
ing by derivative considerations."
It is declared that the running of
the train without a baggage man is
held to be a violation of the act and
the company is directed to place such
an employe on the train. The opin
ion also says "It is true the full crew
law provides penalties for past viola
tions, which the authorized judicial
tribunal may impose. The duty to en
force a law looks also to the future
by requiring observance."
The opinion in the mail car case is
also by Mr. Ainey, who holds that
the provision of the act relative to the
equipment of rear ends of mail cars
is not in conflict with "any regulation
of the postal service prescribed in pur
suance of authority granted by Con
gress." It is held that the require
ments of the full crew law can be
met "not by changing the form of con
struction of mail cars, but by select
ing a particular type of car for rear
end train service." Mr. Ainey says
that if there is conflict between state
and federal laws the commission must
be guided by judicial utterances, but
in its absence the commission must
follow the act. This complaint was
made by S. R. Tarner, of Pittsburgh,
for the Trainmen and Conductors' or
ganization.
In the Cumberland Valley case it
was charged that the company oper
ated a train on the Waynefeboro
branch with five men, but it is found
that it comes under the provision that
the act shall not affect a train of three
cars or less. H. M. Futz brought this
case.
In the fourth case, which was
brought by the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen as an organization, the
other cases being brought by lodges
or Individual members. Commissioner
Rilling dismisses a complaint that a
train of three coaches and a combina
tion car was operated with five men.
The complainant charged that six
men should be employed. Mr. Rilling
says: "Should we adopt the conten

The perfume of flowers disappears

exhausted, and it may be restored bj
placing the flowers in a solution o:
sugar when the formation of starch

To remove grease spots on carp©
or matting, cover with French chali

the benzine to evaporate, then brush
off the chalk. If the stain has nol

Paint stains on floors may be scour
ed off by soaking them for a littW
while in turpentine or benzine, an<
then rubbing them with pumice ston«
