SATURDAY EVENING, GIVE VETERAN BIG SURPRISE Frederick Rudy Receives Gift From Freighthouse Employes FREDERICK RUDY It has been a habit lately to call back men who have been placed on the honor roll of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They are not always want ed for duty, however, but Just to be on hand for a big surprise. This was the case to-day of Frederick Rudy, 216 North Fifteenth street, a veteran warehouseman. Mr. Rudy, who was numbered with the forces of J. H. Nixon, local freight agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad, enters upon his new career on July 1. To-day he was sent for and given the surprise of his life. He was told of his good record by James B. Kautz Jr.. chief clerk, and presented with a purse containing twenty dollars. In his remarks Mr. Kautz told of the veteran's career and said in part: Popular Veteran "We again gather here to offer tribute to one of our force—Mr. Fred erick Rudy, who has ended his labors at this station, having attained the age of seventy years, is retired Trom active service and placed on the pen sion roll. "Mr. Rudy has served this company for a period of thirty years. His employment dates back to April 12, 1887, as warehouseman. With his name added to the rolls, we have a total of ten pensioners in this depart ment, all of whom are living and en joying good health. Some of them are here to-day. "Mr. Rudy, every employe in this department extends to you hearty greetings and best wishes for a long and happy life. The presence of so many here is indicative of the esteem with which you are held. We have all enjoyed your friendship and ap preciate the assistance you so often rendered in various ways. "We are mindful of the willing spirit you have always displayed and the amiable nature which you possess endears you to your co-workers. In the various capacities which you la bored you performed faithful, effi cient and satisfactory service, always at your post of duty, loyal to every summons and obeying all commands. Your record with this company is one to be proud of and the placement of your name on their Roll or Honor is distinctive, as it gives you another title of "veteran"—the first one being ob tained on your return from the bat tlefront in defense of our country during the Civil War. "To adequately express our affec tions and to further show the esteem I with which you are held by your fel low employes, I take pleasure in pre senting to you in their behalf this gift as a token of friendship. "May it always remind you of our happy associations and during the years to come recall pleasant memo ries of the Harrisburg Freight Sta tion." Mr. Rudy responded, expressing re grets for losing so many good com panions. He thanked his friends and said he would always remember with pleasure his active career with the Pennsy.

The new Reading engines recently ordered from the Baldwin Locomo tive plant will be delivered early in October. R. V. Massey, recently appointed general superintendent of the East ern divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad with headquarters at Al toona, assumed his new duties to day. Some of the special laborers on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad drew an average of SBO per month last pay day under the new bonus system. These ruen were re cently increased to 22 cAits an hour in addition to a bonus for work per formed, thus creating a system whereby men are paid for their act ual labors. Preparations are being made by the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company to pay the train men the money due them according to the Adamson law. The rolls are now being made up and it is un derstood that the payments will be made the latter part of this month. The amounts due the men will range from a few dollars up to SIOO.

DiNNennion | n Spain The exact part which the issues of the war play in the Spanish crisis is difficult to determine. The masses of the people have been generally cred ited with being- strongly pro-ally in sentiment while the aristocracy leaned toward the side of Germany. At the same time the demand for internal reform and other domestic questions has apparently had a leading role in the growng unrest. No new developments have occurred in the Greek situation but the trium phant return to Athens of Venizelos is predicted in Kngland, a step almost certain to be followed by the definite alignment of Greece on the side of the entente. The violence of German comment on the abdication of King Constantine shows how strongly the disappearance of the Kaiser s Yoval ally has affected Berlin. Pennsy Joins in Move to Help All Shipments As part of the campaign to bring about more efficient use of the carry ing capacity of freight cars, the trans portation department of the Pennsyl vania Railroad is distributing, through station agents on all portions of its lines, copies of the special circular, relating to this subject, issued by the Lnited States Department of Agricul ture. The circular will be placed in the hands of farmers, truckers, gruit growers, shippers, consignees, brok ers. buyers. Boards of Trade, Cham bers of Commerce, Merchants' Associa tions and other commercial organiza tions throughout the territory cover ed by the railroad and its principal connections. The Department of Agriculture, in the circular, urges the pooling and consolidation of shipments, in order to make up full carloads. The neces sity of loading and unloading prompt ly is also dwelt upon. Practical meth ods are pointed out by which perish able farm products may be shipped in quantities sufficient to utilize the full carrying capacity of cars without in juring the contents. I Smith.

Carty, chief engineer of the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company, is ranking officer of the signal reserve corps, as senior major. The United States Signal Corps is now organized to comprise a number of "wire companies," "radio compa nies" and "telegraph companies." The wire companies provide lines for large tactical operations, their object being to keep up with a column mov ing Into hostile territory and to leave a trail of wire communication. Radio companies are also used in tactical operations, accompanying the wire companies. The function of the tele graph companies is to establish and maintain lines and wire communica tion between field forces and their base, and also between the various bases and the general headquarters or the seat of government, or both. The use of the word "telegraph" is determined largely by the fact that | that instrument, as a means of army communication, was used quite ex clusively at the time the existing army regulations were adopted. How ever, the conditions have so changed that the telephone has virtually re placed the other instruments, and therefore, what are telegraph com panies in the signal corps are units skilled in telephone construction as well as telegraph.

PAY SSOO MORE AND GET A QUALITY CAR. $1350 BUYS A CHALMERS. In going over our records a few days ago we found that 80 per cent of the men who had bought Chalmers cars this year previously owned "one year" cars. Please pardon us for using a technical term such as "one year" cars. It is a name that has grown up among automobile salesmen and service men. It means, briefly, a car that looks well when new, runs well when new, but peters out towards the end of its first year. 10,000 miles is long life for the "o'.ie year" car. Chalmers has never sought the "one year" car tx*ade. Chalmers has always sought the quality trade. Perhaps that fact explains our sales records. It evidently shows a rather decided tendency towards a better car, and we feel compli mented naturally, that the trend is toward Chalmers. Our advice, could we only get hold of those who are buying their first car, would be to pay SSOO more and get quality. For what is worse than a cheap pair of shoes, a cheap hat, cheap food or cheap jewelry ?i Quality you never forget. By the way, have you ever sat behind the wheel of a Chalmers? A 5 OR 7.

Notice of the board's rul ing has been sent to all railroads. In December the rate was In creased from 45 to 75 cents to com pel railroads to return each other's cars. Before that time new car service rules requiring railroads to return cars to their owners were in effect. New rules now in force, how ever, permit wider latitude In the matter. Hair Made eßautiful Wavy While You Sleep! Just think, girls! You apply a lit tle liquid silmerine at bedtime and in the morning your hair has a prettier wave and curl than probably it has ever had. The waviness looks per | Octly natural, and the hair is sleek and glossy like plush. It will remain In curl the longest time, regardless of heat, wind or moisture, and you won't have to be continually fussing wnh loose strands or flying ends. Liquid silmerine is of course en tirely harmless. It leaves no sticky, greasy or streaky trace. It has the peculiar quality of drying in beautiful waves, creases and swirls. It is also an excellent dressing for the hair, keeping it delightfully soft and silky. A few ounces from your druggist will last for weeks. It is best applied with a clean tooth brush, drawing this down the full length of the hair. —Adv.
