Philadelphia. Jan. 14.—A triple
investigation is under way to fix the
responsibility for the wreck at Fort
Washington last night, in which
eleveh persons were killed and eight
een injured. The Scranton flyer
crashed into the rear end of the
Doylestown local, seventeen miles
from Philadelphia.
Ron* Past Danger Signal
The engineman of the express. |
passengers declare, ran past a dan
ger signal set to guard the halted ac
commodation. The local was sta
tionary about three-quarters of a
mile east of Fort Washington sta
tion. A brakeman was posted 100
yards behind the local as a further
protection.
The engine of the express ripped
through the wooden coach at the'
rear of the local. All the killed and !
injured were in this car. Hot coal
front the engine's firebox set fire
to the splintered wood work of the j
passenger car. Wind fanned the j
flames into a fierce blaze and the;
victims, penned in debris, were res
cued with difficulty. Escaping steam
added to the suffering of the victims.
Three Inquiries in Progress
Reading officials are directing one
of the inquiries into the cause of the
wreck. Already they have quizzed 1
trainmen. The second investigation
is in cßarge of Coroner Neville, of ;
Montgomery. The third is directed j
by John P. Dohoney, of the Pcnnsyl- ;
vania Public Service Commission.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff
The only BUre way to get rid of;
dandruff is to dissolve it. then you '
destroy it entirely. To do this, get J
about four ounces of ordinary liquid ;
arvon; apply it at night when retir- \
ing: use enough to moisten the scalp i
and rub it in gently with the finger :
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning, i
most if not all, of your dandruff will !
be gone, and three or four more ap-!
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching |
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a~hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at a'nv
drug store. It is Inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.
The Busy
Coal Season
A HEAVY snowfall with the mercury dis
appearing from the bottom of the ther
mometer brings customers flocking for their
supply of fuel.
Then it is that coal dealers have need t>f
large facilities. When coalbins are nearly
empty you want your order filled quickly.
Our business has been built with a view
of taking care of rush orders. Our three

"BOOKS AND MAGAZINES']
Stories of Greece and Rome. —
Edward Lucas White, whose vividly
realistic story of ancient Rome, "The
Unwilling Vestal," was published last
spring by E. P. Dutton & Co., has
made a collection of his short stor
ies dealing with life in Greece and
Rome during the centuries just be
fore and just after the Christian era
which the Duttons will bring out
in book form about the middle of
January. Mr. White, who has been
a student and teacher of the classic
literatures and of the civilizations
which produced them, is quite as i
familiar with the life and times and
characteristics of the men and wo
men who made "the glory that was
Greece and the grandeur that was!
Rome." as the novelist of current
times is with the life of to-day. and
he has a peculiar facility for malt- •,
ing those far-gone days come gra- j
phlcally alive again. % Tlie same gift I
won very wide reading for his his- j
torical romance, which was also one J
of the most realistic of novels. "El j
Supremo," published by E. P. Dut- j
ton & Co. two years ago, which gave
a picture of life in South America •
a hundred years ago combined with
| a complicated story of intrigues and |
| ambitions, dangers and adventures ,
! and love-making.
Antomobllc Liability. —"lf you of
; fer your car and chauffeur for the
free use of another," says John A.
Post in his little book, "Automobile
Liability and How to Deal With It,"
just published by E. P. Dutton &
Co., basing Ills opinions upon court
decisions in various states, "you re
main responsible; but if one borrows
' your car he operates it at his own
: risk. In all cases where the owner
! has reason to know that he is en
trusting his car, to operate, to some
one who is incompetent to do so
| without danger to the public, he is
responsible. Also, if he undertakes
to teach another to drive his car,
1 he takes the risk, but probaly not if
the pupil owns the car unless it is
pursuant to some contract of selling.
When your chauffeur is operating
the car in the course of his employ
ment, partly or wholly, you are re
sponsile as though you were so do
ing. But if at the time he was sole
ly proceeding upon his own private
' business with or without your con
sent you would not be liable."
! One of the famous authors of
South America will be presented to
j American readers within two or
| three weeks by E. P. Dutton & Co. i
I who are preparing to publish Jose
j MarmoVs historical novel, "Anialia."
j Marmol was an Argentine whose
1 span of life covered the years from
! 1818 to 1871. He was not only a
. poet, dramatist and novelist, but a
i statesman and patriot also. As a
j deputy representing Buenos Aires
i he defied the despot, Rosas, and was
banished by him. Later he retutn
j ed add stoutly upheld the rights of
i the people. As an author he is most
widely known, both in his own and
other countries, by "Amalia," which
has long been familiar to European
readers in several languages and is
considered to be one of the best
productions in all South American
literature.

LABOR XOTES
Lumber workers in Bend, Ore.,
receive better wages and have bet
ter conditions to work under than
in any other of the yellowpine dis
tricts. This result has been brought
about by the strong organization
among the men.
A large sugar company in Port
au Prince, Haiti, which employs
over 1.500 laborers, besides skilled '
labor, had expended more than $2,- !
000,000 in erecting an extensive
plant, providing buildings for the
employes.
The Japanese government has de
cided to place the development of
the Chinling-chen iron mines in the
hands of the mining department of
the Shantung Railway instead of
concluding a contract for this pur
pose with a private concern.
The Swedish Industrial Commit
tee's Bureau of Fats has organized
the gathering of refuse fats for
making coap. Hospitals, barracks
and prisons make their own soap,
while the rest of the fats are sent
to the soap factories for treatment.
Over 23,000 employes of the Gen
eral Electric Company's plant at
Schenectady, X. Y., and 3,500 of the
5,000 employed in the Pittsfield
(Mass.) plant recently left their
work in sympathy with a strike of
their co-workers in the Erie (Pa.)
plant.
Trade councils composed of rep
resentatives of employers' associa
tions and of trade unions in a par
ticular trade or section of an indus

of appeal in the case of disputes
which may arise among workers in
England.
Abolition of the national eight
hour day and the lowering of war
time wage, scales are essential if
American mines and factories are to
continue to compete with the world
trade, according to William H. Barr,
of Buffalo, president of the National
Founders' Association.
At a recent conference held in
Bradford. England, there was grant
ed an increase in wage of employes
in the dyeing and finishing trades
from 15.58 to $7.14 in the case of
time workers, from 65 1-2 per cent,
to 88% per cent, for piece workers
and from 50 to 62% per cent for
pressers.

American soldiers have won praise
for bravery and fortitude under all
circumstances. This photograph,
Just released by the censor, shows
troops on the deck of a transport
which has just been torpedoed. They
then tell the men if they want more
money they will have to work more
hours; thus, 10 hours at 11 hours'
pay will then equal about eight
hours' pay, and in this way the
eight-hour law is being killed in
that city.

It was necessary for all classes of

While tho Amalgamated Society
of Engineers of Great Britain dees
not admit women to Its membership,
it has since the early days of the
war had an informal alliance with
the National Federation of Women
