. ENGLAND SYSTEMATIZING RAILWAYS—
England’s railway problem scems similar to our
~own and its government is taking steps to put in
- to operation a system of four divisions of its rail
. ways along the same lines as proposed in A{ficrua
~in the Transportation act of 1920. A recent cable
from London states that the railways of the Brit
-Ish isles will be reorganized ilwqfifilr divisions,
and the railroads in these divisions‘are to be amal
. gamated into one great group in each division, the
larger railways in each group being the neuclus
around which the systems will be organized and
~upon the total values, stock will be issued in the
rew organization in exchange for the shares held
mn the older and lesser organizations. In a great
measure it is a copy of our own law authorizing
the consolidation of the American railwavs into
nincteen divisions and for which the Tnterstate
Commerce Commission has taken the first step to
establich over here.
Such consolidation of our railwavs will elimi
nate wasteful practices in use by all of the compan
ies. 1t is just possible that both of these acts, the
American and Brithish, were inspired by the same
financial influences, as most of the railway secur
ities of both countries are probable owned by re
lated syndicates and under the new plan it is reas
onable to expect greater cconomy of operation and
a consequent reduction in operating expenses,
which would cnable a proportionate reduction of
tremght and passenger rates, for which now an ef
fert is being made in Washington, That the con
solidations will be made, of this there seems 1o
doubt, and when made we expect locally to share
in its benefits.
CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION- It is appar
ent that the City Board of Education will have to
change its ways with the new year, as the ep
trance of a lady member will necessitate their
meetings to he cut shorter. Friday night the
board staved in session to 12 o'clock and even then
some business unattended too, Supt. Benneti's
first nrp‘url for the year was read by him and its
minute details pave the Board a full review of the
work of the teachers in cach department and was
one of the hest the board had ever received.
& It is evident that the ]““7’}\‘(‘&':”([ Schools are be
ing properly systematized and that a keen interest
is being taken by every teacher of the faculty. The
enrollment is large and the average attendance is
- very good. We expect great things from this
school year for Fitzgerald and we do not believe
we shall be dissappointed.

THE SPIRIT OF AUTUMN—Spring is the sea
son of budding hopes and glowing promise, aut
umn the time of substantial achicvement. The
farmer and gardener rejoices in generous rewards
of his toil. Nature celebrates by her most glowing
colors. Mankind enjoys the lucious .products
which the bounty of the creator provided. ‘
Some imaginative people see ) feel melan
choly of falling leaves and decov of vegetation.
But more hopeiul natures think or <rackling fires
and bins full of fruit and vegetables. Also the re
turn of cool weather brings a tonic into the air
Where you idled away the soft days of April with
the languor of Spring fever, October spurs you
cn with her energy, and tells you to go out ingtc
the world and do something worth while.
THE RESTLESS AGE—Ii you take a positior
along a popular motor road on a pleasant Sunday
the principal impression you get is of the intense
restlessness of these times.
The people are scrambliing to outspeed eact
other, in the words of a popular song, “don’t know
where they are going, but they are on their way.’
They hurry and rush to get to a certain city, anc
once they get there, begin to hurry and rush tc
get somewhere else. People have no time fo
thought, reading or intelligent talk. The only
thing that can satisfy their vacant minds is to keej
in motion. At least, so says the pessimist.
And yet many people use this activity to thei
advantage. They do not enjoy going out on :
motor trip so much for mere motion, as to observe
the country. They get ideas as to what other peo
ple in the same line of business are doing. The
observant man will gain more in a 50 mile ride
than the merely restless fellow would in a trif
across the country,
FEMEMBER YOUR ABSENT ONE, OR WE
WILL DO 1T FO RYOU—The “llome Paper’
the fondest visitor to every city dweller throwt
by circumstances among the tall buildings anc
smoky stacks; thrown among new and untrie
iriends, It is the warnmest visitor a man can have
ow has gone out in the world.
As Thanksgiving approaches, you cannot give
A more welcome gift to that boy or girl who is {a
away ; that father and mother who have retired ta
distant parts: that friendly neighbor who has gone
to the city or to another state, than a year's sub
seription to the “old home” paper. It will mear
en hour's jov, an hour’s return of fond recollection:
to him or her every week of the year—an ever;
week remembrance of you!
If you think your hoy or gir or friend woul
rather subseribe himself, mark this piece and mai
the paper to him, or send us the name on the fol
lowing coupon and we will do it for you:

The wheel was detached without

The wheel was detached without in

}whccl must have been raised from
the head of the rail a sufficient height
itu permit the flange to clear the rail
when the wheel left its axle, There
was testimony to the effect that the
engine was raised or felt to be,
Other eircumstances connected with
the derailment confirm the belief that
the engine was materially raised at its
forward end and the wheel given the
opportunity to pass over the top of
the rail at a stage in the explosion,
The wheel was clearly acted upon
by a force against its inner face, Gas
ses under diminished pressure doubt

face of the roadbed and the engine

in part in blowing off the left hand

i Fragments of the pilot were disper

The engine did not take a tangent

twith reference to the curvature of the

!wf the course of the engine is account
’!l' for by the action orf the explosive
being directed chiefly against the

Inforiation was not furnished upon

{ Stight evidence was presented of the

WORLD ALMCST LOST GENius |
tanael Immortal Composer, Had Re
markable Escap:z From Death in
Duel in Early Life.
Yhe greuat composer Handel was
o at Halle, #'ebruary 24, 1684, and
at wne outset of his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
he was nearly lost to the world by
a quarrel with one Matthewson, 2
able musician, who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but-a score butioned under Huandel's
coat and on which his antagonist's
weapon bhroke, saved his life, which
was destited to prove of inestimable
value to the whole world,
In performing on the organ hISI
ommind of the instrument wa#
amazing, as was the fullness of his
harmony and the gracdeur and dig
aity of his siyle. Handel wore an
» enormous white wig, and when things
went well at the oratorios it had s
2ertain nod or vihration which de
noted his satisfaction and pleasure
Without this signal it wae ceriais
that he was out of humor.
He never married and died pos
sessed of $lOO.OOO, of which he e
queathed one-half to the fund for de
cayved musicians, while the remaindor
went to his relatives,.—Chlcago Jour
