They came finally to a place where the stream; after running for miles through a deep gorge, suddenly dropped out of sight, through 2 hole- in its roclly bed. The engineers had no idea where ‘the stream came out—all they knew was that it dissppeared down that cavernous hole in the bowels of the mountain. For all they knew, it never reached daylight again, or if it did, very ““likely it plunged over nincmlce. But they de- termined to find out, if pouxble, where and how it emerged. The only way they could think of was to follow ; the water down ‘that hole. They: tied their clothing ,lml instruments into compact bundleu. strapped ~‘them to-their backs, and plunged into ‘the boiling vortex. ‘A little later they found themselves, some- what to their own surprise, in a quiet, sun-lit pool somewhat farther down the mountain side, ‘bruised - and bleeding, and gaspmg for breath, but,still alive and whole. The. result of /that daring exploit is seen today in the fertile Uncompahgre valley, watered and ! made fruitful by the very stream in which ‘those / engineers took such a desperate chance. The other day an Englishman went over Niagara falls in a barrel.. The barrel broke, and he was . dashed to death on the rocks below. venturesome a feat as the other. But there was an essential difference. There was notlnng ‘to be gained by that barrel feat—no - hnrneumg of a force of mture, no adaptation of new resource to man’s use, no discovery of a new and valuable "~ scientific truth—nothing but personal notoriety. There was equal courage in the two cases, but not “ equal sense nor equal inspiration.. One'deed ‘was performed in the service of mankind, and is there- G 3 fore immortal. ' The othér was vainglorious folly. " It is & test worth applying to every act of daring. PR B SALARY AND WAGE RAISES. Hope will' be aroused in the breast of many a salaried man by the fact that in’the new railroad pay scale and small-salaried clerks and agents are to receive larger increases than \many classes_ of ge-earners. White collars, for once, are treated more liberally than overalls. The railroad unions, after the fashion of manual ‘workers in general, may criticise such action, but * the general public may be trusted to recognize its essential justice. There can surely be no serious question that : clerks, agents and:'other “white- collared” groups . are at least as essential to 'the .’ operation of a railroad as are engineers and fire- men, not to mention common laborers, though from lack.‘of ndeq\mte organization- their’ deserts have i not ‘always been so fully recognized in’ the past. 'Moreover, unless they are paid somewhere near - what they deserve, according to present standards, thty will not stay in the business. ‘v % Such reeognition has been given already to cer- ‘tain other ‘economic groups of “brain-workers,”’ tuchera for example, and to a less degree, to postal It was as- 4 7ka ho: Yéss famoufi ‘ Baynrd Veiller. section _of the country, / ‘There is still-a strange callousn: most cmlens to fire in he wood ‘ showing o£ the:'b)g mew Goldwyn Tt is a story in. which efl‘ervescent ‘comedy and tense emotions have been inJected into a'clever plot evolved by y#mght than ngh fisance in Wal Street ‘and ' a gl!‘LWh had 3 ‘ab pprecmtwe and ‘enthu i the; initial spe- ial,’ Dangerous Ddys,” by’ Mary Roberts Rinehart ‘at the Grand' the- With’ posi tography of ; ‘and fire scenes, and mterpteted ‘by a' ‘wonderful .all- Clanssa Selwyne, Pauline .
