| | THURSDAY; SEPT. 12, 1918. FAMOUS neue ‘VIOLINIST COMING LL BISMARCK MUSIC-LOVERS The’ famous Isolde Menges is. to give two concerts in Bismarck on Oct. 1 land 12, when it:is fully anti- cipated crowded gatherings will greet her enthuiastically. Miss Menges has done more for music in Canada than any visiting artist. “She has given of herself generously. Speaking of her children’s work, The Citizen, Ottawa, says: “Interviewed at the Chateau ' curier last evening after her recital, the world’s most famous lady violinist not only proved that she was the “whim- sical English girl” that thousands have calléd her, but that she was most decidedly human. Delightfully’ un- selfish and charming, the great artist expressed her pleasure at the appre- ciative reception of her art in Ottawa. “‘T think that the modern public are rapidly becoming educated to real art, be it music, or otherwise,’ said Miss Menges, ‘and it is only a question of further educating the public. But the love for the higher arts should be developed in a-child when it is young. Atter a child reaches the age of fit- teen years, without having whatever talent that it may possess developed, the task is next to impossible, If the child is left alone, the particular bent will come out naturally, and then all that is necessary is to develop that bent. Some children may show an ex- extraordinary ‘love for the piano, oth- ers for the violin, others for colors, etc. But I do think that art should play a much bigger part in the funda- mental education of every child. be- cause children love art and I know it. Why, often have I played for the chil- dren, and I love to play for them.. They sit there and,see mto absorb every noie—every tone. Their little jeyes are full|of appreciative feeling, jand they sho wtheir love for music just by the: rapt expression on their little faces. There are some children, that take little interest in what I'am playing, but the majority of them un- derstand and can read the little stor- jes that I play for them, literally | speaking.” ‘ RECEPTION FOR SCHOOL MA’AMS Teachers of the public schools will be guests at an informal reception to be held by members of the First Lap- tist church and congregation in the church parlors on' Fourth street at 7:30 Friday evening. Everyone who wishes to meet the new teachers is invited to be present tomorrow -evening. There will be a short musical program, and refres’:- ments will be served.

Every Red Cross branch and auxil- fary and every junior auxiliary is ask- ed to send in all completed garments and articles of every kind to their chapter or headquarters and also ‘to send’an inventory of all materials and findings in the work rooms to the field secretary of the southwestern division, :American Red Cross, Bismarck, sup- ‘plying a.copy of this report to the chapter superintendent of women’s work or to the local secretary. BUY Wed. eee FEED SECOND WARD WORKERS The domestic science class of the Bismarck high school provided the noon-day luncheon for Second ward registrars on duty at the high school building today. A table was tastefully set in the domestic science department and a scientifically balanced meal which was as appetizing as it was cal- orically perfect was served the mem- bers..of the registration board, who were G. E. Allen, L. K. Thompson and Ray,.M. Bergeson. As a result there are three new champions of domestic science in Bismarck today, To be more exact, there are three old converts to , domestic science as a part of the high school curiculum who are even more enthusiastic than heretofore. The young women of the domestic science department did the cooking. Leave for Home. | Mrs."E. H. Dailey ahd baby left the , Bismarck hospital today for their home on Fifth street.

FEDERAL RAIL CONTROL GOOD Director General. Makes) First Annual Report of, His Stewardship * TELLS OF REORGANIZATION s Describes Methods by Which United States Manages Great System Wiashington, Sept. 12—In a report to the president made public today, | Director General McAdoo tells an in- teresting story of the work of the ; United States Railroad Administra- its existence, The American Transportation System. The American transportation sys- tem is briefly described as including a steam railway mileage (all tracks) of 397,014: miles, owned or controlled by 2.905 companies, employing 1,700,- 814 pérsons. Their property also com- prised \various boat and steamship lines engaged in: coastwise transporta- tion and navigating an inland water- ways system which included some 57/ canals; 3,057 miles in Jength, as well as many thousand miles of igable rivers, lakes, bays, sounds, and inlets, Of the 2,905 rail companies, 185) operated major systems, each ot which had an annual operating revenue of $1,000,000 or more, 221 were switching or terminal companies, 1,434 were; plant facility roads constructed pri- | marily to serve some particular fac- tory or industry, and 765 are what have come to be described as: “short- | more of the larger systems» for {through connections. It is explained ‘that many of the smaller properties {inciuded ‘in this description of the {plexus of transportation which came junder Mr. McAdoo’s control January , 1, 1918, have since been relinquished ‘as not essential to the purposes that | the preisdent’s proclamation and the | enabling legislation had in view, but | that it is the declared policy of the} Railroad Administration to deal equi- | tably with the relinquished properties | insofar as it may have any relation to them. Polley of the Railroad Administratio The report concludes with. a refel ence to Mr. McAdoo's declaration of policy, issued last June, in which he announced that he hoped “to human- ize the. railroads and negative the idea hthat corporations, had.,no souls.” [t might, perhaps, have been more ap- propriate if his report to the presideut had been commenced rather than end- ed with this phrase, for the narrative | reflects throughout an undiminished ardor for practical idealism in the management o fthe railways for the; purposes for which they were taken over. These purposés, as. enumerated by | him, were: ' First—The winning of the war. Second—-The service of the public at the lowest cost consistent“with the payment of fair wages to the railroad | employes and the maintenance of the! transportation system under control | of the government as a self-support- ing artehr than a money-making agen- | Power and. Labor. Mr. McAdoo's view''o¥: the future is optimistic. He says that there is good | ground for believing that substantial | progress has been made “in accelerat- | ing ‘the movement of traffic ard em-! ploying the available equipment more | intensively.” and that he is confident | that the railroads will shortly be in| a condition to meet any demands that may be made upon them if the needed | motive power already ordered can be! secured and the skilled labor neces- sary is not withdrawn from the rail- ‘\roads tor military and other purpos These, he says, are very serious phas- es of the railway problem. Economies Shown by Traftic Statisties Elaborate traffic statistics are ad- duced in support of his claim with re- gard to the intensified employment of equipment. These statistics show. that both the carload and the trainload have been substantially increased, and that by “rerouting” the distance that freight must be hauled between many important centers: has been greatly shortened. In one instance 880 miles have been thus saved, and in many other cases the saving runs from 100 to 500 miles. As one example of the économy that has thus been made possible he’ men- tions the fact that recently during a |period of about 60 days some 8,999 cars were rerouted in a certain west- ery territory so as to effect a saving in the mileage traveled by each car of 195 mileg; equal to a total of 1,754,- 805 car-miles. Condition of Roads When Taken, Over. The report calls’ attention ‘to “the crippled. condition, of. the, railroads when they were taken over as a re- sult of the freight © congestion and; blockades, and explains the measures of relief that were successfully ap- plied to correct these conditions be- fore any permanent organization was etrected or congress had passed en- abling legislation providing for the re- volving tund of $5v0,000,000, which did {not become a law until March 31. 1918. i bat} ‘yne Federal Railroad Organization. The organization. which has been 4 since created is described at length. There is a‘ centsal administration at: Washington, of which Mr. McAdoo is the head.

MAKES LIVING PEDDLING TIME Somewhat Peculiar Occupation of | English Girl Is Said to Bring Her a Fair Income. | Probably no other hill in the world has had so strangely varied a history or played so important a part in the affairs of men as that at Greenwich, in England. ‘The granite line across the footpath on its summit is the meridian from which the longitude on every British map and chart is calcu- lated. All England sets its time by, the.mean solar clock. There is a large galvano-magnetic clock fixed on the outside wall of the observatory and divided into 24 hours. There are many who believe that this clock is kept going by the sun. They do not know that*the fixed stars are the real time keepers from which Britons check their | daily progress. To this galvano-magnetie clock ‘in the wall comes every Monday a wom- an, Miss, Belleville of Maindenhead, who,makes $2,500 a year out of the: queerest occupation in the world. She.) sells the time to London watchmakers, Many years ago the then astronomer royal suggested to her father that If he tovk the corrected time of a certl- fied chronometer every week he could no doubt fiad numerous clients. So Mr. Belleville bought a whtch made for the duke of Essex and then worked up @ business with it. When he died his widow sold the time until she reached the age of eighty-one, and then she handed over the business to her daughter. When Miss Belleville ; visits Greenwich at the beginning of every week her chronometer is cor- rected and she is given an official cer- | tificate. From that her 50 customers | correct their watches and clocks, Yanks Always Happy. A regiment of American soldiers, brigaded with an English regiment ing under-the immediate orders of an English brigadier general, recently | marched for six hours under a brofl- ; ing sun to a point where a German attack was expected, although it failed to materialize, and, while the English | sat down and “looked glum” the Amer- kicans gathered in groups and sang, ; “Hail! Hail! the Gang’s All Here!" The British officer commanding told the newspaper correspondent, says the Loulsaville Post, that he had never seen | such troops. They never seemed to get tired and were always in a good humor and could see amusing things in situations which appealed to the sol- | diers of other nations as anything but funny. “Hail! Hail! the Gang’s All Here” | may-seemi to some gomewhat of a come- , down from the stirring music of “The Campbeil’s Are Coming” but we imag- ine before the war is over it will’ be almost as popular an air with our allies of the French and English.
