Railway Officials Viewed Silent Drama to Stimulate Movement A realistic moving picture film in the interests of the Safety First Move- ment was displayed in a specially fitted car at Montreal before Vice- President Bury and a. number of C.P.R. officials. [SAW “SAFETY FIRST ” FILM The film was produced by Mr. Mar- cus A. Dow, general safety agent, New l'ork Central Lines, and tells the story of a railroad man. Jack Foster, whose carelessness endangered the happi- ness of his wife and home until his friend, Jim Stevens, a booster for the Safety First. convinces him by demon- strating awful examples that it is worse to gamble for life than to gamble in any other way. One man} loses his leg. and other accidents arei realistically portrayed in an exhibition 1 at the Safety Rally to which Jim Stevens takes Jack Fosterâ€"such as the shopman who loses an eye through 1 not wearing goggles. the carpenterj losing a finger while working at a buzz saw without the guard, the brake- man being run over while running between moving cars. the engineman being killed while boarding the foot- lmard of an engine in motion. Par- ticularly impressive is the picture of a collision due to slowness in flagging. In order to promote the Safety First Movement in Canada, Mr. Bury se- cured a copy of the film, to be offered to moving picture houses at divisional and other important railroad points along the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Seaman Survived the Titanic. press, Lusitania, etc. Pleading guilty at Liverpool to hm ing failed to join his ship, Charles 5.11m, seamen, said he had served in the Titanic, sunk in iceberg collision; the Empress of Ireland, lost in col- lision with Storstad; the Lusitania and the Florazan, torpedoed. In con- sequence ot these experiences seamen generally were alleged to regard Dunn as a "Jonah.” Dunn said the other sea- 4 men threatened to throw him over- board if he dared to make the trip. He therefore joined the Royal Naval Reserve. but was discharged later as unfit for further service. The Stipen- diary: “Ithinkamanwhohasbeen through so much dam m con- sideration.

Don’t you ‘ love the Rue de la Paix?” Itself to him, while Fanchon, with the utmost coolness, made a very thorough visual examination of Penrod, favoring him with an estimating scrutiny which lasted until he literally wiggled. Final- ly she spoke. “Where do you buy your ties?” she asked. “What?" “Where do you buy your neckties? Papa gets his at Skoone’s. You ought to get yours there. I’m sure the one you're wearing isn’t from Skoone’s." “Skoone’s?” Penrod repeated “Skoone‘s’?” "On Fifth avenue,” said Fanchon. “It’s a very smart 51101), the men say.” “Men?" echoed Penrod in a hazy Whisper. “Men?" “Where do your people go in sum- mer?“ inquired the lady. “We go to Long Shore, but so many middle class people have begun coming there mam- ma thinks of leaving. The middle classes are simply awful, don’t you think?” “What?" “They’re so boorjaw. You speak French, of course?” Penrod wandexed in a labyrinth. This girl seemed to be talking, but her words were dumfounding, and or course there was no way for him to know that he was really listening to her mother. It was his first meeting with one of those grownup little girls, wonderful product of the winter apart- ment and summer hotel, and Fanchon, an only child, was a star of the brand. He began to feel resentful. “I suppose,” she went on, “I’ll find everything here fearfully western. Some nice people called yesterday, though. Do you know the Magsworth Bittses? Auntie says they‘re Charm- ing. Will Roddy be at your party?” “I guess he will,” returned Penrod. finding this intelligible. “The mutt!” “Really!” Fanchon exclaimed airily. “Aren’t you great pals with him?” “What’s ‘pals’?" “Good heavens: Don’t you know what it means to say you’re ‘great pals’ with any one? You are an odd child!” It was too much. “Oh, bugs!” said Penrod. This bit of rutfianism had a curious effect. Fanchon looked upon him with ) sudden favor. “I like you. Penrod.” she said in an odd way. and whatever else there may have been in her manner there certain- ly was no shyness._ “Oh. bugs!” This repetition may have lacked gallantry, but it was ut- tered in no very decided tone. Penrod was shaken. “Yes, 1 do!" She stepped closer to him. smiling. "Your hair is ever so pretty." . Saiiors’ parrots swear like mariners, they say, and gay mothers ought to re- alize that all children are imitative_, for "’â€" as the precocious Fanchon leaned to- ward Penrod the manner in which she looked into his eyes might have made a thoughtful observer wonder where she had learned her pretty ways. Penrod was even more confused than he had been by her previous mys- terlea but his con1u§i0u_wz}s of a .djs~ tinctly pleasant and alluring nature. He wanted more of it.

He stepped twice on each step the better to enjoy their eifect, and at the same time he deeply inhaled the odor of the gloves. In spite of everything Penrod had his social ca- pacities. Already it is to be perceived that there were in him the makings of a cotillion leader. Chosen guests began to arrive, while" Penrod, sufiering from stage fright and l perspiration. stood beside his mother,‘ in the “drawing room," to receive them. i He greeted unfamiliar acquaintances: and intimate fellow criminals with the same frigidity. murmuring “’M glad to see y’" to all alike. largely increas- ing the embarrassment which always prevails at the beginning 01’ children’s: » festivities.

She gave him What she considered a forgiving look and, because of the oc- casion, addressed him in a perfectly courteous manner. “I wish you many happy returns of the day, Penrod.” “Thank you. sir!” he returned. fol- lowing Dr. Thorpe with a glassy stare in which there was absolutely no rec- ognition of Marjorie. Then be greeted Maurice Levy, who was next to Mar- jorie, “ ’M glad to see y’!” Dumfounded. Marjorie turned aside and stood near, observing Penrod with gravity. It was the first great surprise of her life. Customarily she had seem- ed to place his character somewhere between that of the professional rioter and that of the orang ontang. Never! theless her manner at times just hint-g ed a consciousness that this Caliban was her property, wherefore she stared at him incredulously as his head bob bed up and down in the dancing school bow, greeting his guests.

Fanchon also thought that sandy hair was attractive, Sam Williams discover- ed a few minutes later. and so catholic was her taste that a ring of boys quite encircled her before the musicians in the yard struck up their thrilling march, and Mrs. Schofield brought Penrod to escort the lady from out of town to the dancing pavilion. Headed by this pair. the." children sought partners and paraded solemnly out of the front door and round a cor- ner of the house. There they found the gay marquee, the small orchestra seated on the lawn at one side of it and a punch bowl of lemonade invit- ing attention under a tree. Decorous- ly the small couples stepped upon the platform, one after another, and began to dance. “It’s not much like a children’s party in our day,” Mrs. Williams said to‘ Penrod’s mother. “We’d have been‘ playing Quaker meeting, clap in, clap out or going to Jerusalem, I suppose." “Yes, or postoflice and drop the hand- kerchief,” said Mrs. Schofield. “Things change so quickly.
