(Written for the United Press). Washington, Oct. 8. Imagine your self rilling on a trtain. Then imagine little more and ask if tho engineer i of sound mind; affected with heart 'rouble; colorblindness; a subject of wjilopsy, paresis or some other sinis ter malady that may cause him wrong ijf to read signals or drop from his seat at the throttle. He is responsible far your safety. Imagine some more and place yourself aboard an electric steamboat or in a cross country automobile. Transfer your imaginings to) the motorman, pilot or chauffeur whatever the man in charge of yourJ Silifcty may be. Is he mentally and physically sound f This subjest is now before the United Vfitates Public Health Service. Surgeon i eneral Rupert Blue will soon ask Con fess to frame a law placing tho pow f to examine annually the custodians oif public safety in interstate traffic in the hands of the Health Service. The langor of wrecks on railroads, steam ships and electric cars and of automo aniies is expected to be materially min imized if the plan is carried out. A rigid annual examination would t)(V required. It would include tosts for defective eyesight, defective hear ing, mental diseases and organic hdart trouble. Tho holding of yearly physi cal tests of every man who runs a train or steamship or electric car and nho is responsible for the lives of hun dreds of persons each day will, it. is believed tend to eliminate one of the principal causes of wroclis. Officers of the Public Health Service are of the conviction that physical unfitness is responsible for more wrocks than most jvople realize, particularly in the dis inters caused by engineers running heedlessly past signals. I Colorblindness Bad. Colorblindness is responsible for snore wrecks than have evor been at tributed to this defect, the surgeons bolieve. People suffer from this ail Wi'int and little suspect it. Reds, greens ii nd browns look almost alike to peo ple who are colorblind. Tests for hearing is also important. Uetec.tion of unusual sounds, the pecu liar thump of a broken flang or oth or dangerous conditions of rapidly re volving machinery has often provented wrecks. The test for organic heart trouble would pufveht many disasters, I'ublic Health surgeons declare.

Goldstein, 1 Barton Street, Boston, Mass., Is anoth er victory by Hood's Sursapariila. This great medicine has succeeded In many cases where others have utterly failed. Mr. Goldstein says: "I suf fered from rheumatism live years It kept me from business and caused ex cruciating pain. My knees would be come as stiff as steel. I tried many medicines without relief, then took Hood's Snraaparllla, soon felt much better, and now consider myself en tirely cured. I recommend Hood's."

Byrnes is Glad. Every time the House Banking and Currency committee holds a meeting, Representative Byrnes, or S. (J., a Dem ocrat, pats himself on the back and congratulates himself that he is no longer a member of that particular committee. For several years Byrnes was a Banking committee senior, rank ing well up toward tho top of tho list and in lino prospectively for the chair manship. Because of the Democratic bickering and internal dissension on the committee, Byrnes now says he is glad he retired last March. Why Byrnes gave up a senior posi tion on the Banking committee, which has charge of currency legislation, is an open secret. The Banking commit mittoe is one of the most important In the House, at that Byrnes was" inter ested in the work and served promi nently as a member of the Pujo money trust investigation committee. But he is a lawyer, a young one, ambitious and prominent in his state. He successful ly defended "Beauty" Beach, charged with assaulting Mrs. Beach who was formerly Mrs. Havemeyor, with a pen knife. Figuring that he might help his per sonal fortunes by remaining on the Banking committee during the publicity given the currency legislation, Byrnes believes the banking committee will be a "dead one" almost a political mor gue, after the currency bill is passed in the House. So he resigned from the committee in the hope of boing of more service in other committee work. Cullop is Oil Magnate, Representative Cullop is a budding "oil magnate." He and friends "at home" are owners of aa oil well in Ohio which Cullop thinks is going to make all hands rich, maybe. During the hottest time in Cullop 's fight for publicity of indorsements of federal bench appointees, Cujuop received a telegram that his oil well wits spouting like a house afire a gushed, it was roported. Cullop made a flying trip to Ohio, a week end journey. He threw a few shirts and socks into a suit case and "beat it" for the first train to Ohio. Now Cullop is confid ing to a few intimate friends that the gushing reports were somewhat exag gerated. APPLE TREE ANTHRACNOSE SHOULD BE TREATED NOW. DNITBD MESS LHiSED WIDE. Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis, Ore., Oct. 8. Apple growers should spray thoir troos with the .0-6-50 Bor doau mixture as soon as possible after the fruit is picked if they are to get the best protection from appletree an thracnose, according to the recommen dations of Profossor H. S. Jackson, of the department of plant pathology, Oregon Agricultural collegt. ''Growers should begin to make prep aration for tho annual full sprayings for apple tree anthracnose, " continued Professor Jackson. "Last season was an ideal one for the development of this disease, and in many orchards it seems to have incroased, especially in orchards which wore not sprayed last fall. It is important that the spray be applied as early as possible. If young orchards, not in bearing, are to be protected the spraying should not be delayed, but should be put on at once. ' ' Where the disease is very abundant and causing a groat deal of damage, two sprayings should be put on, about three weeks apart. Where the disease is esecially serious it is advisable to tttttltttMHHItltttHlttMimtlMUHHUtHUHtt The Markets 4t4 Orders from London yesterday sent hops up half a cent and gave indica ttions of the demand there. It also in dicated that the attempt to hold prices down has begun to weaken, and that they will soon go to a price here that will more nearly correspond with the prices abroad and in New York, Al bert Banister, of London, in his annual review of the hop situation, advises brewers to "lay in their supplies at once, as prices are sure to advance and the crop is not large enough to supply the demand." This is also a notice to growers to hold on and stand for better prices. They cannot go lower and grow ers take no chances in holding, for re ports from all points show a big short age and "not enough hops to meet the demand. ' ' Wheat is sluggish, and the produce and poultry markets unchanged, eggs alone showing an advance. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc.

"Whilo it is advisable to prune out the 'more seriously infected branches before Bpraying, the spraying is the more important and should be given tho preference. The pruning may be done as soon as possible after the spraying. All affected branches should be removed from, the orchard and burned as Boon as cut off, since thoy would be a source of infoction if al lowed to remain on the ground. "80 far as practical it is advisable to cloan out the dead bark wherever cangors are formed, and if wounds are large to protect them with grafting wax or paint. It has been shown that bark in cankers may be a source of infoction for three years.

"The development of very small cankers, if detected in the winter, may often be prevented by shaving off in the thin outer layer of bark. This will allow the cankers to dry out and will to a largo extent prevent the for mation of Bores in the fall. This meth od is practical only on very young treos, and in any case should be con sidered merely supplementary to spray ing."

It was not until last season, that Frances Alda had her chance to sing the role of Mimi at the Metropolitan opera house, in Now York, a theater where oldt'r favoritos had won their successes as Pucciniui's fascinating but frail heroine. Advance notices disclosed nothing of 'what Madame Al da would do in the now role, new for hor but the public which had so great ly admired her Desdomona, was pro pared to enjoy Alda's Mimi quite as keenly. The consensus of opinions the day after the performance resulted as Alda's public predicted it was an ov erwhelming triumph for the Australian soprano. William J. Henderson, the New York Sun critic, one who most singers fear, stated in his roviow: "Madame Alda's singing of the mu sic of Mimi, had ths charms of natur al beauty of voice and simplicity o style." Mr. Krohbiel, of the Tribune, declar ed in his ropbrt: "But no apology was nooded for Ma dame Alda lust night. Hor voice has the frosh youthful quality, which lov ers of the play like to assoc'iaiu with tho fragile heroiuo, and the music is easily within its technical demand, and her skill as an actress compasses all its histrionic needs. " Tho Morning Tolcgmph waxod elo quent in its essay: "Alda's throat, like an abundant fountain, poured forth floods of crys talline song. Her tones woro full and free and true. Thoy roflocted hor emotion as dewdrop rofloct tho morn ing sunlight. Her Mimi was a winsome and floworlike woman, Bwaycd like a flower in the wind, by tho desire of tho moment and like the flower quick ly fading Into death." The press closed its comments on Alda's impersonation with those strong words: "Connoisseurs have always recogniz ed the natural beauty of Madame Al da's voice." In the third act, the Boprano obtained admirable results vo cally and histrionically, winning many curtain calls and flowers." EMPLOYE KILLED BY AN S. P. .

The theory of Bulclde was popular for a RS fcVuiT MERCHANDISE ERCHANDISC. im sttcct ccrwiai time, but, upon investigation by Coro ner Clough, it was found that Olson failed to hear tho approaching train, and was struck by accident. According to the information received by the cor oner, Olson had just come to work on he section gang, and, after depositing his lunch in a building nearby, Btarted to walk np the track. The train ap proached him from behind, and the en gineer gave several warning whistles, but the man did not look around. The pilot of the engine hit Olsen and threw him to the side of the track. His head came in contact with a tie, and death resulted instantly. The dead man has a wife and son here, and has been in the country but a short time. FACT. Local Evidence.
