A passenger coach constructed en-

Review the steel passenger coach is a
certainty. The last issue of the Review
contains the following editorial express
sion:
Much thought and money have been

q result OF the experience IN recent
naval battles that the government I'M
dertOok a line of experiments which re
suited in the discovery Of a process by
means Of which wood may be rendered
practically hreproof. Is not such a
process applicable to the material OF
car construction Would it not be or
practical as we'll as advertising benefit
to have cars constructed of wood which
had been subjected to such process
Would the increase cost due to such
process be prOhibitiVe2 These are points
worth some consideration. The greater

lection OF the larger parts OF the re
manning wood in sight would not pre-
clude its being made to present sat
isfaCtOry finish. Some roads are now
trying copper sheathing for the exterior
facing. We believe that one road has
experimental with sheet steel head lin
ings. and a little thought will evidence
the fact that wood can be replaced by
steel to a greater extent than has YET
been done in passenger equipment
we believe that the steel passenger

a fact that the steel freight car has ar
rived. and that to those who are am
bilious to lead this subject viii offer
much food for thought. In the mean
while. an Investigation of the subject

cerned in coach building. At any rate
