p ESsND srENL CAEs IN COLLISION

r ESSED SrENL CARS IN COLLISION.
The Philadelphia Record publishes
voluminous testimony as to the supe-
rior durability and safety Of pressed
steel cars for railroads. The recent an
nouncement that the Carnegie Company
had contracted to supply one thousand
tons of steel a day for ten years to the
Pressed Steel Car Company, of Pitts
burg, has aroused much public interest
in the cars referred to, and the ques-
ton has been asked more than once:
What would be the effect of collis-
ion or other mishap Oh a railroad train
equipped with steel cars?" The Balt1-
more and Ohio railroad, completely re-
modelled and modernized in it's rolling
stock equipment during the receiver
shin. possesses about six thousand nearly
new pressed steel cars The master car
builder of the Pittsburg and Western
railway Ca branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio has had several OF the pressed
steel cars sent to his repair shops from
the road after having been in accidents
of various kinds, and his report on the
condition of the cars after the toughest
usage in collisions shows that the
pressed steel car is as indestructible
as can possibly be made. A car of
this character was recently in an acct
dent that would have reduced TO kind
ling wood and scrap iron an ordinary
car, but was found to be practically I'M
injured, the repairs necessary to
straighten its bent sides and put it in
good shape again costing for material
and labor the astonishing small total
Of 1913. 81! These cars can be made as
light as necessary ana are of immense
strength, the material of which they
are constructed being slowly forged by
hydraulic power.
The Pressed Steel Car Company has
more orders for cars now than it can
fill, some of these orders including steel
passenger cars. These pressed steel
pieces have not only immense strength
but are lighter than steel castings, and
are used for variety of purposes.
The method of manufacture is simply
an enlargement of the quick method Of
stamping sheet brass, tin or other met
al into shapes for fancy boxes. hard
ware novelties. bicycle parts and null
hilarious metal goods of small size.
Car wheels have been made Of pressed
steel for some time past, and have Civ
en- good service. The process of press
ing steel seems to occupy a position
midway between the rapid stamping Of
small or light articles from sheet metal
and the slow forging by powerful by
draulic presses of red-hot ingots OF
steel.
The process evidently is capable OF
great development.

! BOYCOTTING THE PARIS EXPOSE TION
Already the word comes from Bel
GUM that the people of that country
have decided to boycott the Paris Ex-
position because of the Dreyfus YER
dict. Prospective exhibitors are with
drawing their names and French COM
mercial houses are already being boy
cotted.
In this connection, some days ago it
was intimated that Senator Stewart, of
Colorado, would introduce resolution
in Congress at the coming session di-
recting withdrawal of the United States
from all official participation in the
Paris exposition next year because OF
the Dreyfus verdict.
1t is not likely, however, that such
a resolution would pass and it ought
not to pass Whatever we may think
of the Dreyfus incident we should not
thus officially insult the government OF
sister Republic, which is entitled
rather to our sympathy in this crisis
than to our enmity. The Dreyfus ver-
dict is matter the United States gov
eminent should not takes sides in Off
cially, how ever strong our feelings
may be over that gross outrage on JUS
tice The boycott feature can safely be
left to individuals.
1t is said that the imminent
danger of mob violence alone will
deter very many foreign exhibitors
from risking their property at the ex-
position. Many visitors, also, will keep
away from the exposition for fear OF
personal violence, although doubtless
many others viii be attracted to the gay
French capital just to see what Paris
is like under high pressure.
1t will not be in accord with the
French character if France passes
through this crisis without a revolution.
Meanwhile, the United States govern
ment should keep strictly hands off.

from every point of view including the
financial. Let The Players be revived
and with the same clever and consci-
entious people as far as possible, and
the Register will guarantee their con-
tinued success.

Almost the entire press of Europe
condemns the Dreyfus verdict. Even
in Russia, where the anti-Semite feel
ing is very strong, the finding of the
courtmartial is roundly condemned as
an outrage. All of which looks bad for
the success of the Paris Exposition.

The Moundsville fair opened yester-
day in a blaze of glory. There was an
increased attendance over the first day
of last year, the races were close and
exciting and everybody got value re-
ceived for his money. The weather be-
ing perfect had the effect of drawing
large crowd. The list of exhibits are
many and compare most favorably with
what were on the grounds last year.
On the Midway the usual number of at
fractions are to be found and of each
it can be said that the shows are worth
the admission fee charged. The track
yesterday was in the very best of con-
dition. 1t was a tritie fast, which fact
pleased the spectators. But two races
were run, but to-day there will be
three on the programme. The first
yesterday was the 2:40 county mixed,
purse $50. There were four starters
and each heat was hotly contested by
Nancy K. and Laura B. The first, how
ever paced without a break, while
Laura B. was off her feet on several
occasions. The time Of the first heat
was 2:47, and in the second it was re-

good work, evoking much enthusiasm
