Cause of Flat Wheels

What makes fiat whecls?" asked the
man sitting next the old brakeman.
Darn fools" said the brakeman ITS
TINS way; If a man doesn't know how to
stop his car he makes n fiat wheel. On
the steam roads some brakcmen fiatten
a wheel every time they put on the
brakes. When the wheel suddenly stops
revolving and the momentum of tho
train carries it on, the wheel slides along
the track and fiat is started Next

thing goes until the wheel is no good.
If brakeman knows his business he
need never make n fiat wheel unless. he
has to stop suddenly to avoid an acct
dent. If he keeps his wheels turning
slowly they don't tiatten. Now these fell
lows on the trolleys take no care at all.
and every other car in some places has
a fiat wheel. New York Times.
