period. which cost 20 lives, was due to
the engineer running by signals and had

Yet It is the Individual and not the sys-

for head-end collisions. In none of the

COULDN'T FIND THE PILOT.
An Example of What People Don't
Know About an Engine.

One of the foremen in the paint de-
partment at the Santa Fe shops tells
a story that shows the ignorance of
some people regarding the technical
names of the different parts OF a loco
motive.
Several years ago" he says, II en-
ployed a young fellow who from all an
pearances was good painter and who
said that he had had some experience in
engine painting. Taking him at his
word / gave him brush, a bucket of
black paint and orders to paint the
pilot Of an engine that was standing
nearby. [ then left him to do as I had
instructed and went to attend to some
work Of my own. In about ten min
utes I happened to stroll by the place
where I had left him. He was missing.
After walking around the engine 1 final
ly discovered him in the cab He was
down on his knees as if looking for
something that he had lost. asked
him what he was looking for and he
answered that he was looking for the
pilot.
Don't you know where the pilot is?'
I said in a loud voice.
i can't say that ] do" was his an
Bwer
BY this time I was pretty hot, so 1
grabbed him by the collar and marched
him up to the front end Of the engine.
DO YOU see that?" I said.
Yes"
We'll, that's the pilot"
ooh, is it2 / always thought that
was the 'caOw ketcher.' "

sCoFFs an aFIRsT AID.0
Alfred Foster Says 1t Is an Unneces-
sary Bother for Railroads.

Alfred Foster. Of Wilmington. n. c..
writing to the Railway Age, denies the
utility OF the first aid to injured" in
structiOn now being given on some
ROADS. He says it IS too difficult for u
railroad man to study even elementary
medicine and surgery.
Another great objection to this sys-
tenn" continues Mr.. Foster, is that il
places within the reach Of the employC
anOdynes and although explicit and
positive instructions are given as 10

railroad man is so tender-hearted tina

the patient shows any signs of great
pain, regardless of all instructions to the
contrary and when the surgeon arrives
upon the scene ne has to treat the pa
tient for opium poisoning before he caIr
go ahead with the surgical procedure.
CThe writer has observed several cases
Of this kind.1
The supporters of this system are
usually very enthusiastic. and are al
ways able to cite numerous instances
where il has proved of value; they can
also display a kit Of first aid TO the
injured supplies, which is certainly d
commentary upon the thong htfulness OF
human ingenuity. For the benefit Oh
these people the writer will give some
figures covering six years work on u

sires to say here that it was his duty to
scrutinize each of the cases enum erated
TO see that there was not the slightest
fault with the operating department III
the handling of the case, and with the
aid Of one Of the most experienced rail-
road surgeons in the country to see that
there was no fault with the medical de-
Dartment.
In the six years there were handled
1864 cases. 240 terminating fatally, $50
capital amputations. OF those termi~
mating fatally 30 per cent. were killed
instantly. In all of this time we did
not find that first aid to the injured
system would have been of the slightest

LOSS WIPED OUT.
Railroad Earnings Will Show a Net
Gain Over 1902.

Net returns of the railroads for March
as the statements are published, show,
as might be expected, much the largest
gain per cent during the fiscal year. It
is probably safe to say that complete
returns for March viii show a net gain
Of to 10 per cent over those of a year
ago. The net gain in February was
something less than Az per cent, but
that was the best month in the current
fiscal year to date. BY the end of March
it is safe to say that the net loss
shown for the current fiscal year to
date win have been wiped out and re-
placed by a net gain. Meanwhile, it is
instructive to note that the heavy ratio
of gross gain which has characterized
returns since the end of January con-
tinues undated. April is in this re-
spect doing fully as well as March It
is clear that railroad values at present
are on the up grade, with every indica-
ton of so continuing throughout thu
