One of the distinctive features of Ameri-

ridiculing for years the old world system
of box ears with side doors, American
railroad men are beginning to realize that
they must return to this very type OF
car. at least where great crowds are to
be handled The American Engineer and
Railroad Journal calls attention to the
fact that the concentration of crowds OF
passengers at the ends of cars is wrong as
a transportation principle. 1t says that
it IS manifest that a plurality of side doors
cause a diffusion Of movement. decrease
congestion and accelerate progress. II
the mean distance travelled is one-hal
the length of car, the movement will
be quicker, aside from the crowding. With
side doors ordinary stops may be reduced
to from three to five seconds and car
may be entirely emptied or filled in ten
seconds.
