Speed, but not knowledge of 1t
There is such d thing as bringing
speed too prominently before the eyes
of the American public, said George
J. Charlton, general passenger agent of
the Chicago & Alton recently, as he
gazed at the speed indicator in his pri-
vate car. showing 20 miles an hour on
the Newspaper Special" The travel
ing public wants trains that will get
them to their destination in the short
est possible time, but they dislike to
be told actually how fast they are be
ing hurled through space at any given
point And he illustrated by the ex-
perience of placing speed indicators in
the regular coaches on a certain road.
The passengers did not like it, When
the Indicator commenced TO creep up
to 65 miles an hour, went on above 20.
and slowly near to so miles, women
grew pale. men looked out of the win
dows uneasily, and an old lady became
hysterical.
Yet passengers will be perfectly
contented on fast trains if they do not
know how fast they are travelling Give
the public speed. but do not prove il
by an indicator. and you are all right
So are they" concluded Mr.. Charlton
