ELECTRIC BUTTS
BIG LOCOMOTIVE
TROLLEY CAR C0LLIDES WITH
LIGHT ENGINE
Whittier Express Coach Gets Better
of choo-choo When They Unex-
pectedIy Meet at Crossing
Near Slauson

Speeding along a supposedly clear
track at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour a Pacific Electric freight car,
bound for Whittier and which left Los
Angeles shortly after o'clock yester-
day afternoon, crashed into engine No.
10, running light on the Santa Fe line
short distance beyond Slauson.
The terrific impact forced the engine
from the tracks, crushed in a big CYL
inder and strained the trucks badly.
The electric car was little damaged
beyond the broken glass in the front
end.
That no one was seriously hurt can
be considered little short of miracle.
Motorman Allen of the trolley escaped
with few minor bruises, and, although
he was penned within the narrow con-
fines of the front end of the car, not
even the flying glass which was shat
tered by the impact touched him.
Conductor w. E. rT7~g of the freight
car was bruised about the face. He
was riding inside tie car when the
shock came and received several pain
full but in no wise serious injuries when
the collision occurred.
Engineer Lang on the locomotive was
scarcely touched, and aside from the
shock which accompanied the coming
together of the heavy bodies was not
seriously Inconvenience by the acci-
dent.
Motorman Penned In
Fireman Moran suffered a severe
bruise on the left leg, but was able to
walk.
That the collision was not accom-
panied with more serious results is
remarkable. The trolley car, loaded
with empty milk cans was returning
to Whittier and was speeding along at
the rate of twenty-five miles an hour
The motorman tailed to notice engine
No. Is, returning light from San Ber-
pardino, and not until the locomotive
was almost in the path of the flying
car was his attention called to 1t.
1t was then too late to do anything
more than reverse the power, which
Allen Immediately did. There was nc
time for him to unfasten the door
which opens to the inside, and escape
from his perilous position at the front
of the car, where the brunt of the
iml act was bound to fall. Neither the
engineer nor fireman on the locomotive
had time to jump, and the conductor
on the car was inside where he coul6
not see the impending danger.
When the collision occurred the draw.
bar on the trolley car was rammet
squarely into the cylinder of the loco
motive and burst it asunder. Such wa:
the force of the impact that the engine
was thrown off the tracks for fully two
feet. Had it been struck higher th'
locomotive would surely have over
turned, possibly taking the enginee
and fireman to death underneath.
Traffic on the Whittier line was in
terrupted about two hours.

had to carry the little Airline down a
long ladder, knew the difference, and
he only by the heft of the child.
She also did a fetching little dance

made a hit, and when "Pinafore" was
cast, it was by general consent that
she stepped into the shoes and trousers

CROP GROWING

cultural College.

There are six essential and positive
factors in crop production: COZ the
seed, (2) the home or lodging place,
60 moisture. a. heat. (5) light, and
(6) plant food. Some negative fac
tors are injury from insects and plant
diseases.
Good seed is exceedingly important.
and the quality of the seed selected
and planted is largely under the con-
troll of the farmer.
BY proper drainage and by the use
of organic matter, and by the proper
tillage, thus maintaining good physi-
cal conditions, the farmer may pro-
vide suitable home for the plant, re-
move surplus water, render the soil
more capable of absorbing and retain
ing necessary moisture, and control
the temperature to some extent by
lessening evaporation and by chang
ing the color of the soil, as by the ad.
dition of organic matter.
More than five times as much heat
is required to evaporate water from
the surface Of the soil as would be
needed to raise the temperature of the
same amount of water from the freez-
ing to the boiling point. 1t is because
of this that wet, poorly drained soils
are cold. Dark soils absorb more heat
and consequently are warmer than
light colored soils.
Light is factor over which man
has no direct or positive control, but
he has full control over some negative
factors. such as weeds, which, If al
lowed to grow, might largely prevent
the light from reaching the young
plants. Indeed. the first and greatest
damage caused by weeds is due to the
fact that they shut of the light from
the growing plants. If the supply of
moisture or of plant food is Insult
cient for both the crop and the weeds,
then the weeds may rob the growing
crop of these essentials to some ex.
tent.
So-called nurse crops, such as oats
or wheat, when growing with clover,
may grow 80 thick and rank as to
injure to marked extent the clover
by shutting out the light, also by rob.
bling the clover plants OF moisture and
plant food. To avoid these injuries
or difficulties. the clover should be
started with very light seeding of
