sparkling comedy dramas true to life

scenes are laid so as to evolve a play
that would differ materially from the
plays usually rendered by travelling
companies.
The company comes well recon

RAILWAY WRECKS AND BAD
STEEL RAILS.


The decision of the Amefl .an Rail
way association to say to the manu-
facturers of steel rails that the prod
uct they are turning out is far from
satisfactory and to demand that bet
Ter material be used is of sufficient
Importance to arouse general public
interest, il not general public appre-
henson. Without going into the ques-
lion of whether or not the manufac-
turers have been living up to the
rail specifications, it is sufficient to
say that under present specifications
100 many unsafe rails are being manu-
Cactured and are being put where the
impact of the heavy, modern, fast
passenger train searches out their lat
ent defects. When this occurs there
| $ too apt to be a disastrous railroad
wreck. The quality of steel rail is
90 important factor in the safety
of railway operation to be neglected.
Not long ago the management of the
| Lake Shore issued an official and pub
| lie statement to the effect that de
| rective steel rail caused a wreck of
1
| I'd train, and charges of this sort have
| become frequent against the present
| steel rail.
| At its last convention the American
/ association for testing materials is
| sued instructions to a committee to
prepare specifications for steel rail
which will give promise of correcting
/ Co NncCthla tho hnfaDfipun anal
ty which is obtained under existing
| specifications" In this connection 1t
is also stated that the manufacturers
af switches and of frog crossings are
experiencing difficulty in securing
steel rails which will stand the bend
ing necessary for this character of
construction, and bad switches and
bad crossings are exceedingly dan
cerous.
1t is claimed by some operating au-
lhorities that the modern process Of
manufacturing steel rails, which en-
ables a plant to turn out thousands
81 tons daily where formerly hundreds
we're manufactured in twenty-four
hours. has resulted in deterioration
l III lUe
tleness, and that in order to overcome
this manufacturers are prone to make
rails too soft.
A soft rail, of course, will not snap
as quickly under impact as n hard
rail, but the fact remains that rail
road wrecks are more and more fire.
quently being charged against the de-
fective rail. It does not take an
expert in operator or in rail manu-
featuring to know that the steel rail
ought to grow better instead OF
worse. The weight and the speed OF
trains are constantly increasing, and
the demands of traffic upon the steel
rail have been becoming greater each
year. In view of the fact that public
sentiment is thoroughly aroused over
frequent railroad wrecks, it is pre-
sumed that the manufacturers will
meet the railroads of the country hall
way in their nttempt to improve the
steel rail.-Record-He

That is what so many fail to urder-

true religion expresses Itself In our
surroundings. 1t is poor religion
tnat teaches a child the simplicity Of
the Carpenter Son OF Nazareth, and
then surrounds that child in the home
with everything that stands for the
very opposite of simplicity. To teach
n child that the greatest thing In the
world is truth can be done effectively
only where the father and mother live
| in an atmosphere of truth and where
all things around them are truthful.
The religion that child finds in ITS
home will last much longer and go
| farther than that which 1t hears talk
ed about in Sunday school or at :,
religious service. There is vast
amount OF true religion and the best
chris ianity hidden away in the food
which we give our children: in the
dresses which they wear: and in the
amount of sleep which we see that
they get. But this Is a religion when
seems foreign to the minds of thou
