FOR PROTECTION
OF RAILROAD MEN
STATE COMMISSION LAYS DOWN
RULES FOR BUILDING
OF TELL-TAlES,
WILL WARN TRAINMEN AGAINST
LOW BRIDGES OVER
TRACKS.

The railroad commission yesterday
announced a decision in the matter
of the erection of tell-taIes for the
protection of railroad men. These
are placed on either side of bridges
so as to warn the men on top of
freight cars that a low bridge is be-
ing approached. After a discussion
of the subject, the commission lays
down six rules for the construction
OF these telltales, all to be complied
with within the next three months.
The rules are as follows:
1. Tell-tales or warming signals
shall be provided wherever in the
state of Wisconsin there shall be over,
above or across any of the tracks of
any railroad a bridge, crossing, via
duct or other obstruction of a height
of less than seven feet above the
roof of any freight car used on or
hauled over said bridge"
2. Said telltaIes shall be installed
over each track so as to afford pro-
ftectiOn against traffic in the estab-
lished direction or directions, and at
such distance from the obstruction as
shall provide adequate security
against accident.
3. Said tell-taIes shall consist of a
transverse support placed across each
track, to which shall be attached
straps, ropes, cords or other suitable
material or device spaced not more
, than inches apart for a width of
, eight feet directly over each track.
4. The cords or other warning de-
vice shall be attached to the trans
verse beam, rod or other support at a
height not less than the minimum
height prescribed in rule I, and the
lower ends of the cords shall reach
not less than six inches below the
lowest projecting point Of the bridge
or other overhead obstruction.
5. The standard plan used in the
construction of teIl-tales on each road
of the state of Wisconsin shall be
submitted to the railroad commission
for approval.
6. On or before June 30 in each
year, it shall be the duty of each
railroad company within the state of
Wisconsin to file with the railroad
commission, on the prescribed blanks
a verified report showing the loca-
. ton, height, etc, of each bridge, via
duct, tunnel or other overhead OBJ
struction across any track or tracks
of said road having "a height of less
than seven feet above the roof of
any freight car used on or hauled
over said road, together with state
ment showing whether or not the pro
visions of the law and this order have
been fully complied with.

modern devices. In spite of this. it is
a neat and convenient little thing to
have, and the following simple direc-
lions will enable any boy to make one:
Get a small vial of clear glass, and
into it put piece OF phorphorus about
the size of a pea. Then pour in, IN.
till one-thiId full, some pure olive oil
heated to the boiling-point, and cork
the vial tightly. To get light at any
time, you have only to remove the
cork and let some air get into the vial,
and then put in the cork again. Tais
will cause the whole empty space in
the vial to become luminous, the light
being strong enough to enable you to
see the time BY a watch Or clock.
When the light grows dim, take out
the cork again, and then replace 1t as
before. In cold weather it may be
necessary to warm the vial between
the hands TO take the chill out of the
oil. The absolute safety Of the light,
even in a magazine filed with powder
and other explosives, makes it useful
to night-watchmen, many Of whom
used to carry it-and may do yet, for
all the editor knows.

trusted will prove capable of taking
a census. Theirs will not be a case

make to the postmaster will be the
foundation for a new directory of the.

riers will be the chief of the census
bureau, and the carriers will make
their reports to him. He has been
provided with blanks for the carriers
and when they start their work VIA

Though it may take q short time
longer to complete than the govern
ment census it will be more thorough
for men who carry the mail will cor
rect their work each day as they go
over their routes. The plan is to set
the name, address and nationality OK
every person in the city who secures
mail.
The plan is TO make a postal di-
rectOry of Rockford AT each home
the name of the husband and wife
will be taken, and also the name OF
all the children who receive mail. and
then there will be a list of the smaller
children, while a column viii IN
doubtedly be reserved in which win be
placed the number of eXpectancies, to
be asked, and enumeration will be
made where an increase in family
is expected within thirty days.
Slips which the carriers Will fila
out viii be printed and uniform
There will be the name of husband
wife and adult members of the family
living at the same address and also
the names of the younger members.
Also will be included the names OF
roOmers. The carriers will turn in
their lists at the office each day and
they will be copied into a book ar
ranged alphabetically, and on which
all changes of address VIII be made
when they are reported to the head
officers.
This method of taking the census is
believed to be one of the best yet
tried. 1t will beat the directories and
also the government census, in that
great care will be made to watch
movers; and there viii be no doub-
ling.
1t is believed the census can De
completed in sixty days and when II
is done it will be as nearly thorough
as can be made. 1t will form the
basis of the figures for the federal

sets will be most interesting.

Comparatively few people know
that Wisconsin has a system ot
schools known as the day schools for
the deaf. These schools scattered all
over the state make it possible for
many deaf children 10 attend school
without leaving home. The schools
are a part o. the public schools OIL
the cities in which they are located.
The children thus are surrounded by
an environment which tends to make
them as much like hearing children
as possible. They are taught TO
speak and to read the lips Of those
speaking to them. They mingle with
the hearing children on the play
ground and enter into their sports.
Seven or eight children constitute
fair SEED school. The atmosphere OF
the school is that OF the family circle.
The accompanying cut represents one
Of these schools, located at Blooming
ton. in Grant county. Here is the
teacher, Miss Katherine F. Reed, with
her group of children around her.
The Oldest is %, the youngest abou;
seven. They are able to talk and IN
derstand when a person talks to
them. The whole community is
proud CO this deaf school It IS
blessing to the children, a joy TO Their
parents.
This is only one Of the % such
lowing cities: Amigo, Appleton, ASH
and, Black River Falls, Bloomington.

BRIGHT GROUP OF A TYPICAL DEAF SCHOOL

Stevens Point, Superior, Wausau and
Madison. There were 3O5 pupils ell
rolled in these schools last year.
At the regular meeting of the BOARD
o. education of Madison in July a reso-
luton was adopted, authorizing Super
intendent Dudgeon to organize day
school for the deaf. Arrangements
were made and at the opening OF the
public schools, September 8, a room
for the deaf was opened in the Doty
school, 351 West Wilson street Five
children are enrolled at present and
there are several more in the city
who are expected to come in soon.
Moreover, there are several in the
surrounding country who will undolot-
eddy take advantage Of the Oppor un-
tiles offered by this school.
There is no expense for tuition.
The school is absolutely free. The
state pays to the school board $50
for each child who attends the school
$50 days during the year. The chill
dren study the same books that the
hearing children study, and cover the
same work that is done in the hear
ing grades.
Many children that have fallen be-
hind in schools merely because OF de-
fective hearing have been so helped
IN deaf school that they have been
restorSd to the hearing grades. Per
sons having children whose hearing
is so defective that they are not
keeping up in their school work cev-
tainly should visit this special school
and make arrangements to have their
