1t may be questioned whether in
modern annals a queerer accident ever
happened than that which caused the
death of a man on a road near Phila.
delphia. He was picking dandelions
growing under a wall along the road
when a passing trolley car jumped the
track as it neared him and, running
~squarely at him, crushed him to death
against the wall. Not the most vivid
imagination could conceive Of such
a tragedy, and yet, according to the
laws Of probability, says the Balti-
mor American, 1t will not happen
again for two or three generations.

Commenting ON the danger of trust
ing women to run motor cars, an
Ohio mayor suggests that the only
proper machine for a woman to run is
the sewing machine. We should be
more willing to confne our women to
these useful contrivances If they had
electric motors to drive them. 1t
would be well if some of the power
spent in driving automobiles were APP
piled to necessary domestic engines,
which in many homes overtax the feet
that push the treadles.
