which has been attracting good deal OF atten-
ton, is badly named 1t should be The Aeeu-
satons of a signalman," for the author reveals no
wrongdong of his Of his brothers in the sigma
tower but tells us how engine drivers conductors ana
brakemen conspre to produce railroad accidents
These accusations especially those relating to the
habtual passage of cautonary signals ara doupuess
to large extent true, but they suggest an interesting
line of questions in racial psychology.
The author tells us that the American makes tho
worst railroad employee IN the world for the same reh-
son that he makes the best civil engineer miner or
factory hand-namey, that he can not bear to Yield
a blind obedience but must see the reason for what
he does He has in other words, too much initiative
for a lob that requires him to be merely cog m
machine.
If an engine driver cautionary signal, out az
the same time sees a clear track stretching straight
ahead for mile, he will act the evidence OF his
senses and disregard the signal And after ne mas
done this several times he Will form habit that will
carry him past such signal even on foggy oay'
when he cannot see the track at all
The author of the Confessions concludes that we
must break up this bad habit by forcing trainmen to
a blind obedience of signals and orders, using sys-
TEN of inspectors and punishments; although be Is
afraid that the influence of the unions, which ne CON
siders detrimental to discipline would prevent this
In other words, he would try to make the American
mechanic fit into a system for which he Is temporal
mentally unfit, just the American soldier the pest
of his kind, could be made into the kind OF
soldier that the German army produces The opposite
plan that of adapting the system to the temperament
and special abilities of the American mechanic seems
to have occurred neither to the sgnalman nor to the
management of our railroad companies
The men themselves have adapted it, In rough
and tumble sort Of way, with disastrous results Is it
not possible to devise system of train rules and sig
nails the reasons which shall be clear to those who
use them? If not automatically acting devices would
seem to be the only and these, except where
electric power is in use have hardly reached the COM
mercaI stage But would seem that an engine driver
for instance ought never to be placed in situation
where the rules tell him to do thing and his COM
mon sense bids him do another. In such situation
an American win follow his common sense every time,
and the sooner rule makers realize this the better

burned outright and others badly injured that they
became worthless. Lloyds paid the bill just as
promptly as the other insurance companies had settled

The man who settles death claims for horse insur-
