Engineer Who Makes Time.

"They do not run trains so fast in

too much about their engines" said
an engineer who has run an engine In
that country TN England man has
to be a competent machinist before
he is allowed to run.
They say that the man who knows
all about how an engine is put to-
gether knows how delicate some Of
it's parts are, knows how many dozen
and one things there are liable to
break at any minute, hasn't the nerve
to run one of them eighty or ninety
miles an hour.
"The best engineers are the ones
who don't know too much about their
engine-just know enough to locate a

how to unlock her on one side if she
breaks driving rod or something that
way. That's theory at any rate, and
