LOST HIS NERVE
Motorman on Chicago & MiIwau.
kee R'y Who Struck Four
People Will Take a Rest
ALL ACCIDENTS UNAVOIDABLE

Four persons having been killed be-
meath the wheels of electric cars Of
which he was motorman and two
women having been manned for life,
l.. A. Broadway, a motorman on the
Chicago Milwaukee Electric line, is
now taking a voluntary rest at his
residence in North Highland Park Ito
recover his nerve"
Within another week he expects to
be at work again and says he trusts
his car never will kill another person.
He is not particularly sure Of such
luck as, he says, people seem to be
taking greater chances with electric
cars every day.
in none of the accidents in which his
car has figured has Broadway been cen
sured by the coroner. AS he tells the
story Of the deaths each accident was
unavoidable, SO far as the motorman
was concerned.
1t is not pleasant, y he said Friday,
" to feel that you have been concerned
in causing the death of four peSapns,
An accident Of that kind shakes one
up a good bit. After my latest one I
voluntarily took vacation. The com
pany did not lay me off, as there was
no Aault attached to my work, but [
wished to rest to recover my nerve. |
probably will return to work on the
Chicago and Milwaukee electric line
within a few days.
cone Of the men killed by my car
was tramp and never was identified
The others were Kit Oelwein, milk
man at Highland Park; Mrs. Elizabeth
Slaughter at Evanston, and man
whose name [ can't remember at the
North Chicago station.
A motorman in charge Of these new
high power electric cars has a nerve
racking job all the time. I have
worked on steam roads and I would
rather run an express train at rs miles
an hour, with locomotive, than try
to keep the express schedule on the
electrics, You often have to make
fifty miles an hour.
.fPeople generally take all kinds
of chances with electric cars. They
completely disregard the fact that the
electrics often are running faster than
steam cars. They jump in front of
electric ars where they would give
steam train wide berth.
II have worked six years on electric
cars and do not think I have had
worse luck than many motormen. L
never have been involved in any acct
dent that resulted from carelessness;
never have collided with another car,
or anything like that I never have
had any small accidents. Every time I
have had an accident I killed some
one.
1T is a terrible feeling seeing some
one suddenly appear on the tracks Just
ahead of you and knowing that you are
powerless to save him. There is
moment of terror and then an awful
feeling comes as you feel the person
carried down and hear horrible cry.
"Grade crossings are the great dan
ger so far as the electric roads are con-
cerned, but many persons take long
chances by waiting in the stations on
the wrong side of the tracks until the
car approaches and then trying to run
across just ahead of the car. J"
Broadway is a big fne-looking man,
and officials of the company for which
he works express great confidence in
him.

POSTOfFICE REFORMS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-While a
committee in the Postofilce Department
is working out the details of improved
registry service with the registration
fee advanced from to 10 cents a let
ter, Postmaster General Hitchcock is
planning a number of notifications in
the department as a whole. For the
next week or so he expects to have
almost daily conferences with bureau
heads Of divisions of the department
and with them get the whole depart
ment in line for the winter work.
II find this an excellent time Of the
year to start a number of things go
ing" said Mr.. Hitchcock. Il can get
the officials here and talk to them, and
they can do the rest. BY the time
the busy winter season begins all the
changes desired will be in effect

tees meet and talk and do nothing.
with wide-awake officials here in
Washington we can go over matters
and come to our decision in compara-

Sweater HeeOnes Universal FaxOrits.

1t is curious to notice the rapid evo-
luton of the sweater from a boyish
garment worn by athletic young girls
at Maine resorts to the acceptable and
every-hour Jacket for young and old
at all spots where the weather per-
mits il.
The objection to il from the con-
servative members of society has van
ished. Custom changes all opinion.
The sweater has become as universal
as the shirt waist.
The innovation is the large fiat brass
button. Young girls adopt this on
the white as well as the colored ones.
Some Of the pockets have pointed flaps
held down by a huge brass button.
Others have long revers, cuffs, and
pocket flaps of vivid linen in any Of
the popular colors, and this is not an
unpleasing touch. They are basted on
and easily removed when soiled.
The advantages Of the colored sweat
ers over the pure white ones is that
they do not have to be cleaned so Of
ten in a season.

Almost every woman has, somewhere
in her house, a chest of old-fashioned
things handed down from generations
that have gone before. Bits of brocade.
laces mellowed by age and sweet with
a lingering perfume of lavender, a
Paisley shawl in all the glory Of its
undimmed colors, and shawl of white
crepe, silky and supple enough to draw
through a finger ring. beautifully en-
broidered and edged with deep silken
fringe are among her treasures.
Such shawls are being worn as even
ing wraps over handsome gowns on
the verandas Of smart summer hotels
on crisp summer nights. They are
also being used on elaborate costumes
as tunics or draped about the figure,
the corners OF the shawl hanging in
points at the sides and front and back
of the skirt.
A wonderful white embroidered silk
crepe shawl was used as draped
tunic over a white messaline princess
gown. Bands of gold net embroidered
in black and gold trimmed the gown
at the low. decolletage, on the small
puffed sleeves, and formed a loose mid
dle-age girdle which hung outside of
the shawl tunic.

The Stout and Slender
Secret Of Correct Dress
Study the Limitations

Any dressmaker can make gowns for
the slender woman. IL is the fat lady
who drives her to distraction Pat
terms have a way OF being deceptive.
Sometimes they appear to make the
figure look thin in the picture. but In
reality they caricature it out Of all
proportion. The only road 20 safety
for the fat lady lies in not trusting
the dressmaker, but in using her own
common sense.
Indeed. madame the dressmaker Is a
born datterer. She v1 perjure her
soul TO prove that certain design OF
dress which il takes yards and yards
Of goods TO carry cut is bound TO be
ever so much more becoming than a
simple style in which there is not so
much profit.
Alas for the peridy Of human ma
ture. One dressmaker that | know
even had mirror especially for fat
ladies'. She never fitted them before
any other. and this tricky piece Of
looking glass was Of the sort that
lengthens out the figure. When the
customer had paid her bill and the
dress was sent home she usually had
a good deal of a shock ana felt like
consulting an oculist.
AS rule, it takes long time for
the average woman to realize that she
is getting stout. She keeps on buy
ing checks and plaids until one fine
day she catches an unusually good
view of herself in a mirror or some
one makes an unkind remark.
A case in point occurred a couple OF
years ago when l was in Paris.

cially one woman who weighed over
200 pounds If she weighed an ounce.
She said: II hope you won't mind

Well. she did it. and. although the
gray and silver was very becoming to
her fair hair and complexion, you

her big bust and made her look like a

Alcohol Baths Good.

If one stays awake at night because
of the warn weather, or any restless
ness or nervousness causes one to sleep
fitfully, a sponge-off with alcohol has
refreshing results
A small sponge is used, not well
soaked. It is not necessary to get into
the bathtub to do it.
Squeeze the sponge over the body
and wipe it over the entire surface of
the skin. Apply more alcohol at the
base of the neck. than anywhere else.
This cools the blood going to the brain
and soothes the nerve centers.
1t takes only four or five minutes.
and usually the most restless woman
can sleep for hours after such a spong-
ing. It is far better than cold or
hot bath.

BY this time the geranium win have
become ragged. and unless attention is
given to it will have had its best bloom
CO over your plants carefully, cut off
every faded flower, cut back at least an
inch from all stems and lop off those
stems that are out OF proportion.
Remember that stocky geranium has
more points for blooming than one that
is '1eggy." Also remember that If you
want to grow geraniums in the house next
winter they must not be allowed to bloom
during the summer. Keep them pinched
back and nip off all buds whenever they
form.
Possibly your geranium bed has not
been doing as well as you would wish
this IS probably because you have been
trying 10 grow the plants that have
been in the house all winter. You never
have as great success unless YOU set out
plants grown from cuttings taken IN the
early spring or late winter.
AS the geranium is a gross feeder at-
ter it's midsummer trimming, # should
be well soaked once a week with manure
water. So treated the plans win bloom
until frost
This is the time OF year when few
persons want hot desserts. Anything
wi 4 fruit is acceptable. AS the doctors all
advise cooked instead of raw fruit for
summer eating. the new way of making
peach cup should be learned by every
housewife.
It is prepared as follows; Pare eight
large. soft, ripe peaches; cut them in
halves. Put aside twelve halves and mash
the remaining quantity. Add to them the
yolks Of two eggs. half cupful OF milk.
a tablespoonful Of butter which has been
melted. half teaspoonful of salt, one and
a half cups of flour, and one teaspoonful
of baking powder.
