ONE REAL CAUSE OF so MANY
RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

"Brokem rails, due to cold weather,
is claimed by railroad officials to haye
resulted in more railroad wrecks this
spring than from any tlother cause, .
said travelling man at local hotel,
"but if the real facts were made known
to the public the Investigations would
prove that the railroads i'm large
measure are to blame through failure
to provide better roadbed and stronger
rails to cope with the modern equip
ment which passes 'over it.
The Modern Rolling Stock.
Compare the modern rolling stock
of today with that used twenty years
ago and you will note remarkable
change" continued the travelling man,
who has mad years of experience in the
railroad service "The latest type of
locomotive weighs l4O tons, while the
old style engine which is fast being
run into the junk heap, weighs from
fifty to sixty tons. There is diff
ference of nearly eighty tons in their
weight. vet the roads have increased
the weight of their rails from fifty
six to sixty pounds. The eastern
roads are using rails which weigh 10
pounds to the yeard, and plan to use
heavier ones in this years construc-
ton.
"Another thing which the railroads
of the west have passed up entirely
is the increase in length of ties. The
standard tie, adopted years ago meas
ured eight feet in length To stand
the strain of the heavier rolling stock
tie at least nine feet in length
should be used.
Ties Not of as Good Quality.
"The railroad ties of today are not
of as good quality as those used years
ago as the chloride of zinc and other
mixtures are being used to preserve
them.
"With the monster 40 ton locomo-
tives drawing heavy cars of solid steel
and concrete over ninety pound rails
at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
it is no wonder that wrecks occur so
frequently.
"If our state and government off
Gals would pay more attention to laws
governing the equipment used in the
construction of railroads rather than
the passage of freight and passenger
rate laws, the railroad accidents would
be decreased. Something should be
done to promote the safety of the pas
sengers."

Mr. Young has been "a brakeman for
several years, for the Chicago and
Northwestern road. and was engaged in
switching in the yards, when the acct
dent happened. A car was being
brought into the yard, and Mr.. Young
went to make coupling on the
Rock street crossing. He started to
step upon the pilot and apparently
either slipped or missed his footing
and fell with his left leg across the
rail- The leg was not run over, but
was scrubbed along, dragging Mr.
Engineer John Mellor of the switch
engine heard him and stopped the en-
CINE.
Necessary to Back Engine.
1t was necessary to back the en-
CINE TO clear the injured man of the
pilot Then the engine crew and Others
who had been attracted by the shout
ing, ran to Mr.. Young's assistance
and carried him into Mayer Bros.
office. where first aid was given to
him. The engine crew at once no
titled the freight depot officials, and
DR.. Holman was gotten, and Louis
Mayer dashed up the street with
his automobile and carried the physi-
clan to the shop. five or six minutes
after the accident. From there the
injured man was taken to local
hospital where his injuries were
dressed
Extent of the Injury.
The injury extended from the calf
of the leg to near the hip, and the
skin was rolled up, leaving a foot or
more of flesh exposed. The skin was
brought down and sewed together,
after the foreign substance had been
washed from the wound. The knee
cap was all right, and no bones broken
or arteries severed. Unless blood
poison should result from infection
from foreign substances, the limb is
expected to heal up rapidly.
Mr.. Young is a married man, but
Eagles, and will draw benefit.

SOME RECIPES

To make mock goose that will taste
like the real bird get two pounds or
more of pork steak. not chops, lean and
without bone, two pounds of onions,
stale loaf, sage, pepper and salt.
Take meat tin, fairly deep, suitable
for roasting. Cut the steak into small
pieces, peel and wash the onions Qarge
ones preferred, half boil the latter and
chop as for stuffing. Save the onion
water for gravy later. Rub little dried
sage among the chopped onion and with
bread crumbs, salt and pepper make
into stuffing, moistening with the onion
water.
Now place a layer of bread crumbs on
the bottom of the meat tin, which
should be previously creased to pre-
vent burning. Then put a layer of
pork steak cut into pieces with pep
per and salt. on top of the bread
crumbs. Next put good layer of sea-
soned stuffing on top of the meat, then
another layer of meat and stuffing al
ternately until the tin is full. Let a
layer of bread crumbs lie on top to
brown.
When slightly cooked pour some of
the onion water into the tin TO keep
the ingredients moist and keep adding
the gravy if required. Serve with ap-
pie sauce.
Seasonable salad-One of the incest
salads al this season is one of sliced
topatoes, chopped green peppers and
sprinkling of minced onion. Chill the
salad and send it to the table with
French dressing.
Broiled squabs-Split the squads
through the back and breast, brush
with melted butter or lay a slice of
bacon on each half and set into hot
oven for IL minutes. If not Drowned

COLLEGE SUFFRAGE CLUB

There is some talk in st. Louis of a

much greater influence than more
