1T STOPS COLLISIONS
REGARDLESS OF THE
ENGINEER
Especial to The Press)

DETROIT, May 25.-A device cal
culated to make railway collisions
impossible was successfully tried
out here before a committee of 20
members of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers and the Michi-
gan state railway commissioner.
The system, which is actuated by
electricity, makes it impossible for
train to enter a block occupied
by another. The test was so con-
elusive in it's results that the state
commissioner will probably make it
the basis of new legislation erlative
to railway safety equipment in
Michigan.
The test was made on the Pere
Marquette tracks. First two loco
motives equipped with the new de-
vice were started toward each other
on the same track AS soon as they
were both in the block equipped for
the test, the device shut off the
power, applied the air brakes auto
matically on both locomotives and
they came to a standstill inside of
040 feet.
The next test was made with
heavy freight trains of 80 or 40 cars
each, and finally a test was made
with a passenger coach, carrying
the engineers committee, attached
to the trains. In each instance the
system worked admirably.
The automatic closing of the
throttle and application of the "air'
is accomplished by the closing of
an electrical circuit. When loco
motive enters a block already &C.

WATER RELIEF MEASURES

An order was adopted by the city
council last night cutting out auto
matte sprinklers and making it
compulsory during sprinkling hours
to hold the nozzle in the hand. This
action was taken through a resolu.
ton introduced in the city council
by r. l.. Dalke.
Water and the relief of the water
famine occupied a good portion of
the time of the city council last
night. A delegation of women from
the lower portion of Lidgerwood
which had been turned down in its
call on Mayor Pratt, visited the
city council. Mrs. A. c. Toms was
the spokesman and painted a vivid
picture Of what the people in her
locality have put up with recently

This is photo of the late H. II.
Rogers, the real genius of the Stan
dard OIL who got his start as a
newsboy many years ago. 1t was
the experience he gained from
carrying routes and selling papers
at Fairhaven, Mass, that gave him
an insight to the great things he
was to accomplish later in life
From newsboy he went into a
grocery store for a short time, and
with 5000 that he had saved up by
handling papers and working in the
grocery store he left Fairhaven for
the Pennsylvania oil fields, where
ne started an oil refinery. When
the Standard Oil Co. was started,
Rogers went in on the ground floor
and his field experience and pers-
picuity made him such valuable
man that he soon dominated the
Standard Oil. Hhe learned the les
son of saving. through the expert
ence he gained as a newsboy. 1t is
a lesson that any boy is fortunate
in learning, as some of the most
prominent men of the present time
We're at some time in their life a
newsboy. 1t is a valuable expert
ence and you should not hesitate
to let your boy sell papers on the
street or carry route. Some very
valuable routes are at The Press for
the asking by the right kind of a
boy, and they can be had by calling
at the Circulation Department of
The Press. 116 Division street.

forth that possibly the council
might order an investigation of the
charges of irregularity in the award
of the contract.
A desire to have the work started
and completed within the present
year carried the day with the coun.
Gil and resulted in the order to
have the roll confirmed

endorsed, and the same forwarded
to Washington. He expected his
money within a few days, but up
to last Monday had not received the
legal tender.
Becoming impatient, the young
man wrote to the head of the de-
partment at Washington, saying
that if the money was not for

Sunday night he dreamed his wife
had hanged herself, he says. and
wakened in a frenzy Of terror to
find her missing from his side. He
heard a strange noise In the attic,
and, still half under the influence of
his nightmare, made rush for the
attic. His terror was checked when
he found Mrs. Born contemplating
