killed and 43 injured, some of them
very seriously. The wreck is thought
to have been caused by spreading

wrecked cars were struggling to es-

the Are box. The splintered cars
burned rapidly and the three slain pas
sengers were partly burned. Scores of
persons were rescued as the flames
were scorching their clothing or burn
ing their flesh.
David Siegel, the Cleveland man,
was held by the wreckage for an hour
while the fire burned within a few
water from the tender and kept the
fire from reaching him. Eventually
he was rescued, although his right
arm was cut off at the elbow. He also
suffered from burns and bruises.

biliousness, but it may also be kidney

Whatever the cause, it is time to dis

Details Making for Neatness and Du-
rability Worth Remembering
by the Amateur.

Neatness is always a requisite Of
good sewing, and besides the fact that
durability is increased. there is a sat-
isfaction in knowing that the inside
of a garment need not be withheld
from critical eye. Binding the seams
is little thing. but most effectual in
the attainment of the neatness that
marks the careful sewer.
II 1t Is difficult to adjust binding,
the edges of seams can be pinked-a
method In favor with tailors. There
is no fraying of the edges. and the
bulky line Is obviated.
Hens of heavy material can be sue
cessfully and neatly finished II the
raw edge of just one turn be stitched
down underneath a pliable tape OF the
same color. Two rows of stitching
are necessary. but the scheme is
worth a trial.

It is better to shrink washable ma

To do this all properly will take an

CARING FOR TRIFLES
MATTER OF IMPORTANCE TOO
FREQUENTLY OVERLOOKED.
In This Respect the French Woman Is
Superior to Her American Sister
Take the Handkerchief
for Example.

Were the American woman as care
ful of little things as is the thrifty
Frenchwoman. her reputation for econ
omy would grow as her possessions
increased.
Our French sisters take personal
care of their own small belongings.
They would just as soon trust ker-
chief to a laundTess as they would the
piece of rare old family lace.
French thrift demands that the me-
rest bit OF sheer linen last its allotted
time, and that 1t shall do so requires
that great pains be taken with 1t. II
madam has a maid, then she must
be thoroughly instructed as 20 her
duties along this line, and handker-
chiefs are expected to be her special
charge. II. however, the little menage
does not boast OF such luxury as
personal maid. then madam must do
her own washing.
In the first place. her handkerchiefs
are never allowed to become unduly
soiled. and after once using are put
into small linen bag that always
hangs beside the toilet table. When
half a dozen or more have been col
lected. they are put to soak in an
earthen bowl filed with cool water
and suds made from the best of wash
ing soap. In this they should remain
for half an hour. after which they are
carefully rinsed in more cool water.
Then comes the thorough washing of
them in hot water in which spoonful
of boraX has been dissolved. This is
done as gently as possible by patting
and rubbing. and for this last many
women use child's toy washboard.
which is exactly the right size for the
purpose. In this way no threads of
the fine material are broken, disas-
ter which is difficult to remedy. The
final rinsing is also done through
many cool waters until every particle
of soap is gone, and then comes the
climax of the entire performance.
The handkerchiefs are placed in a
bowl of milk into which have been put
a few drops of essence of violet. which
is strong and of blush tinge. and
this will give to them the pure white
color which is so necessary. From
this each is taken and partially dried
in a clean towel and at once ironed.
No starch is used. for the milk takes
the place Of that. and the little IRON

1857 postofflces throughout the
United States which had safes OF

contents stolen. There is an aver.
age of more than four safes day
blown in postoffices alone.
In the five years from 1904 to 1908,
inclusive. 1914 safes were blown. and
the burglars got away with booty, an
average of over 1875 per year Less
than one per cent. of these safes are
20 minutes in the hands of the yegg.
The great majority are blown in seven,
ten and fifteen minutes.
One day recently, about noon, a one
horse team was seen leave a Boston
store. Upon the vehicle was loaded
! apparently an ordinary, medium sized
safe. This was an everyday occur
renee, but a man who followed the
team to a stone quarry in Somerville
witnessed unusual proceedings.
Turning in at the quarry two men
unloaded the safe and placed it in an
upright position, facing pile of stone.
They waited for two other men, who
came from another direction, and at a
given signal with a dull boom the
safe was blown up. AS usual, hole
had been bored in the top through
which explosive was poured and a
fuse inserted by a hired expert dyna-
inter. The door was blown some 70
feet away. Picking this up, the men
placed 1t beside the safe and took a
picture Of the wreck. They had pre-
viously photographed the safe intact.
but the second photograph shows the
safe as intact as ever minus the door.

safe is seen what is termed grille
