been a good man, the railroad COM

not been drunk while on duty.
But" said the brotherhood, there
is no telling when a man who gets
drunk of duty may take notion
to get drunk on duty; and we do not
intend to take any chances on having

why his heart failed him. II is also

that Is all. Some day they will do

II is safe to say that no other
union, club or organization of any
sort applies quite such heroic treat
ment to undesirable citizens as the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers. One thing that the brother
hood most strenuously insists upon Is
that its members should not drink.
Thirty-ive members were expelled
for getting drunk in 1909, and their
shame was publicly proclaimed in the
journal. The treatment does not
stop here, by any means. The broth
erhood will not risk the lives of its
members and the general public by
permitting a drinking man to run an
engine. When a man has been duly
coveted of drinking, and punished
according to the laws of the order,
the facts are laid before the proper
authorities on the road that employs
him. and his discharge is demanded.

High Flying.

n j. Armstrong Drexel. who in
his Bleriot monoplane reached the
astonishing height OF 6,750 feet the
other day at Lanark, has not over
colored the story OF his experiences
the height limit cannot be very far
away. lie speaks of the "Intoler-
able cold" which Is not surprising
while driving at full speed more
than a mile above sea level. His
breath emerged In white yapor. his
hands we're almost frozen. But.
what Is more serious. the motor
began to weaken. and the climb
through thinning air was retarded:
In four minutes he seemed to ascend
but fifty feet. Very prudently he
desisted before his hands should be
made quite helpless by the numbing
cold and dropped a mile in four
minutes, landing not at the starting
point. as he had intended. but fifteen
miles away. Il is thrilling story
which fiction writer's will no doubt
paste in their scrapbooks. but the
significant thing is the apparent ap-
proach to the limit OF the machine

that he will not Gallagher said to
