Beware of Loose Speech.

Keep the tongue from unkindness.
Words are sometimes wounds; not

Harmon developed such accuracy that he
hit the most vulnerable points on the i'm

He threw the bombs from a height Of 80
feet while flying at a speed OF forty-five
miles an hour. And the aeroplane is
practically unhitable when ii has reached
any altitude. It is almost impossible TO
reach a balloon with a rife shot, much
less an aeroplane.

SAFETY APPLIANCE
STANDARDS MADE
New Rules Promulgated by
Commerce Commission.
TO COST NATION $5O,OOO,OOO
While the Order Does Not Make
Radical Changes in the Equipment
of Railroads for the Protection of
Employees, Yet There Are Many
Set FOrth-RuIes Not Binding.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday made public the order estab-
fishing uniform standards for the equip
ment of freight cars with safety april
ances. The order is based on a law en-
acted by Congress at the last session
and is the result of a long-continued
agitation for uniformity in the equip
ment
A statement Of the commission explains
as follows:
The order does not make any radical
change in equipment. It's main purpose
and intent Is to require that all classes
OF freight cars shall be equipped alike
in ali parts of the country. as such uni
formity is regarded as highly conducive
to the safety of employees.
"All the appliances covered by the COM
missions order are now used on cars.
with the exception that two additional
ladders are required on certain classes
OF cars and two additional sill steps are
required on ali cars.

has been impossible 10 secure the de-
sired uniformity. The change which will
be brought about by the new order will
compel all cars 20 be equipped alike. and
the commission can enforce the desired
uniformity.
1t is not expected that compliance
with the order will cause any undue ex-
pense 10 the railroads. as the order ap-
