SIXTY-FIVE MILE
SPEED IS CHECKED


engineer, but it protects him and his
passengers, or valuable property in
transit, from accident through some
ones mistake or neglect or malicious
ness.
It is admitted that the derail de-
vice, now in general use. many times
has proven a mankiller. It averts the
colliding Of trains at dangerous
places, such as crossings, but when
engines and cars are ditched to bring
this about, the lives of tpainmen and
others are endangered, and many are
injured or killed. This is a faulty
method of assuring the safety of pas
sengers, and should be replaced
speedily by a more humane plan.
Great economy in operation will
result TO railroads installing the Cain
LaBarre Automatic Train Stop, for
loss of life and property are largely
eliminated, and these are staggering
burdens upon the management, as has
been shown. In the operation Of rail-
roads. an ounce Of prevention is
worth ton of cure.
The Railway Automatic Safety APP
pliance Company, of Wilmington. Del
aware, offers a device that does not
forget, nor grow numbed from the
strain of overwork, nor faint in the
cab, nor lose its nerve in a crisis. It's
operation is as sure as the law 81
gravity.
Active business men Of Wilmington
and Philadelphia compose the Rail-
way Automatic Safety Appliance Com
pany, and they are sparing no ex-
pense in placing their appliance be-
fore the railroads and the American
public. Oficers Of the company are:

the 2. J. DUPONT de Nemours Powder
Company IN a responsible capacity He
then became fiscal agent Of the Ma
tional Drainage Commission, created

wonderful benefits to the science OF
railroading in the Cain and La Barre
train stop when he first saw It, and mas
since devoted his time and energy 70
introducing the Automatic Train Stop
TO railroad experts and officials. Tho

Del, Frank S. Garrett a mechanical
and electrical engineering expert OF
that firm also being director Of the
Railway Automatic Safety Appliances
Company.
Expert railroad men, who have wita
messed the working Of the CAMILLA
Barre Automatic Train Stop, declare
that soon it will be as we'll know4
and as familiar as the Westinghouse
air-brake.
Federal View of It
The tests being conducted by the
Train Control Board show that the
device has unusual merit In the
, Third Annual Report of the Block

Since its organization the Board
= has examined plans and specifications
of 149 signal and automatic train stop
3 devices. OF this number only 16 pure
; ~ automatic stop-deyices have been
q considered TO possess sufficient merit
9 to warrant the Board in offering to
7 test satisfactory installations"
