claims no inventive genius has come for
ward with any method by which trains
automatically can be stopped to prevent
a wreck. Block signals have proved a
great advance step in safeguarding
travel. but ,.ley do not bring wrecks to

And still no wizard of the rail has
wrested from the unknown the secret of

begin to approximate the prize that waits
the solution of the problem. But there
has been no solution. And the cost and
waste of weeks go on increasing every

FLYER IS WRECKED,
 ONLY TWO INJURED,

Westbound Iron Mountain pas- senger train No. 5. due here at 1920 this afternoon, suffered an accident which might easily have caused d loss of many lives, when a kink in the rails caused three sleepers on the rear end of the train to be thrown into the ditch just this side of Vaudeville.
 Except for the shock suffered by one unusually nervous lady passenger and a broken leg sus- tained by the negro cook in the dining car, no injuries were suff- cred by any of the passengers or train crew. The woman passen- ger continued on herjourney with out giving her name, while the negro cook was brought to the hospital here, for treatment.
 There was little delay to the train because of the accident. The Cannon Ball does not stop at Vaudeville, but because there is a wide curve and a hill to climb at the place where the accident oc- cured, she was not travelling at her fastest speed when the ditch ing of the sleepers happened. - Daily Texarkanian, Tuesday.
