The Kinsey, Ohio, Train Wreck.

Only by good fortune did the derailment
Of a train on the c., II. & y. lire at
kinsey, Ohio. Saturday night fail to reach
the rank of a disaster of first magnitude
In the record of American railway slaugh-
ter. Ten passengers were hurt, one per-
haps fatally. The train was running
about fifty miles an hour tn make up f1r
lost time. How familiar that sounds. 1t
is almost formula in the narration of
train wrecks in this country. In these
circumstances the tracks spread and two
coaches were thrown from the rails, one
Of them turning completely over. 1t was
just by a miracle that every person in
that car was not killed.
Why did these rails spread? Is this
not another case of overtax,ng the equip
ment? And consider the matter of the
train behind time trying to make up and
running at q fifty-mile rate. Is this not
another instance of bad schedule making.
Of trying to keep to an impossible time
table with the result of putting every
unit Of the roads physical outfit to the
severest test? Experience proves again
and again that the average railway sched-
ule In this country is only theoretical, and
that trains are normally behind time
This means that they are constantly
trying to make UP lost time. crowding
the blocks. edging over into danger
Dones, deranging dispatchers systems
and pounding the rails at breaking
rate, with the result that with appalling
frequency the margin of safety is reached
and passed. and the newspapers of the
country are called upon to record more
catastrophes and further additions to the
rolls Of railroad victims.

closely watching these recurring disas-
ters. Ii surely has material enough tc

Motion Picture Fires and panics.

Three and a half years ago a mo-
tion picture fire at Boyerstown, Pa.
caused panic in the exhibition
hall and nearly two hundred lives
were destroyed in the rush and by
the flames. Following this catastrophe
risid regulations governing such exhibi-
tons were adopted In many cities, and It
was thought that the danger OF both
fire and panic had been virtually elimi-
mated. Saturday night. however. Penn

Great Orchard Growth

DR.. George M. Twitchell, who mas just
returned from lecture trip in New
Hampshire, is enthusiastic over the pros
poets of Maine orchards.
s'More than 100, 900 apple trees were set
out in Maine last year." he says, "and
think that number will be exceeded during
the coming summer. do not mean that
there is to be any great boom in the Or
charding, but strong and steady growth.
1t is surprising to note the number OF
men from other states who are coming
to Maine to buy land for orchards.
81 have received within a short time
letters from men in. New York, Penn
sylvania and so far west as Missouri, in
quiring about opportunities for purchas-
ing orchards, or land suitable for
the cultivation Of orchards, which shows
that the people of the country are waking
up to the fact that Maine is great apple
state.'
