OLD LADY SAVES MANY LIVES
with Lantern She Flagped a Fast
Train Just in Time to Avert
Disaster.

Passengers of the Southern's Flor
ida limited were just setting them
selves for supper in the diner the 9TH
er night when suddenly their con-
somme was dashed into their laps as
the brakes ground against the wheels
and the heavy train slowed to an emer-
gency stop. But the homeward bound
tourists who began swearing over the
mlshap changed the tenor of their re-
marks when they learned the reason
of the sudden stop.
Old Mrs. Saylor, going home from a
neighbor's about IL miles south of
Dalton, was walking along the track,
and when she found a broken rail just
beyond a sweeping curve in the track
she knew the limited, due from At
lanta In a few moments, would go
crashing over the embankment un-
less warning came in time.
Mrs. Saylor picked up her skirts and
ran for her home, stumbling over the
rough patch and arriving out of breath
and excited. Her husband, hastily told
OF the broken rail, lighted a red Ian
tern and the two ran back to the
curve and far around it. Just as
they reached the straight stretch of
track the glare of a headlight and a
long blast of a whistle told them
they were barely in time. A swing of
the red light across the track, and the
engineer shut off steam and threw on
the airbrake. The big engine was
brought to stop barely in front of
the broken rail. Then Mrs Saylor and
her husband climbed off the right of
way and went. home again. But that
vii not be the end of the incident, for
the passengers appointed a committee
to call on officials of the road and urge
that substantial reward be sent

ENLIST AID or CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear in
the Fight Against Tuber-
cuIosis.

Just how serious problem tubercu-
losis is to the average church, and in
just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject of an in
vestigation which the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis is conducting in con-
nection with it's plans for tuberculo-
sis day on April 80. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
1t is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial, in the hands of every minister
in the country for his use in connec-
tion with tuberculosis day. Millions
of circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
issued, both from the national office
and from the headquarters of the 45O
anti-tuberculosis associations who will
cooperate in the movement.

Railroad Travel Here and Abroad.

The cost of travelling second class
in Europe with only hand baggage is
about the same as the cost of trav-
cling first class in America with only
hand baggage. The cost of travelling
second class in Europe with baggage
of the average weight is 33 1-3 per
cent. higher than the cost of travelling
in America with the same baggage.
This percentage will not be as large
with smaller amount of baggage; /;
but whatever is paid on the continent
of Europe on that account in the great
majority of cases will be found to be
in excess of the cost here. In Amer
lea the possession of a f1rst-class tick
ct entities the holder to have $50
pounds of large baggage transported
free, while in some parts of Europe
the entire weight is charged for, and
in others a small amount only is free.
In both countries no charge is made
for hand baggage taken along with
him by the passenger, unless the
quantity is excessive.

STOPPING a Train.

According to Signal Engineer ]. A.
Peabody of the Chicago & Northwest.
ern railroad, who investigated the
matter of his own line, the cost of
stopping a train of $50 tons and re.
turning to speed of so miles an hour
is AZ cents.
The cost of stopping a 2O00-ton
train from 35 miles an hour is one
dollar
The officials of another road esti-
mate each stop of six-car passenger
train from As miles an hour at 35
cents, and for 1,5OO-ton train from
Is miles an hour at Sc cents.
The time lost for making a stop on
a level, straight track has been esti-
mated at 145 seconds.
The Winslow mail., 1911-02-04

states have statutes requiring the
blowing of locomotive whistles and
the people of the manufacturing dis
tr1cts are accustomed to use the road
beds as short cuts to and from their
homes.
The regulations of most roads in
the world prohibit this, but here they
are passed over lightly. The num-
Der OF people killed or injured an
nually by the railroads of the United
States is appalling, and while the
sounding of the steam whistle may
save many from untimely graves and
the loss of limbs, yet an army of vic
tlms, due largely to heedlessness, is
the yearly harvest of our steam
lines.
referring to the code of locomo-
tive whistles it may be of interest to
take note of a conflict of justice that
took place in the courts of the state
or Massachusetts some years back,
where the blowing of whistles at
crossings brought out two opinions
in direct opposition to each other.
In the early laws of the common
wealth regulating the operation of
steam trains within the state is a
provision that each locomotive be
equipped with a bell weighing not
less than 35 pounds, and that this
should be rung or the whistle blown
at point 80 rods distant from a high
way crossing.
1t was evidently assumed by the
lawmakers that every locomotive
must necessarily be supplied with a
whistle of sufficient force to give ade-
quate warning when danger threat
ened, and this matter was left to the
Judgment of the constructing com
pan1es rather than to that of the
lawmakers.
This little word cor" which occurs
in the statute to which attention has
Keen called was the cause of the di-
Vision of legal opinion in two his
torical cases, one brought against the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, and the other against the
Boston & Maine.
In the former girl had brought an
action to recover heavy damages on
account of the loss of a limb at
crossing where, 1t was alleged, only
the bell of the locomotive had been
rung while it was set forth in the
statutes the whistle should have been
blown. Judge Sherman, before whom
the case was tried, SO ruled and the
company was called upon to make set
tlement in the sum of $4,000.
Following this suit came that of a
young woman who had been struck at
a crossing on the Boston & Maine,
her injuries resulting in the loss of
both legs. This case came before
Judge Lawton and the word "or'
again figured as the chief point upon
which the gage of justice was to turn.
1t was shown by the road that the
bell had been rung, but that the whis-
tie had not been sounded.
This fact having been established
the judge ruled that the road had
complied with the law and the young
woman failed to recover a penny. This
law has been upon the statutes of
Massachusetts for at least 40 years.
Notwithstanding numerous attempts
to have it changed.
