Accidents Cause Experts TO Differ as
TO Its Safety.
James T. Harahan's tragic death In
a car Of wooden construction, which
was crushed in a collision on the nli-
nois Central railroad, has revived In
railroad circles all the discussions OF
experts regarding the safety of steel
cars as compared with wooden cars,
Contrary TO general Impressions. 1t is
not settled yet whether the steel car
provides the safety that has been
claimed for it, and in many quarters
the wooden car is still regarded as
preferable.
According To the opinion Of one rail-
road expert yesterday, the only advan /.
tage of the steel car is the absence of
material that is likely 10 burn. He
pointed out. however, that the days of
Pintsch gas lighting were ended. and
that now all cars as a rule are lighted
with electricity which has eliminated
the dangers OF fire even where the
wrecked cars are OF wooden constr1Ic-
ton.

wreck are now less than they are in a

THE DAILY SHORT STORY
Their Anniversary.

Colts had bought a brass fern
dish, a picture of ''The Hanging
of the Crane, " and set up house
keeping in their five rooms and
bath. But they were still keen
for celebrating an anniversary
when one hove in sight. -.
The evening prior to the date,
which he had carefully encircled
IN his note book, Goitt came home
looking pleased with himself. He
seemed to think he was pretty
keen at resembling dates.

Well have dinner together at one
of the cafes" a-
Of course, all this sounded pref
ty good to Mrs. Goitt. They
salved back and forth for some
time, while they confded in each
other what a fearfully punk time
they had had all the earlier part
of their lives, as compared to the
blissfulness of the four years just
ending. Goitt said they would do
things up right, the next evening,
and start all over again, just as if
they hadn't been married more'n
a week-holding hands beneath
the tablecloth at dinner, mebby, |

wee trifle. Il supposed of course

Goitt, in subdued tone, Il don't

Indeed l can't. "
Been to a party this after

ally: 81 s'pose just because I
wanted to pull off a little eating
stunt this evening you had to hike
out somewhere this afternoon
and stuff yourself"
"Oh, WE'LL" put in Mrs. Goitt
for the sake of keeping peace, Il

cream, come to thin of it."
