CIRCULATION
DANGER IN RAILROAD TRAVEL.

The peril Of railroad travelling is
very much less than the timid realize.
The occasional railroad horror sur
charges the public mind with fear,
and some people decline to take the
chance Of being killed as a passenger
which is one to every three million
carried, while the regular death rate is
one to So the nation over.
In 1911, the railroads Of this coun-
try carried almost a billion passengers.
This was equivalent to a ride for two
thirds Of the people in the entire
world. The average distance Travelled
was SO miles. The number of deaths
due TO railroad accidents was about
10000, but only 356 Of the victims were
passengers, including about so train
boys, mail clerks, etc. More than half
the number killed were trespassers
and tramps. More than 5000 were rail-
road employees. This last fact tells
grim and sad story. While careless
ness is responsible for many accidents
to railroad men, it is true that their
safety is not guarded as carefully as
it ought TO be.
The danger to the passenger in rail-
road travel is so small that it is hardly
worth a thought; and the prospect is
that it will be still further reduced
when steel passenger coaches become
common.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The new York. New Haven & Hart
foard railroad has built several pas
senger stations Of terra Gotta. This
is distinct departure in railroad sta
ton construction. Among the places
where the company has used the new
material ere Cedar Hill, Rowayton,
TerryVille, in Connecticut; and West
Barnstable, Foxboro and North Scit-
uate in Massachusetts.
The terra Gotta in these stations is
in the form of hollow blocks, laid in
the walls like ordinary brick They
make thoroughly solid and abso-
lutely safe structure, having under
gone severe fire and strength tests in
the process of manufacture.
In addition to making the stations
freproof, they Also give the stations
the advantage. over frame or brick
buildings, of being warmer in winter
and cooler in sumner This is due to
the hollow spaces, called dead air"
spaces, which make the blocks non
conductors Of heat.
The object in building the new style
stations is not only to,prevent destruc-
ton or damage by fire; it means pos
tive economy, in the long run, be-
cause Of the saving in repairs and
maintenance and insurance premiums.

A STEADY PRICE FOR COAL.

The anthracite operators committee
i'm an announcement recently made
say The operators are very DESTROYS
that nothing shall occur to interrupt
the operation Of the mines, and there
is no thought Of a general advance in

business any event that should force
such an advance would be unfortu-

Referring 10 the price. Of coal they
say that while the prices Of all other
commodities have been steadily ad-
vanci1g to the extent that the high
cost Of living has become a subject
~ investigation by the government,
the price Of anthracite sold by the
large companies has not changed for
nine years When a temporary scar
city, or fear Of scarcity, has given the
opportunity for producers to advance
prices. # has been in every case the
small operator, the so-called indie
pendent, who has taken advantage Of
It. The larger companies have main
tanned their quotations at the normal
level and whenever any Of their out
an abnormal price, the difference has
simply gone into the pocket Of the
retail dealer
The investigation conducted by the
strike commission and all subsequent
Investigations have established the
fact that the prevailing prices are
eminently fair. in view of the fact
that about 40 per cent. Of the anthra-
cite output (the smaller or steam
sizes) has to be sold at less than the
cost Of production in competition with
oituminOus coal
1t has been the consistent purpose
u the operators to secure for the an
elracite industry the steadiness which
IS so essential TO the welfare both of
those engaged in the industry and of
the consuming public. The arrange
ment that has prevailed for the last
nine years has maintained steadiness

under existing conditions, it is not
probable that any better arrangement

TO PROTECT THE BIRDS.

Through the efforts of the American
Game Protective and Propagation as
sociation, hearing on the Weeks bill
for federal protection of migratory
birds has been secured for March 6
before the house committee on agri-
culture at Washington, d. c.
Although the matter of federal pro-
lection of migrants has been agitated
for years, it has never before been
given hearing. and it is extremely
important that all those interested in
the measure should take advantage of
this opportunity and go to Washing
ton to urge the passage of the bill.
Since many states refuse, or are
unable to protect the birds during the
breeding season, the only way they
can be saved from determination is for
the national government to step in.

Presidential Timber.

Mr.. Editor; Uncle Sam was never
short of presidential timber, and once
had a famous rail-splitter.
Old time democracy had an Old
Hickory, and modern democracy has a
Woodrow; but there's quite a differ
ence in quality between that Old Hick-
DRY and the Woodrow of New Jersey.
And there's a fellow big enough

PARCEL POST LETTER DAY.

The farmers are acting in unison
with reference to the obtainment of a
parcels post, and the 18th of March
has been fixed as the date when all
Connecticut farmers will write letters
10 our congressman to give expression
to their sentiments in favor of a par
GELS post, and by united action to give
them force.
Every citizen who is alive to better
and cheaper distributing facilities for
himself recognizes the value of a par
cells post to the people and to the
country. It is surprising that there
IS such a formidable opposition to
it; but this may be set down to self
interest rather than to any wide
spread danger or to deficits likely to
result from it.
The parcel post movement is not
new and it gathers vigor from year to
ear The fact that it is nearer
achieNement than ever before makes
lie opponents Of the bin all the more
Ict.ye
Letters from the farmers will in
effect be a loud voice from the rural
districts.

a Good Idea,

To make little daughters helpful,
one mother originated the following
plan: Each morning she would write
upon a blackboard list of twenty or
more duties for the day-wasning
dishes, sweeping, busting, making beds
etc. A quarter OF these were little
things that even the year old boy
could do, like bringing in kindling or
giving the hens water. Each girl in
turn selected one duty, placing her mi
tiaIs after it. AS soon as a duty was
completed it was erased from the
board. At first the most difficult work
fell to mother" but soon even the
hard tasks were being selected by the
daughters, until they til became pro-
flcient in most of the necessary
branches of homemaking. The plan not
only helped the mother and taught the
daughters, but also served to prevent
Sinking, jealousy and that constant
| nagging which makes life miserable in
many homes.
