WABASH BLOCK SIGNALS

clear. When q train enters
upon a circuit, this has the ct.
feet of switching the battery OF
and the signal goes to stop Of
its own weight and remains
there indefinitely, or SO long
as the train is In the block.
The apparatus is SO sensi-
tive that any metallic contact
from rail to rail, such as a
hand car or a crow bar laid
across the track, will set the
signals at danger.
The signals are located so
that the enginemen OF trains
get sufficient view approaching
them to stop a train before
passing a signal.
The block signal rules under
which Wabash trains operate
are standardized by the Amer
lean Railway Association, and
the practice generally adopted
Is that a train finding a signal
at danger on double track will
come to a full stop and then
proceed under control. until the
next clear signal is reached.
On single track, trains finding
signals at danger must come
to stop and be preceded by
a fiagman until the next clear
signal Is reached. Thus the
rules provide for absolute safety
IN train operation.

Relgionists chided about their ina
bility to agree on points of faith might
point out that they differ only in Incl
dentals and not essentials, whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science OF living. A week
ago you would have died if you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm at all. One
variety says: Eat meat, lots of it, to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals, laugh; it
makes the food digest" Others insist
silence is never so golden as at the
table.

corn cut from the cob-four to six

to avoid overlooking the corn, which
requires much less time.

Surely all suffering is not caused by

some suffering is TO test our faith, re-
