But in the present situation Mr..

Locomotive engineers SIT for hours
at the throttle in a cramped position,
the mind is taxed to the full limit, the
body at a terrible strain. The per-
centage of deaths from kidney disor-
der is very high among locomotive
engineers and 1t is asserted that this
is due in a large measure to the con-
tinual Jar of the engine. With a
view to ameliorating these conditions
an inventor has contrived a portable
back rest made of canvas. which is
attached to the ses9 while the upper
end is secured to coil springs, which

cient, particularly on long runs.

with the Spain Of yesterday, when Al

the whole situation. It will not be
