SUBSTITUTE FOR MULE
Railroad Now Uses Electric
Tractor.

AS a substitute for horse and mule
teams for transferring loaded freight
cars from one station to another, the
Pennsylvania railroad company has
built an electric tractor-a giant cleo
trio automobile-which will do the
work of twenty mules. To determine
the strength of the tractor, the COM
pany arranged a tug-of-war between
it and steam locomotive.
Two freight cars were put between
the tractor and the locomotive. The
power of the latter was first turned on,
and after the two cars and the tractor
had been pushed a short distance, the
electric current was applied very grad
ually. The power in the locomotive
and the tractor was Increased until
each exerted it's full strength. The
motor developed the stronger power,
pushing the two cars and the steam
locomotive to such an extent that the
wheels of the latter slipped on the
track.
The tractor is equipped with two
motors, each having a capacity of
twenty horse power. 1t weighs 2s,S50
pounds, each wheel alone weighing a
ton. The wheels are 60 inches in di.
ameter and are fitted with hard rub
Der tires similar to those used on auto
mobile trucks. The trucks straddle
the railroad tracks which, in the city
streets are laid flush with the pave
ment.

tor, it can start draft of six loaded
f1fty-ton cars on the mountain grade
of the Pennsylvania railroad--that
part of the railroad from Altoona, Pa.

l19 FIRES DURING
ONE WEEK N MAY
State Fire Marshal Estimates
Loss at About $780,. -.
600.
eNational News Association,

(Nat1Onai news ASSOcldItOnI
INDIANAPOLIS, May 19-During
the second week of May there were
119 fires and loss of $206,0 in In
diana, according to the estimate of w.
j.. Longley, state fire marshal.
The fire marshaPs estimate is based
on information which is not regarded
as official, but 1t serves to give some
idea of the steady and overwhelming
loss by fre-much of which can be
prevented by proper care and safe
guards.
In addition to the financial losses
during the second week of May, human
life was added to the toll. One young
man met death in burning house.
Three others died as the result of
burns received when clothing took
fire at kitchen stoves.
The first week in May showed 81
fires and a loss of $415,950, an aver
age of about $4,000 for each fire. Dur
ing the second week there were more
fires, but smaller total loss, the av-
erage loss for each FIRE being $1,750.
Combining the figures for the first
two weeks in May, it becomes appar-
rent that in fourteen days there has
been fire loss of nearly three-quar-
tiers of million dollars in Indiana.
This is at the rate of $4,000 daily.
Every day, in Indiana, a big fortune
goes up in smoke.
Most of Them Preventabie.
Just how much of this daily loss
could be prevented is evidenced by an
analysis of the causes leading to the
fires
Of the 10 fires during Mays second
week, As are classed as being of ''un,
mon of all causes" of fires. Covered
up in this general classification are
all of the many specific causes of fires,
Including arson, carelessness and con.
ditions which breed fires. 1t is con.
sentative to say that at least one-half
of the fres listed as unknown" could
have been prevented.
Defective fiues caused seventeen
fires. Defective flues can, under near
ly all circumstances, be detected by in
vestigation, and remedied before the
fire occurs. These seventeen fires
were preventable.

neys caused % fires. Roofs which are
constantly endangered by locomotives
could be made fire proof, and such
fires prevented.
Under the head of "carelessness'
are listed 90 fires, due to defective
wiring, overheated stoves, burning Of
trash, cigar Stubs and matches and
matches. Proper care would have
prevented most Of these fires.
Four cases of supposed arson were
reported. and other Ares were due to
explosions, lightning, spontaneous com
bustion, etc.
Analysis of fire losses always shows
that most fires could have been pre-
vented by simple precaution and care

element of appearing to be attack of the who are

The wonder is that the present method of election
has produced as good men as it has, but if they
selected other engaged in educational work are
competition would not only raise the standard still
higher, but it would give to the better in the
work opportunities for still further advancement.
All other persons engaged in educational work are

required to have training experience school work.
