His service as fireman made it neces- sary for him to do heavy work re- quiring strength and endurance and should be sufficient proof that he was physically able to do the comparatively lighter work of an engineer. Assuming that Doherty's back was lame as he claimed, making it impossible for him to reverse his engine, this ought not to have been a contributing cause to the accident, as reversing the engine, as stated before, was unnecessary. The only thing, apparently lacking, there fore, being good judgment on his part. Favor Two Years Experience For En-
 gineers.
 to allow an engineer with less than one years actual road service on freight trains to run local passenger trains; and through express trains should be handled by engineers having at least two years experience in road service, and would suggest that all enginemen be required to pass physical eX animation and be frequently re-ex- amined on the physical characteristics Of the road and all the rules required to be understood by engineers. They should be in possession of a certificate signed by the Superintendent, Master Mechanic and Road Foreman of En-
 
 certifying that they have passed these examinations and are fully qualified in every way to be trusted with high speed trains. Before issuing such cer- tifcates, the past records of the men should be carefully considered, and a Road Foreman of Engines or some other competent representative of the Railroad Company, should accompany them over the road until personally satisfied of their competency
 Furthermore, I would urge that em- ployees of all classes of railroad service who take part in moving main line trains be questioned frequently about their knowledge of train rules and re- gulations and only those who are fully qualified be allow to assist in train operation. A record of these examina.- tions with a signed statement from the person making them should be filed with other service papers of em- ployees thus examined

FOR WINDOW DRAPERY
TIME TO GIVE THOUGHT TO CUR
TAINS is NOW.
Material Desired May Be Bought
Cheaper at This Season Than
LateNSuggestions as to the
Best Color Schemes.

Now that autumn is approaching it
They may be purchased now at small
cost.
For living or dining room nothing
could be prettier than the green ana
yellow scheme. II the walls are
green, brown or gray, have soft yell
low next the window and green to
cover the woodwork.
Soft yellow silk muslin hemstitched
Is beautiful, but the same delicate
shade of cheeseclOth will give exactly
the same effect. Cheesecloth may
sound rather poor, but when hanging
at a window with the light back of it
nothing could be prettier, and certain
ly nothing less expensive. Make the
curtains perfectly straight with a
wide hem. Put them on a brass rod
and they will hang softly, giving a
peculiar light that is unusually sug-
gestive of mellow sunlight
Over the window frame a heavier
material is necessary. For all living
rooms cretonne or English chintz in
cotton poplin is no more expensive
and much more elegant and artistic.
Poplin can be purchased in all shades
of green, brown or red, and is a good
substitute for velours in winter, as
1t looks quite as warm, and, unlike
velours, it need not be made by an
expert to look we'll
n,1fc
straight, the same as those next the
window, using a width for each side.
Hem across the bottom and attach the
other end to rod, or tack to either
side Of the window frame, as they will
not be drawn, but left to hang plain at
the sides. Across the top of the win
dow a valance is good. Cut the pop
lin in half lengthwise, making a cas-
ing, with heading, and have it twice
as wide as the window. Run the rod
through the casing
For bedroom white cheesecloth is
advantageous. Cheesecloth washes
like linen, always looks fresh, appar-
emily never wears out and in cOlors
never seems to fade. Pink in a deli
cate shade is also pretty for a bed
room, as the light has a way of shin
ing through it which is very alluring,
almost like a sunset glow
Inside curtains of cretonne may be
made of width of the material less
the width that is taken off for the
pleating. Make box pleats about two
inches wide and the same distance
apart, stitch and put around the sides
and bottom of curtains, also on the
valance. Hang them the same as the
other curtains.
The best quality Of cheesecloth in
all colors can be bought for ten cents
a yard, and silk muslin and cotton
pOplin at 25 cents.

Golden Dream Cake.

Separate the yolks and white of
four eggs, beat the whites with an
egg-beater until you can turn the
bowl wrong side up and the egg white
will hold it's position sOlidly. Then
with the egg-beater beat the yolks for
five minutes when they will be thick
and creamy. Then beating all the
time with beaten, gradually pour in
one cup graduated sugar. Beat until
sugar and eggs form cream, light
and foamy. Then add one-haf tea
spoonful of lemon or vanilla. Last
of all add one cup of pastry -four, sift-
ed three times, with saltspoon of salt
in it. Fold in the flour very carefully
with a spoon. Turn into a buttered
and well-f1oured tin and bake a pretty
golden brown. In cutting for the
table crease each piece deeply and
then break. To cut sponge cake spoils
the grain and makes it seem heavy.
There is no rising in this cake except
the eggs. But you will find it all
right and most delicious cake.

Move the Carpet.

Every now and then, instead of al
lowing the stair carpet to remain in
exactly the same position as first
placed. the tread of the carpet should
be moved a couple of inches or so
either up or down. This has the
effect of keeping the pile Of the carpet
in a uniform condition, and, besides
retaining the fresh appearance of the
carpet, it helps it to last much longer
than it would II left exactly as laid
1t costs nothing to do this. yet saves

would test it, they would have no one
but themselves to blame for a poo.

1t should be tested by pressing it to
the floor. If the straws spread out
and bend it is a poor broom. If they
remain solid it is a good one.

Imitation Diamonds.

The white sapphire, the white topaz
and rock crystal are commonly sold as
diamonds, but more often limitations
are made Of glass. To recognize these
glass limitations, treatment with acids
is also recommended, which removes
the polish on the facets, while 1t does
not affect the diamond, ruby, sapphire
or emerald. However, an imitation
made of glass yields to the hardness
test, so that chemical test is super
fuous.

For Kitchen Shelves.

Instead of continually buying lace
shelf paper, you will find it much
cheaper in the end to buy coarse tor
chon lace the desired width, sew on a
piece of tape, and tack to the shelf
with small tacks. Whenever dirty,
for years, and your pantry will always
be fresh and attractive.
Shelves for precious china and glass
ware SHOULD have pads of felt to pre-
vent chipping When fra ile plates
must be piled one on another, round
piece of blotting paper placed between
will save breakage.
