All Seckinu Efficiency.

The railroad man has been trained
to caution, to take the safe side In
every case Of doubt, to regard train or
ders as sacred. For never a moment
a he forget the strict observance Of
signals, the need Of being alert, to
meet every emergency. The slightest
rift in his armor Of caution may mean
his own life, the life Of his passengers
or fellow employees, and. while the
statement may be questioned by those
unfamiliar with the railroad man,
wrecks are the result Of faults OF
judgment, more than of complete dis
regard of signals or orders.
But the want of Judgment is to be
as severely criticised as the want Of
caution, and it is to bring the chance
of human error down to the smallest
possible minimum that railroad men
are today training in fficiency.

BAGGAGE CARS AS BUFFERS
Newspaper Comments on Apparent
Advantages and Projections A.
forded by Placing In Rear.

Three objections to the proposed
placing of baggage cars last instead
Of first in railway trains have been
advanced. First, that it would neces-
state large expenditures In changing
the present station arrangements for
taking on and putting on baggage.
Second, 1t would compel abolition Of
the much-enjoyed observation car"
Third, it would not give the desired
safety, for, If steel, would be forced
through or climb the cars in front.
II these are the only arguments to
be made against the plan, it's advo-
Gates needn't be worried, for answers
to each of them are easy. Many
trains are already run with one or
more baggage cars in the rear; there
fore to run all trains that way would
involve no great trouble and expense.
AS for observation cars, they are too
few to need very serious consider
alton. and their joys. though real.
would be abandoned readily by the
them if the members were convinced
that the general safety depended on
1t. Lastly, the baggage car in the
rear, even II of steel. would not have
the prophesied i'll effects on other
steel cars, and to any would be some
little protection, whatever it's mate
rial.
These remarks do not constitute q
demand for the suggested change:
they only mea that it has certain
apparent advantages hat reality Of
which has not been disproved.-New
York Times.

What So Precious
AS q Healthy Baby?
Every Y0Hngyfer Can Hove Fine
Digestion II C3Upn q Good
Baby Laxative:

In spite Of the greatest personal
care aud the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is a fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a l~axatiye-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
lions. It can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced OF its merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and it's frequent
use does not cause it to lose its ef-
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, ETC., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James

HEAVY COST TO ROADS
RAIL LINES SPEND AN IMMENSE
AMOUNT ON TIME.
Clocks and Watches Must Be Kept
Absolutely correct-smali Army
Of Experts Employed to See
That They Are So.

What a vast amount of money q
gigantic railway system has invested
In time! One large western system
has 1883 clocks on its system in the
various offices, shops, cars. on loco
motives and ever steamships. A
corps of watch and clock makers Is
employed by the railway company to
care for these delicate pieces Of ma
chinery In keeping them properly
cleaned and oiled. One hundred and
twenty-six Of these clocks are known
as standard" clocks and are of the
1926 regulator variety, such as are
found only in the finest jewelry estab-
lishments for the timing Of their cus
toners watches.
These clocks were purchased for
the operation Of trains, that en-
ployes' watches may be compared
with al accurate clock before start
ing on their trips. This means a big
investment to the railway company.
One hundred and five are designated
as time recording instruments and
are installed in the various shops
where they are used for the double
purpose Of showing workmen the time
and for recording the exact hour and
minute, as we'll as the month and the
day of the week men go In and out
OF their respective shops.
The beautiful ferry boats plying
between Ferry Point and San Fran
cisco must be fully equipped with
timepieces in the pilot house, as well
as engine and boiler rooms. For this
purpose as well as officials business
cars. etc, a particular style Of clock
must be used-one without a pendu-
lum, which is fitted with balance
wheel and hairspring, closely resem-
bling an enlarged watch movement.
Clocks must also be used in the
electrical time detector systems In
recording the rounds of the night
watchmen. Another, a portable style,
is carried In a leather case over the
watchman's shoulder as a turist car
ries a kodak.
Split-second watches, called horse
timers or monographs. are also a
AlSCeoodIy part VI Lie CulSI CIloIHlSl .
laboratories, and the engineer Of
tests has a number of such instru-
ments necessary In making numerous
tests. Electrical departments also re
quire a number OF these delicate
watches.
Few passengers riding the trains
realize what a large sum of money
the company has invested in time
pieces for the safety of passengers,
train crews and equipment. All these
clocks must be cleaned and oiled ey-
cry II months. and in some places
more frequently. The Standard
clocks are never permitted to become
more than thirty seconds in error,
either fast or slow, and phenomenal
records have been made by some OF
those regulators. Several have run
for ninety days with absolutely no
variation, others for thirty and sixty
days.

Favor Storage Batteries.

Prussia's state railroads, after an *
perience of many years, in the use
of storage battery cars on their sys-
TEN. have found that, without max
ing any radical changes in the stand

propulsion may be applied successful
ly in respect Of both operation and
economy. The cost OF operating the
zoe ears of this type on these rail
ways works out at only LIS cents
per horsepower per hour.

Perpetual Motion.

One may well be sure that there Is
no perpetual motion machine" For
this purpose machines have been con-
structed from time i~mmemorial, but
nothing has ever come of it. Men have
gone mad or the subject, but without
any practical results. 1t was demon
strated long ago by Sir Isaac Newton
and De la Hire that perpetual motion
is impossible of attainment. Even the
solar system, the most wonderful ma
chine of which we have any knowl-
edge, will run down in the course OF
time, some say in about $11, 900, 900 of
years from now.
