What the Railroads Do.

1t seems very simple to see the pas
senger trains run in and out of the
station; to order the freight car and
send the grain to market; to telegraph
to the nearest large town for supplies,
and in "a to As hours have them de-
livered. But it is not so easy and sim
pie as it seems, and there is danger
today that the next great uplift in
business in the United States will find
the railroads, as a whole, sorely taxed
to furnish the transportation needed
for the commerce of the country.
Why? Because a misdirected public
opinion is demanding rates too low,
taxes too high, wages too high, service
too elaborate. and there was not cents
enough to the dollar to meet all these
obligations and still permit the busi-
ness to be attractive enough SO the
man with the dollar will invest it.
Our American railroads have done
good work, and can do better, and it
is to the farmers selfish interest to
see that they are SO treated that they
will be ready at all times to handle
business. To be ready requires con-
srant xpenditure.-Leslie's.

WATCH THE WHEELS CLOSELY
Canadian Experts Declare Defective
Flanses to Be Frequent Cause OF
Railroad Accidents.

The railroad commission has issued
a circular TO motive power foremen
on the Canadian railroads urging the
Importance of renewal of locomotive
wheels before the fianges are oadly
worn. Inspectors In the service OF
the commission report that many loco
motives on passenger trains nave
sharp flanges, in some cases the
fianges being worn down below the
master car builders standard allow
ance gauge Some of these locomo-
tives are running on fast passenger
trains, thus inviting much unneces-
sary risk to the safety of hundreds OF
passengers.
The wearing down of flanges on To-
comotives is only one minor contribu'
tor to the long chapter of railway
accidents. Derailments arise either
from defective equipment, bad track
or faulty switching. AS rule. when
locomotive jumps the track, the ac
cident is ascribed to some peculiar de
feet in the track, rather than to in
sufficient Hanging on the locomotive
1t is undeniable that many supposed
rail defects are in reality the outcome
of defective driving wheel tires. The
Railway Age Gazette tells of 100 railt
on an Illinois railroad being broker
on one trip by a flattened driving
wheel. The recently issued annua
report of the interstate commerce
commission shows that out o.
S,215 derailments on American rail
roads during the year, 3,S47 were du'
to defective equipment, an increase
of 1923. Bad ties, loose spikes, poo
ballastinz, insufficiently flange'
wheels, rail breakages due to flattenei
wheels, all played prominent part il
causing these derailments, Fortunate

Newest Idea for Rail.

normally in contact with the wheels
more wear-resisting, an end which
cannot be attained by hardening the
whole rail, for the shocks and
stresses to which it is subjected
make 1t imperative that it be of not
too hard steel The new rail is made
in two forms: one, as shown by the
sketch, for light traffic. having the
hard-steel strips sunk into the head
and held by setscrews; the other, for
heavy traffic. consisting of three parts
bolted together, the strips being held
between the two parts of the head.
Another feature of this rail is that
the hard Strips may be so laid in, that
web plates, holding the ends of two
lengths of rails together, become SUI
perfiuous. thus insuring shockfree,
smooth and noiseless running.-Popu.

paid four per cent. interest on that
sum. 1t is about the cost of a mod
ern locomotive.
But man is different from loco
motive. He can't pull as much. but he
can push lot more. He can last long
er and run farther than the best loco
motive ever built Most important or
all. he can constantly increase the
capitalization he represents and re-
quire more interest to be paid on 1t,
while the locomotive can never be
worth a cent more than it was when
it left the shop. The circular re-
ferred to continues:
1T rests with you. Make your $685.
600 valuation climb to $4,000. to
100000, to $500,000. Select your food
with care. Treat decently the body
on which your mind depends for its
strength and sanity. Above all, feed
your mind. Read. study and observe.
Like the engine, you can't do your
work unless you stay on the rails and
keep where the boss can find you. Re-
member that no cali boy ever found
an engine in a saloon or other place
of the sort"
There is food for thought in these
words, not only for railroad employees
but for all other young mel-and
young women, too-who are trying to
get on in the world, make success of
their lives, and get the things. the
place and the power they desire.
We hear a great deal now and
then-from failures, idlers or busy
bodies-about young men not having
now the chance" they once had. At
bottom the statement is falsehood.
The world was never so hungry for
really efficient mentor men who can
and will grow up to greater tasks
for men resolute to increase the capi-
talization they represent-as it is to-
day.
Every discovery of science, every
triumph of invention, demands more
and more capable men to operate the
machinery of civilization thus newly
provided. 1t rests with the man-with
each man-to show that he has the
capacity. And real power always gets
paid.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
