GIVING GREEN HANDS
TRAINING ON CARS
Novel Instruction Method Adopt
ed by Washington Railway
and Electric Company.

An innovation in practical instruction
for Washington motorman and con-
ductor apprentices is in effect today in
the specially constructed car in opera
ton ON the Washington Railway and
Electric Company tracks.
The firsts trip of the instruction car
made over Washington streets today,
when Master Mechanic W. A. Wenner,
from whose design c. P. King. presi-
dent of the company. ordered the car
built. took out a corps of beginners to
show them a street car in operation
under actual conditions.
The special car is designed to give
the embryo motormen and conductors
first-hand information, practical opera
tion, and instruction. Heretofore the
traction company maintained what is
known as a skeleton car" All the in
tricate mechanism, motors. and wiring
necessary in the equipment of a street
car is visible. Trained operators handle
the car for the beginner. New men are
under the care of seasoned motormen as
guides until they have satisfied require
ments.
with the skeleton car" in operation
the beginner is given every opportunity
to become thoroughly familiar with the
mechanism and control before taking
his initial trip with Older emploJes.
The new car designed to give even
better and more thorough instruction,
affords better opportunity for the new
men. The car was made In the com
pany shops TwenJy-fourth and
streets northwest. Preliminary work
will be held at the instruction rooms,
located at Fourteenth and East Capitol
streets. Several trips will be made each
week on the special car. The beginners
are under the direction of e. G.. Elliott,
chief instructor. and Henry Hoffer snd
c. l. Kei5er, assistants.
The new car is of the doJble-truck
regulation standard type. The sides,
front and rear partitions are open and
the motors, air compressor. lighting SyS-
TEN and all wiring is visible to those
receiving the instruction. Each motor
man and conductor is requiI ed to know
the mechanical parts and to have
working knowledge of the car before
being assigned to a regular position

BEEF DECREASES AS
POPULATION GROWS
Department Report Shows Loss
of 9 Cows, 7 Sheep, and 8
Hogs for Each 100.

1t would take 1S,259,oC0 more cattle,
sheep and swine than the estimates
show at present in this country to give
the present population the same meat
supply that the census of 1910 showed
to exist This declaration is made In
a report made public today by the De-
partment of Agriculture, in which the
growing shortage in stock is advanced
as the chief reason for the rapid In
crease in meat prices. The total de-
crease of beef cattle in the three
years since the 1910 census was taken
is estimated at 5,Sz3, Co., and the sheep
shortage is placed at 2,729,000. Swine
alone shows an increase Of 77,0OO in
numbers.
Taking the census bureaus estimate
of 9S,646,OO for the population in 1914,
the Agricultural Department shows
that beef cattle are 1S.2 per cent, or
S,536,000 head short, sheep 11.6 per cent,
or 6,5O9.000 head below the 1910 figures,
and swine, though showing a slight In
crease in numbers, really are 5.2 per
cent, or 3,21400 head short OF the num-
Der necessary to maintain the PED
capital ratio of 1910.
Meat-Raising Improbable.
How alarming the increased price Of
meat has become Is indicated by the
departments figures showing that in
spite of an estimated decrease Of nearly
nine beef cattle, seven sheep and three
hogs for each loo population. the est-
mated value of stock on farms on jan
uary /, 1911. shows an increase In yalua-
ton OF 1896, $1,000 because OF higher
prices.
The farm value Of beef cattle has in
creased from $500 to $31.13 q head, or
So per cent an average animal, ana
swine have increased in value from $9:17
to $10.40 per head, or 1874 per cent. The
value of sheep on the farm shows de-
crease Of II cents head.
In spite of the large increase in the
value of meat animals on the farm,
and the great advance IN prices, depart
ment officials declare II to be evident
that meat-raising is not profitable to
the farmer.
''It is well known the report says,
that producers of farm products are
the last to receive any benefit from
higher prices paid by consumers, yet
they arc among the first to increase
PRODUCTION IL there is q prospect Of
realizing better returns" In this case
has probably increased more rapidly
than the increase in the selling price OF
live stock"
Causes of Shortage.
Seeking out the causes Of the shortage
of meat animals and the Increase in
their value the department finds the in
creased value of land, cost OF labor and
stock feed and the lack OF a proper
range leasing law ds factors.
