Electric Vehicles Grow.

The development which the year
1894 has witnessed in the electric
vehicle is phenomenal. Starting Off
last year in October the Electric We
hicle association had but 497 members,
with but two cities in which local or
CARNATIONS had been organized. Since
that time the membership has been
increased to approximately S5O-about
100 per cent-and the sectional repre-
sentation has expanded until it now in
cludes New England, Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Washington, Cincinnati, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh,
New York, Detroit, Cleveland and To-
ronto, with expectations of having To-
cal sections in the immediate future
in Buffalo, st. Louis and three or four
other cities. In each of these local
sections organized efforts are being
put forth to promote the sale and use
of electric vehicles, both passenger
and commercial, and it is safe to pre-
dict that these mediums will greatly
facilitate electric vehicle development
work in the year 1914-15.

CLAIM AGENT MUST BE KEEN
Needs All His Wits to Protect Treas
ury of Railroad Against Demands
That Are Extortionate.

claim agent must not only be AZ
good judge of human nature; he must
be able to distinguish quickly between
claims that are honest and those that
are simply attempts to obtain big
recompense for a trifling injury. When
an agent has suspicious case to deal
with, he usually has to use the most
modern detective methods in order to
protect the treasury of the railroad.
Once in a while, it is true, a claim
ant may fail to obtain what he con-
siders his full recompense, but such
cases are few. On the other hand,
consider these cases where a verdict
has been found against the railroad:
Not very long ago jury found against
a railroad company because it's train
kicked up dust in passing, and thus
caused the plaintiff, who lived near
the track, to suffer from hay fever.
A jury also found against a railroad
company in favor of a woman who,
in order to join her lover, jumped off
train when it was in motion In
falling she disfgured her face, and
the man refused to marry her. She
and the jury held that the railroad
was to blame. Another jury found
against a railroad company because a
drunken section hand, off duty, set
fire to barn.-Youth Companion.

ENGINE WITHOUT FIRE BOX
Installed by British Admiralty for Use
in One of Country's Ex-
plosive Depots.

The British admiralty has purchased
tireless locomotive for service at one
of the explosive depots, where abso-
lutte safety from fire is of the first im-
portance. The locomotive, which re-
sembles in appearance a miniature,
railway engine minus the smoke stack.
is without fire or heating apparatus
of any kind. Its reservoir, which Isl
partly filled with water, is charged
with high-pressure steam from boiler
placed outside the danger zone. The
locomotive can work on one charge Of
the reservoir for several hours on con-
tinuous hauling or for a much longer
time on ordinary shunting work. It
will stand for IL hours in ordinary
open-air temperature, with small loss
of steam, and can run back to the
charging station under as low steam
pressure as Is pounds per square inch.
In the trials made under admiralty
supervision all the test conditions
were surpassed, both as regards insu-
lation, loads handled, and periods
worked upon one charge of the reser-
voir. The locomotive is easily ham
died, and acts in exactly the same way
as an ordinary steam engine. The rub
bling surfaces, such as the brake blocks
and buffers, are rendered sparkless by
the use of special facings.

Then there are roses, mostly in
American beauty colorings, but made
in pink or yellow. also, that are pinned
in the high-necked collar or on the
lapel of the open-throated coat. Bands
of velvet ribbon with frills of maline
at the back fasten under a single satin
half-blown rose. They are adorable

tune.
For the evening corsage splendid
roses Of velvet, set in rose foliage, are
made and, for the youthful wearer,

For the negligee and for lingerie,
ribbon daisies and small rosettes of

the waist, line at the back and has a
straight front with a set-in girdle of
heavy, striped silk. The body of the
coat is novel in cut, with the sides, at
the underarm, sloped to a point and
the skirt set on to fall in graceful
folds. The sleeves are set in and fin
ished with wide bands of light fur.
The neck is finished with turnover
collar of fur and opens with revers at
the front. There is vestee and turn
over collar of soft silk.
In the coolest weather the coat may
be fastened up close about the neck,
the revers forming a double-breasted
fastening as warm as fur. An orna-
ment, appropriately rich, finished with
hanging tassel completes brilliant
and elegant garment.
The patent leather walking shoes
have gray cloth tops, the short, white
kid gloves are stitched with black, and
the large hat of black velvet is
trimmed with short, full ostrich
plumes oddly mounted. For the
amount of outlay required, which is
small as compared with that for any
other costume that looks as rich, this
is unexcelled in elegance.

nNE of the handsomest and most
" original of the new fur-cloth suits
is very plainly pictured in the photo
graph that is reproduced here. This
use of fur-like pushes in entire cos
tunes has produced the most notable
of the seasons novelties, and every
woman who is interested will find
lovely toilette depicted here in fault
less manner. One could not make a
mistake in copying it in every detail.
The suit is made with a straight
hanging underskirt and long full
skirted coat, of MORE plush in black.
The design is especially we'll suited
to the material, which seems most
rich and attractive in black. 1t is
black without hint of somberness,
having a glossy surface with the light
broken up by the pattern as effectively
as in cut jet. Dark brown and taupe
are admirable, too, and gray has many
admirers, in fur-cloths.
A waist of chiffon with sleeveless
overbodice of satin is worn with the
plush skirt, in the same color. The
bodice extends to the hips in straight
lines from the shoulder, ignoring the
waist line entirely.

Automatic SWITCHING.

Of all things needed, both for con-
venience and safety, one might put
the automatic railroad switch first.
And it has come at last, the invention
of southerner, which Pennsyl-
vania contractor has placed in serv-
ice with good results so far. When
the train is ready to leave a siding
the engine automatically opens the
switch to the main line, and when the
last truck is cleared the switch auto
matically closes and locks. The de-
vice can be applied to street cars,
says an exchange. 1t is, Of course,
of great use as a means of preventing
collisions at switches, and in insuring
the closing of switches to keep the
main line intact.

GOT. READY TO JUMP
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN HAD A
BAD SCARE.
Headlight" That Seemed to BELONG
to Locomotive Rushing Toward
Them Caused Quick Slowing
Up of Train.

An elderly engineer contributes this:
Way back in 1885," he confided,
Il was fireman on the Erie. One hun
dred and six was the engine | was on
then, and old Jack Maulley was the
engintes
Our rim wasn't a hard one, from
Hoboken out into New Jersey, but we
always had lot of freight and never
started out until after the road had
been cleared of passenger traffic. That
night speak of we pulled out from
Hoboken especially heavily loaded

do you see that headlight in front
of us? For Gods sake, jump when l
say So
Quick as a snap rushed to the
window of the cab and saw an i'm
mense ball of light down the track,
with the rays that it cast lighting up
the rails in front of it.
"Maulley had always been quick
witted in emergencies and he was al
ready Juggling at the levers with all
his might, ready to leap after the first
response of the train to his action
"Slowly the heavy train slowed up,
but before could jump heard Maui
ley break into loud shrill laughter and
return back to the cab.
Blamed if that isn't the moon, he
shouted
And sure enough, what we had mis-
taken for headlight had been the
moon. The full moon had risen over
some hills through which the rails
made a cut. It's reflection cast ahead
of it seemed like the huge headlight
of a swiftly moving locomotive.
"Of course the conductor of the
train rushed up after the sudden stop
and demanded to know the reason
why and wherefore, but how would it
have looked if we had told him about
mistaking moons for headlights, so we
merely blamed it on old LOG, the en-
CINE.
Never again, in my experience,
have | seen the moon in exactly such
a position, but it just shows some
times things are not what they seem"

I OVELY and elegant small dress &C
II cessories, that catch the eye and TO-
Gus the attention, do more to earn a
reputation for good dressing than
most women appreciate. 1t is because
she estimates the value of care of
details correctly that the woman Of
average income is often able to out
shine her Weather sister In the
achievement of distinction in dress.
Very little jewelry, and none of that
very cheap, but an indulgence in the
pretty passing fads of the hour In
neckwear or girdles or corsage bou-
quets or wells, is the wise rule to fol-

they add zest to the matter of dressing
and charm to what would become 9TH

generally the case.
The success OF heliotherapy on tu-

The Central Labor Union at a fully attended meeting of the delegates, voted.- last night. that a great debt is not in the interest of the working people of Bridgeport
 The action will result in a deter mined effort to bring out a large vote against bonds.
 During the debate, the hostility of the authorities to labor interests was considered, especially the action of the board of contract and supply in pur- chasing motor cycles manufactured by concerns deemed unfair to labor.
 The activities of the authorities in certain labor difficulties were referred to, and compared with the secrecy maintained in the conduct of the Siemon inquiry H
