agement for Deaths of Nineteen
Persons in 1914.

If every one of the million trains op-
Grated on one single system in 1914
had arrived and departed on time,
each one moving over it's own partic-
ular route without semblance of a
train accident, nineteen persons,
classed in the interstate commerce
commissions accident reports as pas
sengers, would have been killed; but
not passenger was killed in a train
accident on the 26,19S miles of track.
How the nineteen persons lost their
lives: Six by, falling, jumping or slip
ping from moving cars or trains; two
by attempting to get on moving
trains; two by slipping off station plat
forms in front of trains; two by stand
ing too close to edges of station plat
forms and being struck by trains; one
by jumping off ferry boat; one by
throwing himself between cars of NOV
ing train; three by crossing tracks at
stations in front of trains; one struck
by coach and thrown under train; one
when assaulted by another passenger
and thrown from train. The railroad
was powerless to prevent the fatali-
ties.

BEST RAIL GRINDER
SIMPLE MACHINE SAID TO DO
PERFECT WORK.
So Light That It May Be Lifted From
the Track and Replaced With a
Minimum OF Interruption to
Roads Traffic.

The accompanying illustration
shows a very simple electric grinder
developed at London, Eng. The ma
chine is so light that it can be instant
ly taken off the rail on the approach
Of car and be put to work again in
the space of about thirty seconds.
Therefore, 1t may be operated without
interfering in the least with the regu-
lar service during the day. The ordi-
nary rail grinders have to be used at
night after the car traffic is stopped as
they are so heavy and unwieldy as
to call for a clear track and uninter-
rupted operation, which means night
work and extra pay for foreman and
operators.
1t is claimed that night grinding re-
suits in some very Indifferent work,
the fitful light being responsible for
disastrous "cuts" in the rail so that
more harm may be done to rails than
II they were left alone. When one
considers that much of the grinding
must not exceed 1-100th part part of
an inch, it must be admitted that such
q delicate operation should be done
only under good light conditions.
This electric rail grinder utilizes the
human sense of touch in graduating
the grinding force of the emery wheel
The depth of the cut is regulated by
the pressure of the operators hands
On the shafts and he is made uncon-
sciously aware Of the depth of the
cut" by the vibrations conduct along
the arms of the machine. The success
full cut" should die out imperceptibly
about Is to is inches away from the
joint, on either side
The machine has a simple frame
work of ash providing a seating at
one end for the motor. AS the motor
is close to its work, low horsepower
is sufficient to drive the grinding
wheel. The motor is supplied with
! current from the overhead wire. A
starter box is placed between the two
arms, and switch is located near
the right handle.
There is an automatic "cut-out'
used in connection with the starter so
arranged that should the operator at.
tempt to take a deeper "cut" than is
advisable, the current is automatically
cut off and the machine stopped. The
machine will grind out corrugations
equally as well as defective joints, and
will smooth 10 to Is feet an hour, &C.
cording to depth and freedom from
interruption. By slight fitting of the
machine one side of the rail can be
ground more than the other if required

gl".rduncles, who proceeded to enjoy
her youthful enthusiasm to the ut
most.
Uncle Anthony loved to recite his
favorite poems to Helena, and in her
he found a gentle, appreciative lis
tener. Uncle David challenged her to
a nightly game Of chess and was
highly delighted when she vanquished
him, as she frequently did 1t was
Uncle Benjamin who was the sports
man of the family, and together he
and Helena drove each day to the
country club and tramped over the
golf course, sbecomiHg, in due time,

Then the three old gentlemen con-
ceived a plot to marry Helena to one
of their neighbors, Jack Lyman, an
altogether desirable young man who,
on his part, lost no time in falling in
love with the fascinating grand
niece.
1t was about this time that re-
markable change took place in Helena.
Something seemed to have dampened
her high spirits, and she went about
with a depressed and half-frightened
look on her charming face. All the
granduncles noticed it, and, finally,
Mrs. Muffet was called in consultation.

guilty concience," Mrs. Muffet dag

gentlemen in chorus. Then Uncle An
thony arose in his most dignified man

that IL she would step into the library
he would pay her up to the first Of
the year and that Amos would drive
her to the station at once.
'Tll co." said Mrs. Muffet angrily,
"but before I do leave I'd like to ask
one question-how is 1t that Miss
Helena came here twelve years ago
with pair OF beautiful brown eyes
and now her eyes are blue-blue as
violets?"
The trio of uncles gasped.
''Fiddlesticksl" calculated Uncle
Benjamin, first to recover.
"They are very blue indeed muir
INJURED Uncle Anthony, tenderly.
1--WE heard that the eyes of infants
frequently do assume another color in
after years." defended Uncle David.
miss Helena was no infant when
she came here before, sir" returned
Mrs, Muffet grimly. "She was five
years old, for / was chambermaid then
and took care of her Her eyes we're
brown like her mothers and her hair
was the same color-and she gave no
promise Of looking like this one. If
you'll excuse my saying so, she
couldn't be as handsome
"Then-then, who is our Helena?"
demanded Uncle David fiercely.
IAN impostor!"
Absurd" almost shrieked the three
uncles in concert, and Mrs. Muffet
was allowed to depart under suspend

could investigate the case of the
