Full Grew Efficiency


Full Grew Efficiency
Recently the Pennsylvania Railroad
issued a statement relative to its pas
senger traffic. A part of the statement
says that during the year 1913 1t had
carried about III, 100000 passengers,
without a single fatality. What do
they attribute this extraordinary good
record to? The company claims ef-
ficiency of it's employees. No mention
is made of the Full Crew Law. The
railway employees have always been
efficient, not only during the past lew
years but in the years prior to the
Full Crew Law. But prior to the
enactment of this law the records of
the railroad companies were not quite
near SO good. The employees have not
let down the bars for safety, nor have
they been any more diligent than pre-
viously. The only answer, therefore,
is the Full Crew Law. BY its enact
ment additional safety has been placed
around the travelling public and the
tension lessened on the members of
train crews, thereby permitting them
to perform their duties with a clearer
mind and with due regard to the de-
mands of the occasion.
Another point that might be dwelt
upon in connection with this law is
in regard to rapidity of handling pas
sengers in connection with local
trains. The average distance between
local stations does not exceed three
miles. With a vestibuled train of
eight coaches there is total of six
teen vestibule traps and doors to be
operated. The rules of the company
require these traps and doors to re-
main closed between stations. Under
the old method there were only the
conductor and one brakeman to cp-
crate these traps and doors, while
under the present law there are three
employees to open and close the same.
Is it not obvious that three employees
can operate these doors more quickly
than two? Also, three employees can
more quickly assist passengers to
board or alight from the train. and see
that all passengers are in off the car
platform and, therefore. out of possi-
Bile danger from rounding curves or
crossing switches, etc.
1t would be a very easy matter to
cite numerous other reasons why the
Full Crew Law should be maintained.
but space will not permit. The trav
unreasonable or unfair in the retain
ing of this law on our statute books.
The people are entitled to 1t for pro-
tective purposes and the railway en-
ployes need it in order that their du-
ties may not be to onerous and will
permit them to perform their task
with a clearer mind and to the best
interest of their employers and the
public. RAILROADMAN.

First rip the side seams of the skirt
and slash it down the center back

The French designers were not slow
to seize upon this way Of disposing OF
still more of the hundreds of skins
they always keep on hand.
The cape which is sketched today
is an admirable example of what one
French designer has achieved in the
way of jacket-cape intended to wear
over a one-piece frock when the wealth
er does not demand q heavier wrap. 1t
is of baby lamb, with a mum to match.
The sleeves are in that old-fashioned
shape we once called dolman, yet the
position collar and the military cords
across the chest do not even family
resemble the dolman period.
The muff of this set. by the way, is
something to be considered. Worth
is supposed to have invented it. but
several of the furriers have copied 1t,
and it is usually considered the smart
est novelty in peltry.
1t consists of two small pockets or
bags for the hands, Joined in the cen
ter by an ornate cord which ends in
tassels. The peltry used is also baby
lamb, but one can make it of panne
plush edged with an extra bit of fur
that one has on hand. There is some
thing quite fascinating about it, and
it is possible that women will like to
ve1vets. to match a variety of costumes.
1t does not represent the outlay in
money that large muh does. You see,
1t is quite small.
Capes on Coats.
Naturally the position coat carries
its cape How shall 1t be made? Dou
Bile, triple, edged with stitching on fur?
Fastened in front with fat gold but
tons or folded back in the style Of the
huntsman of other times?
Those details are now earnestly stud
led by the women whose height and
slenderness of shoulders allow them to
seize eagerly on this picturesque re-
vival of a fashion belonging to eras
that have always had a glamour for us.
AS rule these capes are better when
they are double and the fur Is omitted.
1t is enough when used in collar that
conceals the neck and chin.
If you want to be really fashionable
and picturesque have a tailored suit
of deep plum colored cloth with the
neck open and the waist held in by two
large gold buttons.
