PLANS TO READJuST CROSSINGS

Railroads Object to State Boards
Ideas of Improving Intersections.
Denver-The method of safeguard
ing railroad crossings to prevent the
constantly increasing numbers of acci-
dents recommended by D. S. Hooker,
civil engineer of the State Utilities
Board, was opposed by thirty railroad
officials. representatives of twelve
Colorado railroads, at meeting of
the utilities board.
Mr.. Hookers report recommended
improvements at crossings, levelling
the roads with the top of tracks.

tablishment of. standard crossing

the state. He also suggested that ap-
proaches to the tracks be constructed
on a uniform grade not to exceed 6
per cent and that standard sketch and
record cards, showing the traffic
census, the physiography of the land
near the crossing and the methods of
protection be filed with the commits.
sion.
In protesting against the adoption
of this recommendation, H. U. Nudge.
president of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, expressed the opinion that
the price of reducing the gradings and
filling the requirements of the report
would be SO prohibitive as to render
the proposition impossible. There are
S,676 crossings in the state that would
have to be graded, he pointed out. and
che cost of adjusting them would ap-
proximate $110.2S0,O00.

Cooking Juicy Vegetables.

Sweet juiced vegetables should be
cooked in as little water as possible.
The water in which they are cooked
should be served with the peas and
beans, or in a separate dish, to be
added by those who care for the liquid.

which are the most important ele.
ments. Any surplus liquid may be

ELECTRIC FURNACES

An electric furnace for the heat treatment Of
steel used in automobile construction has been
introduced. Its method of producing uniform.
dependable heat that is urgently sought by
automobile manufacturers is quite novel in elec.
tric furnace practice, although its principle is
comparable to that of the wellknown Nernst
lamp. Both the floor and the domelike covers of
this furnace are of refractory material which is
practically nonconducting at ordinary tempera-
lures. To start the furnace. a current is passed
through a bed of coke laid on its floor. On bein-
sufficiently heated the floor becomes a conductor
and in turn heats the wall and top. rendering
them conductive. until finally the entire furnace
becomes incandescent. It is stated by those who
have tried the furnace that its In the heat
treatment of automobile parts promises to be
extensive in the future.
