AROOST00K Man
C0mPL OF
CAR SHORTAGE

New York, Dec. BE. l.. Cleveland,
head of the big potato shipping firm of
E. L. Cleveland Co.. Houlton, Me-, was
here last week on his way back home
from a business trip through the West.
Mr.. Cleveland says this has been an ex-
ceptionally good season for the Maine
potato shippers as far as price is con-
cerned. The great trouble, however, has
been in securing the proper amount of
equipment to move the stock. The car
shortage has been quite serious in Maine
and has handicapped shippers consider
ably. The demand from western markets
exceeded that of past years but it was
hard for shippers to get cars to send po-
tatoes outside Of the State. The Maine
roads would not allow cars to go off their
line and the only way in which shippers
could get cars for shipment out of the
came into Maine loaded with other prod
ucts. This has been quite a serious
handicap Mr.. Cleveland says that the
situation now is no better than 1t has
been. although inquiry from the ives. at
present is not quite so urgent.
1t is hard to tell, he said. about the
quantity remaining in storage in Maine
He would not be surprised. however, if
about so per cent. Of the crop was still
unshipped. The acreage as a whole is
about % per cent of normal. Last year
it was 10 per cent. below normal and
this year is about Is per cent. short OF
last year. There will be a serious short
age of the fancy seed varieties like
Early Rose. Bliss Triumph and other
special varieties. He does not believe
there is over Is per cent of a crop of
these and prices are bound to be higher
on account of this shortage

Science and Crime.

Science has scored once more in the
detection of crime. The other day some
workmen excavating at Canarsie, L. L.,
dug up human skeleton which gave
evidence of death by violence. The find
was reported to the police, and though
search was made for means of identifi.
cation, nothing was found at first. A
police lieutenant, under the guidance of
an expert of the city standard testing
laboratory, undertook to reconstruct
the face of the dead man from the
chronological data Of the skull, and
by following certain scientific rules
made of plastic material representa-
ton that was later Immediately recog.
nized as the Likeness of certain Italian
who disappeared in May, 1914. Subse.
quently second skeleton was found
on the lot at Carnarsie, which was
identified by some of the clothing and
check in pocket as companion of
the one whose bones had first been I'M
earthed. From these clews a murder
plot of the typical Sicilian kind was I'M
raveled and arrests were made. 1t is
expected that convictions will follow.
Thus by the application of strictly sci
entific methods crime has been brought
to light and Is in fair way to punish
ment. The detective of the novel has
his counterpart in real life.-Washing-

DIFFER AS TO SEARCHLIGHTS
Operating Chiefs of Railroads Con-
tend They Are Dangerous, While
the Engineers Want Them.

There is wide difference in opinion
about putting powerful searchlights
on locomotives. Railroad men them
selves are divided on the question.
But the interstate commerce commits
sion directs that leach locomotive
used in road service between sunset
and sunrise shall have headlight
which will enable persons with normal
vision in the cab of locomotive, I'M
der normal conditions, to see a dark
object the size of man for dis
lance of 1000 feet or more ahead
Of the locomotive" Only an electric
light will practically meet this test.
This decides a controversy over the
relative safety Of different headlights
that has ragged for several years and
has engaged the attention of railroad
operators, engineers and mechanics
everywhere.
Labor leaders, comprising the high
est officers of the four train employees
organizations, the Brotherhoods of
Engineers, Firemen, Conductors, and
Trainmen, personally conducted the
fight for compulsory universal adop-
ton of the "searchlight" as q safety
measure. Operating chiefs, master me-
chanics and light experts of the rail-
roads protested against the high-power
lights as dangerous experiment.
Operating chiefs of the railroads
have been unit in their opinion re-
garding the electric "searchlights,"
pronouncing them especially danger
Gus in dense traffic ON multiple-track
lines, where many trains are constant
~ passing one another wholly by the
colored signal lights of the modern
block system. More than $50 railroad
companies, operating 215,OOO miles of
trackage, joined in the formal oppo-
sition. The railroads based their case
on tests and experiments with all types
of headlights, extending over several
years.
The Master Mechanics association,
through special committee of seven
experts, conducted exhaustive tests
from 1912 to 1915, a score of experts
devoting many months to testing every
existing type of headlight under va
rying conditions in different localities.
They reported all tests agreed in show
ing that incorrect reading of colored
signals by engineers was increased by
the high-power headlights; that the
dazzling glare produced confusing re.
Elections, shadows and false signals,
and that engineers were practically
blinded to signals when they were
caught between two opposing search
lights, as would frequently be the case
in congested eastern traffic.
