T., said that the company formerly gave
man twenty or twenty-one days in
struction before letting him run n train
alone. In July. when there was short
age of men, Wilbur Lewis supervising
motorman, and Division Supt. Blewette
told him that the period of tutelage could
be shorter In the case Of men who were
already despatchers. lie was to use his
own judgment as TO how long the short
ened period should be.
One 15 Minute Trip.
Mccain said that he gave Anthony
Lewis only two to two and a quarter
hours mechanical instruction in addition
to one fifteen minute trip from Sleeps

and half hours in all.
was that all the instruction he had?
asked District Attorney Lewis.
All that l know Of" said Mccain.
who also said that he was In charge Of
instruction and that no other tutors
taught Anthony Lewis, so far as he
knew. He added, however. that he gave
orders for Lewis to go out on the lines
with regular motormen for instruction,
and he supposed this was done.
The witness deemed twelve days the
minimum time for qualifying n motor
man. The District Attorney asked him
II he considered six days OH the various
lines and two and n half hours mechan-
heal instruction sufficient. Mccain said
NO" He said he had instructed at least
100 men. twenty-five Of whom were mo-
torrnen. and he usually spent two and a
half hours day for six days with them.
"How>much time did you put on the
subject OF air brakes?" Mayor Hylan
asked Tho reply was From one-to one

WHERE WOUNDED MEN
YIELD TO DAY DREAMS
Restored to Health and vigor in
Red Cross ConvaIescent
Homes.

The surgeon has extracted the i'm
partially distributed bits Of shrapnel
from your works. The wounds have
healed. The wheels go round again,
and the clock ticks.
But 1t doesn't keep correct time.
This business Of calling "Timel" on
the Boche means so many broken clocks
nowadays that the master-menders
can't keep them on their tables after
they're mended. So the question where
they shall sit around while they're be-
ing regulated looms large.
The Red Cross answers that ques-
ton with it's convd1escent homes. 1t
has six of these in operation. A suit
able place Is found-sometimes do
nated-and management and equip
ment are provided by the Red Cross,
while the Army has furnished disci-
pline and a neverfailing supply Of COL
valescents.
These homes mean that men who
are scarcely hospital subjects, yet who
can by no mean go back to their du-
ties, have a place that does what
"home" does for the French or Eng
lish soldier, what "home" does for
any one, in fact, when the doctor gets
through.
You know. He says: you're all
right now. It's only a matter Of nurs-
ing and food"
But you know he's only looking at
the works he's tinkered, and that the
soul within you is grousing as it eve
did when the body was down and out.
1t wants something, and 1t doesn't
know what 1t Is. But If 1t doesn't get
1t pretty quick the works are going to
get gummed again. You know your
mother could find out what that dog
gone thing is right away and hand it
to you on a plate. But General Per
shing won't let you go to her. =
And the War Department won't1et her
come to you
Then you're taken to q Red Cross
convalescent homeland there is the
very thing you wanted! But you
couldn't describe it even then to save
your life.
1t is a bit of coddling, and pretty
surroundings, and women's faces, and
light laughter and time to play and all
that sort of thing. 1t is forgetting the
crash Of war and remembering that
there are pleasant, soft voices. It's
even such things as gaily-flowered sofa
pillows to jam into a corner and make
a nice lolling place while you read
and. smoke and talk. It's slippers in
stead of trench boots, or day-dreams
in place of the nightmare of killing.
