ANOTHER RAILROAD WRECK.

Perhaps one of the strangest things
in connection with the railroad wreck
on the Reading road is that 1t should
.Scur on the day following that or the
New York Central and Under very
much the same circumstances. 1t was
a rear end collision in each instance
where the first train had stopped for
good reason. In the case of the New
York Central the stop was for the
purpose of getting more motive power
10 help it over the grade and in the
EcadinG case the engineer of the To-
cal had brought his train to 4 stop
when he saw wrecked freight engine
in his path.
Again it is claimed that the signals
we're set against the second train. and

In the far corner of the living room
Caroline raised a face flushed as to
cheek and tousled as to hair and with
no prelininaries hurled her .disrupting
bomb.

tithesis of individuality?
A Mortified silence made itself felt.
Then the father of the family came
back to life and managed a decidedly
injured expression.
Not for this" he began firmly,

Lots of bewildered young people think
they are sent TO college to waste the
happiness of their homes and their
dear parents-heaven knows how many
domestic units have been irretrievably
shattered by their foolishness. Don't
you realize that the main reason you
go to college is to have a good time
and join sororities and attend uni
versity teas and flirt with your pro-
fessors and be able to look down pit
ingly on the rest of the world which
has not gone to college?
''Why will you insist on fooling with

DEALERS URGED
TO SEARCH FOR IDLE
FREIGHT CARS
Detroit Manufacturer Begins Nation
Wide Campaign to Offset I'm
pending Shortage

Quick and concentrated action toward
the relief of the threatening freight car
shortage is being undertaken by the au-
tornobile industry. The efforts at pres
ent are being directed primarily against
unnecessary delays in loading and un-
loading and n preventing the holding of
cars for 'p ospective movements"
AS they did two years ago, when the
freight car shortage reached an alarm
ing stage, Dodge Bros, Detroit motor
car manufacturers, have asked their en-
tire organization, which extends to vir-
tually every locality in the United States,
to cooperate in the "speed-up" campaign.
A Dodge Bros. executive commented on
the situation as follows:
1--WE have asked all our dealers to no.
tify US by wire as soon as they discover
that an automobile freight car or a strong
of cars is being unnecessarily held up.
We are positive that hundreds of such
cars are on the sidings, particularly in
the western districts. Presumably these
cars are being held for later consign-

ments, but we must eliminate the later
and get these cars moving now. we
emphasized our statement that dealers
themselves should under no circum-
stanceces lose time in unloading and
turning freight cars back to the railroads.
If every trflng delay is eliminated the
situation will be much less severe than
the present outlook indicates and motor
car dealers will benefit to a degree pro-
portionate with their efforts to relieve
the shortage"
1t was added by the executive that
there are fewer freight cars in active
service now than at any time in the last
three years.
The campaign undertaken by Dodge
Bros is in line with the advice OF

DRIVING TWO-F|STED
CAR WITH ONE HAND
AppersOn s Has 20 Horse
Power Motor, But Woman
Drives 1t With One Hand

A big touring car, dusty and travel
stained, rolled into the Apperson garage.
The license plate showed a state 400 miles
away, but a woman was driving the
car with one hand.
Charles Denegre, local Apperson dealer,
was speaking of the occurrence. Many
women drive the Apperson Eight. but |
never realized before that the car is so
perfectly balanced and steers so readily
that a woman could drive 1t with one
hand But this woman had, as she told
me, driven it many times that way with
out any trouble.
LAS matter of fact the Apperson
Eight is so perfectly balanced that 1t
will swing into the straight away of
itself after rounding a curve. 1t tends
to run straight of itself. A light touch
on the wheel, scarcely perceptible eff
fort, sends the car in the right direction,
responsive to the drivers will In fact,

swear it's mind reader"

LONG TOURS HOLD
NO TERRORS FOR
MODERN AUTOS

Engineering science plus modern meth
DDS of manufacture, have developed the
high grade motor car to point where
performance is taken by the owner as a
matter of course. Long distance touring
by automobile. once regarded as a feat
worthy of comment, now is looked upon
as a task that the automobile may be
expected to accomplish.
On a cross country tour of 1000 miles or
more the motor car encountering all
manner of road conditions will travel
day after day without giving trouble.
A railroad locomotive, on the other hand,
is run into the roundhouse at the end
of $50 or 800 miles for cleaning, oiling
and general "recuperation;" in fact, at
each division point it receives. at the
hands of experts, general inspection.
The inspection of the motor car on a
long distance tour generally is confined
to glance at the oil gauge and a peep
into the gas tank.
1t is comparatively only a few years
since a tour of few hundred miles was
looked upon by the owner as a real test
of his cars endurance. On a trip of that
kind the driver was prepared to expert
ence mechanical trouble. Since then
there has been a decided Improvement in
road conditions throughout most sections
of the country, but the big advancement
has been found in the construction of
the automobile itself.
