ers that the results achieved during
1918 were accomplished while he was
almost entirely out of touch with the
work OF the bureau. Shortly after the
American declaration of war against
the Imperial German Government he
was recalled to the army and served
with distinction both at the War De-
pRrtment at Washington and on Gen.
Pershing's staff overseas. He subse-
quently returned to his duties at the
head OF the bureau.
The work of the bureau is divided
between the technical investigation
carried on by the chemical laboratory
with the necessary personnel, testing
and analytical apparatus. and a force
of travelling inspectors covering the
entire country. Nre is also the i'm
mediate STAFF OF hief inspectors
office. The entire peraonnel of the or
ganization; including clerical force,
consists OF only fifty-two persons. The
inspectors are assigned to various
parts Of the United States and Canada
with district headquarters usually in
the office of some operating railway Of
fetal. They make periodical visits to
all stations in their territory from
which explosives and other articles
coming within the cognizance of the
bureaus regulations are shipped; to
each mandatory OF explosives. and tc
each storage magazine from which ex-
plosives are or may be shipped by rail
Their reports of inspections are sub
mltted TO designated operating officers
of the lines concerned and to the CHIEF
inspector of the bureau. The cost OF
the bureau is shared by its members
an assessment being levied every slS
months.

ton of the American Railway Associa
ton might not have resulted in any
Immediate change for the better had
not an event occurred which focused
the attention not only of railroad men
but of the public as we'll on the 'pecu-
liar danger to which they were eX
posed.
Dynamite Killed Twenty.
While the personnel of the associa
tons committee was still under con-
sIderation one of the most disastrous
explosions in the history of American
railroads happened near Harrisburg
on May IL, 1905. 4 sudden applica-
ton of the brakes on a freight train
only partially made up Of cars
equipped with automatic air brakes
resulted in a car near the centre OF
the train leaving the rails from the
shock. 1t fouled the passenger track
alongside and before signals could be
set or flagmen sent out the Chicago
Limited crashed into the wrecked car
at full speed and the shock of the col
lision detonated shipment of dyna-
mite with which the car was loaded
Twenty lives We're sacrificed and the
financial loss exceeded 100000.
This disaster served to stimulate the
work of the American Railway As
ISOLATION. During the summer of 1905
the members of the committee worked
diligently in the preparation of the
new regulations. employing additional
civilian experts on explosives and
consulting representatives of both the
army and navy bureaus of ordnance.
Among the army representatives who
came into contact with the railroad
officials was Col. p. w. Dunn. the in
ventor of dunnite, the standard load
ing charge employed in large calibre
guns both aboard ship and in the
coast defence Notifications. At that
time he was an assistant TO Gen.
Crozier, Chief Of Ordnance.
A graduate of the Military Acal-
envy at West Point and an officer OF
nearly thirty years experience in the
service. an expert in both the cheml-
cal and ballistic branches of ordnance
work with an international reputation,
Col. Dunn was greatly impressed with
the Importance of the committees eff
forts, and he contributed freely from
his knowledge and experience to the
data which the railroad men We're ac-
cumulating Practically every section
OF the regulations as they were finally
established bore the stamp Of his APP
proval.
The regulations prepared were ap-
proved promptly by the association
and adopted thereafter by practically
all its members. This adoption and

sCntial as 1t was, did not, however, re-
suit in any immediate marked change

| The competition Of the various lines
| for traffic and the fact that there had
not been time for an extended educa :
tional campaign to arouse a realiza-
ton OF the danger still resulted in
much winking at the rules.
Accordingly in October. 1906. a year
after the adoption OF the uniform code
the association decided that some cen

lectures, with a total attendance Of

staff Due to pressure of other duties
consequent on war activities, the num-
Der was considerably less than during
previous years, when about 800 such
talks were made annually. This work
of instruction has now been resumed
ON its former scale.
In addition to this verbal campaign
OF education. the chief inspectors Of

dents which have occurred during the

scrlhed briefly but clearly in non-tech-

freight and of the car In which 1t was
loaded or the surroundings at the sta
ton or warehouse in the case of acct
dents occurring in such localities are
enumerated and the chain OF events
leading up to the fire or explosion is
set forth. Finally, the mistake which
resulted In the accident is emphasized
and the proper method of dealing with
the shipment in question given. Meth
er names nor geographical locations
are given, but photographs OF the dam
age or of the appearance of car. sta
ton or lading are often used. These
bulletins are divided into sections for
