Mr.. Morrow, manager OF the Prest-

h a you could say the same thing
about cuff buttons or carpets or tree

cial Prest-O-Lite feature. II virtual
ly mou.ds the positive and negative
posts to the cell covers.
What's the advantage? Why, II
eliminates acid creepage aroun the

trolyte from stopping over. And you
know that a sloppy 3attery corrodes
very quickly.

division of steam railroads of the New
York public service commission, in his
notable report on the South Byron
wreck last year. In that report Mr..
Vanneman said:
ut has been alleged that when rail
road executives have been called upon
to decide whether they should give an
automatic train control device a trial,
they have Immediately reached deci-
sion by weighing the estimated cost OF
installation against the expected ex-
penses resulting from the settlement OF
claims for injuries and loss of life
within a given period. Such a method,
if it may have been employed, is not
only autocratic but brutal | doubt
that it has existed
Such a method was doubtless fairly
common on American railroads Is years
ago, but the automatic stop has only
reached stage of workability within
the past few years. A number OF Amer
lean railroads have given these devices
extensive trials, and two or three have
adopted them, The financial difficulty
is considerable, but not insuperable.
At all events, the public, which eventu-
ally will have to pay the cost, is doubt
less willing that railroads having a
high density of passenger traffic should
assume the burden.
In the meantime, something may still
be done not only to improve discipline
but to stimulate an imaginative fore
sight that will render railway operation
safer. There are two men in locomo.
tive cab, and it is desirable that the
fireman should have larger responsible
ity for the observance of signals. More,
over, not many railroads have adopted
the exemplary rule that a train should
be brought under control when the dis
tant signal shows caution. By adopting
this rule and making the fireman re-
sponsible for observing the distant sig.
nal. the fireman, in an emergency, would
be able to bring the train to a stop be-

The i'll fortune that has attended the
Office of secretary of state ever since
Wilson has been in Office continues with
the resignation of Breckenridge Long,
third assistant secretary of state, in
order to run for United States senator
from Missouri. This resignation comes
very soon after the retirement OF Frank
l.. Polk as nder-secretary OF state
and, further back, of that of Robert
Lansing, head of the department during
the more troubled times of war. The
office of secretary of state has either
been football or stepping tone,
chiefly the former, with the occupants
Of the department getting consider
able shaking-up along with the kick,
ing. This has happened so frequently
that the department of state has fallen
into low repute as compared with its
former high standing. The time was
when statesmen of the highest rank oc-
cupied the office and they brought re-
nown to the position. The next presi-
dent should pay more attention to the
sort of men he originally picks for the
position-the sort mentally and tenn
peramentally.

Automatic Stop Imperative.

Collisions like that yesterday near
Schenectady, n. Y, are OF so frequent
occurrence that the general adoption
of an automatic train control is now
| imperative. Automatic signals, to be
effective, must be supplemented by
prompt obedience on the part of the
engineer No system of management
or discipline has proved able to produce
infallible obedience. 1t is asking too
much of nature. Lapses of attention
cannot be avoided; the most faithful
engineer, if he be old and ailing, or If
he be only temporarily fatigued, may
doze or allow his mind to wander.
The only device affording protection
against these lapses of attention is the
automatic stop. Even if that device
reveal some imperfeetions or Irregular
ties, it has now been sufficiently devel-
oped to constitute a safeguard OF a
very high degree of reliability, without
involving any new dangers or difficult
ties of train operation.
For the four years ending Dec. 81 ,

company's record has been unfortunate.
On its main lines, since April s, 1918,
there have been, not counting yester-
days collision, four major accidents TO
important passenger trains, involving
the deaths of "a persons and injuries
to at least 70. and besides these there
was the wreck of the circus train on
the Michigan Central on June p, 1918,
when GO were killed and l2S injured
Three of these wrecks were due TO fail
ures to obey signal indications. II is
apparent that the New York Central
must do something TO restore the
standard which won for II the Harri-
man medal In 1915.

Solving vermont's Housing Problem.

The lack of housing accommodations
in Vermont cities and larger towns has
been growing more and more acute
The high price of labor and material
has put more or less of damper on
building operations for several years
past. and the situation continues with
little hope of betterment in sight. An
Own Your Own Home" movement has
been gaining ground in several com
munities in the state, the latest places
to enter being Randolph and Newport
City. Articles of association have been
filed with the secretary of state by the
Randolph Cooperative Savings & Loan
association. The capital stock must not
exceed 100000, shares are $500 each
and no stakeholder can have more than
81 900 at time. The purpose given IL
to build homes and urge savings among
the residents of Randolph. More than
40 persons signed the papers.
The Newport City Building associa.
-tion has organized with capital stock
of $4,000 and the sole purpose of the
organization is given as building homes
in Newport City.
These movements and similar ones
are decidedly worthy and will go long
way toward solving the housing prob
