SAND ON RAILS
Street Car Men Aided In
Getting Cars Over Slippery
Rails

Having sand on the rail is some
times as important and bcnencial n
having sand in ones craw.
Street car men who handle the con-
trollcr and the brake will testify to
the truth of this statement, for the
mo,orman Of. times needs sand at
both of tho places mentioned.
Some people thought that when
automobiles became common they
would very materially clrtatl the
street car travel. but with the principal
streets crowded with buz wagons the
old trolly cars seem to be az we'll filled
a. before.
Sometimes we hear good deal
abou. supply and demand" At other
times We hear 1t said. with no success.
full contradiction. that an increase Q.
supply causes an increase of demand.
Anyway tho people como and so like
Tennyson's Brook. and so tho automo-
bilcs and the street cars have all they
want to do. incidentally. 1t might be
mentioned in this connection that there
are many people every day. land sun
day tooJ and that may have something
to do with the street cars and the
automobiles keeping busy. ,
But sand is the subject OF this little
sketch. just common every day sand.
tho sort that goes to make up large
pcrcentaee Of the earth's surface. The
material used in building and making
glass and in various and divers other
ways; yes. and tho material ocean
divers come in contact with when they.
arc searching for sea scrpents and
suuken ship treasures.
Sand is used by locomotives and
street cars to counteract the slippery
ness OF the rails and augment the
traction. Street cars rs well as the
freight train locomotives carry boxes
filed with sand. But very much less
sand than heretofore In used bv street
cars for that purpose. and here -
where tho automobiles come into play
to that end.
Automobile tires sand tho rails for
the motormcn. and YOU can ask any
motorman IL II is not fact that he
uses less sand than before automobiles
became 40 common
So. tho automobiles are helping the
street car service instead OF injurying

EASY FOR BOY TO MASTER MOTOR
CYCLE
It Ia probably safe to say that the
ambition Is harbored in tho breast
of every older, red-blooded American
boy to own motorcycle. II is p:o-
baby also fact that many OF the
rising generation consider tho motor
cycle n complicated pieco OF mechan-
ism. Tho contrary is true. To tho
former bicycle rider especially - and
where In tho young fellow who has
not owned and treasured a bike-the
handling OF n motorcycle soon becomes
simple. Tho sidecar outfit makes IT
easy for anyone. OF course. whether
tho knack OF two-whccled equilibrium
has been acquired or not. Some be-
ginners will naturally become adept
in tho manipulation OF their mounts
before others because they arc OF n
mechanical turn of mind by nature.
The arrangement of the controls and
steering and handling of the entire
machine is so simple. however. that
any normal young man should easily
acquire tho ability TO handle Them
skillfully.
