 The rule attacked is one which re- quiras a nachinist and heired to ac-i company the wrecking crew when the engine is disabled
 'The railroads object to this rule MT. Winter explained. because wreck is an emergency matter It re- quires the immediate dispatching of a crew, often to care for injured pas sengers and employees, or to clear the main line for traffic or to prevent de- struction. of property by fire

 Much of MT Winters testimony dur ing the day referred to classification or work, by which he attempted ;o snow that the classification rules work injustice to the roads.

 M ors and farmers bins are subject to severe injury by insects, most of which may be prevented if the proper measures are taken" says Prof. w. T. Flint, entomologist, Illinois natural history survey.
 There are g or 30 species of in sects commonly found infesting grains. About half of them are bad medicine. All of these insects are popularly chased as weevils although twelve of them are true weevils. Happily they may be controlled by the same treat ment.
 The most effective measures for controlling stored grain and seed in sects are cleanliness, fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas, fumigation with carbon bisulfid and the application of heat, all of which are described in cir cular No. 40, Illinois College of Agricul- ture.
 Carbon bisulfid is probably the most popular method. It is a nearly color less, ill-smelling liquid that changes to gas very rapidly and should be used carefully because the gas, when mixed with air, is very explosive and the

in1ammabls nature of the gas will cause it to ignite even from a spark caused by striking a nail with hammer.
 '.The gas is heavier than air. and sinks to the floor through the grain. The gas Is deadly to all forms of insect life and is the best fumigant for treat ing grain or seed or piles of feed which can be kept in tight room or con tainer. The best results will be secured at 75 degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature should never be below 60 degrees. One pound of the liquid to each hundred cubic feet of space is proper.
 While the liquid may be applied di- rectly to the grain, it is better to half bury several gunny sacks in the grain and pour the liquid on them. This gives a more rapid evaporation.
 'It is also better to cover the top of the bin with tarpaulin or blanket.
 ''As this gas is poisonous to human beings, don't daily. Get out and close the door. Keep the room closed from 36 to 60 hours and ventilate thorough y before re-entering.
 Small quantities of seeds may be fumigated in tight barrels in similar manner"
