The Tide Turns

The Tide Turns
In spite of all precautions grade
crossing accidents arc multiplying
rapidly, and the loss of life is APP
pallins. People seem regardless of
danger. or become so occupied in
conversation they are unconscious of
it. The chief of the accident claim
department of a very large road,
told me of one such, which occurred
recently.
A long freight train was nearing
4 country highway, at not over IS
miles an hour. over q level track. 1t
was q bright sunny day. The loco
motive and several cars had already
passed over the highway. when the
conductor and one brakeman look
ing out the cupOla window, saw an
open car approaching at rapid :pced
and fully q half mile away. The
highway was also level and there
was nothing whatever to obstruct
the view from either automobile or
train. The auto approached without
in the least slaCkening It's speed,
and struck the second freight car
from the rear end of the train. The
auto was Il complete wreck, but its
four male occupants escaped per-
manent injuries. Their explanation
was they underestimate the length
and speed of the freight train and
didn't think it was worth while to
slackcn speed, much less stop, as
they expected TO shoot across just
behind the cabOoSc.
The railroads have borne without
much complaint the burden of such
accidents all these years. but the
tremendous increase in the number
of cars, and apparently, in the care
leSSncSs of tho drivers, has reached
Il point where they may be expected
to react. In other words, the worm
is beginning to turn.
We have evidence of this in a
recent court decision, where a driver
sued the Pennsylvania Railroad for
damages to his car, which plainly
resulted from his having carelcssly
run into a fast passenger train. The
railroad sued the man for damage to
it's gates, which were proved to be
down, and through which the car
crashed because it's driver failed to
reduce his speed.
The case is interesting as tho
first of its kind and as tho prospect
is that other roads will likely follow
the same course, it evidently be-
hoOveS the driver Of an auto to stop.

tlOn IN the sales room at the present

traction among the local motorists.
The Kennebec Auto Supply com
pany of Waterville say that it has
always been the policy of the Rec
Motor Car Company. to anticipate
when owners began to demand a
cleaner and more simp!ified control
theyf ound that REQ design was
ahead Of the times. A typical eX-
ample is the fact that REQ pioneered
the left hand drive. Another is the
placement of ignition and lighting
switches on the steering column right
at the drivers hand. But probably the
greatest forward step ever made
toward simplifying control and al
lowing greater freedom of movement
for both the driver and his front
scat companion, was the elimination
of the hand brake lever.
When q sudden stop is necessary
the driver simply has to push down
with both feet and both brakes are
applied: the clutch also is disengased
There is no need to tumble around
for n hand lever-which is usually
hidden by somebody's kncc-and
both hands are free to operate the
steering wheel. We believe this is
one of the greatest factors contrib
uted towards safer and easier motor
car operation. The short but easy
to-reach REQ gear, shift rod is To-

mediate difficulties of our climb, our
hearts had sunk within us at the
thought that possibly. after all. we
might find the north peak higher.
The fact that there lay before us an
other three hundred feet. which
would undoubtedly take us above the
highest point of that aggravating
north peak, was so very much the
less of two evils that we understood

and self -abnegation smilingly mo-

the director of the expedition might
be actually the first person to reach
the eliminating point.
In order to appreciate how great a
sacrifice. he was willing to make, it
should be stated that his willingness
to come on the expedition was due
chiefly to a fondness for mountain

London Place Names.

ORIGINALLY Hyde Park, in Lon
~ don, was the site of the ancient
Manor of Hyde and belonged to the
Monastery of st. Peter, Westminster.
At the time 1t covered nearly 400
acres. In 1886 it was conveyed to
King Henry VIII. In 1852 the park
was described as that impaled
ground called Hyde Park" and was
sold by order of parliament for f17,-
600. De Grammont referred to Hyde
Park as a barn field in the time of
Charles II. Although nowadays II is
the rendezvous of fashion, at one
time 1t was let out in farms.

the French Route du roi. which
meant the Kings drive. Pail Mall
gets its name from being the grounds
where King Charles and his courtiers
played the game that was called pale
maille. That game, sometimes known
as paille maille. consisted of hitting
ball with maille (mallet) through
an iron hoop that hung from an arm
on a high pole.

I'VE zigzagged slowly up, hour after
w hour, alternately resting and
climbing. until we were about to
reach what seemed to be the top, OBJ
viously, alas, not as high as our en-
emy to the north. Just then Tucker
gave a great shout. The rest of us
were too much out of breath to ask
him why he was wasting his strength
shouting. When at last we painfully
came to the edge of what looked like
the summit we saw the cause of his
joy. There, Immediately ahead of
us, lay another slope three hundred
feet higher than where we were
standing.
1t may seem strange that in our
weakened condition we should have
been glad to find that we had three
hundred feet more to climb. Remem-
ber, however, that all the morning we
had been gazing with dread at that
aggravating north peak. Whenever
we had had moment to give to the

don't know where it went on the
termine, it did not go below 120 for
four days and nights.
On the morning of October 10 we
got up at 3 o'clock. Hot sweet tea
was the one thing we all craved.
The teapot was found to be frozen
solid, although 1t had hung up in
the tent. 1t took an hour to thaw
for practical purposes when l made
an awkward move in the crowded
tent and kicked over the teapot.
Never did men keep their tempers
better under more aggravating cir
cumstances. Not a word of reproach
or Indignation greeted my clumsy ac-
cident, although poor Corp. Gamarra,
who was lying on the down side of
the tent, had to beat a hasty retreat
into the colder (but somewhat drier)
weather outside. My clumsiness
necessitated a delay of nearly an hour
in starting. While we were melting
more frozen snow and remaking the
tea, we warmed up some pea soup
and Irish stew. Tucker and l man.

together with most of our outfit and
provisions. From here to, the top
we were to carry only such things
as were absolutely necessary.
We left camp at 5 o'clock. 1t was
still dark. The great dome of Coro-
puma loomed up on our left, cut of
from direct attack by gigantic ice
falls. To reach 1t we must first sur
mount the saddle on the main ridge.
From there an apparently unbroken
slope extended to the top. Our prog
ress was distressingly slow, even
with the lightsloads.
When we reached the saddle there
came a painful surprise. To the
north of us loomed great snowy
cone, the peak of which we had at
first noticed from Chuquibamba CAL
vario. Now it actually looked higher
than the dome we were, about to
climb! From the Sihuas Desert,
eighty miles away, the dome had GER
tainly seemed to be the highest
point. So we stuck to our task. al
though constantly facing the possi-
bility that our painful labors might
be in vain and that eventually, this
north peak would prove to be
higher.
The last slope had an inclination
of 80 degrees.
We were not a gay party. The
high altitude was sapping all our
/ ambition. I found that an occasional
lump of sugar acted as the best
I rapid restorative to sagging spirits.
1t was astonishing how quickly the
| carbon in the sugar was absorbed by
the system and came to the relief of
| the smouldering bodily fires. A
single cube gave new strength and
yigor for several minutes.

Immediately our malaise left us. We
felt physically stronger. We took
deep breaths as though we had got
ten back to sea level. There was no
sensation of oppression on the chest.
Yet we were still actually higher
than the top of Pixies Peak.
We could move rapidly about with
out getting out of breath; the a2-
gravating ''whooping cough" left US;
and our appetites returned. To be
sure, we still suffered from the ef-
fects of snow and sun. On the ascent

we returned to Chuqquibamba.
Subsequently, Chief Topographer
Hendricksen completed his survey
and found the latitude of Coropuna
TO be fifteen degrees, thirty-one sec
onds south, and the longitude to be
seventy-two degrees, forty-two min

the day before. We broke camp at
half-pas st and by noon had reached
an altitude Of about 10000 feet, on
a snow field within a mile of the
saddle between the great truncated
peak and the rest of the range. Ii
