WE WONDER


When do golf caddies go to school.
If plated shirt ever gets wrinkled.
Why they call chorus girl an
actress.
Why they tell you to take good care
of cold.
What a good listener thinks about
while he's listening.
If they have free lunch counter in
the Sandwich islands.
Why they call 1t cargo when it's
carried in ship and not shipment
Why it is that the seats during the
rush hour are always filled with fat
men.
If they make microphones out of the
same material they make apartment
house walls.
Why the fellow in a crowded ele-
vator who gets out at the first floor
always stands in the back of the car

Safety Driving Points

S&ASAy Living OAAAeS
Never speed.
Dim headlights.
Slow down at intersections.
Keep eyes on the road straight
ahead.
When going slow, keep toward
the curb.
Do not try to pass another ma
chine on the right.
Keep both hands on the steer
ing wheel at all times.
Sure-working brakes are bet
ter than a loud horn.
Signal to the rear when the
intention is to turn or slow
down.
Never take on or discharge
passengers without pulling up TO
the curb.
Slow down when nearing chill
dren. 1t is impossible to tell
which way they will jump.
In making left-hand turn,
edge to the middle of the street.
Do not make a left-hand turn
from the right side of the street.

Crossing Easily Moved.

When repairs to the track are neces-
sary the precast crossing can easily
be removed. At least two lifting sock
cts are built in each slab for this
purpose. Four men can lift and car
ry an average-sized slab. On coun-
try highways, busy city streets, and
heavy traffic driyeways in industrial
plants, precast slab crossings have
demonstrated their worth by years of
excellent service.

is san item of considerable expense.
Most of this is caused by the loosening
and destruction of planks by traffic,
the necessity of replacing and respik-
ing planks to the ties, and the delay
resulting from alternate wetting and
drying of planks end ties. By replac-
ing the wood pIanks with precast
slabs, the destruction of ties due to re-
spiking and decay is greatly reduced,
and the cost of replacing crossing
plank is practically eliminated. The
actual cost of Installing and maintain
ing a crossing, however, is usually Of
less concern to the railroads than the
securing of good crossing. Slabs can
be manufactured ut points convenient
to the supply of aggregates. Common
labor, under competent supervision can
do the work. The slabs may be cast
during the winter or rainy weather
when maintenance men would other
wise be idle.
