question of mine, Cristina asked me

That's a hard nut to crack,

But evidently the problem of getting
heavy traffic in both directions over

complexities. Dispatchers cannot
safely cut passing orders too fine in
the matter of time, or permit fas.
passenger trains to run too near to
opposing freights. Trains must make
their schedules as nearly as pract;.
cable, but it is better to waste ten
minutes or more than to take such a
chance as that which apparently re-
suited in the Renville crash.
The recent collision on the Penn
sylvania, on section where the traf-
fic density is so great that there is
train passing every three minutes,
was due to dense fog and the con-
sequent failure of an engineer to see
signal. If trains had been slowed
down because of the fog, it would
have backed up the traffic into a jam
of huge proportions, with the posi-
bility of many more accidents.
In spite of chances such as in these
two cases, train operation in this
Country is remarkably safe. The
statistics, it is claimed. show that it
is really safer to travel by rail than
to stay at home. However that may
be there remains still factor of risk
that must be farther reduced. Per-
haps this will soon be ACCOMPLISHED
by some form of electric control Of
trains from the dispatcher's Office

How Rail Wrecks Happen

Railroad wrecks usually fall in one
of two categories-those caused by
defective track, and those caused by
conflict or neglect of orders. A well
managed road seldom suffers one of
the first kind, because it's tracks are
maintained and watched with jealous
care. A wreck caused by track de-
fects is, therefore, usually consider
ed by the public reflection on man.
agement.
But such collision as that on the
Milwaukee near Renville Sunday,
where the train orders went wrong
in some way, many happen, though
but rarely, of course, on the bes.
managed roads, because there is al
ways the factor of human fallibility
to be taken into account.
In this case the Columbian on its
way west ran head-on into a heavy
eastbound freight that was just about
to pull on to q siding to let it pass.
Did the dispatchers miscalculate by
allowing the freight too little time
to reach the siding before the passen-
ger was due? The freight was ter
minutes late.

ton to determine the responsibility
for . crash that killed four txainmen
and injured several other persons

LET'S STOP THIS

Last year 100000 letters and
800, 900 packages dropped into post
office boxes in this country lande
in the Dead Letter" office at Wash
ington. Over 100000 letters ar,
mailed every year without sign OF
an address on them. 1t costs Uncle
Sam 100000 annually to bother
with 200, 200, 900 pieces of misdirected
and poorly directed mail matter. The
government collects nearly 100000
a year for the return of mail that
lands in the dead Letter" office and
last year that office could find no clue
to the ownership of $4,000 in cash
and $4,000 in postage stamps found
in letters, while 100000 in checks,
drafts and money-orders, failed to
reach the people for whom they were
intended. Is there any way to stop
this? There certainly is-and pos
tive way. At very small cost you
can have envelopes printed with a
return card in the corner. Then if
your letter cannot be delivered, OF
if you fail to address it properly, it
will come right back to you. Why
not drop into this office and let us
show you samples of a positive guar
antee against letters going astray?-
