rowest of chances a great disaster
was averted. Had an automatic stop
system been in service on that line
the disability of the engineer would
not have endangered the lives OF the
passengers on any train ahead or on
that particular train. The ROAD
would have been as safe as though
the engineer were fully capable ana
fully obedient to signals.
Many years have elapsed since
automatic train control devices were
first brought to public attention, ana
hundreds of lives have been sacrl-
feed through the delays due to the
unwillingness of the railroads 10
adopt them. At last the time Is at
hand when railroading in THIS cou'-
try. will, so far as the control Oh
trains is concerned. be safe. TO the
extent that the equipment necessary
to- prevent rear-end collisions on
double track roads and head-on col

Crowding Taxicabs.

In complaining 10 the District
commissioners of the 'hogGish''
tactics of taxicahs in front of the
alters and other places of assembly
Senator Phipps of Colorado has
voiced the sentiments Of thousands
of Washingtonians. Due to the In =
crease i'll the number of taxis and
the competition of the various COM
panies the ending of a theater per-
formance automatically starts a
small-size traffic war at the entrance.
TaXicabs crowd into the front of the
line, pushing other cars aside, and
make it almost impossible for the
driver of private automobile to
reach the entrance for his pas
Sengers. Frequently overzealous taxi
drivers deliberately stall their cars
when they pull up in front of a
theater The taxi suddenly regains
its vigor, however if Il passenger
appears, but if the fare is difficult
to set there is a general tie-up in
the entire line.
Woe be to the timid motorist who
told his better-half that he would
meet her and her brother at the
theater entrance at the close of the
performance! The chances are al
most one hundred TO one that he
will be about the last in line because
of the crowding of the taxi drivers.
who will see to It that he is blocked
from the curb so that even when
he finally gains the entrance he is
SO far out in the middle of the street
that there is no chance of stopping
Police on duty at the theaters are
largely responsible for this condition.
They apparently make little effort to
aid the private owner or chauffeur
in his endeavor to pick up pas
sengers. They allow taxi drivers to
get away with outrageous tactics,
such as stalling, crowding. turning
and backing-maneuve that tie up
the entire traffic line.
If the individual policemen, as a
result of Senator Phipps' protest,
cannot be persuaded to keep the en-
frances reasonably clear for private
cars to draw up for passengers, a
regulation should Immediately be put
into force to compel taxicabs to wait
for call. After all, the owner of an
automobile has some rights in the
matter and commercial vehicles
should not be allowed to usurp the
streets to the inconvenience and
sometimes the damage of the pri-
vate owner.
Whichever remedy is adopted by
the District authorities should be
acted upon at once inasmuch as it
is a growing evil that is rapidly
getting out of hand. There are only
two alternatives and it should be
comparatively easy to decide which
is the more efficacious. To Senator
Phipps the thanks of Washing
tonians are due for an effective and
timely protest that is bound to result
in the betterment of conditions.

Rail Safety Near at Hand.

On Thursday a. test was conducted
on the Reading Railroad of an auto
matte train-control device which
demonstrated the possibility of stop
ping a train within a danger zone
regardless of the speed and even
when no control is exercised by the
engineer. A special train drawn by
the fastest locomotive on the line
was sent at seventy-mile rate into
block against the cautionary
signal. The engineer sat with his
hands in his lap with the throttle
almost wide open. Four and one-half
seconds after the engine had passed
the next, red, signal. the brakeshoes
gripped the wheels and the train was
brought to a halt. AS a test of the
capacity of the system to prevent
excessive speed the train was run
at a rate slightly above eighty-five
miles an hour, which was set as the
limit. AS soon as the speed indi-
Gator reached a hairs breadth above
the eighty-five- point the steam
was cut off, the brakes were applied
and the train was halted.
These tests occurred at a point
near Winslow Junction, n. j., where
nearly five years ago five people
were killed in a collision in which
one of the flyer expresses of the line
figured. Had the automatic device
been installed then the collision

"Give Me London, Please"
Transatlantic radiotelephony was
yesterday inaugurated. between New
York and London, with some cere'
mony followed by rush OF business
that fully demonstrated the practlca-
bilitv of this mode of communication
over long distances. After the con
versations between the heads of the
American telephone corporation and
the British post office, and between
the Mavor of New York and the Lord
Mayor of London, there was rush
of calls, placed in the order of appil-
cation. for strictly practical purposes
In the course of the conversations
business deals amounting TO Sc 600. 600
were transacted. The charge for
transoceanic telephoning was high,
SIS for a three-minute call, with a tax
of SIS for each additional minute, but
It did not deter scores of people from
seeking this mode of practically in
Simultaneous correspondence, far more
than could be accommodated with the
facilities now available.
Long-distance telephony has been
established for some years and is COM

mode is a combination Of wired land
