ESCAPING THE WINDSHIELD

A news story detailed how a youth, discovering himself in the same automobile with a drunken driver, and seeing that a collision with an approaching auto was i'm minent, "braccd himself for the crash,' and in spite of all his pains was propelled through the wind shield. suffering severe cuts.
 The thought came to us that this "bracing for the crash" was poor technic, although few can think Of the best way to avoid an injury in a few seconds time. A little thought will tend to clarify the situation. Had the boy. instead Of "bracing himself.p crunched down in front of the seat, letting his body occupy the space usually occupied by his feet, an injury from flying glass" 1 would have been slight: and at any rate, he would not have been thrown though the windshield. He would have landed In front of the car usually reserved for the speed omctcr, the clock, the light switch the choke. the oil gauge, etc. He would have landed against the panel board or beneath 1t hyd when the impact came, but this isn't as dangerous as being pro- l pelled through the windshield. or having the flying particles Of glass aimed at his face.
 We hand out this information . free gratis; Whenever there Is time to do something about an impend- | ing crash. drop 10 the bottom of the car. Stoockles himself. we surmisc. could not give better advice.
 or turn around and hang 10 the back of the seat. thus awaiting de- yelopments. This may be better scheme than the other. Even a driver seeing worst coming 70 worst, and being sober enough to net for his own safety, might at times bc able to do this, thus pro- tacting his face from glass and suf- f"riHg the jolt 10 follow on the soft est part of the body.

FEWER PASSENGER TRAINS

In auguration of daylight saving z has given the railroads another op- portunity to revalnp their train schedules. Rarely does one find new passenger trains added for the less CT runs.
 The railroads are prosperous. but less of thls prosperity is due from short distance passenger business than ever before. In fact. there has been a universal falling off with in the last five years, which some commentators claim Is as high as 20 per cent.

you don'c think so? Too much wa,ered stock. you say Well, that's probably true.
 Anyhow. that's the total amount Of stock outstanding. all safely owned by th= New Haven railroad. That certainly is something to own; probably printed on a good quality 0. paper, with fancy letter irs and Drls.Ilng with legal state ments-iike some other stock paper almost everyone has al some time or other conteEded with. ! Perhaps the careful reader mo- ,iced the annual report ot the Con- necticut company in this newspaper. r not, more care Is needed in get ting at the milk in the cocoanut in thls comprehensive journal. T. was there, and wha. 1t stated should quiet the supposttion that the Con- necticut company may some fday be less than a white elephant-or is it yellow one--on the hands Of the railroad company.
 The Connecticut company last year earned the munificent sum of s133 per share. This may be better than nothing. but it is very little. IL would never satisfy a canny Scot should he happen 10 own any Of that stock. But It will have to suit he New Haven as the sole owner O. the water, This return amounted to only s535, ,100 on the s40,000,000 fancy a business of si0.000,0Qo re- turning only half million in pro- fits.
 The financial record 0, 1926 was worse than In 1925, when sS65,000 was taken in at the gate, and the income amounted to s2.16 per share. Instead Of progressing, the Connecticut company seems to be going backward, although the gross earnings showed an increase.
 The expenses took sharp Jump, it seems: and we learn that the company is now operating 125 busses. Some Of these were added to freeze out the pretensions Of in- dependent concerns: busses cost money. and perhaps some of them, like some Of the street car lines don't pay. In operating things that do not pay the Connecticut com pany nearly has monopoly in this state.
 Somehow we cannot understand where the Connecticut company Is worth anything like s40,000,000; of course. that sum may only represent what the New Haven railroad thinks 1t is worth. or what it paid for the stock, with as much water in 1t as Mississippi flood. The company appears to own no expen- sive power houses, buying it's elec- tricity in the market: it owns tracks and wires, but not all the cars 1t operates, many of these being leas- ed.
 Based on the actual investment made in the trolley lines operated by the Connecticut company, or even the actual cost Of re-crcating the lines even at present prices, we'll venture the supposition that 1t would not take s20, 100000 to turn the trick. There may be some Of us who would venture the opinion that the entire shooting match is not worth more than s1o,000,ooO. But the New Haven values the trolley octopus at $40, 0,G00,000, and at this rate can not make it pay real money in returns. Of course not: it is i'm possible.
