Stockton and LambertviIle, N. J.
The train shook violently, but did
not leave the rails.
The engine cab and baggage car
were damaged.
Stone Is Discovered
Dynamite sticks apparently had
been attached to the tracks. They
exploded as the heavy wheels
passed over the rails.
Two hours later a large stone
was found lying across the tracks
half mile from the scene Of the
attempted dynamite derailment.
Railroad officials said the stone
was sufficiently large to have
derailed a train.
Soon thereafter, track in
spectOrs came upon another Sa-
botage instance, a scant quarter
mile away.
An attempt had been made to
batter open a locked SwitChbOX
with the evident intention of 'di,
verting OnruShing trains onto a
siding where several freight cars
had been hauled. Had the at
tempt succeeded, the passenger
train would have hurled itself
into the heavy freight cars, Of
ficialS said.
Engine SwayS
The crack Stroudsburg-P Philadel-
phia express was the object OF the
first attempt.
Shaken by a terrific blast high
above the chaSm, bridged by the
Praulsville trestle, the engine and
baggage car Swayed dizzily, but
regained their equilibrium and
settled fast to the rails again.
Bringing the train to sudden
halt, the engineer jumped from
the cab. He found the track in
tact and an unexplOded stick Of
dynamite a short distance away.
Railroad detectives and State
police we're rushed to the scene.
No trace of the supposed bandits
was found.
A thorough examination of the
tracks led to the discovery Of the
other attempts to derail trains.
The stone was placed on the
tracks about two hours after the
blast. Some of the inspectors
passed over the spot without find
ing anything wrong, but another
discovered the huge boulder a
short tine later.
No Big Shipments
Both police and railway Off
cialS expressed amazement at the
daring of the plotters,
There was no doubt that delib-
crate attempts had been made to
wreck the trains, officials said.
None of the trains carried any
valuable cargoes, so far as known.
nor were there any important
llail or express shipments:

DURING the past few years re-
~ search workers have expert
mented with sauerkraut quite ex-
tensively. Their conclusions have
established an excellent reputation
FOR this cabbage product which
must give much satisfaction to
persons who particularly enjoy i
.sauerkraut dinner"
Many fashionable restaurants
serve sauerkraut cocktails and
they are rapidly gaining popularity
on the home menu. The canned
kraut is simply drained from its
Juice and the juice is thoroughly
chilled and used Just as it is with
whatever seasoning is wanted.
II homemade or bulk kraut Is
used, put 4 pound in coarse
sieve. Pour three-rourths cup cold
water through it and press out the
Juice. Chill and season with lem
on juice. salt and dash of pa
prika.
An excellent and inexpensive
neal can be provided if sauer-
kraut is served with spareribs and
dumplings. This is hearty fare
for a nippy winters evening, but
it supplies an abundance of min
eral salts and yitamins at small
cost. If the dinner begins with L
cream soup and ends with fruit
pudding. with kraut and dump
lings for the main course, a well
balanced and nourishing meal is
served.
Weiners are often liked with
Sauerkraut. but spareribs are usu-
ally chosen on account of their
high fat content. Cabbage is lack
ing in fat. so this factor is most
economically supplied by spare
ribs.
The following recipe will serve
four persons.
