WOODEN CAR TRAGEDY

Railroad ncidents have been few in
recent years, a. least SO Tar as death or in
j"ry TO passengers is concerned. Now and
.nen a train :. lerailed, but such accidents
are rare, anu recent statistics show that
train ira eel is about 15 times as safe as
tina. b, automobile.
But few days ago wreck occurred
on the Erie Railroad in which IA persons
wee killed and 25 seriously hurt, as the
resi- Of placing wooden coach between
two heavy steer ones. When milk train
rammeo a fast express in rear-end col
lision that wooden coach was crushed like
an egg shell between the steel cars which
made up the rest CO the train. In the steel
cars no one was hurt.
This demonstrates the fact that wood
en- coaches should have no place in modern
railroad transportation for passengers
While it would be hardship on the rail-
roads to do away withe the many wooden
cars now in service, no more cars of this OBJ
solete type should be built. And when
wooden cars are used, they should not be
sandwiched in between steel ones. A train
should be either all steel or all wood.
An all-steel train is the safest means
of rapid transportation ever devised by
man. In all the millions of miles travel
ed by steel Pullmans, not single passen-
ger has been Killed in more than a year.

BRAIN TRUST BUST UP

Recently, good deal of criticism has

Unable gentlemen have already given up
their jobs and it seems likely that more of
them will go by the board soon.
With his usual perception of things in
general, Will Rogers makes timely COM
parison of professors and politicians, and
predicts that the professors will soon be
finished and washed up. He says:
II believe that Mr.. Moley, chief of
