~"'ectc~ case, and the motor genera
tor set.
Tho H'ain power panel contains
switching devices for controlling the
amount of power delivered to each
part of the system and also contains
protective devices, such as fuses and
ci~r'1it breaking mechanisms. The
ringing system, 'busy" signal. and
dial tone are also located on this panel
Included in the selector case are
the selectors, which determine the
number to be called, and the auxiliary
equipment necessary for operation of
solicitors
The motor-generator contains an al
ternating current generator which
drives a direct current generator, re-
chsrci',r the battery of the system.
Already, students in the engineer
ing department at State have learned
the basic operation of the dial system.
According to Massey and Livera.
when the receiver at the sending end
of the system is lifted from the hook
a contract is made with the central
office, causing certain dial 'tone"
which indicates that the caller is free
to dial his number.
AS the sender dials a number,
series of impulses, corresponding to
the number called, is transmitted to
the central office. This series is con
veyed to the selector. then to the ring
ing machine. If the line called is busy
the energy of the ringing current is
diverted to the busy signal, and the
sender is notified that his number is
busy.
Should the line called be not busy
the contact between sender and re-
celver is closed when the receiving end
OF the system is lifted off the hook
Although the intricate description
and working of the dial system seems
rather complicated, the completion Of
the sending and receiving operation
can actually be completed before an
operator can say number please.

the turntable pit, suffered a
skull fracture and died. A bay,
ten years of age, clipped" onto
a freight train and fell under
the moving wheels when he
was brushed from the side of
a car by a viaduct support. He
lost a leg. A girl, IA years old,
playing tag with some other
children ran across a railroad
track, stumbled over a rail and
suffered very painful body
bruises. A IL year old boy fall
to give heed to his whereabouts
and was struck by a train. His
recovery from the injuries sus-
tanned was little short of mirac-
ulouS.
BY appealing to school auth
critics, parents and the children
themselves, the Burlington rail-
road is hopeful that its inten-
sive campaign to prevent tres
passer casualties will bear fruit
to such an extent that Incidents
such as these will soon be a
thing of the past.

MI. Nelson said, however, that
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission figures for the first
four months of this year, land
which are the latest figures
available), indicate out a very
slight reduction in highway
grace crossing accidents. and
deaths, there being only 1873
fewer deaths than for the same
period a year ago. The Commits
sion's figures OF trespasser cas-
ualtieS for the same period
show a reduction of only Is
deaths under the like period of
1887.
Grade crossing accidents can
be stopped entirely if people,
when approaching crossings,
Nil only take head of crossing
warning signs and approach
the crossing cautiously. Motor
lists should have their cars
under control before crossing a
track-look first to the right
and then to the left, crossing
then only when the way is
clear.
Going back to the trespass
problem, Mr.. Nelson said that
school authorities and the press
nave been extremely helpful
to the Burlington in it's cam
paign. He stressed the import
ance of teachers and parents
warning children not to play
on or take short cuts across
railroad property. Adults car
also well take heed of the lat
ter injunction, he said.
The following casualties have
occurred to children on Bur-
llngton property in recent

years of age, in company with
