Speed and Rail Safety

The CHASTITY Pennsylvania Railroad wreck at
Woodbridge, New Jersey, gives another severe
jolt to the postwar safety record which American
railroads had compiled until last year. There had
been an increase in accidents during the war
years, largely as a result of manpower and
equipment shortages, but by 1949 the accident
trend had declined to prewar safety levels The
railroads were not hesitant in proclaiming that
rail travel obviously was safer than any other
type of transportation, considering passengers
carried and miles travelled.
But 1850 brought an alarming change in the
picture. Whereas in 1949 there had been only
81 passengers killed, the fatality toll rose last
year to 180-most of the deaths occurring in two
crashes on the Long Island Railroad and one on
the Pennsylvania. While the 1850 total was in
sharp contrast to the railroads worst year, 1907
when 610 passengers were killed, 1t was bad
enough in an era of improved mechanical safety
devices, stricter personnel standards and rigid
Federal and State inspection systems
Whether mechanical or human failures were

Federal Reserve Fight

The Federal Reserve Board is out of
order on two counts. First of all. it is
technically under control and at the
direction Of the executive department of
our National Government Secondly. 1t
has since its inception in 1914 success
fully fought and evaded all attempts to
get the board to act for stabilization
Of our credit structure.
The principal contribution Of Senator
Nelson Aldrich to the central bank legis-
lation known as the Aldrich Plan, be-
sides his name, was his insistence that
the proposed central bank be free from
the authority of Congress as much as
possible. ana this desire was incorporated
in the GLASS; Owen bill which became
the Federal Reserve Act of 1918. The
Federal Reserve Board is an appointive
agency whose members are picked by the
President. and as such it may be expected
to receive suggestions from him as to its
policy
Senator Robert L. Owen included in
the first draft Of the Glass-Owen bill
provision that the Federal Reserve
System be charged with the duty Of
stabilizing our credit structure. The
Senate struck out this provision. Two
more attempts were made to get this

This and That
BY Charles E. 7rocewen

realized how much water space, II one
may so call it, an average sized gold
fish requires. What it needs, of course,
Is oxygen, and where it gets it Is in
water.
The best advice on goldfish manage
ment calls for one fish per gallon of
water. The real experts, men who make
goldfish their business declare that one
fish per two gallons of water is much
nearer the requirement.
This zone fish," of course, does not
mean one of these big fellows often
seen in outdoor pools. No, it means an
average small goldfish perhaps two
inches long. Thus tank-not bowl
holding four gallons of water will not
accommodate more than four small
fishes. preferably just two.
When one stops to think of the num-
ber ordinarily crammed into round
bowl of just few quarts it Is not to
be wondered at that so many Of them
die after few months.
Changing the water every day or so
will help, but this is nuisance. at the
best, and necessitates constant inter-
ference with the little world of water
one has set up. The whole pleasure of
the home aquarium lies in getting it
going properly so that it more or less
takes care of itself, at least for many
days at time.
One may crowd an amazing number
of guppies into given gallonage, just
50 long as other requirements are right.
Evening star., 1951-02-08

An excited lady called up the other
day about her goldfish.
Little Milly," she said, ais dead, and
little Timmie is down at the bottom of
the bowl, and won't come up. Do you
think he is pining for Milly?"
mo, Madam" we replied, lit is more
likely that the same conditions which
killed the one fish are killing the other"
An indignant gasp came over the wire.
why, I am sure he is down there
just out of sheer affection"
Madam, while there may be some
vestigal traces of affection among fishes,
it is much more likely to be due to
poor management in the aquarium"
The lady plainly didn't like 1t. She

Losses could be minimized if three

Private initiative, spurred in many
cases by laws and regulations, substituted
steel for wooden cars, introduced block

stock and road beds and developed robot
controls as back-stop for human judg-

Other lines. to limited degree, have

disregards block signals along the line,

The Long Island road is now spending
So million to install the new systems.
Experience has proved that under such
heavy traffic conditions, even highly
trained men cannot be relied upon at
all times to react properly to warning
signals. The next step is the robot.
In 1s47 the I.C.C., ordered installation
