P. 1866 General Tailoring NOTABLE SAFETY DEVICE AUTOMATIC SIGNAL CUTS RAIL DANGER Fewer Accidents Occur to Perâ€" sons on Trains Than In the _ Homes, According to _ Prof. King f The one who studies the situation carefully, however, and who finds that there are fewer accidents ocâ€" curring to person on trains than in homes, is bound to conclude that the safety ‘appliances in railway train service must be well nigh perfect to operate so efficiently on omeh a large scale, ymghout" the country thousâ€" ands of trains are moving at every hour of day and night, and in proâ€" portion to the number of movements the per centage of accidents is very small. Fewer acidents occur to persons on trains than in the homes because of gafety factors, says E. E. King, proâ€" fessor of railway civil engineer, Uniâ€" versity of Illinois. He explains ftn"ther: 8 a The average individual who rides along in a comfortable coach on one of our trunk railroads seldom thinks or ‘inquires concerning the outlay for equipment or the expense incurred to scfeguari and expedite the moveâ€" ments of that train. He takes it for granted that it is all a part of the intricate task of moving trains and seldom concerns with himself with the details of its operation. |._ _ Use Block Signals « Much of the safety in operation is brought about by the use of automatâ€" ic block signalling devices that are controlled ‘by the movements of the trains themselves. One type of such equipment for daylight signaling is made by mounting a movable blade on a high post placed at the side of the tracks or on a short post on a signal bridge placed above the tracks.. The position of this blade conveys to the engineman of the moving train certain information: about the ‘locaâ€" tion~and movements of other trains ahead that he,can use to governing the running of his own. The track is divided into sections called blocks a. mile or more in length and each. section is governed by one of these signals stationed at the begnning of that ‘block. ~Colored lights are used to give signals to the engineman by night and even. in some cases by day. A blade in the horizontal position or a light showing red indicate&‘thnt the block immediately ahead is o¢â€" cupied and that he ~should stop his train, :A blade standing at an angle (Cth the horitentii or 2. light Show: ing some other color than red is a proceed indication telling the engineâ€" man that he may advance his train with caution or at full speed, dependâ€" ing upon the particulsar angle of the blade or the color of the light. A large majority of these signals are operated and lighted by electric curâ€" rentâ€" drawn from batteries or power plants, Expedite Train Movements While signals serve a very useful purpose in providing safety for train operation they find a . more useful purpose in expediting train moveâ€" ments. ‘They permit a more economâ€" ical movement of trains because: to a certain extent they ~automatically controlâ€" the intervals between the trains themselves. The eliminate in a large measure the train order with its attendant stops and delays, sayâ€" ing the railroads millions of dollars annually in trani operation. . The cost of this equipment is comâ€" paratively small as railroad expenses go; yet it makes an item of considâ€"> erable proportions when figures for all the roadway that is operated unâ€" der block signal control. ‘The cost automatic bleck signal ‘equipment would probably average a little over $2500 for a single mile. At this rate the 40,000 miles of track so equipped would total an amount in excess of $100,000,000. : This is . for automatic block signaling alone, and does not include the 60,000 miles operated unâ€" der other forms of block signal conâ€" trol and allows nothing for the vast amount of equipment installed for the protection of railway and highway crossing and for the successful operâ€" ation of large railway terminals, .â€" . MERGED SCHOOLS ARE REPORTED EFFICIENT Compared â€" With Oneâ€"Teacher Type in Connecticut «* Show Better Results > Comparing costs and results of edâ€" ucation‘ in consolidated and in oneâ€" teacher schools in Connecticut shows that 29 per cent of pupils 14 years ‘of age in oneâ€"room schools drop out during the school year, but only 8 per: cent in consolidated schools drop out; 41 per cent of those 15 years of age in oneâ€"room schools drop out, as com« pared with 12 per cent in consolidated schools. â€" The percentage of elimina«â€" tion in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades of, oneâ€"teacher schools is approximately twice as great in the same grades in conlolidnn schools. . Of the teachers in oneâ€" teacher schools, 23 per cent have had two years or more of professional training, compared with: 49 perâ€"cont inconsolidated schools; and teachers ‘in consolidated schools have on the average two . years more ‘experience than those in oneâ€"teacher schools.

A C The only special preparation for the trip was the installation of two extra spare tires on the running boardsâ€" four spare tires altogetherâ€"and then the install:sion of supplementary oil, gasoline and water tanks also on the running boards.
