Nobody's Business By GEE McGEK A Trip By Train. I rod* on a real choo-choo train the other day tt a* a long choo choo train anti it had an engine anti 3 express cars and 1 mail car and •! or S coaches and Pullman cars There was another man on this train, in my car, and he and I hurl a hard time trying to sit in all of those 34 double seals. I tned to figgor out why rolks had quit riding on choo-choo tram , and finally decided that it was the dust for one thing, and a choo-choo train 1* too slow for the other thing. Folks are in a hurry —fha'\s why they have to use Fords atiso iorth. Our train had a conductor and a news-butcher and every thing. Why, It was Just like the trains we rode on before automo biles were sold on credit -velvet seats-- windows that you couldn't raise and doors at both ends. We slopped at a station and an old woman got on Man, she was certainly cussing out the buses. Sh«' aald—"That trifling old bus driver wouldn’t wait for me to run back to the house tar git my specks, and he didn’t want to carry thy 2 boxfts of stuff I was taking to my war ned darter, so I (ust ups and savs - you can keep your old bus, it you ■want to—I am a-going to Dora's on the train, and here 1 am Mr. Con ductor, your train is powerful stuffy •—is this as fast as you can go? I talked to the train crew a riglv smart. The flagman said his trait) had 8 or 9 passengers one day Iasi week—when tlie boys and girl) were going back to collpgf. I asked him If the road had’ cut his wages and he said-—"No, they got moi ■ sense than to start that kind of racket. Us railroad bovs is organ ised." He intimated that it was n; his fauR that the railroads were no making any money The conductor was a nice old fellow. He wore a pretty cap. brown mustaah, white eye-brows, a blU" suit, and a celluloid eolar. I envied that celluloid collar, a.s it did no. fwaat down like other collar,ss d: He was not very kind to the laun dries though He said his wage were the same as they were fixed by McAdoo. He thought it would be fine to elect McAdoo president, ms they might get another raise He Informed me that about 20 of the’ conductors his road had turned oft had gone Into the chicken busi ness t don i know what is to become of our railroad They i sn't cur rates anti compete with the new order of things. They are "dare some" to reduce wages of their em ployes. They are no longer able tfc give good service, except on car load shipments. They can t get the legislatures on in congress to out law the trucks and buses. They don't seem to want to get out of. the old rut of doing “like they have al ways done." They are .supply up to their necks m trouble, and the gov ernment doesn't care to go bam: into the railroad business. but might. How Mtlhm Hto Chanted.

Writes Dr. Copeland. Urging Kspecial Care With Appliance* •SC By ROYAL S. COPKLA1ND. M. D. Cnlte<J States Senator from New York former Commissioner of Health. Hen, >ork gtty, IT is almost a daily experience to read of a sudden death, per haps of one who has been electrocuted in the bathtub. The number of deaths from electricity every year runs well up into the thousands in , North America, j A committee I created by the ' American So ciety of Safety Engineers h a s been organized to study this problem. These men have care fully investigat ed the cases | that have been iBported. They Ur. Copeland found that out of one hundred t,uch accidents, thirty-one occurred in the bath room. Most of these occurred when the individual, whose body was wet. attempted to turn on an electric light. In this way he received an electric shock. Usually the power was 110 volts, but in many cases an even lower voltage was, sufficient te cause instaneous death Standing in water, the victim reaches for an electric switch or fix ture. As a result of some detect, the contact made is sufficient to send the current through the body. I ~Heart tFTPamaged | The electric current has such in tensity as to shock the heart, so (hat its muscles are damaged. The musi-Jes of the. heart are sent into rapid vibration, preventing that organ from contracting and expand mg When the skio is dry and onK a small area of the body comes in eon tact with the low voltage wire, noth ing of a serious nature can happen It is only when the skin is wet, o it there is an open or moist cut .c abrasion of ihe skin that the eiei tricity will do harm Everybody should be warned t avoid any contact with electric wue.* or fixtures under these condition? Please remember, when taking * bath, not- to touch the light switch Another common danger is thai attaching to portable electric heater? curling irons or heating pads which are kept m the bathroom It is e? ceedingly easy tor one to electro cute himself by handling any or these appliances while in the baih tub, or while the body is moist. Vn der such circumstances these eon tfivances are dangerous. The should be used only when the bod' is well clothed and dry. Accidents may be caused, loo b' handling other electric appliance while tlje hands are moist. Whil* washing dishes, a housewife may re t ceive a severe shock ivhon reachim up with wet hands to adjust an elec trie fixture. During warm weather; when th» hands are moist as a result of ex tensive perspiration, it ts dangerou? to handle an electric fan or vacuum cleaner. Contact under such cond tions may result in a severe shoot There is no doubt there has bee too much negligence in the handling of electrical appliances in the house bold. It is hoped that more rigtc care and supervision of these appii am.es, both by the manufacturers a? well as by the users, will eliminate the number of deaths from electri* currents A little care and forethought will prevent many unnecessary accident?
