It shows that derailments have been on the in- crease and that in 1915 there were 8,538 collisions and 6,849 derailments, compared with 5,042 collisions and 87833 derailments in 1902. “Track conditions which are unsafe for the operation of trains at the rate of speed permitted are too com- mon,” says the report. “In several of the derailments investigated the track conditicns were found to be so bad as to be actually unsafe for the passage of trains even at moderate speed, yet no special speed restric- tions were in force, and it was com- mon practice for trains to be operat- ed at unsafe speed over such track.* Definite Information. The commission suggests the need of definite information as to the phy- sical properties of wheels, rails and other materials used in track and eguipment and the strains and stresses they are required to sustain in ser- vice. Derailments caused by malici- ous tampering with track or switches are reported to be on the increase and present a problem difficult to Bolve, better policing of tracks and a rigid enforcement of trespass laws being sugested as remedies. 1Up to June 30 plans for 418 auto- matic train control devices had been presented to the commission for ex- amination of which 342 had been ex- amined and 251 found impracticable and crude and twenty-five foud pos- sessed of meritorious features but re- nuired further development before be- ing entitled to serious consideration. Block system of operation is declared to” have proven its superiority over any other. The report contains a report of the Important court decisions affecting findings of the commission. VIENNA DACKS COAL. RQugstion of Lighting Austrian Cupi- tal Has Become Acute. Zurich, Switzerland, Dec. 13.—Re- ports reaching here from Austria say that the supply of coal in Vienna Is so small that the question of light- Ing the city has become acute. The burgomaster has apealed to the gov- ernment to provide coal for the muni- cipal gas works. ,Cities of Laibach and Styria, it .is reported, already are without gas on recount or the lack of coal. ‘White net waists have bindings of eolored silk. Silk suits are promised again for the early spring. White tullle scarfs are edged with narrow silver braid. Some of the new skating skirts are trimmed with kid. Beaded embroideries are used for dressy evening wraps. Natural guinea fowl plumage on hats is most attractive. A novel fur set is of natural black and white skunk. Covert cloth suits are trimmed with fur for sports use. Motor wraps are usually inter- lined, and trimmed with fur. The cascaded wing effects on the sides of skirts are still seen. Black laces are generally used over whitechiffon foundations. Velvet and black Chantilly makes a very successful combination. Rain and storm coats are very like the regulation street coats. Half-high collars of fur furnish the backs of some chiffon corsages. The most expensive gowns are apt to have the highest collars. Peacock blue, with a green shad- ing is still one of the modish tints. An attractive girdle to a long coat suit is a heavy steel chain with tas- sels. An all-white dress should be com- pleted by bright hued shoes to match the scarf. Cross and silver fox are great fa- vorites, but white and gray fox are al- S0 seen, The full skirts continue to be as short as ever, and capes are Wworn with them, 7 A gray cloth costume with gray astrachan choker collar and toque is very smart The tiny ball muffs have a snap and piquancy quite lacking in the large muffs. The postilion hat is about the only one that can be worn straight on the head this winter. A pretty woman in a white cloth dress, trimmed with ermine, looks al- most like a fairy princess. Russian toques of beaver and other furs are garnished with dull gold cords and ornaments. Reseda gre=n crepe de chine, with gold embroidery and sable trimmings, is an excellent color scheme. If the chiffon or tulle corsage is of exactly the right color it can be charmingly combined with tulle, Velvet hats, showing Jjaunty rib- bon bow trimmings are popular and finished with a tuft of plumage. AUTOS CRASH AT CORNER. Miss Margaret Lee Drives Her Buick Machine Into Hartford Man’s Car. An automobile accident which for- tunately did not result seriously, took place at the corner of East Main and Stanley streets yesterday afternoon when a closed-in Buick car owned by T. Frank Lee and driven by his sister, Miss Margaret Lee, collided with a | Reo roadster, owned and driven by W. R. Beckerly of 46 Washington street, Hartford. The mud guard and running board of the Hartford car was demolished and the front of Miss Lee’s car was somewhat damaged. According to witnesses, Mr. Becker- ly was driving east on Fast Main street and Miss Lee was driving south on Stanley street, but she was on the left side of the road. At the Junction of the two streets the two cars col- lided. Miss Lee was badly frustrated and witnesses state that after hitting the other car she backed her machine and in trving to turn around, banged into the Hartford auto again. Both drivers made detailed reports to the police. 3 If a baby's blanket is too small to admit of a hem, picot the edge instead. Cold potatoes can be scalloped sometimes to make an agreeable change. There is no stronger finish for bias edges than the rolled or whipped over edge. Rub brown sugar on a ham beforel boiling it. The ham will have a de- licious flavor. An embroidered sewing apron makes an excellent Christmas gift to a needle lover. Try succotash made with canned corn and dried lima beans. It is a good winter dish. ‘Windfalls of late pears can be used baked when they might easily go a-begging raw. Do not put salt in the water in vhich peas are cooked. It will cause the skins to crack. ‘When velvet is spotted with rain, allow it to dry thoroughly, then brush well with a stiff brush. A cupful of liquid veast is equiv- alent to half a compressed yeast cake or a whole dry yeast cake. [} Salmon cutlets make a pleasant change and they are economical. Make the same as lobster cutlets. If you want to take a very quick shampoo, use gasoline instead of water. The gasoline must not come in contact with fire. Now that patchwork quilts are in fashion again, nothing is more de- lightful or decorative for the bed- rooms of a Colonial house. When a vegetable is tender enough to be pierced with a fork, it is per- fectly done and should be removed from the fire.
