AUTOMATIG TRAIN » GONTROL IS TRIED ‘Pemn. Road Calls Trial Tests & . Complete Success {'" Philadelphia, Aug. 2.—Elimination of “man fallure” in the locomotive cab as a contributing cause for train wrecks and collislons seems to be a ' step nearer as a result of extended tests in automatic train control an- nounced by the Pennsylvania rail- road. “Extremely encouraging results,’ were reported by the road's train control committee following a year's trial under practical operating condi- tions of a new automatic control sys- tem on a 50 mile stretch of track on the tracks between Lewiston junction and Bunbury, Pa. The system had been in operation throughout the entire Lewiston branch since July 11, officlals eaid, and the movements of all trains, freight and passenger, had been subject to its con- trol. The control system is a combin- , ation of electrical, pneumatic and me- chanical devices applied both to the track and to locomotives. These de- vices automatically slow down, or, when required, bring to a complete stop, any train which approaches too closely to another on the same track, whether going in the same or oppo- site directions, or when switches are improperly lef$ open. Under the new control system the track is electrified to carry alternat- ing owrrent, and locomotives are :equipped with electrical apparatus " which, without actually touching the rail, picks up the current from the itrack by induction, The power thus [defivad performe two functions—oper- |ates cab signals, electric bulks, three in number, and air brakes when trains {are coming togethen, when proper |speed might be exceeded, or when train approached an open switch. !Thess functions are performed, ac- | cording to committes’s report, “with- |out any ection being required on the part of the engineer or fireman.” | Cah mignal “A" lights when the train has two full “blocks” clear /ahead and permits the engineer to open the throttie to the full permitted epeed, If he exceeds it, the alr brakes will be automatically applied against _him under the bontrol system. Lighting of iab signal “B” warns the train Dhas only one “block” clear ehead, and that there is another train or open switch somewhere in the “Mock” beyond. This calls for “medium speed,” and the air brake release is set automatically at just above that, Cab signal “8,” the third signal, means “slow” or “stop,” and it lights 1,800 feet before the train reaches a “block” occupied by another train or having an open switch. The train con- trol system automatically applies the brakes if the engineer falls. If, how- ever, the engineer “acknowledges” the signal by throwing a special lever, he can proceed at “slow speed” with his train under full control. Whether more trains can be handled under the new system than with existing forms of dispatching or signalling remains to be demonstrat- ed, according to A. H. Rudd, chief signal engineer, who has been in charge of the tests. Should the train control system {tself become deranged all trains In the “block” would be . Btopped, M Rudd sald.

URGES HOME ISSUES FOR DEMOCRATS IN CAMPAIGN Senator Walgh of Massachusetts Says Party Can Sweep the Country on Them. Washington, Aug. 2.—If the demo- cratic party is to win in 1924, it must go before the country on domestic is- sues, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, | chairman of the democratic national senatorial committee said here. He takes the same position as Senators Robinson and McKellar, who are urg- ing the party to emphasize domestic and not forelgn questions in the 1924 campaign “If the democratic party falls to present ringing issues, clear, well-de- fined and progressive, on domestic questions,” sald Senator Walsh, “it will, in my opinion, miss the greatest opportunity a party ever had to sweep the country. “The people of the United States are more interested and more con- cerned about the government's atti- tude on the things that affect their happiness and prosperity than ever an issue appearing to be more intent on doing something for Europe rath- er than doing the things the people of this country need will have unfortu- nate results.” Senator Walsh declined to discuss the World Court. Referring to the coal situation, he sald he thought it would be a good thing if the presi- dent called a speclal session of con- gress to deal with that problem. Lexington Motor Cars ‘Out-Perform Other Makes In this day there are scores of good automobile values—yet common judgment must dictate that some makes stand out above others. The Lexington does stand out, but unless familiar with Lexington performance you have a right to be skeptical. You have the right to demand proof, that the car with its guaranteed motor will out-perform motors in 1ts price class as well as give a wonderful account of itself in competition with cars sell- ing at many hundreds of dollars more. Mr. Bence, the local distributor, in- vites the public to visit his snlturot:‘m and let us show you the different models on exhibition; also let us dem- onstrate why we claim Lexington stands out among other cars in its class.—advt.

The presert status of the camp league is the best told in a letter recelved from Charles C. Wil- son, camp director. The letter fol- lows: . “Our camp baseball league has been very successful. We have a dif- ferent league each two weeks, choos- ing different teams each time new boys arrive. A league is composed of four teams. Each boy is on some team, and those who are not chosen to play in a regular position act as substitutes and sit on the side cheer- ing for their team. The teams dur- ing the present two weeks are the Pirates, Nutmegs, Heavy Hitters and Gloops. The Heavy Hitters took the lead at the beginning of the sched- uled games, but with only a few more games to be played it looks as though the Nutmegs or Pirates might come out the winner of the league cham- plonship. In all games sportsman- ship is emphasized and the boys soon learn that they can play a good game of ball without any ‘crabbing.’ ““The quoit tournament was won by John Kolocienski. This is the gee- ond time John has won the quoit championship. He is still ready to meet all comers. “Recent visitors to camp include: Dr. Richard W. Pullen (health an- perintendent), John A Dolan (sani- tary inspector), Dr. Samuel Denalo (of the Tuberculosis Rellef society), Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ericson of Plain- ville, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest R.

The immigrants on these three liners, those who arrive tomorrow on the Mauretania, President Roosevelt and Resolute, and those who con- tinue to arrive during the next few days, face the prospect of at least a week, and perhaps two weeks, deten- tion aboard ship and then an uncer- tain period on Ellls Island, be- fore they can enter—if they ever do. Yesterday 1,786 Allens were exam- ined and about 90 per cent allowed to proceed to New York. From 12,000 to 16,000 still remain on ships in the harbor. The percentage of approvals vesterday was remarkably high, ac- cording to Immigration Commissioner Stromherg Carhuretor | A. G.

Curran, P. A, B. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine com~ pany, yesterday answered Commis- sloner Curran’s dssertion that the steamship lines were to blame for the present congestion. He declared that he was “anxious to cooperate with immigration officials, and reit- erated his suggestion that the gov- ernment should allow only 10 per cent of each annual quota to be filled each month. It was pointed out, however, that the monthly allotments would be filled just that much faster, and that whereas now most of the immigrants arrive in the warm months, if the annual quota were spread over the entire year, many of them would suf- fer additional hardships by being held in the harbor and on the island in mid-winter. 1 ‘Weariness is due to a poison called kenatoxin which is accumulated in the muscles by overwork or excessive exertion, says Dr., Weichardt, of Leip- sic, Germany, who claims he has found a cure.
