At practically every grade crossing without guard gates some auto driver goes over after the whistle has been sounded; and where there are guard gates, they sometimes smash them down and go over just the same. . “Perhaps you will understand better the nature 0 fthe thrills it I give you one or two specific instan- COS. “On one occasion I took my us- ual run out of Bridgeport at 3:40 a. In. An hour later I was driving along at reduced speed. probably 40 miles an hour. I whistled long and loud for a particularly bad crossing. When within about 200 feet of the crossing I saw two lights bobbin-g around on the planks .That indicated an automobile—in motion. "My fireman, as I afterwards learned was looking directly at the car. It did not occur to him at first that the driver would try to get across. Then he saw him "give her the gas." Those bobbing lights, how- ever had enabled me to divine the driver's intention. I snapped the brake valve to full emergency posi- tion. "We were 300 feet past the grade crossing when» the train stopped. with the one instant that it took for the automobile to get over those rails. “The tlreman in a tremulous woice asked me, "Did he got over?” I answered. “Yes.h 0 did! “From then on one’s nerves were hardly lit for carrying out one's duty without jumping at every sound, every swing of the engine. Little clicks and knocks were so magnified as to make it seem that the engine was falling to pieces. While passing one crossing at a grade and having the signal to pro- ceed, another engine started to blow Off steam. and I started involunar- ily from my seat. . "Another time. after I had sound- ed the whistle for the crossing two automobiles shot across the track one right after the other, at about 45 miles an hour. “1 was thinking how much better judgment those fellows would have displayed if they had stopped and waited only one minute for my train to pass when the firemen shouted. “There's another"! Like a. flash a large coupe went across at about 60 miles an hour. In that coupe was a little girl about six years old on her knees looking out or the rear win— dow. A Woman. dc!" . S her mother was at the wheel_ To me it looked as though that. woman was not think- ing of her child but only of not being out-done by those other two cars— or by that train either. "If they do not come quite so close to the pilot of the engine it does not shatter the nerves so badly. in the engineer that if he could get his hands on the driver he would iike to thrash him soundly. “Then again if things go along for some time with no real close once. one is inclined to become hardened to those of 600 or 600 feet off and may not take a. second look at the cars. Still the engineer knows that the drivers of the cars are flirting with the Grin Reaper, Car owners have been told of the mighty pow- ers which their car possess. of its quick pick-up. and of its accelera- tion. or what use are these wonder- ful attributes if they are not dem- onstrated. But the locomotive en- gineer knows that those who make the demonstrations will sooner or la- ter, repose peacefully at the end of their last ride in a wonderful car; and that car. if enough is left of it. will repose in a junk yard." On being asked if he had never been held up at the point of a gun and'replying that he never had. prbbably because he neVer had any- thing that the other fellow wanted. the Post reporter learned from the engineer that the hole in the barrel of the ”gat".lookcd as big as a wash- tub and the bullets the size of can- non-balls. HARD 0N DELINQUENTS. British Judges have no sympathy drunken. or reckless drivers. The police have a strict test for those thought to be drunk while driving. If a driver can't produce his driver's license. when asked. he gets a high line. no matter what his excuse may be. Sometimes it arouses a, feeling with- ’ Thirteen Husky Alaskan DOgSI “Mush” “Tourists Across U. 'S. \. MILWAUKEE. Aug. 25,—0n a sled-wagon of "thirteen (log-power." two Minneapolis youths. \i‘iliium A. Blomberg and Owen Chamberlin. have started out 'to “mush" their way across the country. Thirteen husky Alaskan dogs, who don't seem to mind the lack of snow and ice Ii bit, are being used by the. two men to beat the high price of gasoline—the great worry of Ameri- ca’s huge army of “tin tour- ists. ‘ -. But while they can I», p filling Stations unnoticed, the“ . s slow down noticeably at every meat mar- lmt the emergency application of —Advcrtise in the Sentinel; hat and sixty pounds or raw meat are necessary every day to keep this » ‘\ u unique procession moving. Meat is fed them in large chunks. With the exception of the wheels, the. sled-wagon in which Blomberg and Chamberlin ride part of the time is exactly like the Alaskan sled used to cross the Arctic wastes in winter. About 32 miles a day in the aver- age distance "musher" by the dog team. but the tourists have covered as much as 44 miles in seven hours. It‘ the weather is cool, the string , of dogs travels by day. but other- ' wise it starts out at sunset and jogs along until midnight or later. ' Us- ually nine dogs pull the sled-wagon. the others following behind. >’_4.; 1 The new way in which Two Minneapolis youths are touring the'country. Above is their dog procession. below at the right is their sled-wagon, and at the left is Teddy, the leader of the dog team. It one of the dogs is sick, Blom- ' berg and amberlin walk and the “missing cylinder'_' rides. Every lake the tourists pass means a stop. because the dogs won't go by until they have had a swim. Teddy. a beautiful specimen of the Alaskan dog. is the leader of the puck. hie vguides the out through traffic with uncanny skill. and turns a corner after a. shout of "sec" or "haw" just like a horse. All the dogs were raised by Biom- herg. who has one'of the finest ken- nels of Alaskan dogs in this country. The tourists hope to reach New’“ York by early winter, and "mush" " down Broadway in a snowstorm, . '. I. v i \. v RE-OPENING AT 8:30 . TOMORROW MORNING AT MARK-OFT’S ’ 42 SO. Main St. 0.
