Show THE SALINA SUN, SAUNA, UTAH HAS NIMBLE FINGERS Bis Risk Taken nsme Men Who Pilot Trains Through Tunnels Literally Take Lives in Their Hands. Washington The engine crews who drive the modern monster types of locomotives through the longer tunnels of American railways are frequently exposed to the presence of deadly carbon monoxide gas and to withering temperatures ranging up to 136 degrees Fahrenheit, states the Department of the Interior, as the result of au investigation conducted by the bureau of mines in Utah and Wyoming. Hot exhaust gases are the source of danger from exposure to tunnel atMuny serious accidents mospheres. have occurred in these tunnels due to asphyxiation or exhaustion of the locomotive crews, caused by exposure to atmospheres containing carbon monoxide, or to atmospheres of a high temperature and saturated with moisture. These hazards are accentuated by a group of less importance consisting of sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, soot and steam, accompanied by the decreased oxygen content of the air. Suggested Remedy. The Interior department recommends the use of smoke detlectors on locomotives operating in tunnel districts as a means of reducing the hazard due to high temperatures, and e line as the use of the train la source of air for breathing purposes for members of engine crews. The object of the Interior departments investigation, conducted by the with bureau of mines in the Union Pacific railroad, was to determine the cause of gassing accidents by examining into composition of the fair in locomotive cabs while passing through railroad tunnels; to learn the effect of these conditions on the en igine crews, and to provide a means ;of protection for the men so exposed. Gas samples and temperature read .ings taken in the cabs of locomotives were used in studying the atmospheric conditions to which the locomotive The symptoms Crews were exposed. and the physiological effects produced in men exposed to the atmospheres enThe pulse countered were studied. rates and body temperatures were taken and determinations of the carbon monoxide content of the blood were made. Various methods for the prevention of gassing and for the protection of men therefrom were considered and tested, among which were the use of mechanical devices for deflecting the smoke away from the engine cab and the use of various types of gas masks and breathing apparatus. Of forty trips conducted In cabs of locomotives while the trains were passing through tunnels, carbon monoxide was found to be present on thirty-fou- r air-brak- trips. Extreme Temperature. The operation of 24 trains of approximately 2, (KM) tons each, in a normal running time of six minutes through the Aspen tunnel in Wyoming showed cab temperatures of 114 degrees Fahrenheit (dry bulb). 111 degrees (wet bulb) and a relative humidity of 90 temper cent. The maximum perature recorded on any of the forty tests conducted was 136 degrees, while the maximum temperature was 124 degrees. The time consumed in the passage of the trains varied minutes to 25 minutes. from 4 Results of physiological tests over periods of ten minutes showed that the conditions in the cabs might be severe enough to cause asphyxiation dry-bul- wet-bul- b b or exhaustion In periods of 20 minutes, especially in cases where the engine is stalled.

It is an gray brick house with a corner tower and it was founded (for it is an institution) by three southern sisters. During the twenty-od- d years they have been taking paying guests they have introduced a modicum of sympathy and understanding and friendliness into their home far above most boarding houses. Two of the sisters have gone to their reward, but the third sister remains at the helm. The house has a reputation In the South, from Washington, D. C., to Key West; from White Sulphur to Galveston.
