The Proper Thing to Do if You Have Time Enough. It you were a passenger on a railroad train that co.lided with another, jumped the track, ran into an open switch or fell a victim to any of the other misfortunes that railroad trains are heir to. what would you de or what do you think you would do? A writer in an engineering Journal, after describing from his personal observation what most passengers do in such times of stress and peril-that is, "stand up and gives what be calls sound advice, which is simply drop upon the floor, preferably in the aisle, or cling to the seat frame." That advice is not only sound, but simple. The trouble, however, is that not one person in ten can tell with any degree of certainty to what extent the same kind of mental demoralIzation that causes the volunteer fireman to throw mirrors out of the window and tenderly carry feather beds downstairs would possess him in such an emergency. The man who belleves with absolute conviction that he would remain calm, cool and collected under all circumstances may be the very man who would make a mental aviation fight that would cause the recorda of the champion aeronauts to pale into insignificance.
