ALLIANCE DIVISION IN FRONT
Not many years ago carelessness
and indifference to accidents wer
common among railroads, the Indlf
ference seeming to extend to the
officials of the roads to a great ex
tent. But a transformation ha been
taking place. Railroad officials have
in recent years encouraged greater
care In avoiding accidents. There
la probably a double motive back of
this: a humane1 consideration. In
wishing to provide for the welfare of
the employee; and the financial con
sldenwMon. in wishing to avoid the
heavy damngee required to be paid
as a result of accidents.
The Herald is indebted to the Al
llance division suuerinitt ndent'S of
fine for the following information:
A novel method is being employed
by Burlington officials and employes
to lessen the frequency of accidents
to men In railroad service. "Safety
Postal Cards'' addressed to the sup
erlntendent are put at the disposal
of the men, who are eiit-ouruged to
send in suggestions for making con
dltions as safe as possible in yarde
shops, etc. It is said that last mouth
fifty of those postuls were received
on the Alliance division w.hich Is an
indication of t lie great amount of In
terest being taken in "Safety First
Most of these suggestions were vul
uable. reuorting conditions which
had become dangerous and which It
was a simple matter to remedy.
It Is evident that the officials can
hardly see every obstructc I p-issage
way, every piece ot detective ma
chlnery. every rotten board in plat
forms along hundreds of miles of
railwav ; but some employe, some
wltere, knows about every such con
ditioii and the Safety Postal is foe. id
to be a practical means of reporting
these dangerous things so that they
mav be made safe before someone
M hurt.

scored 42 points, while the Crawford
team could pile up only 12; but the
girls from up the line soon found
that Alliance and Crawford are two
different names when It comes to
basket ball.
In the first half the game was
played with dividing lines on the
floor, and as the lo al team was un
ite customed to playing tiddle-de-winks
OB the field, failed to score but one
point. Referee Jackson being very
generous in calling fouls on the home
team gave the visitors five points
in this half. Miss Hillon tU credit
ed with a pretty basket maoV from
the side line, liaxiiri a cleahot for
goal.
In the second half .Miss Foster 'vna
substituted for Miss tiilion on tin
li.idron aggregation, and Miss Mai
lory for Miss Wright for Alliance
These changes caused 110 material
difference in the strength on eithe
side. As had been previously agreed
upon, the pens which were used in
the first half were broken open and
now the players were given use of
the entire floor. I'nder these con
ditions Alliance displayed their team
work which had been impossible be
fore. The score wa soon tied - but
not to remain so, for fasl work had
Alliance leading in less than a min
ute afterward.
Helen Hewett made the first field
goal for the home team, the other
baskets were thrown by Leone Mal
lery, Ruth Nation nnd Tliresa O'Don
nell. lzetta Renswold and May Na
tion did some fine guarding, holding
the Chadron forwards ilmvn to two
baskets.
Prof. Clements deserves credit for
holding his own for Alliance in do
ing the refereeing stunt in the sec
ond half, and also keeping the game
progressing. When the whistle was
blown announcing the end of the
game the score board was marked
