Prof. Worley Describes Travel
Hazards of Early Rail
His ory.
Back in the days when grand-
mother was taking her first train
ride, snakeheads" were common
nui scances. The train tracks were
very different from what they are
now. Instead of being steel rails
they were "strap rails" or strips of
steel which were nailed to wooden
bases to form a track for the train,
Prof. John S. Worely of the trans-
portation library stated. T'iese
strips of steel although tightly
spiked down at first would gradu-
ally lossen up until the ends of the
rail strips would turn up. After
enough trains passed over them
these ends curled up until, instead
of going over the track, the train
wheel would go under it. The point-
ed end of the strap rail would then
pass up through the floor of the
coach, seriously damaging the car
and disturbing its occupants and
grandma. The strip of steel tended
to curl up inside the coach, thus
the common terminology "snake
head."
But why mention "snake heads"
now? Professor Worely, curator of
the Pransportation library, has
placed upon exhibition in the lower
hall of the Engineering'"building a
Lecture Will Concern

"The Spark That Started The
World War" will be the subject of

the Education School at 4:15 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, in room 231
.Angell hall.I
Dr. Onderdonk's lecture will be
the first of a series of three talks
to be given on subjects relative to
Tolstoi's philosophy, sponsored by
the society of those who adhere to
his religion here.
The second and third of these
lecture will be "Lenin, Tolstoi, and
Ghandi," to be given by Dr. Fred-
erick B. Fisher Tuesday, Nov. 24,
in Natural Science auditorium; and
"The Battle Creek Way to Health"
to be given by Dr. A. B. Olson, of
the Battle Creek sanitarium, Tues-
day, Dec. 10, in the Natural Sci-
ence auditorium.

piece of the old strap rail and dia-
grams drawn by draftsmen of the
Michigan Central railway which
explain the nature of the "snake
head" and how to guard against
it. Therblue prints are dated 1850,
and were furnished for the exhibit
along with the rail by Art Flanders
of Middlevalle, Michigan who se-
cured themn from hts fathe(r who
had been a pioneer reident of
Michigan.
It is especially interesting to note
the old strap rails weighed about
five pounds to the foot while rails
recently laid by the Michigan Cen-
tral line average 42 pounds to the
foot.
Local Scheols Make
Esucation Week Plans
Ann Arbor schools will join with'
the rest of the nation in observing
National Education' Week, sched-
uled for November 9-15.
In an effort to promote national
interest in education, three import-
ant organizations are sponsoring
the movement. With the assistance
of the National Educatic:^ Associa-
tion, the American Legion promul-
gated the first education week in
1921. The idea was an outgrowth
of the World War, which disclosed
the extent to which Americans
were lacking in knowledge and skill
to serve the country in a crisis. On
invitation of the Legion and the
Association, the United States office
of education became one of the
backers of the project,
