Aisle of the Car in Railroad Wreck.

A veteran railroad man gave a piece of valuable advice not long ago. “If you ever get into a wreck,” he said, “and have time to follow out this suggestion, remember this: Always stand in the aisle. * Most of the injuries that are suffered occur because the victim is crushed between the seats. If you are in the aisle you may be thrown forward and bruised a little, but there is much less chance of receiving serious hurts. It isn’t always possible to get out of your seat before the crash comes, but if it is follow that advice.”—Louisville Cour-ier-Journal.
