FEIGN CHILDREN HOW TO PLAY SAFELY IN SUMMER National Safety Council Starts Cam paign to Reduce Number of Accidents. Chicago.—Community safety coun cils in 65 American cities are going to Impress upon parents the importance of teaching their children how to play safely during the present summer, C, B. Scott, president of the .National Safety council, announced. Efforts will be made to reduce the number of child accidents which during 1925 re suited In the deaths of 21,000 hoys and girls. More than 7,000 youngsters were killed on the streets and high ways and at least 30 times as many injured, stated President Scott. Child deaths from burns last year totaled nearly 5,000. The remainder were the result of falls, poison, asphyxiation, suffocation and miscellaneous causes, “The chief cause of all accidents is carelessness or thoughtlessness." de clared President Scott. "A great many, probably a majority of child ac cidents, are due wholly or in purt to tlie thoughtlessness or Ignorance of the child. To stop these accidents we must not only have law enactment and enforcement and more careful driving on the part of motorists but we must also Instruct the children—not simply tell them to ‘be careful' but make them understand the hazards of mod ern life and how to avoid them. An educational campaign of this kind will be conducted by our 65 affiliated community safety councils whose of ficers will stage special meetings for both parents and teachers, deliver ap propriate radio talks and circulate timely literature. "During the present school term millions of children have been receiv ing safety Instruction in both paro chial and public schools. We are go ing to continue this kind of work dur ing the summer months when we aim to have safety talks delivered at parks and playgrounds, public swimming places, motion picture theaters, etc., where children assemble during vaca tion days. Constructive work of this character should result in a decrease in the number of child accidents."

Alaskan Train Crew Composed of Bankers Anchorage, Alaska.—Uncle Sam’s Alaska railroad is one where the prin cipal members of the passenger crew are bankers. The regular passenger train be tween Seward and furry has the pres ident of the First National hank of Anchorage as its conductor, a director in the same hank sits on the right side of the cab, while a heavy stockholder in the same institution Is fireman. A lesser stockholder places the step for passengers to alight from the coaches. The hank to which these railroaders are attached is controlled and financed almost exclusively hy railroad em ployees. ranging from section men to high officials of the operating staff. Frank Knight, the president, is n vet eran conductor who came to Alaska with the building of the railroad. ('harles Matheson, director and heavy stockholder, is an old-time engineer, lie also came north with the rail road. There are more than 1,500 depos itors In the hank, which has a cap itul s ock of $50,000 and approximate ly $600,000 in deposits.

(CROPS OF 1926 TOUGH PROBLEM _ Railroads Plan Ahead for Gigantic Movement in Farm Products. Omaha, Neb.— Western farmers anil western railroads are running a race to see which can swamp the other. The farmers expect to harvest mil lions of bushels of grain, and the rail roads are spending millions of dollars getting ready to handle one of the very biggest farm crops In their expe rience. Nebraska is promising between 50, <100,000 and 70.000 000 bushels of wheat for the railroads to handle; Kansas is assuring them of something like 2tXt.000.000 bushels. Oklahoma ex pects to harvest around 40.tXX).000 bushels, and Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota anti South Dakota will swell the total by hundreds of millions. In corn, Nebraska will furnish the railroads around 200,<KX),000 bushels, minus that portion of the crop which will be eaten by Nebraska hogs and cattle, which, in their turn, will pro vide big traffic for the railroads; Iowa is looking forward to something like 350,1 XX),0l Ml to 400.000,IKM) bushels ; Kan sas will produce near to VtO.000,000. and additional millions will he raised, by other western states. Oats Also Considerable Item. As for oats, some 41*0.000,000 to 500, 000,(too bushels can he counted on from these western states. Ami then there Is the fruit from California. Oregon. Idaho. Washing ton, Colorado. Nebraska; potatoes from Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming. Idaho, Iowa and Kansas; sugar beets and sugar from Nebraska. Wyoming. Idaho, Utah, etc., live stock from all these states, and the general produc tion. including dairying, as well. Added to this is the tremendous traffic which is shipped into the great trans-Mississippi country — automo biles, farm implements, and the thou sand and one articles which the west erners must buy and the railrouds to transport them. As soon as the railroads saw all these prospects for big crops under way, they started their preparations to take care of the immense traffic which would lie forthcoming. The Wabash railroad must have seen an immense increase in the auto mobile business, for that railroad alone ordered 2,000 extra automobile freight cars In December, and these cars are just now being delivered, ready for the spring business. The Wabash already owned about 6,000 automobile curs. Coast Fruit Traffic Gaining. A big increase in the fruit traffic from the Pacific coast is foreseen by the Pacific Fruit express, the frult carrylrtg line owned by Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads Jointly. In January the Pacific Fruit express j ordered 5,043 refrigerator cars to add to its already big fleet of refrigera tors. These cars will be delivered in time for the fruit crop this year. The Santa Fe railroad has under order 1.200 refrigerators for this year's fruit trade, and the Northwestern Re frigerator line Iihs Just ordered 1,000 of the same class cars for the 1926 business. Since last November, western rail roads have ordered 12,000 freight cars for this year's crop movement. One thousand of these went to the Union Pacific, 1,000 to the Burlington, 1.600 to the Southern Pacific, 2,500 to the Missouri Pacific, 1.000 to the Northern Pacific, 1,700 to the Frisco route, 1JXX) to the Santa Fe, 600 to the Soo line, 2.000 to tlte Wabash, and the remain der to scattering lines. For the 1926 trade there have been so far ordered by western railroads 1.900 gondola cars, 5(K) hoppers, 250 stock cars and 500 general-service cars. In the way of motive power, the western railroads have ordered 155 locomotives of various types for use this year. The Missouri Pacific leads the list with 55. Big Union Pacific Engines. The Union Pacific has designed und is having built ten huge three-cylinder locomotives, each more than 100 feet long ami capable of hauling a train of 100 loaded cars across the mountains from Cheyenne to Ogden at a rate of 50 miles an hour. This big "Union Pacific type" is the biggest departure in locomotives in 25 years. The remaining locomotives of the 155 ordered ale divided between u number of lines. The Nebraska wheat crop alone will fill 1,000 trains of 50 cars cacti, with each car loaded with 1,200 bushels, while the Nebraska corn crop will load 2,6<XJ trains of 50 cars each, 1,500 bushels to the ear. Prospects now are that every one of the freight cars the western rail roads have ordered will be filled time after time by these western farmers when their 1926 wtieat, corn, oats, live stock, potatoes, fruit, sugar beets and other farm product# get under way to market, ami will he filled time and time again on the return with auto mobiles, agricultural implements, fur niture and clothing, and with the thousand and one things the West has to buy front "farther East.” Will Do It Right New York.—Tlte mayor Is unper turbed by the kissing of Mrs. Walker n each cl < o’- bv the burgomaster of Motts.

Above a gilded and Intrlentelv carved door leading from thp sumptu ously furnished anteroom connecting with the former kaiser's study, there hangs a rusty old horseshoe. It dangles on a rusty nail driven into the gilded portal under which the kaiser passed many times a day. The horseshoe was picked up by him more than twenty-five years ago while he was riding horseback In the Tlergnr ten. The superstitious among his forme subjects incline to the belief that th> kaiser’s dreams failed because the horseshoe was bung with the point down.
