The railroads are doing all they
can do to prevent accidents at rail
way gTade crossings. Something
must be done to curb reckless auto
mobile driving and to make drivers
"Stop, Look and Listen."
The men interviewed are practic
ally unanimous in saying that the
solution of the problem lies in reach
ing the careless automobile driver,
Among the plans suggested are
these:
Further use of newspaper space,
with articles, editorials and adver
tisements.
Lectures on safety in the public
schools, especially on the danger of
grade crossings.
Imposing a heavy fine upon every
driver who does not stop at a cross
ing, one-half the fine to go to per
son reporting the offense.
Enlistment of women in the cam
paign, through their patriotic, civic
and other organizations.
Having automobile clubs conduct
contests on the "most unpopular
flriver."
Secure pledges from automobilists
to exercise greater care at crossings.
Use of bumps or other obstructions
in the approach to crossings, to slow
down traffic.
Placing markers in the center of
the road, to make drivers turn out.
Have automobile dealers issue
booklets to buyers giving traffic reg
ulations and pointing out dangers of
carelessness at grade crossings.
Require certain experience before
permitting persons to operate auto
mobiles
Make violation of the "Stop, Look
and Listen" rule a crime.
Have the road make a double turn
on each side of the grade crossing,
forcing drivers to look in both direc
tions.
A general adoption of the plans
would result in the saving of thou
sands of human lives each year.
It is unquestionably true that 95
per cent of the accidents are not the
fault of the railroad in any sense of
the word, but result from the crim
inal carelessness of the automobile
driver.
The only solution, therefore, is to
fix responsibility on the driver, and
make him bear the blame in a larger
measure than heretofore.

NECESSARILY SLOW
In Egypt, 3,700 years ago, an un
known sculptor made a small scale
model of a brewery, showing 12 men
making beer from barley.
Dr. Flinders Petrie excavated the
model near Cairo. He sent it to the
museum of the University of Penn
sylvania.
In view of the fact that man has
been drinking alcoholic beverages
for thousands of yeaTS, is it any won
der we find it so hard to make pro
hibition absolute in a few years?
Liquor feeds on itself creates a
craving. A drinker soon finds that
alcohol has become a necessity. This
biological process through thousands
of years has given the world many
inhabitants born a certain number
of drinks below normal. To bridge
that gap, raise themselves to nor
mal, you see them go to peculiar fi
nancial and criminal extremes.
Nobody "With vision expected pro
hibition to become effective in a day.
To eradicate a habit that has exist
ed since early dawn of time it is nec
essarily a tedious task, but it will
eventually be accomplished. Revolu
tions of this kind never go backward.

- "Get the Habit!"
One of our friends who spent his
fifth of July in bed from indiges
tion says he wondered all day wheth
er he was any better off because
Cornwallis surrendered at York-
town. Another thing he tried to de
cide was whether taxation without
representation was any worse than
the taxation with the representation
we have now. That shows what an
insane Fourth will do for a man. The
point was not taxation, but repre
sentation in England. We won at
Yorktown, and now we are repre
sented by George Harvey.

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
says that with the present stocks of

6nly way to get rid of this liquor is
to drink it up.

to heartily thank you for your generous patronage.
Our grocery stock needs no introduction, as the
various trade marks are sufficient protection for you.
Our fresh meat trade has grown far beyond our
expectations, this being due, largely, to our wonderful
sanitary storage system. We were proud that we dis
appointed no housewives last harvest and our long ex
perience in meat buying enables us to get the best.
Those who were served with our excellent steaks
and roasts, may, expect the same courteous service and
the same grade of meat this year. -
