RAILROADS TO
START SAFETY
FIRST CAMPAIGN
May Set Aside by Regional
Directors as "No Acci-
" dent Month;" Give
List of "Dont's."
Regional directors of the railroads
of the. United States have desig
nated May as a "No-accident
month," and have asked the co-operation
of the public in the cam
paign that they propose to inaugu
rate. The campaign will be under
the direction of the safety depart-
ments of the respective roads and
the hope of the officials is that re
sults will be attained.
Regional Director Bush, former
president of the Missouri Pacific,
but now in charge of the roads of
the southwest, calls attention to
the fact that during 1917, on high
way crossings throughout the
United States, 1,777 persons were
killed by railroad trains and 4,356
injured. He adds that with a con
Itantly increasing number of auto
mobiles in use the loss of life on
railroad crossings is becoming ap
palling. Most of the accidents re
sulting in the loss of life, or serious
injuries, he says, could be avoided
if the drivers of cars would obey
the injunction to "Stop, Look and
Listen."
In the "no accident month" cam
paign to impress upon the public
the importance of exercising care

tracks and crossings. Regional Di
rector Bush has caused to be printed
and distributed thousands of cards.
These cards go into the public
schools, , places of business and
along the public highway. They
are distributed in the nine states in
which the Missouri Pacific operates
and in large black letters, carry the
following warnings, or dont's;
"Don't, walk on railroad tracks, or
bridges"; "don't play around rail
road stations, or cars"; "don't hop
on, or off cars, or engines"; "don't
crawl under, .or between cars";
"don't cross track without looking to
see if a train is coming"; "don't
throw at glass insulators , on tele
graph poles.

refrigeration; it means SANI
TATION. Moat any good refrigerator Trill keep
food cold, but it takes a "Herrick" to

a constantly moving dry air current.
And it's a Herrick that does this
economically, operating with the small
est ice consumption.

A Most Satisfactory Showing of
French Wilton Rugs
May Be Seen on Our Second Floor
The special machinery almost human that weaves these rugs
projects the tufts in the greatest possible density to the wearing surface,
making a soft velvet-like pile. The great beauty of design and color
alone would mark them as wonderful, but when this is combined with
the texture we have just mentioned it ia indeed a fabric that it would
be difficult to over-praise.
A small Rug, such as the 27x54, is .$13.50
A room-size Rug, such as 8-3x10-6, is $115.00
Or 9x12, is $125.00
