Of the tracks. The motor was sent forward
with that disregard for possible eonse-
quences which has come to be considered as
a chronic symptom of the speed mania
which affiicts many of the devotees of the
motoring sport.
But however the chauffeurs act at cross
ings, the steam railroads should not be per-
mitted to maintain such death traps. This
particular intersection of road and tracks
was not protected by even barrier gate
and a fagman- Yet the region Is thickly
populated and the highway is in constant
use. The residents of the neighborhood
and especially the members of the club
toward which the motor was being speeded
are now clamorous for an abatement OF
the dangerous nuisance. 1t would be inter-
esting to know how far they have gone In
the past In their efforts to secure the nee
essary change. Does 1t require a tragedy
In every individual case of grade crossing
to induce the railroad corporations to bring
their equipment up to the modern standard
of safety?
The only safe system of railroad track
age through closely populated sections.
however far removed from cities calls for
the submergence or elevation of the rails
at every point of intersection with the high
way Gates and flagmen are unreliable as
safeguards 1t must become impossible
for any person. pedestrian driver or chauf-
feur to get upon the tracks at the regu-
iarly appointed crossings Only then will
these fatalities cease. and until then the
railroads must be held primarily responsible
FOR the deaths that ensue, whether the VIC
TINS are themselves guilty of criminal care
lessDess or not

Floral Charm for Cities,
From the Newark Adrertlser.

From the Newark Advertiser
Window-box plants give beauty to a house
and neighborhood. The great majority of
dwellings front directly on the sidewalk
and have no side gardens. the houses touch
ing each other on either side There u.s.
therefore. no opportunity for floral display
except in the windows. American cities
generally lack this pretty decoration, which
is common enough in many cities and towns
of Europe, making the poorest neighbor-
hoods picturesque. but the custom Is grow
ing in American cities, notably Philadelphia
1.-The city of homes" 1t would be gratifying
to see residential neghborhoods in Newark
thus beseutfied. There Is little enough ex-
pense. window box can be homemade
and the geraniums and other plants cost a
tri1e, including an English ivy for draping
the box. Those people who love flowers
and can afford little more expense may
produce pleasing effects with porch boxes
and balcony boxes, making a charm within
as well as without the dwelling.
