THE MAKING OF MAN.

And the high gods took in hand
Fire, and the falling tears,
And measure of sliding sand
From under the feet of the years;
And froth and drift of the sea;
And dust of the laboring earth;
And bodies of things to be
In the houses of death and birth,
And wrought with weeping and laugh
ter,
And fashioned with loathing and love
With life before and after
And death beneath and above,
For day and night and morrow,
That his strength might endure for
-" span,
With travail and heavy sorrow,
The holy spirit of man.

TAKE UP GRADE
CROSSING EVIL
Mayor of Every City in State
Invited to the Conference
Tomorrow.
TO BE AT EAST ORANGE
Acting Mayor Voorhees, viii
Attend Movement to Have
Legislation in Matter.

Acting Mayor William D. Yoor-
hees, of Perth Amboy, expects to
meet with mayors of other cities in
New Jersey tomorrow afternoon in
East Orange to discuss the grade
crossing evil and consider means of
abolishing it, This Is to be the in
|itial step in concerted effort to dis
pose OF an evil that annually costs
many lives. The movement comes
home to this city where unfavorable
comment has often been made
against grade crossings.
1t is expected that the action will
result in remedial legislation this
winter. The evil, as 1t Is called, has
been opposed in practically every
part of the state where railroads are
in use. The loss of lives they cause
has stirred communities to action in
some instances. Several fatal acci-
dents have been caused in this city
through grade crossings, at both pro-
tected and unprotected places.
The meeting of the mayors
scheduled for tomorrow was made
at the invitation of East Oranges g
mayor, J, A. Gregory, who has taken
deep interest in the subject.
