also urged the adoption of a standard
overhead and side clearance for all
railroad cars.
AN examination of the records
which daily come to the ONCE OF the

that an alarmingly large percentage
OF deaths and injuries occurs upon

ayers, that demanded immediate at.
tention."
At the conclusion of his talk, Com
missioner Hemans stated that the
hear any suggestions on recommen-
dations for a Safety First" campaign
There was an embarrassing silence
and finally Commissioner Hemans In
vited Fred l.. Keller. state superin-
tendent OF public instruction, to start
the discussion.
Supt Keeler suggested that circu.
lar letters be sent to every school su-
perintendent In the state, asking that
at least few hours every week be
given ovr to educating the school chill
dren In the Safety First" movement.
He also suggested that Safety First"
signs be posted In the school rooms
and that the children be given Safe
ty First" pins to wear.
He was followed by Frank +. ROg-
ers, state highway commissioner.
More attention ought to be paid
to the separation OF grades at danger
Gus crossings" said Mr.. Rogers. Bells
and gates at crossings are not sum-
cient protection to the pedestrian az
the statistics show. The best way Is
to separate the grades where the traf-
nc IL heavy. and some legislation
ough ito be devised SO that there
would be a more equitable division
of the cost of such work
Mayor Marx assured those present
that Detroit would readily cooperate
with any Safety First" plan pro-
posed. He announced that he would
bring the matter up In his cabinet
meeting In the afternoon.
A. d. b. Van Zandt, publicity agent
for the d. U. r., informed Commits
sioner Hemans that the near~side
stop recently adopted by the D. U.
r. was working out satisfactorily and
was helping to diminish the number
of street car accidents. Commission
er Hemans said he was very much
interested In the near-side stop. and
wohld investigate It before he left the
city.
Gov. Ferris was invited to attend
the meeting, but he sent word that
he was detained In Lansing by I'M
portant business.

BIG BUSINESS CALLS
FOR MANY NEW MEN
3. & o. Employing Every Suitable
Man Who Makes Application
Business Growing.

The employment of so many new
men by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road company is evidence that the
company is enjoying a great period OF
prosperity. The traffic has increased
at such an alarming rate that it be-
came necessary for the company to
employ every suitable man applying
for a position, and the result is that
all records have been broken along
that line.
The freight business since the hol
days has grown rapidly; il fact it is
about the heaviest ever known at
this season of the year, and should
it continue to grow the parent road
will soon be dong the greatest bust
ness ia its history. New men are
daily being employed at the local
office, and as o as they pass the
required examination they are sent
ont with the trains.
The rapid falling OF the tempera-
ture has 0 had any %perceptible eff
feet on the running OF trains. 1t was
expected that the flood in the Ohio
Valley would cause much delay in
passenger trains running via Wheel
ing and Pittsbnrg. but 80 far have
run about as usual with the excep-
ton of No s, which was delayed near
Wheeling today by the condition of
the track.

that passers-by will have full view

Mr.. Caskey's first experience in the
baking business was in the spring of
1894. when he connected himself with
the late Mr.. A. Quenzel, who was in
the baking business in Martinsburg
for a number OF years. About four
years later he engaged in the same
business with his brother, Edward,
on East Burke street, at the old Wag-
ner place, where they worked togeth-
er for about three years as Caskey
Brothers Bakery. Realizing the nee
essity of having more room, in order
to keep abreast with their rapidly in
creasing business, Mr.. w. II. Caskey
secured the location at 1l9 N. Queen
street, now occupied by the Tip Top
restaurant. and built an old style
brick oven which was the only kind
known in those days. He started
business there alone after dividing up
the trade with his brother. Ed and his
business grew again, and in a couple
OF years he purchased part of the To-
cation he now occupies on East Race
street. where he has one of the most
up-to.date plants of the kind in the
country and the third largest in West
Virginia.
He runs three bread wagons all
day long over the streets of Martins
burg, as well as one used to deliver
to the various commissaries in the
