UNSEEN DANGER OF SOCIAL

GLASS.
! once asked a young man who has
a large circle of friends In the leading
society OF this city. and who is an alb
stainer, how often he was asked to
take wine, and was "jollied" over the
refusal. He said several times a
week, and told me OF some hostesses
who were guilty OF rudeness. wish
they could all hear the quiet tones
of the physician who told me of a
man he knew who died insane from
alcoholism. The several sons of this
man came to this physician to learn
their chance OF escaping the disease.
He told them that If they kept abso-
lutely away from alcohol their chance
was good, but II they took alcohol at
all he would not answer for them. All
but one of these sons have kept away
from the drug, alcohol, but one while
at college felt strong in his power to
take It moderately" He has no
power now. That youth might have
been the guest "jollied" by a charming
hostess. II these young women knew
the real nature of alcohol they would
at least require doctors certificate
based on knowledge Of the habits OF
their guest and on those Of his ances'
tors before they urged the social
glass. Alice L. Higgins, General

DANGER SIGNS

County Should See to it That Every
Dangerous Curve or Crossing
is Marked
PROTECTION TO HUMAN LIFE
Inexpensive Signals Even of Advertise
ing Nature Would Save Lives. Other
Counties Placing Signs.

The board OF Supervisors OF CraW-
ford county should Immediately take
steps i'll providing warning or danger
signals at the different curves
and road crossings throughout
the country. There is hardly q day
passes but that someone narrowly
avcrts serious collision at some cor
ncr. curve or crossing.
Not only danger signals should be
placed, but the tall weeds. trees and
brush should be cleared from the cor
ncrs in order that the view be not ob-
"tructcd. The supervisors OF Wood
bury county have placed an order for
more than one hundred and fifty Of
these signs and intend to permanent
ly place them, and then impose q
heavy fine for their destruction. These
signs do not apply to the more impor-
tant highways, but through the en-
tire county. In Crawford county there
arc many dangerous turns that should
immediately be supplied with warning
signals. As an Illustration the turn
near the Ed. Fink farm on the Deloit
road Is = very dangerous one; the lay
Of the land. and manner in which the
road. out of necessity, turns. makes 4
very dangerous place. Danger sig
halls, causing drivers to slow down and
sound Il warning honk, will save the
Wreching OF an auto and possibly the
loss of Il human life. Where the two
roads run together near the Isaac
ilo"orth farm another signal should
be placed; at the old six mile house is,
bad turn in going to Schleswig, and
signal should be placed there. A
hundred similar turns or corners
could be mentioned. and for the safety
OF everyone we trust the board of
supervisors will take some action
tending to prevent loss OF life and
saving OF many dollars. The town
ship trustees should see that all un-
necessary brush or underground at the
dangerous places be cut down. This
work does not mean the spending of
any great amount of money. and sure
~ the county is rich enough to spend
= few dollars as Il protection against
loss OF life and the destruction OF
property.

Our Silent Travellers.

1t has often been said in Europe
that Americans take their pleasures
sadly. Some of them also take them
very stiffly and silently. A lady
remarked the other day, that she had
spent many summers at seashore and
mountain hotels, and that if she got
acquainted with the other guests, it
was always because she made the adj
vances. The other people would never
make any.
One of the best pleasures and bene-
fits of travel is conversation with the
chance acquaintances of the train
and the hotel. The commonplace man
who sits opposite you in the restau-
rant may not look as if he had any
interesting thoughts to impart. Yet
underneath his inscrutable mask of a
face, there may be keen observation
and lively sense OF humor worth while
drawing out.
People stand too much on their dig
nifty. There is too much cold reserve.
The man who shuts his mouth like a
clam misses learning great many
things that would be useful to him.
Also he VIII never add much to his
circle OF friendship.
