TRESPASSING CAUSES
HALF OF ACCIDENTS
Grand Trunk Issues Statement Asking
People to Keep Away From
Railroad Tracks.

Fifty per cent of the people killed
by railroads meet death because OF
trespassing on railroad tracks accord
ing to a statement issued by the gen.
eral safe r department of the Grand
Trunk railroad.
During the six months ending June
30. 3S people were killed and "a were
injured by Grand Trunk trains while
they were transgressing on the rail-
roads property. About $500 people
are killed each year and the same
number injured by trains. Half Of
these accidents Il is claimed are di-
rectly due TO the practice of using
railroad tracks as public highways.
Attention is called 10 this fact and
a movement to prevent the practice
is urged People are warned TO keep
off the tracks as their presence there
adds TO the worries OF the engineer
and may be partly responsible for
accidents that follow later.

STUNNING GARMENTS
SHOWN Ar ELLSWORIH'S
street Costumes Plain, But Colors
Have the Call For Even
inc Wear.

Paris still retains her grip on the
world of fashion if one may judse
from the array OF stunning garments
and hats which the ELLSWORTH sIore
is displaying at its opening. Many OF
the gowns and hats are direct lmpor-
ration while others are of Partisan de-
sign and American manufacture-a
fact which detracts nothing from thelr
smartness and probably adds greatly
to their practicablhty.
4 note of som mberness still prevails
in street garments and to a certain
extent in afternoon gowns, Dut lhe
sparkle of varicolOred lights Is re-
fiected III the gay little costumes IoI
evening wear. 4he lovely little even
ing gown of pink silk net and crystaI
enbroidered lace and its chic wreath
of black velvet encircling the waist Is
among the daintier frOcks, but up
stairs where these frocks hang IN
tempting rows tho splotches or color
are very decided and decidedly bright.
One for instance shows com plnatloh
of deep pink satin and gold embrold-
cred net. with a maline sach of bril-
liant blue. The upper part of the
skirt is of the net puffed and from
this falls two full circular hounces or
the satin bound by cord of the same.
The bodice is surphced in the satin
while the sleeves are of the net
One charming frock for a young
girl is of electric blue voile, the skirt
consisting Of several full flounces
bound with inch bands of satin of the
same shade a softly tied SASH of the
voile falls from the simply draped
bodice. Perhaps a bit perishable but
exceedingly chic is one of the darker
evening gowns. II is OF navy blue
maline over white satin, panel trim
med and weighted with bands of blue
feather jet fall from shoulder TO hem
in front and back.
All does sound much like Paris and
attached to many of these one finds
names like Paquin, Bernard, Bulloz,
Cheruit. Mayer. Agnese, Marcus, DOu-
Get. Drecol, etc, etc.-so you see the
evidence is indisputable. Paris still
holds first place.
In suits, velvets, cOrdurCys and
broadcloths are good-and fur. well
fur is the last work and the best part
OF the FUR is that il isn't so expensive
as 10 be entirely exclusive. Most ev-
eryone can afford a touch of beaver
or crimer. il not Of fox. The coats in
line are as varied as are the hats in
size Some coats are short and loose
while others are long With the
waistline slightly emphasized and the
skirts faring Both these styles are
illustrated in the windows. the former
in ii stunning suit OF blue velvet
braided in silver and the other in
wood brown velvet trimmed with
bands Of fox. The small turban worn
with the latter is also bound with fur
and trimmed with pale pink plume.
Hats are OF all sizes and almost all
shapes. Just now the vogue IS for the
larger hat, but whatever the hat the
higher the crown the smarter the hat.
Cut steel. ostrich tips and gold and
silver are the predominating notes in
the trimmings. For evening all gold

South Bend, through the Chamber

National guard, which in the past few

cause Of lack Of interest and enthus-

construction of "A regimental armory
in that city which is TO be used by
state companies. as well as those quar-
tered in the capitol.

any one year which cause results to
be produced which suggest conclu-
sions entirely at variance with the
general tendencies prevailing in the
very period of which this year is q
part. It is much safer and more en-
tightening to draw conclusions from
the results Of comparable periods Of
years.
IF the history Of the railways Of
the United States between 1890 and
1914 be divided into periods of FIVE
years, and statistics of these five
year periods be compared. they will be
found to afford conclusive evidence
that the safety of railway operation
has been increasing. and at a rate
which is highly gratifying. I will not
enter here into a detailed comparison
of the statistics for all these periods.
Some comparisons between those for
the periods 1sso-1ss4. inclusive. will
have to suffice.
There were very large increases in
the number of men employed and in
the amount of public service rendered
by the railways between the periods,
1sso-1s94 and 1e1O-1s14. The freight
traffic handled increased 225 per cent
and the passenger traffic handled $50
per cent. The increase in the number
Of men employed was ia per cent
Were the increases in accidents, mean
were very far from 1t. The increase
in the number of passengers killed
was only per cent, and in the num-
Der of employees killed only 80 per
cent. The increase in the number of
other persons" killed was 60 per
trespassers on railway property for
the fatalities to whom the manage
ments of the railways cannot be held
What these figures mean
for employees is indicated by the fact
that twice as much passenger traf-
hc and three times as much traffic
is handled now for each employe who
is killed than was the case twenty
years ago. What they mean for pas
sengers is indicated by the fact that
more than twice as much passenger
traffic and more than three times as
much freight traffic is handled for each
passenger who is killed than was the
case twenty years ago.
Let US now come down to more
recent years and compare the periods

cars Of the cheaper types have also sold
well, although slow deliveries have in

Anything in the motor line Is now much

certain that. even after the war, the
American companies will have q firm
hold on the market.
On account of the shortage Of horses
and of labor in the agricultural districts.
farmers are looking earnestly for motor

AMERICAN GOODS IN SCOTLAND.

Consumption Is Larger Than u
Year Ago.
In the first six months Of the current
year the consumption Of American goods
in this district was larger than in the
corresponding period of 1914 This state
ment applies not only to grain and pro-
visions, but also to iron and steel prod
cuts and general merchandise. including
steel and iron billets. glass and glass
ware. barbed wire, wire rods. iron pipes.
bolts and nuts, baling hoop. wire nails.
shafting bars. carpenters and plasterers'
tools. lawn mowers. padlocks and latches.
pliers. clocks and watches. woodenware,
lumber. agricultural machinery. binder
Irvine. paraffin wax. pitch-pine timber.
cottonseed oil. lubricating oil. slaves.
soap. and canned goods.
In the past price has been the deter
mining factor in most sales Of this line.
For instance. there used to be a great
sale Of American padlocks in this part
Of Scotland. but cheaper and inferior
padlocks came into the market and cut
the American product out Now Ameri-
can padlocks have resumed their place in
the market and, 1t is thought. will per-
manently retain a strong position.
In textile lines there has been fairly
large demand for American hosiery (cot-
ton and cotton and WOOD.
The sales of American motor trucks
have been heavy, and American motor
