SAFETY FIRST.

The fatal and deplorable accident
rear Warrington yesterday afternoon,
brings TO the foreground most en-
phatIcalIy the advisability Of adopting
the policy Of safety first in everything.
A little boy. aged 8 years. Just
starting the journey Of life. had his
tife snafed out in the twinkling Of an
eye; one man was killed, another Sc
Tiousiy injured, and n woman badly
hurt IN the accident yesterday al
teEuoOr.
And Why?
Because the policy Of safety first
Vas not adhered to.
Shortly before the accident, the
meutbers Of the party had started for
the Warrington station, in order that
AVIS hoffman, one OF the members
81 the party might take a train for
his home in Belmont, Ohio. While
approaching the railroad track at Hat
fers Crossing in an effort to get
across the railroad before No. 16,
which was fast bearing down on the
machine, reached the crossing, the
driver Of the car lost control OF his
machine with the result that the IA
IN accident is now a matter OF record.
Hsd the driver observed the safety
drst motto and allowed the train the
mn right Of way and waited until No
Is has passed before crossing the
tracks, the accident would neve have
occurred.
Il might have been very important
for the members of the party to
me track ahead Of the train but nothing
Is 90 important as safety, nothing 50
sweet as life. 1t goes without saying
nat the price paid by the automobile

fort to ave a few minutes time is
appalling. Taking a chance when hu'

judgment
The driver of the car in the fatal
accident yesterday took no greater
chance than thousands of people take
eTsry day, and it is likely that the
rarely near Warrington will not
stop people from taking chances, a.
though 1t win probably make those
Who live In the vicinity Of the place
where the accident took place a little
more careful for the time being. There
s only one way to ure an individual
Hho WI take chances, and that is by

costly.
How many of US take absolutely in
sane chances in order to catch a train

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which IS moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

COMMUNICATIONS
Farming Compared with other Lines
of Business.

J Men as rule think that the vale of
delight lies beyond the next hilltop and
that a more delightful time is coming
when we shall have more leisure, more
enjoyment and more happiness. Ia
like manner we allow ourselves to think
| that other callings are better than our
own. No one is more ready to criticise
+ the business of farming than the farm
er himself. He believes that men in
other business do less work and receive
more pay than he. He leads his son to
believe that he must prepare himself
for some business in which he can get
his living easier than he can on the
farm. AS result the son is found in
the classical or the engineering courses
when he reaches college instead of the
agricultural course, oftentimes to 60
back to the farm after college days are
over as it offers him better opportun-
tiles than his chosen field.
The constantly increasing scale On
which business is being done each year,
makes it more difficult for the man
with limited capital to build up bust
ness for himself, one in which he shall
be the master and not the servant.
Farming too. calls for capital and the
want of it is often the means of poor
returns, yet it is far easier for a man
with limited capital to establish an IN
dependent business by farming than in
mercantile or manufacturing lines. He
cannot always reach the best market
or place his goods on the market to the
best advantage if he has only limited
amount, but he can reach some market
and usually one which will yield profit
above the cost of production if that has
been managed we'll. This market, too,
will generally take all he can produce,
while the merchants great problem is
to know how much he can sell.
The safety of the capital invested is
of prime Importance. 1t is very sell
dom, indeed, that we hear of farming
business failing if it has been managed
properly, but we can hardly pick up
a daily paper without seeing where
some large mercantile or manufacture
ing business has failed.
The prospect of continued livelihood
is far more promising to farmer than
to onyone else in business. The INTEL
igent, industrious farmer need look
upon the future with no fear. Except
as the result of some unusual misfor-
tune his support is secured to the end
of his days. Even when he is no longer
able to work his farm will continue to
yield him the comforts of life. His
wants are simple and natural and are
supplied at minimum cost because OBJ |
tanned at the source instead of at the
mouth of the stream of distribution.

Hyattsville Items.

Miss Annette Morley entertain
ed a few of her friends at a Val
entine party at her home on Ivy
street last Saturday night. A
feature of the evening was the
singing of Miss Tamela Thomp-
son. Several games were play
ed, and first honors went to Miss
Dorothy Thompson. Those
present were, the Misses Tawela
Thompson, Dorothy Thompson,
Pearl Herring, Minnie Pagan,
Mae Taylor. Dorothy Rider,
Blanche Whsle, Edith Morley,
and Annette Morley, Mrs. Sydney
Sherwood and Mr.. and Mrs. G.
M. Morley.
Awakened by the smell of
smoke, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward B.
Martin of West Riverdale, had
just time to escape half clad
from their home 4::30 o'clock last
Friday morning. Cropping blind
ly through the smoke, they found
the first floor in flames but the
stairway exit was not cut off.
The alarm was sent to the
Hyattsville department, and the
Rev. Father D. C. keenan,, pas
tor of St. Jerome's Catholic
Church, had the alarm rang for
nearly an hour, Weakening prac-
tically every body in the town.
The local fremen devoted them
selves to a strenuous effert to
save nearby houses. The Mar
tin home was burned nearly to
the ground before the freight
ers could reach the scene. A
bucket brigade prevented the
sparks from catching nearby
buildings Mayor Oswald
Greager, of Hyattsville, took
personal charge of the freight
ers. There was not time to save
valuable jewelry and diamonds,
and handsome mahogany furni-
ture from the house. The build
ing was valued at 50, 500 and it's
contents at more than $1,000.
Both were partially covered by
insurance.
A near panic ensued last
Thursday night at the Mt. Rain
Ter moving picture theatre when
the film being shown on the
screen caught on fire. The
flames burst through an opening
above the head of James Nickel
lar, the operator, and the room
was filled with dense smoke.
The cool heads of the older
people prevented the many chill
dren present from becoming
panic stricken, and one or two Of
the youngsters were kept from
jumping through the windows.
Mex ellar, who suffereda severe
ly burned hand, was the only
person hurt. Potts Hall, in
which the show was being held,
was damaged to the extent of
$3.50 and the damage to the ma
chine was estimated to be about
$3.50. The fire was caused by
the re-wind swheel failing to
work, and the operator allowed
the film to run on the floor re-
winding it by hand when finish
ed. A spark fell into the rolls
and caused the trouble.
