Highway Accidents

A marked reduction in the number of fatal acci- dents at railroad grade crossings in this part the country is shown by the report of the National High Protective Society for the month of August In the state of New York eight persons were killed The number in August year ago seventeen. And in New Jersey the decrease is impressive-from twelve to four
 This change for the better has been due to the railroad companies whose warnings and extra pre- cautions" the society says have undoubtedly been the cause of it. The companies earnestly striving to prevent loss of life the crossings But they can not keep men guard night and day at all of them says the New York Times nor can they restrain the thoughtless who will not stop, look listen" All drivers on the highways are warned and urged by signboards to do this, but will not heed the warning. and there who will even run against and wreck gates closed to protect them Progress is made every year in separation of grades but the work involves great expens and recent events at Washington will reduce the companies net earnings

Actual Cost of Living.

A Chicago tailor kept detailed ac-
count of what his family supplies cost
last week and the corresponding week
of 1915, and the totals show $l269 in
the week of 1915 and S19. 45 in the week
of 1916. The family was composed of
the man, his wife and eight children.
That is not So week for each person.
Of course these figures do not include
anything but food. Referring to the
items, meat cost him $3.50, or one
fourth of the entire expense and flour
about one-ffth, or 1915. Of course,
the -four cost will keep up; but one can
easily see, if worst comes to worst in
the conflict with high prices, the meat
diet could be cut off and a vegetable
diet substituted. 1t is stonishing how
many vegetarians there are in the
world, anyhow, and really how happy
and healthy they are. One of the re-
suits of the high-prce ordeal through
which we are passing may be a black
eye for the meat masket

WINGED by their experience of the urgent
need of immed ate improvements in the

Tor any one to pass from Washington
into Maryland, save by one or two
routes; without being impressed by the
poor quality of the capitals suburban
roads, especially in contrast with the
excellent highways provided by the
State of Maryland. In this respect, as
the Star pointed out the other day, the
District, as regards its suburban area,
is as badly equipped as most of the
small towns along the lire of the state
highways. 1t is certainly anomalous
that the best paved city in the country
and one of the best state highway sys-
TENS should be so poorly linked to-
gether. The activity of the District
merchants in behalf of better suburban
roads, will be valuable in bringing about
reform in this particular, in which the
District is so lamentabIy in arrears
