MAKE GRADE CROSSINGS SAFE.

Railroads to Appear Before State
Utilities Commission.
Denver-The State Public Utilities
Commission instituted an action
against the Denver & Interurban and
the Colorado & Southern railroads
summoning them to appear before 1t
to show cause why both should not in.
stall safety devices and signals on
their grade crossings between Den
yer and Boulder.
1t is pointed out that since the first
of the year a dozen or more persons
have lost their lives on the grade
crossings In collisions between the
trains and automobiles, or buggies.
The investigation now ordered by
the Public Utilities Commission is
the direct result of the collision be-
Interurban inbound electric train on
the Federal boulevard crossing, when
Mrs. John Bonnell and Mrs. Ethel B.
Ellis, both of Tulsa, Okla, were in
stantly killed. Mrs. Bonnells son,
Thomas w. Bonnell, and ]. w. Ellis,
whose wife was killed, have an
nounced their determination to sue
the railroad.
The Public Utilities Commission, ac-
cording to Secretary George F. w.
Oxley, purposes to eliminate all dan
ger at railroad grade crossings and
to bring about the installation Of the
proper protection signals. The rail-
roads, however, will be given an op-
portunity to present their side of the
case and to explain the responsibility
they consider rests upon the accident
victims themselves.

II a girl wants you badly enough
she can twist a remark about the

she knows she hasn't any where you
