At the Crossroads:-State laws and
all railroad books of rules compel an
engineer to come to a full stop, ascer-
tain the situation on the other line
and give signal with the whistle, be-
fore crossing a railroad intersection.
Automobile drivers often run across
an intersecting road at full speed with
houses Or trees preventing vision of
the other line in either direction. That
more of this type of drivers are not
killed is because God takes care OF
fools, including jay drivers.
Custom has made it law where the
laws do not prescribe it in so many
words, that the right Of way at an in
tersection belong to the driver on the
right hand of the other-try this in
your car at street crossings both from
your own and the other fellows point
OF view and you will see how simple
and useful it is.
The right of way means only that
the fellow who has it not-you or the
other-should let by the holder of the
right of way.
Sometimes he is one of those rube
drivers and does not DO it. Then you
can win your lawsuit after the col
lision for damages to you and your
car, but it is wiser to let the bully go
through on your rights and prevent
the collision-the safe way is always
to watch the car you are meeting and
dodge 1t yourself, unless the other

driver has sense and good manners
and knowledge of how to drive and
let's you through when you are on his
right hand.
But it is your absolute duty under
the law and by all good manners, to
slow down to control and look around
the corner to your right especially
when approaching an intersection Of
streets or roads If the corner be OBJ
lstructed by houses or trees, you must
go at it slow enough to see past it be-
fore you reach it, that's all.
If you intend to turn corner look
! behind and give warning in plenty of
! time: in the city hold out your hand
to the side of the car, toward if to the
left and downward If to the right be
your turning, and if the passenger hold
out a hand to the right side Of the
car on right turn, SO much the bet
tier; in the country, give one two-sec-
ond honk for turning to the right,
and two two-second honks for turn
ing to the left.
In the country, with other cars ap-
preaching. show your intention of go
ing straight ahead past an intersection
by two longs and two shorts: to-o5o-t,
to-o-o-t, foot, foot.
Always turn corner city or coun-
try, on the right side of the streets or
roads, and never cut corner to the
left, or swing out in turning to the
right-this marks you as a greenhorn

Women poino Mems Work.

One of the most striking results Of
the great war in Europe, is the ex
tent to which women are doing the
work of men. Travellers to England
and France report that practically
every able-bodied man is in uniform
and women by the thousands are en-
gagged in doing mems work-acting
as conductors and drivers On the
cars and doing all sorts of heavy
work besides.
This shows unexpected possibilities
in what has been mistakenly called
the weaker sew. Women are subject
to ailments which men do not have,
and when so ailing become weak,
helpless sufferers But remedy has
been found. For forty years, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been making such women we'll and
strong, and as able to do work as
