DRIVER MUST REDUCE SPEED
New Plan lnauourated tn California to Prevent Numerous Accidents
 at Crossings.

Repeated investigations of accidents at places where highways cross rail- roads at grade show that many of these accidents are due to the failure of drivers to slow down as they ap- proach the crossings. For this reason some public officials believe that the roads should be SD constructed at the most dangerous crossings that drivers must reduce speed to low rate.
 The California railroad commission has recently sent to a number of cities and counties six plans for accomplish ing this, with request that they be tried or at least criticized. In each case there is a conspicuous signal or sign in the middle of the road near or at the crossing, and the driver must swerve to one side to reach the track. In some of the plaus, the driver must make an abrupt right-hand turn and another left-hand turn before the track is reached. SO that slowing down is compulsory and not voluntary.

HIRE WOMEN ON RAILROADS
Many of Roads of Country Expected to Be Operated Largely by
 Women if War Continues.

If the war continues three years more many of the railroads of the United States will be operated largely by women, in the opinion of H. F. An dcrson, general manager of the Mis- souri, Kansas & Texas railroad. The "Katy" has established railroad training school for women in Dallas.
 Several hundred young men em- Iloyed in the general offices of the road at Parsons, Dallas and St. Louis already have enlisted in the army, while many more, 1t is expected, will be drafted. It is the plan of the com pany to fill their places with women. !.
 MT. Anderson said that, in pinch, he believes women could sell tickets, look after routine work in railroad stations, act as clerks in freight of. fees and. ever collect fares.

RAILROAD GRO ssINa IS NEW
Device Construct d by Clinton (iIl.) Firm on New F,rinciple-operat-
 ed Like 7'urntabte.

Recognizing the fact that ordinary railroad track intersections are 8 source of much severe wear on roll ing stock and are repeatedly in need of costly repair, a firm in Clinton. Ill.,, has constructed a crossing for rail- roads designed on new principle.
 At each of the four intersections, which exist where one track crosses another, is placed rail only a few inches long, which is mounted on what might be called a miniature turntable, says Popular Mechanics. These four short rails are all controlled by a single lever in. the intoxicating tower nearby.
 When track is to be set for "clear, ; these four rails are swung around so that they make continuous track for the route which is to be traveysed. When the other track is to be used a movement of the lever swings the four short rails around so that the second line is ready for traffic.
 Each of the four short rails is turned by rack which meshes with cogs in the side of it's base. When they are set, each rail is locked by a simple device which keeps 1t in per- feet alignment. The jar which this crossing produces and the cost of maintaining 1t are said to be much less than those of ordinary crossings.

TREES. PLANTED AS SCREENS
Minnesota Railroad Plan to Keep Snow on by Living Fence-Hardy
 Variety Used.

As an experiment, the Minneapolis. St. Paul, and Sault Sainte Marie rail- road has planted trees along It's right of way to serve as snow screens. On the south side of the tracks, at the sheltered points, there are four rows and on the north side eight rows, 8 feet apart. The four rows farthest to the north are willows and the other rows on that side, in their order, are box elder. green ash, popular, and an- other hardy. variety. The tracts de- voted to these living snow fences were plowed and twice narrowed, and then allowed to stand year before the trees were set out. A tree-planting machine which, 1t is said, is able to plant as many as 10000 trees day, is used to expedite the work.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

It is Perfectly Wonderful the Way
 Gauss Treatment Drives Away .t.., HOf0vsrh sfi '


 isp Catarrh.
 A red nose that edribbles with mucus is an unsightly misery. A breath tainted with the odor of ca tarrfsis an offense against all health and decency. A stomach filled with droppings from diseased nasal cava- ties may cause untold misery, and ruins the complexion. The bowels clogged with strings of ropy mucus indicates a body literally reeking with catarrh, causing pimples, blotches and other skin eruptions.
 The blood, swarming with millions of catarrh germs, entails upon the kidneys labor that may break them down: the lungs and bronchial tubes, scourged with the destructive influ- ence of systematic catarrh, can lead to anemia and the most serious con- sequences.

Not to Be Shifted At.

In the Harlem court of New York, Mrs. Nellie Colthiss was the principal witness against her husband, whose ar raignment she had caused on charge of disOrderly conduct. She declared he had thrown every portable trife in their home at her earlier in the day, that he was not supporting her prop erly and that she wanted him put un' der bond to pay a certain sum each week. "You are not afraid that this man will attack you if I release him over night, are you?" asked tLe court. "Afraid?" asked Mrs. Colthiss. "Well, I guess not. Last night I threw just as much as he did, but he was the one that started it. I could knock the head off the little shrimp If l wanted to; but, your honor, he makes SIP a week. and that ain't to be sniffed at nowadays"

Some of the large stores and factories in New York city were so badly shaken that employees rushed into the streets. Further north 1t was more pronounced. At Montreal bells were rung in the swaying steeples of public buildings, and in Quebec chlmneys were thrown down.

How About the Mushroom,

That the excellently cultivated mush. room is a most palatable relish, most tempting association for luscious steaks, chops and other meats, and for 'stuffing" under the manipulation of an admirable chef, can't be denied; but as an article of distinctive diet, a dish for gods and men, for discriminat- ing democrats or autocruts, to make for brains and brawn. further proof must be forthcoming. It is more than probable the dominating stomach will whisper that many of the wild weeds which are intimate in the fields and woods where fungislove to spring forth in night are more life-producing and lKe-preserving than the finest mush- rooms which appear every market day in beautiful snowy pyramid at the Hal les Centrales in Paris, the paradise of the cultivated mushroom.-Exchange.

Sycamore Fio Tree Common.


 In Arabia and Egypt one of the com honest of trees is the sycamore fig, which bears fruit that is unique and inexplicable in that 1t seems to serve no other purpose than that of sup plying nesting place for certain wasp, and the wasp seems to have no other reason for existence than the ripening of tnet figs, according to the Baltimore Sun. The fruit, which is a fleshy receptacle holding large num- Der of tiny flowers inside 1t, grows in clusters upon leafless branches of old wood: 1t never attains more than two and half inches long by one and three-Quarters wide, is tasteless and only partially edible; but as 1t may be found at all times of the year 1t is greatly esteemed by the natives.
