AS TO GRADE CROSSINGS.

Portland Telegram; Unprotected
grade crossings will ever claim their
toll OF human life. In the latest To-
cal fatality, on the Estacada district
line. there is illustrated, for the thou
sandeth time. the spirit of public in
difference toward reasonable protec-
ton. This crossing is incredibly
dangerous by reason of billboard
which completely obstructs the view
of approaching trains. After legal
investigation we shall doubtless have
the stereotyped verdict, "No one to
blame"
But some one is to blame, and that
some one is society. 1t has not
brought its sentiment to bear on the
unsolved problem of grade crossings.
The ultimate solution is the abolish
ment of grade crossings. Meantime
it is the duty of society to protect
them by warning signals, This duty
has been neglected too long. Not
perfect protection but measure of
protection is afforded by mechanical
devices which, arresting the eye and
the ear of vehicle driver, warn by
night and by day.
In other states railway managers
and state authorities have got to-
gether on the important matter OF
abolishing grade crossings or giving
better protection. Oregon should act
This month Is the time. The legisla'
ture which meets next week will have
ample time to confer by committee
with the railroads on the question
of joint effort in the interests of pub
lie safety. If the railroads should
hold aloof Ia contingency not to be
expected) the legislature can proceed
without them. No rational citizen
will oppose the urgently needed re-
form.

TAKING STOCK.

AS the newspaper man goes his
rounds at this time Of year, he finds
more or less of the business men
taking stock" It is tedious and
dusty job, but very vital one. The
merchants approach the final addi-
tions and subtractions with anxiety,
not knowing what they will show for
profit and loss.
With great many Of the older
stores stock taking was often much
neglected. Many businesses have al
ways run for many years absolutely
without the custom of regular invent
tories. The proprietor would figure
out prices that seemed to give him a
profit, but he never verified them by
the test Of an account Of stock. II

MODERN ASTROLOGY.

People who have leaning toward
the occult have been talking about
the death of Madame de Thebes, the
famous Partisan astrOlogist and
clairvoyant. The most rational skep-
tic can scarcely account for some of
her forecasts. Among her claims of
correct predictions were the Europ-
can war, San Francisco earthquake,
and Galveston flood. But she went
wrong on forecasting the death of
Kaiser Wilhelm September 29, 1914.
In this scientific age astrology is
regarded as a remnant Of supersti-
tious lore. Yet the number Of peo-
pie who believe in it and follow the
practitioners of the art Is more than
most people realize. The occult, the
dark side of nature, the unseen
forces of the world, have for them
an endless fascination.
It is an amusing side Of human
life, except that many people are for
ever rushing to the astrologist and
the clairvoyant for decisions in doubt
full matters, when they ought to think
things out for themselves. Before
making any improvement or business
change they consult some of these
yelled prophets. The seer being a
person of keen perceptions, can make
a shrewi guess from the facial ap-
pearance and mannerisms of the
client, what kind Of work he Is fitted
for. In many cases the opinion proves
to be correct, but II was the astrolo-
gist's reading OF human character
rather than the occult influence Of
Jupiter or Saturn.
OF course, there Is twilight zone
of intuition where human powers
have never been quite defined. The
possibility Of thought transference
is maintained by many scientists,
and many singular condolences sug-
gest that 1t may be a reality. But
when people have difficult problem
in life, they can find wiser advisers
than the dumb voices of the silent
stars.
Instead of paying a fee to some
mystic prophet, let them consult their
own intelligence and that of their
friends. and there will be fewer fool
ish mistakes in life.

And the Barber Kept ON Shaving.

And the Barber Kept on Shaving.
They are raising the cutest little
mustaches Yes. All three of them.
1t lends such dignified air, don't
you know, and goodness knows a
professor should have dignity above
everything else. And then, too, it

to divulge- with five hard dolalrs.
Heine had five dollars for Christmas
presents that was formerly Harmon's.
Harmon meant well, you see, but los
ing his rest during the Christmas
whirl, he passed quietly off into sleep
one day in the chair at Nate Bates
barber shop and when he awoke he
found that the barber, thinking the
young mustache to be merely the
evidences of bad need of a shave,
had cut it off. My, how sad! Har-
mon claims that he made the barber
stand two and a half of the five.

Living On Fifteen Cents a Day.

The experiments Of the Chicago
tliet squad in living on forty cents
day awokc in us a smoldering ambi-
tion to emulate, and more, to go
them one better. So we entered into
one of the greatest physiological
tests Of the modern age. We planned
to exist on fifteen cents a day. More
over, we finally accomplished 1t.
Here was the how. It was thrilling
tale Of hardship and almost uncon-
querable obstacles surmounted:
The first morning we started out
bright and early, full of ambition
and breakfast" (See N. B. ~
All went well until we dropped
into the barber shop for our usual
shave. A shave costs fifteen cents
and we felt safe, but we went to
sleep and by the time consciousness
came Jean had given us a hair cut
shave and shampoo, and six bits was
all shot to pieces. So ended the first
days attempt.
The second day our good resolu-
tion and our fifteen cents lasted un-
til IL O'Clock, when Brick Moody,
who is left handed and erratic, beat
us three games of pool, usually an
impossible feat (see N. p. 2)

Purity.

An eager crowd of highbrows
flocked up to the Vining to be
shocked, on Monday and on Tuesday
too The good folks kicked up such
ado and raised their voice in surety
against the film called Purity. And
as is generally the case, those who
kicked hardest led the race. Deter
mined that if came a row, they'd
have front seat, anyhow. And
every one of those who came, expect
ing that they'd blush with shame,
found out soon after they were seat
ed, that they had been most sorely
created. All left declaring it was
fine and spouting Of the form d.
vine" The talk of fault was mostly
slush and no one blushed a single
blush. And somo few left the Vining
knocking because the film had not
been shocking. And it will be for
ever so, because many nice folks you
know-yes, and including you and
I-some idle gossip magnify, until a
thing that is not wrong is jabbed by
scandals poison prong and dragged
into the mud until the rankest filth
would not fulfill conceptions held
throughout the town, because a lie is
hard to down. Then when the show

his support he felt satisfied. He felt
that stock taking involved an enor-
mouse amount of labor, and produced

faction.
Modern business, however, is more
closely analytical. It not merely
seeks to know periodically whether
the business is profitable as a whole,
but it analyzes every feature of the
business. 1t demands to know wheth-
err each particular line is showing a
profit or a loss. The results are Of
ten surprising. Goods that seemed
to pay are revealed as merely drain
on the concern. Expenses are apt to
be higher than was expected, and the
overhead charge is constantly exceed
ing forecasts.
These better methods work out for
the advantage of the consumer. They
lead merchants to turn their stock
more frequently, to keep closer watch
of their lines, to clean out unprofit-
able material and to specialize on
what the public wants. The logical
outcome of stock taking is a news
paper advertisement, to clean out
overstocks and get the business on a
closer cash basis.

ON ASHLAND'S AIR.

z. v. Carter has been visiting some
time in Houston, Texas, but is now
in southern California. IN business
letter to the Tidings, mailed from
Houston, he says: Houston Is a
growing, thriving city and this place
has many attractive features, but, be-
lieve me, would give a pretty penny
this afternoon for glass Of Ashland
water-lithia preferred---and to be
able to fill my lungs with southern
Oregon air." Mr.. Carter voices the
sentiment of all who have lived in
Ashland and are now away. They
want to get back. So with thousands
and thousands of others, when they
are once induced to come, this invig-
Grating air and the splendid mineral
waters will present charm that will
hold them. That is why Ashland will
have more than twelve thousand pop
ulation before December 81, 1918.
We are going to let the world know
about it, attract them here, then our
natural resources of climate, scenery
and mineral waters will hold them
here. If every citizen would screw
up his courage to the working point
and whet his vision to the seeing
point, twelve thousand population Of
happy, healthy and contented souls
could be realized in Ashland even be-
fore the day of our prophetic limita-
tion. Who says 1t can't be done? Let
him get busy and he will see.
