I'm INTEREST OF
SAFETY FIRST
Two Measures introduced in the
Tennessee Legislature.

Two bills have been introduced in
the House Of Representatives of the
Tennessee Legislature in the interest
of "safety first" The bills are by
Representative Thomas B. Hiner Of
Shelby county, and. if passed, will GO
q long ways toward reducing the num-
Der of avoidable accidents in the
state. They are as follows:
Bill No. 35-RequirIng automobiles
to stop within ten feet of railroad
crossings
Bill No, 36-Making it unlawful to
trespass on railroad rights of way.
Accidents statistics show that the
larger percentage of deaths upon rail
roads of the country are attributed to
trespassing and to accidents at cross
ings-carelessness upon the part of the
drivers of cars and carelessness on the
part of persons who use railroad tracks
for walkways aud for Fairgrounds,
etc. .a.. .....
Both measures are commendable and
should have the support of all persons
who really have the principles of
safety first" at heart. In many of
the countries of Europe a person who
trespasses on railroad property is sub
ject to arrest, and if one would elimi-
nate from the list Of accidental deaths
the number of persons killed while
trespassing on railroad property. the
list would be materially curtailed.
The movement to prevent accidents
at railroad crossings, is but following
the recent campaign inaugurated on
the N. G. & st. L. to have placed in
all garages and repair shops along the
system warnings to owners and driv-
ers Of cars. urging them to ''stop, look
and listen" before driving upon a
crossing.
The safely measures can do lot Of
good, and will be factors In reducing
the number of accidental deaths in the
state if the public will but cooperate
in their enforcement. Such measures
as the two above referred to are GER
tainly in the interest of the public
and should have the support of the
public.
That the railroads will heartily CO.
operate in any movement looking to-
wards the reduction of accidents goes
without saying; in fact. many of the
more progressive lines have we'll or
ganized safety departments.

Just a touch of border life from
Squad 2, Co. A. LIST Tennessee
Infantry.
We hiked twenty-one miles to
1ndio Ranch the 18th of January.
and just got here in time for the
round up. They brought 1400
head of cattle in for the market.
This ranch consists of 263. 900
acres and is operated by New
York millionaires, and think if
they were down here to see how
much land they really owned they
would make about four counties
out of it.
We do patrol duty only at night
around the corral. 1t takes from
As minutes to one hour TO make a
round.
This ranch has its own school
for the Mexican children, teach
ing them how to speak English.
1t seems as if they do not learn
worth a darn. for every time we
ask them for something they say
no savvy."
Squad 2 went fishing yester-
day and caught 46, using any
thing from wrapping Irvine to
logging strings for nshing lines.
THERE'S plenty of game here
but we are not allowed to hunt
while the cattle are here.
We have two squads from the
14th cavalry to assist US in guard
ing the ranch.
They have a ten mile patrol
along the Rio Grande to make
every morning.

With this number added to our lists we

retarding effect on the desire of the
