Safety in Railway Travel.

4 remarkable record for safety in railway
travel appears in the figures recently given out
by the Interstate Commerce Commission on psssen-
ger traffic in the summer quarter of 1916 With
in those three months the railroads of the United
States handles the largest passenger movement in
their history. Yet, among all the millions who
rode there a loss of only two lives in train
accidents. Further three hundred and two rail-
roads having aggregate mileage of approxi-
mstely 139 600 went through the fiscal year ended
June 30 1916. entirely free from fatalities TO pas
sengers in train accidents These creditable fig
ures bear witness TO improvements in sdmnistra-
tiou as we'll in equipment and reflect the more
generous ideals of public service to which the ma
jerity OF American railroads have come.

THE THOROUGHBRED DR.. Frank Crane.

In one of the plays of this season, The Very
Minute, one of the characters says something to
this effect: You go till you go further,
you reach the limit of human endurance. and then
you hold on another minute, and that's the min
ute that counts.
The idea is good one That last minute. the
other side of the breaking point is worth thinking
about.
1t is that which marks the thoroughbred
There is something in the hundredth man
that bespeaks finer quality. 1t is unconuuera-
bleness heroism. stick-to-itiveness, or whatever
you have mind to call it.
We have way of attrbutng this to breeding
after the analogy of horses and dogs. but while
there's something in blood, doubt if it is a very
trustworthy guaranty of excellence. So many Wig
orous parents have children that are morally spin
ding, and so many surprising samples of superior
ity come from common stock, that heredty is far
from dependable.
But the quality exists. matter how YOU ac-
count for it-a certain toughness of moral fiber
an fndestructibility OF purpose.
Any mind is Ovef matter but there are some
wills so imperial, dominant over the body that
they keep it from collapse after its strength
is spent.

the food problem and am glad to The Jour
nal using its columns in laying stress upon the
portance of our people raising their food
supply.
I think the best way to keep the people inter
ested and bring about greater interest in planting
food crops is through county organizations because
conditions vary in different sections of the state.
and what would be suitable for the people in one
section might not be advisable in another.
Cobb county among the first to effect a
real organization for the purpose of stimulating
the people along this line, and we believe if every
county would do we have done people would
be safe so far the food problem Is concerned.
and in addition to that would have a great
deal to spare and get good price for it, If Geor-
cia farmers learn to raise all these food crops and
get the habit fixed upon them during the l
believe that after the war is they will continue
to raise their own food supply and make cotton
really surplus crop, and if they DO the will
not be so bad Georgia after all, but would make
us a very rich and independent people.
