In certain northern planning mill, says
the Lumber Trade Journal, the waste
blocks were once used for fuel. Their value
as such were So ton.
One day a visitor looked the plant over
estimated the number of blocks to a ton
and offered the manager S17 a ton for all
the waste of that character. The contract
was made and the visitor explained that
he was toy manufacturer and he had been
paying double. that price for material
Thus the waste yielded profit Of $500 a
month to the manufacturer, after paying
for the coal.
The point is especially important for the
south, where so many thousands of dollars
annually go to the slab pits.
Besides the toy and box industries, there
is demand for such material in paper and
saw mills, and the prices are so high that
freight charges should not be a serious
item.

SAVING MEN AGAINST THEM
SFT UFS
SELVES.

Commenting on the recent verdict of a
Cook county (Ill.) coroners Jury, holding
that the driver of an automobile that col
lided with passenger train was response
bic for the accident, and binding him over
to the grand jury for due process of law,
the Railway Age Gazette remarks that
grade crossing accidents cannot be re-
duced appreciably until the full RESPONSE
bilitv is placed, not only on the railway
companies, but on the public as we'll"
In the case in question, the finding of the
Jury appears to have been the correct one;
the railroad was not to blame and the
driver of the auto, on his own confession,
was guilty of criminal negligence It may
furthermore be stated that MANY, if not
most of the accidents. could have been
avoided had their victims taken greater
care.
But this is not enough to Justify anv
such general conclusion as that drawn by
the Gazette. Railroads and machinery are
? comparatively recent innovation, and
mankind has not vet had time to develop
the ;nstinct that is its protection from peril
For thousands and tens of thousands of
years men have crossed the road or lOitered
in the middle of it, for there was no col
l's'on to fear, and the inherited sense Of
security persists even as the inherited fears
pers;st-the fear of falling, for instance
reflected in Our Dreams And So with
machinery.
Making the victims legally responsible
for the accidents will not prevent accidents.
Men do not crash into railroad trains. they
do not allow themselves to be run over to
get damafe suit. Men must be saved from
themselves. That is why factories are
forced to put guards on belts and install
hundreds of other protective Devices That,
too, is the reason why, on railroads, there is
a watchman at grade crossings, whose duty
it is to see that no one attempts to cross
the track when there is any danger
Neither damage suits against railroads
nor indictments against careless people
will lower the appalling accident rate in the
United States, but only preventive meas
ures and campaign of education against
| the taking Of unnecessary and dangerous
risks.

"Helen, where did you put my
shoe trees ?"
Your shoe trees? I haven't seen
them"

Don't you remember you said leave
that to the last-that it held mostly
your winter clothes and things you

Helen assented eagerly. She loved
to unpack and handle his things; It
seemed to bring her nearer to him

she would tell herself, he had done it
alone. And now, she, his wife, was
unpacking them. they belong now
to her, too.

She found many things, college
and schoolboy trophies that seemed

in which she had had no place, and
of which until now, she had been
vaguely jealous.
So she greeted joyfully the thought
of another trunk to be opened and
more things of his which she had
not vet seen.

there are some vests in that trunk
which want out, too"

THE BAND CONCERTS

The large gathering in Mallory Court
Sunday night demonstrated the popularity
of open-air band concerts and they should
be continued. One feature would how
ever, add to their success. Ample seating
facilities should be provided for those who
attend-especiaIIy for ladies and children,
many of whom must forego the pleasure of
the music because they cannot stand
throughout the two hours of the concert.
As the concerts are conducted for public
entertainment, every possible provision
should be made for the comfort and enjoy
rnent of the public. Benches sufficient for
seating several hundred could be trans
ferred to the various parks for each con-
cert at very small expense in comparison
with the comfort they would afford. The
city authorities will have the appreciation

vided for the next concert
