OF the region. Any camper may OBJ
tain the services of these girl teachers

is the Rocky Mountain National park,
Of which Estes Park village is the prin-

The Secret Of Youth.

After all, the plain truth is that ad-
venture consists less in the experiences
one actually has than in the i%ndefatiga-
BILE expectancy with which One awaits
them. writes Edgar J. Goodspeed In the
Atlantic. Indeed, | sometimes fear that
people must be divided into those who
have adventures and those who appre-
ciate them. And between the two the
affinity for adventure Is greater treas
ure than the experiencing OF 1t. If we
are possessed Of the affinity. adventure
itself is, at most, just round the cor
ner from us. This opens the life OF
adventure to all who crave it. What
possibilities lie in merely crossing a
street, for example! Some one re-
marked the other day IS he lodged
across among the motorcars, "Why not
take a chance now and then and lead
a real life for a few minutes?"'
] therefore recommend the life of ad-
venture. 1t conceives each day as a
fresh enterprise, full of delightful pos
sibilities and promise, and SO preserves
the wine Of life from growing flat.
Here Is the secret of youth.

APOLOGIZING TO THE TIGER
Raymond 6Iathwayt Tells Of His Ex-

Travelling Menaoerie.

In a book Of "reminiscences. Through
Life and Round the World" Raymond
Blathwayt tells the following story In
connection with q travelling %menagerie
he attached himself to while knocking
about the West during his salad days.
"One day just after breakfast" he
says, II peeped in at the messroom
door. There was a full-grown tiger
licking the jam and bacon of the
plates.
"'Oh, l beg your pardon!' I ejacu-
lated. as l hastily shut the door. A
ONE after l met Jack. the tigers
keeper.
II cant fad that other tiger no.

had SO narrowly escaped. You'll find

washed up the breakfast dishes.

RAILROAD CROSSING IS NEW
Device Constructed by Clinton (IiI.)
Firm on New Principle-operat-
ed like 1urntabIe.

Recognizing the fact that ordinary
railroad track intersections r a
source Of much severe wear on roll
ing stock and are repeatedly in need
Of costly repair, a firm In Clinton, H.,
has constructed a crossing for rail-
roads designed on a new principle.
At each of the four intersections,
which exist where n track crosses
another. is placed a rail only a few
inches long, which is mounted on what
might be called a miniature t%urntable,
says Popular Mechanics. These four
short rails are all controlled by a
single lever in the ~interlocking tower
nearby.
When a track is to be set for "clear,"
these four rails are swung around so
that they make a continuous track for
the route which is to be t%rayersed.
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 a rack which meshes with
cogs in the side of its base. When
they are set, each rail is locked by a
simple device which keeps it in per-
feet alignment. The jar which this
crossing produces and the cost of
maintaining it are said to be much
less than those of ordinary crossings.

DRIVER MUST REDUCE SPEED
New Plan lnaugurated in 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 APP
proach the crossings. For his reason
some public officials believe that the
roads should be SO constructed at the
most dangerous crossings that drivers
must reduce speed to a low rate.
The California railroad commission
has recently sen to a number of cities
and counties six plans for accomplish
ing this, with a request that they be
tried or at least criticized. In each
ease there is a conspicuous signal or
sign in the middle of The road near or
at the crossing, and the driver must
sWerye TO one side To reach the track.
In some Of the plans, 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.

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

AS an experiment. the Minneapolis,
st. Paul, and Sanlt Sainte Marie rail
road has planted trees along its 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 row 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 10Y fences were
plowed and twice narrowed, and then
allowed to stand a year before the
trees We're set out. A tree-planting
machine which. it is said, is able to
plant as many as 10000 trees a day, Is
used to expedite the work.-Popular

engine with no less than 16 driving wheels. The set Of eight under the tender
has its " pair of cylinders. In fact, the first machines of this type, used on
the steep grades OF a Southern railroad in North Carolina, were made by
mounting tender tanks o the machinery of discarded locomotives. The first
If the type of duplex engines a put upon the road about a year ago. and

out Of the conpanys shops at Spencer, N. c. The number of trains has been

trains u has been increased.
BY the use of specially designed carriers, the tanks of the tenders were
mounted where the boiler of the engines had formerly been. With 800 gallons
OF water and u tons of coal the auxiliary engine carries a weight of 10000
pounds a q maximum, the minimum being about 100000 pounds. This duplex

Washington.-No one can rightly be

Food Supply Increased.
We entered the war four months
ago, and 1t was announced by the pres
ident that one Of the great problems
of the war would be food; that we
must prepare to increase and to save
our foodstuffS for a year in advance,
not only for ourselves, but for our
allies as well. There has beer no con
sequential national or local legislation,
yet the greatest spontaneous volunteer
effort eyer made in history has pro-
vlded us with a larger stock of food
supply as a result of patriotic plant

Granny of u homes, and of our indus

There have sprung up over night
throughout the United States, in every
city, county. village and state, def

solve food-supply questions. No au-
