Li9htS For All Vehicles.

Automobile Commissioner Baughman
has called attention to the fact that on
July | there went into effect the act of
the last Legislature requiring lights on
all horse drawn vehicles. The law ap-
plies to the entire State, and violations
are subject to fines of from SIS to $40.
Under the law all horse-drawn vehicles
in use or at rest on public highways of
the State. or of any city. county, town,
or village, during the period of from one
half hour after sunset to one hour before
sunrise, shall display not less than one
bright light, so placed as to be clearly
visible both from the front and rear for
a distance of 200 feet. 1t is also pro-
vided that vehicles may display, at op.
tion of the owner or user, one white light
visible from the front, and one red light,
visible from the rear, for the same dis
tance of 200 feet.
Nothing in the new law applies to mo-
tor vehicles, which are governed by pro-

On Monday of this week fire broke out
on the property Of Mr.. Harvey STAN
baugh situated on the Graceham-Creag-
erstown road and about one mile from
Graceham, now tenanted by Mr.. Roy
Dinterman. The blaze was first seen on
the barn roof.
Mr.. Stambaugh was doing his thresh-
ing and it is supposed that spark from
the engine fell on the roof and started
the blaze. One of the men present rush
ed to the roof with bucket OF water
and soon extinguished the blaze on the
shingles, but sparks had fallen through
on to the hay in the NOW and soon the
entire interior was in flames.
Several horses in the stable were got
ten out of the stable in the nick of time.
The threshing rig in charge of Mr.. John
r. Speak was pulled away from the stack
and was not injured.
The Ajax chemical engine at Grace
ham was taken to the fire, but was of
little use because of the headway made
by the fire. the buildings being practi-
cally in ashes when it arrived. The con-
tents of the tank was used, however, and
was very effective where applied.
The wheat crop had been threshed and
the wheat removed. Portion of the rye
was threshed and what remained on the
stack was burned together with the barn
wagon shed, henhouse and hay. Heat
from the fire set the dwelling on fire, but
this was subdued and but little damage
was done.
Insurance to the amount of SITS was
carried on tho buildings, but none on the
crops.

LEAPS FROM EXPRESS TRAIN
TO ESCAPE FROM THE HUNS

Pat O'Brien, the daring American
aviator who escaped from train
bearin him to German prison camp,
says in the June American Magazine: ::
81 began to cough violently, as If
the smoke in the compartment was
choking me. So, when | opened the
window again, as if had to have air,
the guards didn't interfere. l had
been figuring out plan for making
the jump a quick enough one to pre-
vent their catching me and pulling me
back.
81 had some bread and sausage in
sort of knapsack had made out of an
old gas bag, and acted as if | wanted
to put this up in the rack. To do this,
| stood on the edge of the seat and
took hold of the strap. Pretending to
sway with the train, tested this strap
and found it would bear my weight.
So then with my bag and the precious
food in it, / gave one of two lurches,
as the train rocked, and then threw
myself straight out of the window.
81 landed on my feet, but my head
struck the ground at almost the same
instant and lost consciousness. 1t
was only for few moments however,
for l pulled myself together quickly
and started to run off the right of
way. The train was stopped half a
mile further on, but by the time they
came back | was lost in the darkness.
Fortunately, was so dazed that had
headed the wrong way---back into
Germany. | say fortunately because
if they searched for me they probably
went the other way. BY the time l
changed my course l was able to take
my way through a different section
where they were less likely to be look
ing for me.

THE RED CROSS - THE UNIT OF
HUMANITY

In all this welter and confusion,
wars and rumors of war, through all
the hate and slaughter and accusa-
ton and denial and misunderstand-
ing, runs one deep, low tone of har-
mony.
Beneath the painful discord is one
healing tone, a broad, unifying di-
apason.
1t is the Red Cross.
Among our strident Inhumanitles
this is the one thing human.
We may quarrel in traffic, strive
in politics and party, envy IN learn
ing, contend over possessions, and
wound and slay in angry pride, but
in a gesture of mercy we all, friend
and foe, suddenly fuse and blend.
One touch of mercy makes the
whole world kin.
The Red Cross is the inarticulate
protest of humanity against the do
ings of Nations
1t is the assurance of the Christ
that He has not wholly abandoned
His world. - DIR. Frank Crane in the
Red Cross Magazine for June.
