Fight on Wood Alcohol
Starts in This State

Four branches of the State gov
ernment have united to halt the sale
and distribution of concoctions con-
tanning wood alcohol as the result
of the sickness and death caused by
use of such preparations and every
manufacturer, distributor and dealer
in drug or chemical preparations has
been notified to file with the Com
missioner of Health by January 8 an
affidavit that unofficial preparations
made, handled or sold do not con-
tain wood alcohol. BY unofficial
preparations is meant such as are
not listed in the United States
pharmacopoeia. None in the pharma-
copoeia contains wood alcohol. In this
way it is hoped to detect those which
have the dangerous intoxicant as an
ingredient Failure to file an affi-
davit will mean that an embargo
will be placed on the preparation.

Railroads Favor a
Grade Crossing Sign

The State Public Service, Commis-
sion has announced that a number
of the railroads of the state nave
agreed to place uniform style OF
warning sign at grade crossings
This sign, which was adopted follow
ing a series of Investigations and
tests. is designed to be placed 300
feet from each crossing being OF
metal on a post five feet high. It Is
a disc two feet in diameter with
white field on which the letters
"R R" are to be painted with black
lines. The sign has been adopted by
the American Railway Association
and various Public Service Commits
sions. 1t is not believed that 1t will
require legislation, but that the
value of a uniform warning will be
appreciated.
John P. Dohoney, Chief OF the
Bureau of Accidents, expresses the
belief that If these signs should be
placed at the 10000 grade cross
ings in Pennsylvania it would ma
terially reduce the number of acci-
dents. Investigations into accidents
have shown an increase in numbers
in recent years, automobiles figur-
ing frequently. In August of this
year alone there were AZ grade
crossing accidents. sc of which were
automobiles. Last year 10 occu-
pants of automobiles were killed
and 2SS injured at grade crossings.

People Complain Because
Old Ties Are Being Burned

The burning of old worn-out ties
without warming anyone is the sub
ject of complaints received by the
Railway Association of Canada. A
circular has been issued by the as
sociation. noting these complaints
and referring to the shortage of
fuel. The complainants have been
informed that the railways would
be glad to give surplus old ties to
people who want them and thereby
alleviate the fuel shortage to some
extent. provided this can be done
without expense to the railways.
The association further suggests
that where worn-out ties are avail
able the railways give notice to the
municipal authorities.
