GIRLS ARE BETTER SPELLERS
In Oral Contest Boys Arc Defeated
Five to Two. George A. Allen
Points Out.

Are Kansas school girls better
spoilers than Kansas school boys?
George A. Allen, assistant superifi-
tcndent of public instruction. would
not attempt to answer this question
for the state at large. But as far as
the showing made at the statewide
spelling match at the Kansas Free
Fair recently is concerned. the. evil
dence is that the girls are better SPELL
ers. he said.
In the oral contest six girls and sew
en- boys were entered. At the end of
the match one girl and five boys had
retired. 1Ieaving five girls and two boys
as vict0rs.

HIGH HEDGES The CAUSE
Railroad Crossing Accidents Due to
LazIncss, SAYS Secretary Markham.

Railroad Crossing Accidents Due to
Lazlncss, Says Secretary Markham.
High hedge fences. tall fields and
reckless driving are given as the chief
causes of railroad grade crossing ac-
cidents by w. c. Markham, secretary
oNthe state highway commission. The
toll in Kansas for the last ten weeks
was twenty-one killed and twenty-five
severely injured. according to a7com-
pilation from newspaper clippings
which probably is incomplete, Mr.
MARKHAM said.
In one acoid ent an entire family of
five persons was killed. 1t was claim
ed that tall corn obstructed the view
In another case four persons were
killed by train, crossing in plain
view.
Apparently this was an example
of driver who thought he could beat
the/train," said Mr.. Markham.
One man who was severely injured
reported that weeds near the crossing
were so high he could not see the
train.
Enforcement by the counties of the
state law which provides that crops
and hedges higher than four feet shall
not be allowed within 200 feet of rail-
road crossings would eliminate many
accidents" said Mr. Markham
LAS the law now stands governing
issuance of licenses to drive automo-
biles. anyone fourteen years old can
obtain one. 1t should be amended so
that no person will be permitted to
drive on a highway with-an automo-
bile. until he has passed a rigid eX-
animation as to his skill and personal
character by a duly constituted board,
of course, regardless of all precau-
lions which can be taken, we will al
WAYS have with lis drivers who refuse
to stop. look and listen before cross
ing a railroad track. However. with
proper regulations the number of fatal
accidents can be greatly diminished
