MUST FIGURE TIME
IN BEATING TRAIN

A passenger train approaching at
mile away will cover the remaining
distance il eighteen seconds; if half
a mile away it, it will fash past in
thirty six seconds
These figures are offered by r. j..
Clancy, safety specialist CT the South
ern Pacific, to impress upon motorists
the significance of attempting to
cross railroad tracks with a train in
sight.
Motorists should think ir terms
of time as we'll as distance. 1t re-
| quires a wait of only a fraction of a
minute to permit a train to pass. On
the other hand. eighteen seconds al
lows too small a margin to escape an
accident if in shifting gears the en-
CINE stops or anything goes wrong.
"Forty-six PEOPLE were killed, 173
people were injured and 1872 automo-
biles we're damaged or destroyed at
grade crossings during the calendar
year just closed. OF these, seventy
three stalled on the crossing and were
struck by trains; 263 attempted to
cross Immediately in front of an ap-
preaching train; 1877, or more than
twenty-five per cent of the total, ran
into trains instead of trains into
them: nine skidded into cars or trains
in attempting to avoid collision after
realizing the danger; thirty-one ran
into and broke down crossing gates
lowered to protect them from passing
trains; five ran down and injured
1agmen in warning position; fourteen
were due to miscellaneous causes"
Inexperience of drivers rather than
deliberate recklessness is the prin-
cipal cause of such accidents in Mr..
Clancy's opinion.

BOSTON WOOL SALE
PRICE IS RECORD

There are inquiries for medium
woods in the Boston market, but
nothing in the nature of a demand
has been noticed. Dealers report
conditions as being very quiet, chiefly
for the reason that there is nothing
to buy. The stock of fine woods has
been exhausted for some time, and
| there is a scarcity of fine medium"
grades. Until the public becomes more
definite in demanding coarser mater
ials, this condition seems likely to
continue.
An interesting recommendation has
been put forward by a committee OF
the National Dry Goods Association
partially to overcome the high cost
of clothing. The idea is, that manu-
facturers, in future, shall bear any in
crease in prices occas.oned by further
advances is wages. The association
maintains that the public will not
submit to paying any higher prices

FARM BUREAU MOVE
IS GAINING IMPETUS

The newly created Nevada Farm
Bureau, before adjournment, placed
itself on record on the various big
questions of the day affecting the in
terest Of the farmer in a resolution
adopted by its members, in which,
among other things, 1t advocates pass
age of the alien land law, similar to
that in effect in California, says the
Nevada State Journal. The resolution
is as follows:
"Ffrst-That we endorse the forma-
ton of the American Farm Bureau
Federation as looking towards the
best interests OF the rural population
of this country, and direct our presi-
dent to ascertain what steps it will
be necessary for the Nevada Farm
Bureau to take t affiliate with this
national body.
Notwithstanding hat the
of the farm bureau, both state and
national. hinges on the effectiveness
of the community organization, we
pledge the support of this farm bu-
g to thorough community organi-
cation In all the agricultural COM
munities of our respective county,
based on a sound program of work.
"Third-We believe that the regula-
ton of grazing on the open ra:;ge by
either the federal government or the
state, and the improvement of such
range to increase aud maintain its
carrying capacity, Is one of our fore
most agricultural ~proonNns. In view
of the ~tar-reaching importance of any
such legislation on the interests of
such legislation or the interests of
stockmen and farmers, small and
large, and on the future disposition
of approximately three-fifths of the
land area of the state, we recommend
and urge that the governor call, as
500 as practicable, a state confer
ence for the purpose of giving the
subject the consideration its import
ance deserves.
"Fourth-We endorse the Recla-
nation and Settlement Act. passed by
the last session of the Nevada legis-
lature, as embodying the best and
most practical procedure for the
reclamation and settlement of the
state, and in such connection urge the
speedy passage by congress of the
federal legislation necessary to make
such act effective.
"Fffth-We recommend the passage
of a law prohibiting the ownership
of land in this state by aliens not
eligible to American citizenship, and
condemn the leasing of lands to such
aliens.
"Sixth-We recommend the adop-
ton by the Nevada State Farm Bu-
reau of the emblem herewith sub
mitted. and that the boards of direc-
tors IF county farm bureaus, under
restrictions prescribed by the state
board, authorize the use of such en-
blem by farm bureau members in

MANDOLIN IN SECOND PLACE
italians in New York Now Exhibit a
Decided Preference for the
Photograph.

Many an odd note creeps into the
American process Of the melting pot !;
often there Is queer mixture of the
modern with the old-established ma
tional customs. Probably nowhere in
Brooklyn Is there better illustration
Of this than in the big italian colony
lying in the region between Browns
vile and east New York.
There nightly you hear the Italians
love for music loudly expressed. not
through the tinkling mandolin or gui-
tar of Naples, but through the ultra
modern phonograph. The moon beams
down brightly, and perhaps damsels
as fair as those of sunny Italy peep
through shattered windows, but the
serenade below Is one by proxy.
Caruso and Mccormack, Martinelli and
slezak, Galli-Curci and Farrar vie with
each other in vocal flights through
horns of brass and fiber.
Naturally the beloved mandolin, oft
en- brought with the bundle of clothes
from far-off Sicily or the Neapolitan
hinterland is cherished still, but the
native tunes and airs are confined
largely to the barber shops or the
sadly-altered wine cellars.-Brooklyn

Heroes CF MIDDLE AGES
Stories Of Their Great Size and Enor-
nous Strength Appear to Be
ENGCgcTa--d

Psychologists. after having measured
hundreds>of skeletons, testify that the
men Of our own time average from one
to two CentimeterS taller than the men
of the middle ages according to a wri-
ter in the New York Evening Post We
possess their armor and we do not
only appear to have grown taller as a
race since the time when the armOr
was made, but our shoulders could
never fit inside the steel cOrselets Of
our medieval forefathyrS.
In France. the superintendent of the
museums Under the second empire,
wishing to put on the armor of Francis
I, the largest suit of all in the museum
of artillery, was unable to do so. 1t
was too small for him, although he was
in no sense giant.
Some years ago in Switzerland, on
the occasion of a gymnastic tourna-
ment, the young men wishing to close
the festivities by a procession with
historic costumes. borrowed the arms
and armOr OF the arsenal. But the
young men were unable to get into it.
OF the supposedly enormous strength
of those historic warriors we have no
proof beyond the weight of the equip
ment. The harness of the knights was
very much lighter than has commonly
been supposed. According to one OF
the catalogues of the museum of ar
tillery, the weight of the combined ar
NOR did not, as a rule, exceed fifty
pounds and inasmuch as those who
wore it were horsemen it was the horse
that had to bear the greater part of
the burden.

MYSTERY OF GREAT LAKES
Scientists Unable to Explain the Rise
and Fall of the Water Along
the Rorder.

Why does the water in the great
lakes that lie between a large portion
of the United States and Canada rise
and fall in periods which average sew
en- years? This natural phenomenon
has been puzzle s~nce the days when
France held sway in Canada 200 years
ago,
y In an unpublished diary of an Eng
fish traveller who voyaged up the st.
Lawrence river to Niagara, Ontario,
in the summer of 1885, is the follow
ing reference to this mystery of the
waters: "a remarkable circumstance
was told me by Mr.. Pansee, our con-
ductor, who had been constantly en-
gagged in this navigation for nearly
twenty years, and which he advised
me Is a matter of fact both from his
own observation and that of the old
est inhabitant. Each year the st.
Lawrence river settles or falls a little
until the seventh year, when it is WISH
BILE that it has sunk between three
and four feet, and then for the next
seven years it continues to rise in the
same proportion. TIE river is at this
time at its greatest elevation DULY 1,

formation of this uncommon phenom.
enon. l find that the lakes have the
same appearance"
Careful government records were be-
gun about the year 1920 and since then
1t has been found that the periods be-
tween high and low water are some
times as low as four years and some
times a. high as nine years, although
they average seven years. This year
the water is again at it's lowest in
the lakes and river, and freight car
riers are having trouble in various
harbors.-Christian Science Monitor

Loop-EIevated AeriaIs.

An extensive research on radio
transmissions and reception with vari-
GUS types of aerials has been in prog
ress at the bureau OS standards, Wash
ington, d. c., says the Scientific
American. One of the most interesting
questions at the present time Is as to
the relative advantages Of the antenna,

the smaller coil aerial or "loop." This
question is answered by the studies Of
the bureau. The small coil aerial has
many advantages, but is usually not so

"ON THE ROAD TO MANDALAY"
Babel of Tongues at Burmese City to
Witness Dedication of New
Pagoda.

A curious festival was held not long
ago in Mandalay, the chief town of
Burma A new pagoda dedicated to
the Buddhist religion was to be COM
pleted by the placing of huge crown
or thi upon its summit. more than 300
feet above the ground.
To witness the cermony came Bud
dhiSts from Indo-China, from the
Himalayas, from Laos and Chan and
Siam. Warriors from Katschin, sor-
cerers from Mot and people from 9th
er places made medley Of languages
like that of Babel.
On a street corner would be seen a
barber pulling customers teeth.
On another corner a Mohammedan
bird dealer sold Gagged paroquets to
Buddhists, who piously set them free.
At very modern booths one could buy
ice cream, soda or tea. Mandalay
was q gorgeous spectacle and the new
pagoda was the center of 1t.
Every pagoda has at its summit a
thi, or cap, the placing of which is
often a herculean tack. The one
TO he raised weighed several hundred
pounds and consisted of gilded ball
and crown and q great spindle above it.
To get It to the top an inclined
plane of bamboo scaffolding like huge
tohoggan slide had been built and
was decorated with silk flags and
umbrellas. Up the inclined plane the
heavy cap was slowly pulled. Six
days were required for the ascent and
q seventh to fasten it in place.
