Editor The Times-Not so long ago q
serious accident occurred\which cost the
lives of several city fremen. This acct
dent occurred on a Sunday morning al
Massachusetts, avenue. Delaware and New
York streets, when there was no traffic
officer on duty. One square from where
this accident occurred there is a corner
which is very dangerous, it being Mas
ysachusetts avenue, Vermont and Alabama
street. This corner is one square from
No. l school house and school children
are compelled to pass this corner 1t is
one square from the city fire depart
ment headquarters and two and one
half squares from the salvage corps
headquarters.
The fremen, in answering alarms in
the north part Of the city, generally &c
north on Alabama street, crossing this
unguarded corner. Also the emergency
squad from police headquarters in an
swering calls in the north part of the
city pass this corner at a great speed.
Crossing this corner are seven city car
lines, the Broad Ripple line and all in
terurban cars going northeast, including
three or four-car interurban freight
trains
At one time there was traffic officer
at this corner, but for some time 1t has
been unguarded. Surely the officer was
not removed for the lack Of traffic at
this corner.
From the point Of view of a citizen
who lives within a half square of this
corner I think our board of safety
should investigate this particular cor
ner before It is too late. L. J. P.

Editor The Times-I am relating an
incident which occurred Saturday eve
ming, Feb. %
Ny son, his wife and baby were com
Ing in Illinois street from the south end.
When he reached the railroad elevation
at the Union station he stopped and in
quired of man whether or not we could
drive through. He nodded his head and
on we went, driving inside the street car
track.
Suddenly we found ourselves humping
and houndering over the bare crossdes,
with room enough between each tie to
allow the wheels to drop down between.
We tried to continue through, but found
1t too dangerous, so we had to stop and
put the passengers out
Street car traffic was held up and by
the assistance OF the car crew a police
man and a few bystanders. we managed
to get the car in between the two pairs
Of tracks and finished the trip without
difficulty.
We were fully convinced that there
should be a signal there to keep machines

SOAP, SOCKS AND AUTOS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The Chinese are buying soap and the Hindoos are demanding socks and au- stantial increase in her export trade with the far east. due to the changing views of the orientals. The improve ment is of much concern to exporters and manufacturers in this country.
 Our exports of soap to China in- creased about 14,oo0,00o pounds dur
 ing the last fiscal year. In the same period sales of American socks in- creased fivefold' in India and nearly
 10000 automobiles were shipped to thatscountry, against about 45O in pre- vious years.
 Demands from the orientals are in- creasing in other lines. The changed views of the Chinese and Hindoos em- phasizes the rich market which awaits development in Asia, where this coun- try hitherto has done only compara lively small business. The population of China is in round numbers 320.000. 900. India is not far behind. one half pound cake of soap a month for each person in China would mean sales totaling almost 2.o0o, ,o00,00o pounds per year worth at wholesale some $20o, 100000. One pair of socks for each Hindoo and each Chinese citizen would mean 6S5.0o0,O00 pairs of socks, worth. at 15 cents pair. more than $95. 100000.
 These figures may be excessive just
 yet. But the probabilities are for much larger requirements than these within a few years. When one con- siders that Americas purchases of ori- ental goods are worth great deal more than the materials we export to Asia it is plain that the building up of our sales in the far east is an eco homie necessity If our prosperity is tc expand as it should. The Asiatic de- mand for soap, socks and automo- piles is no greater than that for many other American products. The far east is fast waking up. The west
 must arouse itself to it's new oppor- tunities.

i S,T was only bit over four weeks ago i when some of the boys on The Age o> Herald told briefly about birthday of twenty-three years that this news paper had dnd6r the management and pay roll system of the writer. In that time there were strenuous pay roll days-some very long ago. and some during the war period. But the sun shines bright now, and white print paper still scars in the high atmosphere like a county fair balloon after, the parachute has dropped.
 However, it is exciting, and strenuous and always interesting to walk the bridge of~a newspaper and be in the pilot house when storms are raging.

Fairs Among Oldest
 Of Human Institutions

o MOTHER State Fair. The oldest A thing among nations d among the best. It originated when mems barter and sale consisted of the actual exchange of goods, sheep for cows. cows for sheep, goats for cloth and cloth for goats. These things were brought to a common depot, where each came to dispose of what he had for what he wanted.
 Entertainment followed spontane- ously. Whenever crowds of humanity gather, they seek to gratify all the human instincts. The old fairs at tracted the strolling singers, the trav- cling mountebank, the fortune tell CTS, the minstrels and the whole hap py-go-lucky crew of the universe.
 Men and women, the business that brought them together disposed of, disported gaily with one another. Friends, apart during the remainder of the year, renewed fellowship. Young men courted and young women sighed with tender emotion.
 The fair of today is much the same
  thing. Goods are not bought and sold on the spot to great degree, but bar ter and sale arise from the exhibits The entertainment differs, but it is just as much the spontaneous con- comitant of the fair as when Punch and Judy were on the schedule.
 There are no opportunities so suited to commingling of city and county friends as fairs, because each is on familiar ground, the one with the live stock, and field products, the other with the manufactured ar ticles. Each can learn from the oth- CT. They are on an equal footing.
 It has been a prosperous year in Alabama. The State Fair in Bir- mingham, October 4-9, should have and doubtless will have record breaking crowds.

+ 4 % Railway Trains of Ninety Years Ago.

E1HE Southern Railway News Bull
 letin for September presents a finely executed plate showing a pas senger train operated between Charleston, s. C., and Hamburg, s. C., in 1880, and an elegant passenger train of steel cars, drawn by giant 26O-ton mountain type of engine.
 The crude train consists. of small upright locomotive, light buffer ear and two coaches, each coach with a capacity of eight passengers. As the Bulletin says, If Horatio Allen, pio- neer locomotive builder and the chief engineer of the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company, were alive, he would witness the fulfillment of his prediction of nearly a century ago, when he remarked to the directors:
 "'FrQm my observation, l do not think there is any great probability of any material improvement in the breed of horses, but the man is not living who can tell what the inn proved breed of locomotives will &C., complish in the future.'

 But just closing word about Procyon, whom I sidetracked. The lit tie dog is a star of the second magni- tude, one- fifth as bright as Sirius. It
 is more distant than Sirius. It is strange to learn that it's light is about six times that of the sun. It is small wonder that Sirius and Procyon have come down in history as affecting the belief of mankind, and that the super stitious feelings generated in Egypt be- fore the birth of Christ with regard to the dog days gradually spread through out the world. and still have power over the minds of many people of this generation.

Cox Making a Spirit
 Race as Harding Drags

R1HE presidential race IS fuli or interest. Governor Cox is mak- ing a splendid fight. He started out with telling snap and he is driving at full speed now, while his opponent
 shows signs of dragging.
 Cox's slush fund exposure has not
 only put the republicans on the de- fensive, but it is causing downright alarm among the leaders; and later on inertia in the rank and file will be in evidence.
 The democrats can, get along with small campaign fund, but the re- publicans cannot. Cox will have all the money he needs-all the law al lows. But the exposure of the quota plan is blasting the hopes of the re- publican national committee. The cry, Boys, get the money" is al ready having a hollow sound, and as the campaign advances the quotas that promised so well two weeks ago are turned into whitening shortage. Instead of the interests" giving in huge sums, they will be- come tight wads." The country has been awakened, and the people have no idea of being "Newberryized." Cox will carry Ohio and a half dozen oth- CT states that are usually placed in the republican column.
 What has the republican party done that comments itself to the voters of the west? Nothing! But on the other hand, the democrats have
 passed constructive legislation that
 benefits states that were as surely re- publican in former years as the south
 was solidly for the party that still stands for liberty and broad visioned economies.
 If New York looks Gou5.fu now, the chances are it will go democratic
 by substantial majority. It used
 to be that as New York and Indiana
 went, so went the union. But that rule was broken four years ago. Both of these states were carried by Hughes, and yet Wilson was elected. If the republicans are losing heart
 this early in the race, it will not be surprising to see a democratic land slide two months from now. Democrats have often had two terms in accession, but not since
 the so-called Virginia dynasty" have the democrats had three administra- tions without break. Cox is the
 man to get us back to the good old ways.

Placing Alabama on
 The Map of Nations

M LABAMIANS are accepting the E truism that what benefits one section of the state benefits all.
 Once northern Alabama might have stood aside for the port of Mobile to work out it's own salvation. Now, all Alabama realizes that the port . at Mobile is no more Mobiles than 1t is Anniston's and that of Florence, It is no more Mobiles than the water power being developed at Wilson dam is Sheffield's.
 A road that avoids the common gateway and outlet to achievement is not worth while. Mobile is the common gateway to the known world Alabama products cannot get to the world markets as economically through any other route. This is as true of cotton and lumber as of pig iron and steel.
 The Warrior is one of the hand maidens of the port of Mobile. It is the handmaiden ready for service and capable of performance now. It's fate hangs in the balance. Jefferson
