WAR ON RAIL CROSSING
PERIL BEGUN BY LIONS
Council, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs Asked To
Aid In Ending Deadly Conditions
Here

A resolution asking the co-opera-
ton Of the city council, the Kiwanis
club and the Rotary club in an effort
to induce the two railroads entering
Americas, to establish and install at
each crossing in the city such safe
guards and precautionary measures
as will protect the public from. dan
ger and any possible chance of re-
currence of the recent tragedies, was
adopted by the Lions club at their
weekly luncheon at the Tea Room
Tuesday evening The resolution
follows:
Whereas, the fatalities at public
street crossings of railroads in the
city of Amercus, and public road
crossings of railroads in the vicinity
of Americas, are becoming alarm
ingly frequent, and
Whereas, there are practically no
precautionary measures observed at
there crossings (only one or two
watchmen being sometimes used at
all the crossings in the city,, and no
other efforts whatever, are being
made to lessen these bloody TRACE
dies constantly recurring at these
points of danger. Therefore, be it
Resolved by the Lions Club of
Americas, when the same shall have
the approval of the Kiwanis Club,
Rotary Club and the City Council of

association.
The cakes presented a wonderfully
inviting appearance. Two large show
cases were completely filled. There
were cakes of all kinds and all sizes
loaf cakes and layer cakes, choco-
late covered, white iced, caramel, nut
and other kinds, some beautifully or
namented, some less ornamental but
appealing by their simple goodness.
One large white layer cake had been
sliced and, revealing soft white and
pink filling an inch of more think,
was the center of attraction. Anoth-
er large round chocolate cake, very
ornamental, was declared by many
too pretty to cut. But the judges
were ruthless.
At the same time, and all during
this week, two other notable food
demonstrations have been going on in
the Mize store. At table in the
front of the store, with ready oil
stove within arms length, stood Miss
Nellie Newman, representing the
Southern Cotton Oil company, de-
monstrating Snowdrift, Wesson Oil
and Southern brand peanut butter.
Her table was very popular place.
She will be here all the remainder of
this week.
Atanotner place, behind the coffee
counter, was Mrs. George Turpin,
demonstrating Mics Excellent brand
coffee. With it. were served hester's
Prices cucumber rings and yellow
tomato jam, and National Biscuit

joyed wide popularity during the day,
