Statistics taken during the past few weeks throughout the entire United States point to an appalling number of fatalities caused by crashes between automobiles and either rail- road or electric trains at highway crossings. It has been said by one writer that death turks at every railroad crossing. ready to exact it's toll from among the thoughtless, the reckless and the absent minded.
 T wonder how many motorists are numbered among these three classes?" questions Bob Coulter. manager of Snow & Tufts, Oldsmo- bile distributor. "Is the average mo- torist thoughtless, reckless or ab- sent-minded? It seems to me that every fatality occurring at a railroad crossing is preventable. The motorist who has his car under control and who is gifted with clear vision need fear nothing. It is a terrible thought to harbor, but statistics show that during the last four years an average of three people each day have lost their lives as the result of grade crossing accidents.
 AS one writer points out, a total of 4,350 deaths and F, 75O injuries occurred in railroad crossing acci- dents in this country in 1917, 1918 and 1913. The only way to prevent accidents Is to have ones car under absolute control and to exercise the utmost caution and alertness at all times when approaching a crossing The old slogan of Stop. look and listen is not too stale to bear repeti- ton, for 1t is a great deal better to lose a few seconds in reaching ones destination than to proceed madly onward right into the rapidly moving train or electric car.
 There are times when approaches to a railroad track are blind and ob- scure, but there is always some sigr or indication that danger lies ahead | With one's car under absolute con- | trol, a quick stop can be made, bu | taking things for granted. that Is supposing that there is no train ap- | preaching at the particular time tha you are advancing to the crossing i. | the real height of folly. An ounce O | prevention is worth a pound of cure.
 as the old adage runs, and in my be ] lief 1t lies practically entirely witt
 the motorist, if his car is in good me
 chanical condition, to reduce the tol
 of death and injury resulting iron 1 accidents at grade crossings"

Schmuller i'm His
Recital DiscIoses
Mastery of Violin
Russian Has Artistic Aid
From Mengelberg, Using
Remodeled Piano; Also
From Accompanies Bos

Alexander Schmuller, Russian vio-
linist. who mado his frst appearance
in New York a few weeks ago as solo
ist with the National Symphony Or
chestra, gave his first recital here yes
terday at Aeolian Hall.
The recital also shed a new light
upon the admirable musicianship of
Wiilem Mengelberg, for the conductor
of the National Symphony Orchestra
assisted mis- friend Mr.. Schmuller in
the performance OF sonata in +
minor by Pietro Locatell;, arranged
by julius Roentgen. Mr.. Mengelberg
played piano ingeniously remodeled
to duplicate the tone Of a harpsichord
and similar to the instrument used by
the late Gustave Mailer in several con-
certs at Carnegie Hall.
The manuscript Of the sonata was
found at Amsterdam, where Locatelli
made his home during great part of
his life The work is interesting and
has more mellowness and less angu-
larity of form than many compositions
Of the period to which it belongs. The
first two movements, a Largo and
Grave, are ecclesiastical in mood and
evoke the atmosphere of grandeur and
fragrant stateliness found in the ca
thedrals of Europe.
Mr.. Schmuller played the entire
work with consummate art, and Mr.
Mengelberg's assistance was indeed
distinguished" as the program
phrased it.
Upon his first appearance Mr..
Schmuller showed himself vioIlnist
of the first rank. Yesterdays recital
not only confirmed the first impres
sion left by his playing, but afforded
opportunities for completer revelations
and appreciation of his art. In Men
delssohn's oncerto he displayed
silken tone that did not lose its suav-
ity in the works most forid moments.
In Rogers aria and in the same COM
poser's miniature sonata in A major,
Op. AZ, for violin alone, as in Tschsi-
kowsky's Serenade Melancholique, the
yiolinist was wholly to be admired.
Both in his own arrangements of
Paganini's caprces in L fat major
and G major and in Sarasate's Intro
duction and Tarantella, chiefly affairs
of brilliant execution, he was no mere
Snowman Of the bow, but well-graced
artist in whose playing depth and
brilliance, intellect and emotion are
happily combined.
Mr.. Schmuller was fortunate in hay
ing the cooperation of the nimble-
fingered Coenraad Bos for the accom-
paniments of the works following I.o-
catelli's sonata. For once there was
worthy substitute for orchestra in

About year and a half ago." said
DR.. McRae, "A. BARTON Hepburn. of the
Chase National Bank, endowed the
Chamber of Commerce with fund the
purpose Of which was to establish a
department for the fitting of proper
men into commercial places, not only
IN New York, but In foreign lands.
The idea was to hold examinations
and issue credentials to those Who
passed, after which an effort was to be
made to place the successful csndi-
dates with members of the Chamber Of
Commerce.
AT this time new set Of REQUIRE
ments is being issued for examina-
tons. and it is important that We an
nounce the examinations now so that
those interested may take ADVANTAGE
Of the opportunity offered them"
Dr. McRae has charge of the exami-
nations, which will be held by the
Chamber Of Commerce. He also directs
the placing of the successful candi
dates The next examinations will be
held in May.
1t was said yesterday at the Chamber
Of Commerce, 65 Liberty Street. that

When it was suggested that as the
first lady Of the land her wardrobe

since it would be the model for several
thousand wardrobes. Mrs. Harding
closed up like a trap. She would not
even own up to a favorlte color, al

said she had so many favoritc colors
that it would be futile to name one in
