WARNS
!. OF R.R. TRAINS:
Inevntion Of E. M. Yates Gives
Startling Notice to Unwary
Travellers.

4
In the hope Of minimizing, IL not
entirely eliminating grade crossing
accidents, z. M. Yates, employed
at the Air Mail Service Field. Col
lege Park, Nd, has invented de-
vice which he believes will give
such striking and startling notice
of the approach of train that
few vehicle drivers would fail to
heed it. Such is his interest in the
safety first campaign and reduc-
ton Of fatalities at grade cross,
ings that he offers TO give the
device to the public free of all cost.
UNDULATING BRIDGE
The invention consists of flex-
ibie or undulating bridge, which
would be placed about 200 yards
from the grade crossing and give
warning OF an oncoming train By
heaving like the waves Of the sea
II would be operated by the on
coming train. The theory OF the In
vention is that the approaching
train would make the bridge flexible
So that any vehicle passing over II
would sink and rise IN such fash
ion as to forcefuily impress the
driver with his or her danger. Aftax
the train has passed, the bridge
would be automatically locked into
rigid position and remain SO until
made flexible by another train.
II have been giving many years
study to grade-crossing accidents
and their prevention" said Inventor
Yates yesterday. THE recent fatal
accident at College Park, Nd.
prompts me to offer my Invention
&c the public without cost.
MAKES DRIVERS GO SLOW.
MY device insures slow driving
CT vehicles crossing the flexible or
undulating bridge. II also provides
tor a reasonable check in speed by
any driver who can clearly see 100
feet ahead of his vehicle, by pro-
viding an abrupt rise In the road
way, thanked on either side by a
fence which would make II neces-
sary for the driver to use the
bridge When he uses the bridge the
fiexibility of the structure will inn
mediately call his attention to the
danger at the crossing ahead. The
device would be inexpensive to con-
struct and, maintain, automatic In
action and be immune from human
csrelessness."
When the device was shown TO
Captain Headley. Of the metropolitan
police force. he manifested consid-
cradle interest in II and suggested
{. Inventor Yates that the latter
have IL installed on private property
t. test its efficacy. The inventor
has a small working, model of the
device and says he will be glad to
de monstrate II to any one interested
In the elimination of grade-crossing
accidents.

come intolerable. With the clerical

cred here, more than 100000 women
were engaged In Government work.
"The Commission on Training Camp
Activities, greatly concerned by the
position in which thousands of these
women were found in overcrowded
quarters and with Inadequate eating
facilities, asked the War Work
Council OF the Young Women's Chris
tian Association to do all that was
in it's power to relieve the situation,
states THE Association Monthly" in
it's account OF the building of the
hotel.
1.-THE cost of the building was put
into the budget OF the second cam!

was heartily, approved by the war
Department.
.'The plans were complete and we
were ready to begin building opera

that the Mizrachi Is a part Of the Gen.

"VAMPS" WHO
 MADE HISTORY. By JAMES C. YOUNG.
THE VAMPIRE WITH AN ANGELS
 FACE.
I6o616~dc6-6c6C1cHr61pC6cH-6-d-6dcdcdc6
 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate(

M7HEN Catherine of Russia still w was servant In an East Prus- sian inn, early in the Eighteenth cen tury girl named Marie appeared and asked for her help. She was a blonde Swede, named Marie, and told a pa thetic story of running away with a young man, who had deserted her when their child was born. She had no money, was weak and haggard. Woulc Catherine take her in?
 Catherine sat the girl down to the best dinner she could find, and watched her eat. You have the face of an angel" she said, and persuaded her master to let the girl stay. Then the Russians captured the town, and Marie and Catherine fell into the hands of officers
 Marie did not fare so well as Cath erine. But she exchanged an officer for prince. It may be said here that Marie's child had not died, for she murdered It. The father, who had be- come an officer in the cZar'S service, met her when she was living with the prince and warned her to spare sec ond child of which the prince was the father. But Marie fell into a lake with the child, and when rescued it was dead.
 A gew years later Marie appeared in Petrograd. Catherine had become the czarina, and Marie had powerful protectors. The two women met, and knew each other, but it is said that they never mentioned the days at the inn. Instead, Marie set herself to win the attention of Peter the Great. Fail ing in this, she waited for him when he was walking in garden, and threw herself into his arms.
 Catherine and Marie, the former friends, now crossed swords for Pe- ter's affection. Both were beauties, and writers of that time bear testl- mony to Marie's angelic" face. But unfortunately for her that same otti- cer who had warned her, appeared In Petrograd. And about this time Marie became the mother of third child, said to have been that of Peter. She killed this child and threw 1t Into an old well. A servant told the news of her deed to the officer, who in turn passed 1t on to the czar
 Peter ordered great revel held, and piled Marie with wine until her wits were not her own. Then he took her In his arms, before the whole company, and by the mastery of his will made her confess her crimes. Peter was a devil incarnate to whom the murder sf child would have meant little if 1t had not been his own. He flung Marie from him, and ordered her exc cution.
 When the headsman had severed the vampires slended neck, Peter picked up the head and kissed the dead lips.
