WHY PICK ON IT'S

1t appears to be the ambition of
certain European statesmen to think
to link up the German reparations
with the debt their countries owe the
United States. le. declare their
willingness to reduce the reparations
providing some of the American obli-
cations can be written off. Why pick
on America? There would be more
reason in saying the reparations could
be cut if excessive armaments ex-
penditures on the part Of the allies
were reduced. But the only real in
fluence affecting reparations is the
German ability to pay. She is going
to be made to turn over to the allies
every mark that can be raised and
still keep her industries moving
Whether or not the obligations to
America are settled has no bearing
on the German ability to pay. If Ger
many cannot pay, the reparations
must he cut down; and if she can
pay, she will be made to- The debt
to the United States does not en.er
into either contingency.

TROUBLES OF OUR OWN MAX

ING
Simple precautions would avert
most of the railroad crossing horrors.
Here are a few rules, which, if fol-
lowed, would save many lives:
Never approach railroad tracks that
must be crossed at grade, without this
thought: "Here is the place where
must play safc!" Have your car un-
der control, then you will be prepared
for any emergency. You know the
Importance of having good brakes on
your car. Look them over, from
time to time.
there will not be train near enough
to check your progress over the tracks.
Make no effort to go across, until, by
careful use of both eyes and ears,
you have sized up the situation.
All must agree that a little time
spent in trying to protect life and
limbs is good investment. We use
up some time hunting bargains in
stores. Better plan to hold onto the
life you possess. No bargain coun-
ter has another to offer you. When
your end comes, you will be long
time dead.
Maybe, when you get near the rail
road tracks, you see train coming,
the thought pops into your mind, 81
can beat it across. The thought is,
a mere whim. Your judgment is not
speaking. In such a case, wait for
your sober second thought.
Remember that fast train can run
the quarter mile from the whistlng
post to the crossing in fifteen seconds.
Do you know just exactly how far
you can make your car go in one
fourth of minute? Most of US fail
te do our best in an emergency.
Do you admire a man who tries to
beat train over crossing, when he
has his family or friends in the car
with him, depending upon him for pro-
lection? If such man were to
run his business so carelessly as that
we greatly fear that the balance would
show up on the wrong side Of his
ledger. Most of US are very weary
of reading newspaper accounts of
death and destruction. Let's be
rooters for safety at the crossing!
