THE No-ACCIDENT CAMPAIGN

For the first fifteen days of June
there was a decrease of SO per
cent in the number of automobiles
involved in accidents at highway
crossings on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad as compared with the same
fifteen days last year.
Since the CAREFUL CROSSING
CAMPAIGN began June 1st last, on
all the railroads of the country, un-
der the auspices of the Safety Sec
ton, American Railway Association,
the railroads have kept close check
on accidents and are reporting them
to the Association. From the re-
cord made by the Baltimore and
Ohio in those first Is days of the
campaign to Gross Crossings eau
tiously" it seems that automobiles
are giving cooperation and are u.s.
ing greater precautions in going
over the tracks.
There have been several distress
ing crossing accidents in the past
ten days, one of the worst being "a
case in Georgia, where a car with six
tourists was struck and all of them
killed.
Automobile drivers can avoid ac-
cidents at crossings where highway
and railroad tracks meet if they use
bit of care. This was proved re-
Gently in the city of Baltimore
where a No-Accident Campaign was
in progress. The city had beer
thoroughly posterized, the news
papers had urged caution and the
churches and schools did their part
On every hand the citizens were
urged to take care of themselves
when on the streets and drivers OF
vehicles Joined in by driving eau
tiously.
On Friday of No-Accident Week
the railroads took a check of every
automobile which passed over theil
tracks at established crossings anc
made note of the drivers of machines
who took no precautions whatever
to assure themselves that the way
was absolutely safe. There were
81 900 machines which passed over
the tracks within the city that day
There were only 275 drivers who
did not slow down, look and lister
| lux tLc approach VI LTdlDS.
Out of the vast number of driver!
there were only a comparativel!
small proportion who risked theil
lives, yet had each of these careles!
ones been struck by train, which
was entirely possible, the total would
have been enormous. 1t is safe tt
say that had the check been made
at some time when the No-Acciden
Campaign in the city was not il
progress, there would have been ;
larger number of careless driver
found.
1t would seem then, that if driv
ers would ever keep in mind tn
danger they run in crossing railroa'
tracks without due precautionar
measures, there would be a tremen
dous reduction in the number o
fatal and non-fatal accidents. Tn
slogan Gross Crossings Cautiously
. will bear fruit in proportion to tn
number of automobile drivers VIII
observe it.

William de Miles superb Paramount
production of after the Show"
The principals in the picture are
Jack Holt, Lila Lee and Charles Ogle
and a chorus of more than fifty young
women appear in the scenes.
Several weeks were spent by Mr..
de Mile in the direction of the chorus
and stage hands who appear in the
theatre set. The story deals with a
young actress who is guarded by a
stern door keeper and whose pro-
tegee she is. When love enters her
life, many dramatic scenes ensue,
combining to make one of the NOSE
thrilling pictures displayed here this
season.
The story was written by Rita Wei
man especially for Mr.. de Mile. Lila
Lee plays the leading female role,
while Charles Ogle, the veteran cha
racter actor, asserts that his role is
the biggest human interest part he
has played in his career. Jack Holt
plays the part of the angel-not the
kind that wears wings-but the other
sort that backs stage productions.
The support is adequate,

The following report gives very
well the account of the hike on ebru-
airy 22nd;
The Pakalana troop and the Cup of
Gold troop with Capt. Collins and
Capt. Vincent hiked to the Paia beach
on Wednesday, February 22nd.
Scouts from both troops got the
lunches ready and each girl carried
her own.
We started at a Quarter to nine and
all kept together. Each wore her
troop color. Just as we were approach
ing the railroad track above the Paia
Store, we saw Miss Seibert coming on
the other side of the track. We were
glad to meet her. We invited her to
join us, but she could not, as she was
on her way to Kula. She took a
picture of each troop. After the pic
ture were taken, we proceeded on our
journey.
At last we reached the end of our
journey. All those who wanted to
swim went into the water just as Don
as they we're ready. After a nice
swim and a vigorous shower bath we
sat down and ate our lunch.
After our lunch some of the girls
tried building fire, according to Scout
rules and some did fine. Some visit
ed the Japanese cemetery while 9th
ers went in search of foTr leaf
clovers.
At quarter past three a plantation
truck came to the beach for us and
we returned to the Seminary having
had a fine time.
On the following Saturday the Cup
of Gold challenged us to a game of
basketball. Capt. Collins umpired the
game. 1t was a good game and re

"Makawao, Maui.
con Wednesday, February %, the
Roselani Troop of Kahului gave a
picnic and a swimming party to the
Sweet Pea Troop of Makawao. Such
a good time for these scouts was the
talk of the day. We started at II a

in Mrs. II. p. Baldwin's car and a
few went in the old TIME egg beater
with Miss Seibert. We arrived at
the Community House and there we
were greeted with happy looking
faces. While waiting for the egg
beaten we danced a little and played
dodge ball and then the rest arrived

lunch they had ready for us-some
swell sandwiches and the best of t.
was the most delicious punch and
plenty of it too. The table was 2

of fun playing with our feet undo

dressed and hiked back to the Com

Dear Miss Seibert:
81 want to tell you about our picnic
on Washington's birthday. The morn
ing did not look very good sc it was
that Is girls started in the truck half
in fear and half in froliC. But if
there was any fear of rain ii was soon
forgotten as the girls joined in sing
ing Hail, Hail, the gangs all here,
never mind the weather, we're here
together. The air was fairly ringing
with the songs we sang. There was
not a moments pause. That with our
singing and our flag waving high in
the truck we made all folks along the
way run out and take notice. We
sang How Do You Do, Sweet Pea
Girls as we passed the Makawao
school, but no sister scouts were in
sight.
AT last we reached our destina-
ton, Piholo. | think it is the pTettiest
spot in Makawao. We left our truck
and ran down the gulch. 1t was such
fun to climb along the cliffs to avoid
falling into the stream. Only one
girl got a good ducking in the water.
When we got tired following the
stream we CllllDeu up IlllcIO MI. II
was such a hard climb that each girl
had to struggle for herself. We were
glad to get halfway up where We
took u pictures and made our des-
cent. Laura DePonte succeeded in
getting near the top. You see, she
is so skinny and has long legs. We
had lunch in a cool spot by the
stream. Most of the girls had been
eating crack seed on the way so were
not very hungry. After kaukau we
climbed up to where our car was,
picking MALE and lehua as we went.
All were present and accounted for
so the truck whizzed away with
fifteen girls and captain decked with
leis. We were all tired but kept up
the singing on the way home and as
if we had not strained our lungs
enough we went to sing to Miss Mac
f3rlane who has been sick. Wasn't
that a beautiful way to end the day?
"Oh, for another picnic!
