dies, whose suffering is little reckoned He is
the engineer driving the powerful locomotive
weighing itself over 200 tons and pulling
heavy train at speed that makes stopping i'm
possible. The engineer trained by years of SER
vice to judge relative speeds. sees an automobile
approaching a grade crossing. He senses long
before the automobile driver does that unless
one or the other slackens speed materially or
changes direction sharply a collision is inevita-
BILE. The engineer cannot stop and the rails do
not admit of his steering his train out of the
way. All he can do is jerk the whistle cord and
trust to the blasts to carry to the automobile
driver warning of the trains approach. In few
seconds that elapse, the engineer has time to
picture the whole terrible horror, which he
knows cannot be averted by any action of his,
and then come the piteous screams of the vic
tins who finally realize their peril too late to
save themselves. The sickening impact and
other grade crossing horror is registered.
Is it any wonder that railroad engineers
curse the fools who run their machines to the
very edge of the right of way and then stopping
suddenly grin namely at the man who has been
frantically sounding warning blasts, the while
the picture of human bodies torn and nangled
by his engine, flashed across his mental retina?

Dear Mrs. Thompson: II one
lives in neighborhood where every
one knows every one else and treats
every one with respect, but there
is one party that gossips and thinks
that person causes trouble fo- the
whole neighborhood by talk and
blames it on to the innocent one
until no one will speak to her, do
you think she should care? Or
should she think they have no
knowledge of good manners? They
are all so lacking in what it takes
to make a lady.
DON'T WORRY.
It would be impossible not to
care under such circumstances.
would advise the innocent person
to forgive her neighbors for their
uncharitable attitude toward her
and to look for their lovable quail
tiles instead of their lack of man
ners. When it is possible to do a
kind turn to those same neighbors
she should not hesitate to do it.
Perhaps some one is sick and would
enjoy some garden flowers and a
glass of Jelly. If she watches for
Opportunities she will find ways
Of paying back their lack of cour-
tesy with kindness. She should re-
fuse to discuss the gossip any more
than to say it did not come from
her. To blame the other woman
and spend lot of time haggling
over something unpleasant and
worthless would not bring back the
respect of the neighborhood. Self
respect, charity toward others and
kindness will correct matters.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My hus-
band has been very much interested
in a young foreigner who has come
to this country and Is lonesome be-
cause he is not acquainted. We
have done all we can to make things
pleasant for him and until now
have felt that he appreciated our
effort.
One Of my girl friends invited
the three Of US to her house to
play cards. She did this on my
request because ! thought he would
enjoy meeting her family and hav-
ing the good time one always has
in he's home. He said he would be
very glad to go. When the night
came, which was last night, we
waited until eight-thirty for him
to come and he did not show up.
We phoned the place where he
boards to find that he and another
person boarding there had gone to
the picture show. Although he
feels he cannot use the telephone
yet, he could have had some one
else let US know he did not intend
to come I was so Inundated l
didn't know what to do or to say
to my friend. She was disappoint-
ed but she forgave me.
This young man often comes to
our house and l know that in few
days he will come again. My hus-
band says he is through with him.

we should explain to him that he
has insulted us by ignoring OIL in
vitation after he had already ac-
copied It? MARGARET.
Yes, l think you should explain.
Perhaps the young man does not
realize the extent Of his ofense.
He should be made to understand
that in America that when one
gives his word to his friend hs
keeps it.

THE GRADE CROSSING.

crushing to death nine men and women and in
juring others. The elimination of the grade
crossing is an immediate impqssibility,- although
of course in time there will be'no such thing as
country roads crossing railroad rights of way at
grade. says the Fort Wayne News.
The stop, look and listen" law proposed
by some would accomplish some good results
but too many school bus horrors have occurred
the tracks, to allow one to believe that this law
would prevent crossing accidents Automatic
danger signals have hoped but only helped Pos
sibfy some inventive genius will evolve an auto
matte gate which will lower and raise with the
approach and passage of trains, just as autona-
tic signal bells are now rung, but the gates would
have to be built of reinforced concrete to force
some drivers to observe their warnings.
This mania of some drivers to race train
to crossing or to take for granted that no train
is approaching is incomprehensible to the nor
nal person The auto driver who races the
train to the crossing who seeing a railroad
crossing ahead takes it for granted there is no
train approaching, cannot realize that he can
make only one mistake He gets no second
guess if he's wrong. Suppose he does beat the
train to the crossing he's gained nothing more
than the averting of delay of few minutes.
He stakes his life and the lives of all the people
in his machine to win couple of minutes.

COMPLETING REHABILITATION.

Announcement from time to time of prog.
ress made in rehabilitating the devastated reg
ions of France evoked admiration in this cuon-
try The French government now announces
that 90 per cent of the farms in the war-torn
regions of France have been restored to produc-
tivity, indicating that American assistance in
rehabilitation has been of substantial practical
value. A somewhat small but tirelessly ener-
getic group of Americans has been engaged in
the work of bringing back the tillable acreage
made useless by the ravages of war.
Still more significant is supplementary
statement that the output from this 90 per cent
of acres will exceed the pre-war production of
the former 100 per cent. The difference is
credited to improved methods, which includes
manner of working and the utilization of i'm
proved agricultural tools of American manu-
facture. When the French peasants are as ia
.miliar with their new implements as they will
become it is fair to assume that with their fl
deity to the SOIL the productivity of the land
will far exceed the highest limits ever reached
before the war.
