An increase in practically every
commodity shipped in carload lots out
of the city of Topeka over the Rock
Island was reported by the local agent
for the month of November as COM
pared with the same month for last
year.
Mill products and flour showed the
greatest increases, each one of them
exceeding by more than 100 per cent
the shipments of these products dur

Other products which showed in

from Topeka included wheat, corn land
other grain, coal, lumber. furniture,

exactly the same in the two months.
The total carlot business done by

the month amounted to 5S1 carloads.

crease of 44.7 per cent.
The total number OF carload ship
ments from January to December 1

Far across the campus we could see

we're many students singing Christ
mas carols.
"Silent night. Holy night,

Washburn is not thinking only of a

pretty gifts and candy. The Student
Friendship fund was generously sub
scribed to, and perhaps some ragged
student in far away Russia may be
warmed with a bit of Christmas cheer
because some Washburnite sacrificed
for him.

Motorists at Crossings Furnish

emfnently successful in warning mo
torists at the crossings where IT mas
been tried out, and probably VIII
eventually be installed at all ROCK
Island crossings.
Claim agents and safety superin-
tendents alike agree that the problem
of the motorist at the railway crossing
is the most serious. which Is racing

the money loss in damage claims and
their defense, and in the toll OF hu-
man lives which is annually collected
The Rock I.land sign is electrically
lighted, with the ,worC stop" in huge
red letters appearing only when there
is a train near the cossing.
Deaths Saturday Emphasize Problem.
The death of two men at the Rock
Island cossing north of Topeka, Sat
urday of last week, lends emphasis to
the urging of H c. Cartridge, claim
agent for the Rock Island, H e.
Pribble general claim agent for the
Santa Fe. and Isaiah Hale, safety
superinteRdent for the Santa Fe, that
automobile accidents at crossings, due
chiefly to the negligence of the mo-
torists themselves, is the biggest sin
gle proble for them to solve at the
present time.
Thru the past few months. with the
freight loading % the railroads break
ing record after record, and with
thousands of new and inexperienced
men working in the railway shops, re-
placing the shopmen who went on
strike July 1, the number of accidents
to employees. and the loss and dam
age to freight for transmission, has
not been abnormal.
Cartridge believes that the number
of accidents to employees and the dam
age to freight has not been in proper
tion even to the increase in business
which has been done.
But in spite of a years campaign
for more care by motorists at cross
ings. the number of accidents at these
points has increased, and the Ameri-
can Railway association will take up
another campaign during the summer,
TO endeavor to cut down the death
rate from this cause.
