I've watched men from my office
room 80 wandering afar.
Building their friendships year BY
year where all Hfe's pleasures
are,
Sharing a tent beneath the sky or
sailing az a spar.
I've seen the fathers leaving work
and grim ambitions call
To romp the summer hours away
with all their children small.
or spend long days to train a rose
along a garden wall.
But I was seeking yellow gold and
had no time for mirth.
had no time for friendly words or
laughter round the hearth.
reckoned every hour that came bv
what its gain was worth.
Today I have the wealth 1 sought.
I own stretch Of land.
But 1 am hungry day and night to
clasp one kindly hand.
I'm begging for a friend or two
who'll hear and understand.
I'm starving now for comradeship.
but happy men 60 by
And no one sees my loneliness and
no one hears me sigh.
They call me rich and never guess
how poor a man am T."

The tail and tossing trees:
The bouyant badgers blitheIy bound
As blows the balmy breeze.
The horrid hippOpo-ami
Resound their ringing roars.
While lolled at length the lions lie
Beside the shelving shores.
The gaunt gorilla grimly gapes
On quails with quivering qualms.
Where active and athletic apes
Are padding through the palms.
With grievous grunts and gutteral
grOans.
The grabbed crocodile
Fills all the air with morbid noars
For many and many a mile.

WILL ELIMINATE GRADE CROSSINGS
 ON STATE ROADS
Federal Government Calls At- tention to Danger of Pres ent System-Many Fa-
 talitieS Have Occurred
Fly FRED IT. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Herald, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. March 11.-(Spe- cial. )-Positje orders have been given to the state highway depart ment by the federal bureau of pub lie roads for the, elimination of rail- road grade crossings wherever possi- ble on the system of federal and state-aid . highways now being planned in Alabama, and the high way department today announced that the orders would be complied with to the letter.
 In many cases 1t will be necessary to construct roads under the rail roads or over the railroads and in many others the routes of the fed eral aid roads will be so changed as to emilimnate the crossings entirely
 Tho value of a life cannot be computed in dollars and cents and it is not the purpose of the highway department to save money by such work, but to save human lives" said the statement of the department is- sued today.
 highway department succeeded in eliminating 12 grade crossings on the 17-mile stretch last year and on the Birmingham Montgomery high way as now planned every grade crossing between Birmingham and Midway will be eliminated. Save Human Lives The United States bureau of pub lie roads has notified all state high way departments that grade cross ings must be eliminated wherever possible on the federal highway sys- tenn" said the announcement of the highway department. The prime object of the departments policy in eliminating grade crossings on fed eraI aid roads is the saving of hu- man lives. This policy probably will involve increased expense of con struction in the case of some roads, but 1t Is believed this is justified by the saving of human lives.
 The public generally will approve of this stand taken by the bureau. The state highway department of Iowa has kept newspaper clipping record of automobile accidents for six years. This record shows STS people were killed in railroad grade crossing accidents.
 During the year 1921. 7o3 automc- Teiles were struck by trains and IF trains were, struck by automobiles with a total of POP people injured In December of the same year IS automobiles were struck by trains. Fatalities Appalling If this many grade crossing ac- cidents occurred in one state last year the question naturally asked Is. how many occurred in the entire United States. The writer has been unable to find any reliable statis- tics on the subject If true figures could be obtained giving the num- Ter of fatalities it would be appall- ing.''
