Grade Crossing to
Be Eliminated

Washington, d. c.. Jan. Ill ne ne
Grade crossing must go and they Will
he eliminated wherever possible on
the roads of the Federal Ala hish-
way System, which will be built as
result of the passage of the federai
Highway Act When the roads "hich
form the primary or interstate syS-
tenn are constructed, no grade eros

for will be made to make the roads or
the secondary system equally safe.
but in this case it is recognized that
elimination may not be practicable III
all cases at this time. :,
In making this announcement the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
under whose supervision the fund Is
allotted and construction is under
taken is putting into effect a policy
which it has long advocated in prln--
ciple, and whose adoption has urged
with increasing effectiveness upon
State highway officials for some time
past. The policy is meeting with
hearty cooperation on the part OF the
States, and the American Associa-
ton of State Highway Officials by
resolution has pledged its best efforts
to cooperate grade crossings on new
construction.
In addition, the policy finds favor
among the railroads, some of the
leading carriers already having lent
cheerful aid in avoiding the construc
&c uroIp
Instead of grade crossings there
will be constructed. wherever possible,
in the future either bridge or an
underpass where roadway and rail
way intersect. Important roads
which now cross and recross railroad
lines at grades hereafter will he To-
Gated entirely on one side of the
railroad, even though to do so
may increase the cost Of construction.
State officials, realizing the need of
eliminating grade crossings, have
stated their desire to cooperate with
the department in carrying out this
plan.
Where crossings are unavoidable.
or where local interests justify con-
struction Of highways to cross rail
road lines, the road will be so located
as to pass over the track or under
it. In most instances Of this sort
the railroads bear one half of the
cost of building the bridge or under
pass.
The prime object Of the depart
ment's policy to eliminate grade
crossings on Federal aid roads is the
saving of human lives. This policy
probably will involve increased ex-
pense of construction in the case of
some roads, but it is believed this is
justified by the saving of life. Dur.
ing the three years ending with 1920
according to best records available
to the department, 1896 lives were

INSECTS

Garbage has little bearing on health
except in so far as it affords breed
ing place for flies but since its
breeds more flies than any other one
thing except the manure pile and
since flies are very dangerous germ
carriers, the prompt and careful dis
posal of garbage is an important
health measure.
Flies, reaches and other scavenglng
insects carry disease germs on their
feet and thus infect any food on
which they happen to walk Typhoid,
cholera, dysentary and other diseases
have been carried by flies which are
always a menace that should not be
tolerated. Aside from the danger of
disease, moreover the thought OF
their coming to food directly from
the manure piles and privy vaults is
disgusting. Houses should be thor
oughly screened against flies in the
season, and further precautions
should be taken to destroy the nul-
sance at its source.
Since the chief breeding places Of
flies are garbage cans and manure
piles, especial attention should be
paid to them. If the garbage can Is
water tight, closely covered, frequent
" emptied and thoroughly cleaned
flies will not develop in it. since
about ten days must elapse from the
time when the egg is laid until the
insect is ready to fly. Fly traps to
fit on the garbage can are useful!
Manure should be screened and re-
moved FREQUENTLY, or it can be treat.
ed chemically. Where privies are used
every effort should be made by screen
ing and in other ways, to keep flies
awav from them also.

other than flies are malaria and vel,
low fever, each of which is carried
by special species of mosquito; ty-
plus fever, carried by lice; and nu.
bonic plague which is carried by rat
fleas. Various diseases less common
in this country are carried by other
insects. All possible precautions
should be taken against mosquitoes
as even when they are not carrying
disease germs their bites may be
harmful. These bites sting and are
often rubbed, especially by children
until the skin is broken, and various
infections may enter through the
wounds.
Too much care can not be taken
to prevent insects of every kind, rats
mice and vermin from getting INTO

T. was discovered that these were not 50 numerous as at first thought. many Of the clubs already having played off or made arrangements for the playoff of those incurred during the several rainy Saturdays of thir gea- son.
 Besides the postponed game pro- test between Alabama Power and Standard Oil was discussed and re- ferred to the president, who will rem der a final decision in the matter sometime within the week.
 The schedule in the Class B sec- ton for next Saturday was also an- noupced, 1t being as follows: Division A.ssEast Birmingham at Boys club, Ayondaie Mills at West woodlawn. L. and N. shops at Boys club; Di- vision B, Pratt City at Jordan Park. North Pratt at Thomas.
 Probably the most important oc- currence at the assembly was the announcement of Mir. E. ". Mitchell of the Alabama Power company that their broadcasting station would be glad to handle the scores of City league games every Saturday If the managers of the teams would call the station immediately after their contests and see that the score of the game was taken. This means great deal for the league, as the great Alabama Power szation is pos sibly the largest in the south and has scope even moro than state wide.

 Omaha

Omaha, Neb., July 12.-Rudolph Knepper of Sioux City. Iowa., and George von Elm of Salt Lake City, considered the leading cantenders for the 1922 Mississippi golf championship, came through the first two rounds of elimination matches today.
 Von Elm was not pushed In either round, winning from Clarence Pe- ters, Omaha, in tn emorning 5-4 and from Ralph Peters. Omaha. in the afternoon 3-2. The present cham pion sliced two strokes from par fer the first nine holes in hls after rson round, playing .flawless golf. He had birdle5 on the fifth and ninth.
 Knepper caught a tartar in the morning round in the person of Jimmy Ward of Kansas It took the Iowan 19 holes to shake the last year medalist, after having him three down at the turn. Knepper was missing his butts and Ward was missing from the tee, but making remarkable recoveries from at least one bunker on each hole.
 On the sixteenth Ward sank a 2J- foot putt fer half in three. after
 
 shot. On the seventeenth he missed his drive, pitched his iron into a bunker and played the greatest shots of the tournament with his niblick placed him less than two inches from the cup. The hole was halved in fours.
 At the eighteenth Ward dropped a S5-foot putt for half in three. He lost the nineteenth when Knepper holed a perfect stymie with a m, 5hie. This was the second perfect stymie that Knepper played in the round, and the second time he had played in any form at all or the greens.

 Record-BreaIsing Round
 von Elm began his record break ing round with par five on the first. Every club in his bag was working pU rfectly. He continued playing par scores to the fifth where he holed an approach from foot off the green for birdie two. Then followed three more par holes. On the ninth the champion executed a 20-foot putt for another birdie two.
 The champion had Ralph Peters six down on the turn and slowed up. He was urged to make try at course record but refused, saving himself for the s s-ueling tests in the following rounds.

|Play in National Golf
 Meet Halted By Rain

The first and second greens were small lakes and all along every fair way were numerous ponds 20 or 30 yards square. The greens were viz tually unputtable, and the sand pits were lagoons in which group of youngsters in bathing suits went swimming until chased away.
 Clearing Up
 The rain ceased falling about noon and occasionally in the afternoon the sun peeked through the banks of rolling clouds. Most of the day was cloudy, however, and old Sol had little chance to get in effective drying work. A good breeze acted as hls undsrstudy and the fairways were drying out very well.A corps of workmen baIled the water out of the pits and seooped up the pools on the putting greens with sponges. Indications were that without further rain the links would be in good shape tomorrow and in perfect condition for the rounds on Friday and Sat- urday.
 No practicing was permitted any where on the course today but sew eral nearby clubs threw open their Inks to the visiting players and many spent the day keeping in shape.
 Jimmy" Johnson, St. Paul anna teur, Freddie McCleod of Washing ton, D. C., former champion; Willie Hunter, former British amateur champion; Emmett French of Youngstown; A. A. Armour. Scotch amateur champion, and many others scheduled to play in tomorrow's qualifying rounds put in the day at the ob-O-Link course. where Bob Macdonald Is the professional.
 The weather man was encouraging in his forecast tonight. Generally fair tonight with light winds and plenty of sunshine was his official forecast, and at least 100 golfers were hoping he had hit 1t right.
 Have Had Enough
 Praying for rain week ago when tho course was as hard as concrete and accurate play absolutely was inn possible except through luck, the shooters now are more than satis- fled with the amount of moisture. Most of them agreed there had been sufficient rain before this morning s downpour. Jesse Guilford. the na- tional amateur champion was about the only exception.
 Guilford apparently Is r.gular ducked for he insisted that the course need even more moisture. He won his title at St. Louis last year in a downpour which might account for his inclnati tons towards wet fair ways. After today's rain, he was we'll satisfied. however Guilford played his rounds yesterday, easily qualifying with 14s.
