SAFETY FIRST CAMPAIGNS

The facts about railway accidents,
says the Railway Age, indicate that
the actual operation of the railroads
themselves has been made so much
more safe that the great problems
with respect to accidents have be-
come those of educating or compelling
people not to trespass upon their
properties and to cross them on high
ways with reasonable care. But all
efforts either to educate" or to COM
pel' people to exercise proper care
at grade crossings seem to have failed
and probably will continue to be abor-
tive. The solution of this part of
the safety problem, therefore lies in
the elimination of the grade crossing.
This should be insisted upon even to
the extent of legislative enactment if
necessary.
The railways of the United States in
the months of June, July, August and
September, 1922, carried on thruout
the country a National Careful Cross
ing Campaign" to try to reduce acct
dents at highway crossings. They
placarded the entire country, espe-
cially at highway crossings, with
warnings to automobiles to be care
full when crossing railway tracks. The
total results of this campaign are not
yet known. Such information as is
now available indicates, however, that
the number of automobile accidents
at highway crossings did not decline,
and may actually have increased while
this campaign was being carried on.
The Pennsylvania Railroad System
reports that in June, July and August,
the first three months of the cam
paign, the number of casualties at its
highway crossings increased 80 per
cent. There were IS automobile ac-
cidents at Pennsylvania System high
way crossings in the three months in
question. They caused the deaths of
So persons. almost one-half> as rnanv
as the total number of passengers
killed on all the railroads of the
United States in 1921.
There was an increase in 1921 In
still another class of accidents. The
total number of trespassers on rail-
way property killed was 2166 in 1920
and 2.4S1 in 1921. During and imme-
0iately following the war the number
was greatly reduced, apparently owing
to the fact that there was almost no
unemployment in the country. The
increase in the number of trespassers
killed in 1921 is attributed mainly to
increase in unemployment due to
business depression. The number of
men who beat their way on the rail-
ways from place to place in periods of
depression always is greater than at
other times.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: I am keep
ing company with a young man VINO
is Jealous when I go with other TEL
lows, but L know for sure that he goes
with other girls. I am not engaged TO
him and so sometimes when L am
other night I happened to go TO
dance with another fellow and he was
there with another girl He was very
angry to see me there and wouldn I
dance with me. Now 1 have a letter
from him telling me that if won't
give up the other FELLOW, ne. IS gong
to stop coming. L like him very
much. What would you advise me
to do in this case? POLLY.
Let the young man go, because ne
is most unreasonable in his demand
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am mar
ried woman with a family. 1 never
did love my husband, but. have lived
with him twenty-one years. A man
came into my life six years ago whom
1 loved more than life and he made
love to me and was SO KIND and good
until I thought I could not live with
cut him. Then something happened
so that I could not see him very often
Now he has left me in my sorrow and
has got another married woman.
He does not show any respect for
her or himself and he gets drunk and
SO does she. When he sees me he
treats me with the most respect and
tells me of the things ne has done.
One time he said he was doing it for
spite because 1 would not leave my
home unhappy for him.
He brought this woman, a stranger
to me, to my home and introduced
her by another name. 1 treat him as
nicely as can for love him, but 1
cannot give up my home aitho my
husband treats me and the children
terribly.
When I do not scold him he acts
as if he were just killed Of his wrong
doing now. He has got into bad COM
pany. They all drink. He has ma
chine and takes all classes of people
with him except me. 1 know if
asked him to quit doing as he is, he
would for my sake. can't do it.
When he brings his lacy friend to
my house 1 treat her as nice as 1 can,
but I can tell biz the tone of his
voice he is trying to prove my love for
him. My love for him is the only
wrong have ever done in my life.

my life. I do want to do right. Also

your advice. LOVE AND LOST.
There is only one answer to your
problem; don't see each other any
more in the way you have been meet
ing. If you and your husband are
together and you meet that is a diff
ferent matter But to go on making
love and exchanging confidence is
entirely wrong
Do you realize that the thing the

SO closely Identified that It may be
deemed advisable to handle them as
one proposition. The railroads con
sumo 80 per cent of. the coal that Is
produced, and they haul practically
every ton of it that is used by other
consumers. Admittedly distribution
is one of the most important phases
of the coal problem and little can be
done toward stabilizing- the industry
until it has BEEN solved.
Only the extremely sanguine will
expect any action by Congress on the
subject for many months to come.
The commission has a year in which
to do its work, and it is quite within
the bounds of probabilities that an
extension of this time will be asked,
while after its diagnosis or report
has been submitted Congress will I'M
doubtedly be slow to act if the com
mission recommends anything at all
radical or revolutionary. If the time
required to PISS the new tariff law
may be taken as a guide no step so
extreme as Government ownership
could be taken within the next decade.

receive so many letters from read
ers of these Talks asking me how TO
become a writer. 1 receive no letters

Writing is expressing yourself IN
print exactly as you Express yourself
to others with whom You come in daily
contact.
The greatest literature is based
upon true expression. OF course
everybody does not have the gift OF
any more than everybody is able to
sing like Caruso or Mccormack. For,
after all, it is more than half-gift.
Stevenson tells in one of his books
that he deliberately At out to be-
come a writer. And so at a very early
which interested him. He carried a
pad of paper and a pencil with him
everywhere he went, ana wrote and
rewrote his thoughts and his interpre-
cations of other thoughts.
So that, tho fine writing is really
gift in the same way that fine con-
versation is, both can be improved.
In either case, there must be some-
thing back of mere words. II you
have something worth saying, and can
express it simply, people will read and
listen.
The greatest writing is the simplest.
The study of great writing will help
you. For words being merely blocks
out of which the writer builds his
thoughts, high purpose is required
beneath them to make them stand
solidly and TO give them endurance
and life.
The charm of such writers as Stew
enson, Whitman, and Shakespeare.
lies in the fact that they had the
ability to see clearly and then to put
down, simply, exactly what they saw.
The great painting is the one which
stimulates your mind to see, even be-
yond what the artist saw--and that is
point the useful writer must bear
in mind. The writer who is able to
stimulate my own thoughts and make
them work in keener measure, is the
one 1 admire most and who helps me
most.
If you want to write. first have
something worthy to say. Then write,
and write--and write and writeI So

The foreign debt refunding COM
mission, it is reported. is to adopt a
policy of greater firmness in dealing
with the debtor nations. Many of the
smaller governments are said to be
subordinating their American obliga-
tons to other objects OF expenditure.
It Is understood that Rumania. altho

all other obligations. 1t is said that
Runiania has thus far ignored the
note from Washington that the Amer
lean government is ready to negotiate
repayment of the loans. Apparently
there IS no reason for expecting debt
money from any of the debtor coun-
tries at an early date except Great
