AT CROSS ROADS

TROSS roads are dangerous places.
In the Great war allied and Ger

where roads crossed. When motor
truck or an ambulance or an ambu-
lance wagon neared such a point, the
driver put on full speed and rushed
past in the direction he had decided ia
follow.
There was no hesitatlng and waver'

cause 1t was just about as dangerous
to stand at cross roads In the combat
zone as It Is to stand on railroad
track. II you stood long enough at
the cross roads shell would hit you.

Wrigley's connection with the
transaction that turned over the Sc

precipitated the fight between William
