"AT THE CROSSINGS"

Writing, evidently in sarcastic
mood. of the number of fatalities at
railway crossings in recent years, an
Ohio paper wonders why the horse
drawn vehicles Of earlier years, going
not to exceed half dozen miles an
hour. could get across with far few:
er fatalities than the drivers of auto
biles. The writer only expresses won-
der and attempts no answer to the
question raised, but not asked. The
inference is that anybody can find
the answer.
But there will be some, doubtless
To speculate on the reason why a
hnggy or wagon moving at less than
ten miles an hour could get out of the
way of railway train travelling at
forty miles an hour, when automo-
biles, with a speed of fifty or sixty
miles an hour are so often hit. The
type Of mind to speculate in such way
is Of the type of mind, which. when
controlling an automobile at rail-
road crossing with a rapidly ap-
preaching train in view. calculates a
loss of the two or three minutes which
the drivers of horse vehicles used to
lOSc. CALdAslcS AZ railway CIOSSIIks
have increased greatly in number
since these demonstrations began. OF
course, there were drivers Of horse
vehicles to take the risk ofbeating
the locomotives to it. but their number
was almost insignificant compared
with the number of auto drivers am
bilious to outspeed steam The psy-
chology Of the case seems to be that
the men of the six-mile- e-an-hour gait
had more intelligent understanding
of the limitations of things.
AS it was useless to reason with the
speed fiends in horse vehicles, it is
perhaps useless to reason with the
more numerous speed fiends in auto
mobiles. 1t is easy to imagine that
the speed fiend in the day of the
horse is much more the speed fiend
now when in control Of a high-power
machine. and to see that the thousands
who are now in control of vehicles
of any sort for the first time, raise
problem it is not easy to solve, if,
indeed it is possible Of solution. 1t
would be an act of injustice to force,
for such reason, railway companies
to build bridges or tunnels at every

A satisfactory method for cleaning

agate ware dish should be partly
filled with a cleaning solution Of one
teaspoonful of common table salt to
each quart Of water and placed d.
Of aluminium or clean zinc should
then be dropped into the dish and
the furnished silver placed In contact
with this metal. X Is best that the
silver be entirely covered with the
cleaning solution and that the solu-
ton remain at the boiling tempera-
ture. As soon as the tarnish has been
removed the silver should be removed,
rinsed in clean water, and wiped with
a soft cloth.
Aluminium corrodes quickly In the
cleaning solution. so that aluminium
dishes OF any value for culinary pur-
poses should never be used. Alum

thrown away, or any inexpensive piece

C0DDLED EGGS ARE FAVORED
Plan Suggested for Cooking In Such a
Way That Whites VIII Not
Be Overlooked.

Many means have been suggested for
cooking eggs In such a way that the
yolks Will be cooked and the whites
will not be overlooked. One Of the
most satisfactory Is by coddling, which
is done as follows: Allow a cupful of
water to each egg, bring the water to
the boiling point, remove II from the
fire, put In the eggs, cover the dish
closely. and leave the eggs In the water
for about seven minutes. There IL
some uncertainty about this method.
for eggs differ In weight and also In
temperature at the time the cooking
begins. On the whole, however. this
result can be obtained by pouring hot
water over eggs, II the same dish with
the same amount Of water is always
used. but each cook must make her
own rules.
