is THERE A MILE
POST IN YOUR TOWN?

The Zero Milestone, located just
behind the White House at Wash
ington, on Meridian of Longitude
Zero, dedicated to the Nation and
accepted by President Harding, is
the starting point for road measure
ment east, west, north, south of the
Capital of the Nation.
1t is forty miles to Baltimore. 1t
is also forty-five miles to Baltimore,
depending on the part of Baltimore
to which one 1t may be
two hundred and fi~fty-three or two
hundred and sixty-seven miles to
New York, according as one meas
ures to the Battery or somewhere up
above Harlem!
Every town in America ought to
have a milestone, to which road dis
tances from other towns could be
measured, and from which distances
would be computed. If an error of
one mile was made in estimating dis
lance between town and town, across
the continent, the motor traveller
might easily be several hundred miles
out of his calculations!
A town milestone costs little. 1t
can easily be financed by the local
civic or commercial club. It's place
ment and use will foster civic pride,
encourage tourist travel, and be an
everlasting convenience to all who
use it. A little research will COM
pute its exact distance from the
Zero Milestone at Washington, still
further adding to its interest.
From a commercial standpoint an
official milestone would be of serv-
ice in giving readers of advertise
mnts of real estate, for example,
definite information. A farm may
be advertised as being six miles dis
tant from Jonesville. With the
adoption of an official milestone by
Jonesville, the readers would know
that the distance is six miles from a
fixed point in Jonesville, which
would be in the heart of the city.

that the initial step probably would
be the appointment of q woman from
each state to act in an associate or
advisory capacity to the committee.
This step is expected to be taken soon.
and it was said to be probable that
even fuller participation would be
granted by the national committee at
its meeting next year, coincident with
the national convention.
The decision with respect to women
was said by Chairman Adams to have
been the principal topic of discussion
at the conference. which lasted more
than an hour. although about forty
other matters were talked over"
Among these were understood to have
been the administration world court

been reported as somewhat cool, and

EVERYBoDY's BUSINESS

Most of us are inclined to think that
only the city officials have the job of
keeping taxes down. Most of us are
wrong. Keeping the taxes down is
evefybody's business, and everybody
can help. Each bit of added work we
make for city officials and employees
needlessly, adds to the tax burden.
When we tear up a lot of paper and
drop it carelessly on the street we are
adding to the burden. 1t takes some
city employe some time to get those
bits of paper together. The time he
takes to do this might have been spent
doing something else for which no in
dividual is to blame. This is looking
at the matter entirely from the practi-
cal side without thought of the ap-
pearance of the city.
An instance of this situation is seen
in the reference to Walnut Hill park
made by Park Commissioner Delaney.
He refers to those who eat their
luncheon in the park and scatter the
debris about. Someone has to pick
that up, and of course it is city
employee who docs it. There is talk of
employing another policeman there. A
brass strainer on a drinking fountain
has been destroyed. All these things,
small in themselves mount up into
money. And it's everybody's business
to sec that the sum is kept down.
There would be no need of additional
policemen, which cost money, if all
were careful TO give no work for them.
There would be no need to buy a new
apparatus if everyone helped see to it
that those now in place were not de- !
stroycd.
Probably as pleasant sight as one
cares to see is that Of family having
a little outing, enjoying the beauties
of the park and other places where

FIXING THE BLAME

Call it a threat if you want to,

United States Coal commission that if
the operators and miners fail to agree
the commission will fix the blame for
such failure is the sort of statement
The people want-and the people will
want it carried out. If an agreement
It not made the people want the blame

Wise" comments are written call
ing the miners all sorts of names be-
cause they will not agree to dig coal.
The authors of such comments for the
most part are in no position TO put
the blame on the miners. Equally

the operators. Most of the authors of
such statements have no right to sit
In judgment

RAIL CROSSING GATES

A man has reported to the police
that the railroad crossing gates on
Main street were lowered, striking his
automobile and damaging it. The
merits of this particular case are not
under discussion here. They are be-
side the point.
But the incident calls attention to
condition that exists here which
should be rectifed. At certain cross
ings there is no possible way for the
driver of a car to know whether or
not he may cross without running the
risk either of having the gates lowered
upon his car or of having the gates
lowered after he has passed one and
before he reaches the other. He may
be injured by the lowering gates, or
he may be caught on the tracks be-
tween lowered gates. Moreover though
he passes one gate safely and stops his
car because the farther gate is sud-
denly lowered, tracks make II confuS-
ing to him. He does not know where to
allow his car to stand Trains may be
coming from both directions. Neither
track may be safe. The driver is per-
picked and the slightest misjudgment
may be fatal.
At crossing outside the city where
there are no gates a bell rings warn
ing of the approach of a train. This
bell may be heard on a quiet country
road. No so in a crowded, noisy
street of a city. One who is not an
expert on such matters has no right
to say arbitrarily what plan should be
to prevent the recurrence of
this danger. But a plan should be
at once.
A campaign is being carried on
against reckless driving. A campaign
should be inaugurated to protect the
careful driver from such dangers as
these, a.-

AMERICAN PRAISES
LONDON QUIETNESS
Business Man Comments on
Efficiency Of Britishers

London, Aug. 20.--London newspa-
pers have contained many articles OF
late about things that are better done
York, than they are here. English
men have been told in effect by the
writer's of these articles that they
should not consider themselves prop
erly educated until they have been to
America and found out how much
they don't know.
And now by way of contrast, it
would seem, an American business
man, w. S. Ashby, tells in the Daily
Chronicle of various things he has
seen here which are much better
does he commend the handling of the
street traffic in London as compared
with New York's way of doing it.
THE first thing to impress one on
arriving from New York" he said, lis
the quiet and absence of hurry. At
first thought one might surmise that
English are slow, and we have had
enough reports to that effect to war;
rant our thinking so.
But first Impressions, while vivid,
are wrong.
There is an absence of hustle and
noise, but no appreciable sacrifice of
speed,
"At the crossings there is no shrill-
ing of officers whistles, no bank
ing of pedestrians on the curb, no
stopping of vehicular traffic for
blocks
1.-THE traffic officer is in the midst
of it all and is busy every moment.
He stands there, calm, deliberate, al
most in a detached sort of way, but
there is precious little that misses his
eye.
Instead of holding up traffic at
long intervals, the officer seems to
keep it moving along in all directions
at once, and at many of Londons cor
ners the all directions is well used,

OF course, to let the opposing forces
work the thing out themselves. in
such case neither side would be in a
position to blame the commission for
unfairness Moreover the people who

both find reason for criticising the

against either or to give a ruling now

either group. -.

peace will be the result of fear of
public opinion. The coal commission
