has been agltatlon Tor iegislatlon III
a number of states to require all users
of the highways to stop before cross
ing a railroad track. FEW states
have enacted such laws. The general
application of such a law covering all
the railroad crossings in any state
leads to absurdities and unnecessary
inconvenience.
For example, one of the principal
state highways leading west out of
Raleigh, N. c., where such a law is
in force, crosses a branch line OF a
railroad running into the state fair
grounds This switch track is used
for only a few days each year at the
time of the fair, but under the law
all the traffic over one of the prin-
cipal highways in the state must stop
at this crossing Se5 days a year." 4
The report says that laws like this
should be REGARDED only as temporary
expedients because hundreds of
branch line railroads carry only a
small percentage of the passenger
traffic now carried by the main line
highway which they cross. 1t is point /
ed out that the right of way Is given |
by the railroads to the most import
ant traffic because, this is a funda-
mental principle of operation which
should be recosnized b. the state in
making laws with reference to stop
ping traffic.

CLEANSING SPINACH

Spinach grows in sandy soil. close to the ground, and probably requires more washing than any other vege- table. This is one objection given by many housewives for not serving spinach frequently. Women who feel this way about it might better use a reliable brand of canned spinach than deny their families the benefit of so good a vegetable.
 To cleanse spinach, remove the roots and decayed leaves and let stand in cold water for half an hour; then cut the leaves froEl the stalks and wash in several waters until not a particle of sand remaids ill the water This may take anywhere from three to ten washings.

 Curling fluid for the hair is made of a tablespoonful of bruised quince seed to pint of hot water. The water is poured over the seeds and the whole allowed to stand for sev- eral hours. The resultant muscilage may then be thinned with a few drops of essence of violet.

The great thing to remember in housework Is to kee pthe back as straight as possible. If you are standing to iron, to wash dishes or to prepare food, stand as erect as you possibly can, with the abdomen held in, the shoulders thrown back and the chest rising and falling rhythmi- cally to the measure of deep drawn breaths. Let in all the sunshine you can; and whatever you do, go sum nily about your work, remembering that every fret is an ugly wrinkle.
