.RkYMER GETSA
TASTE OF STORM

Raymer got small taste Of storm
Saturday and 1t was sufficient. A.
cut the middle Of the forenoon II
broke upon public that was sus-
picious, but hardly expecting such
a display OF fierce wind and snow.
The two combined, made few hours
OF about as unpleasant weather as
we have witnessed in this state.
The train from the east stuck In
bank Of snow between here and
buckingham. Towards night the
wind went down, and two engines
and snow plow came up from Ster-
ling and plowed their way through
the snow to the snow bound train.
They then backed up to the station
at Raymer and left the snow plow
while they went back to get the
train. The engine on the first train
had been drained on account OF low
water. They succeeded In starting
back with the train, but they then
ran into drift behind them and
hey too stalled. The next morning
another rescue train from Sterling
came to their relief and managed to
get the whole lot out some time be-
fore noon. Five engines we're at
Raymer for short time.
The shortness Of the storm was a
blessing. That It was not a school
day was another blessing, and the
snow that fell only adds to our sup
ply Of moisture.
We also could not help but feel
that 1t was blessing that It was
not the week before with two trucks
Of kiddies on their way to Greeley.
Tuesday morning the sun got In
its work on the snow and, water
was running everywhere at noon,
but later In the day the sun went
on a strike and rain commenced to
fall, which changed to snow by night
and heavy fall of snow came and
continued until yesterday morning.
The snow was very wet, and the
Burlington trains for this branch
were all annuiled and school trucks
wisely remained in the sheds.
This morning. everything is lovely
again over head. but roads are I'm
passable. There will be no more
school this week. Mr.. Amber phones
from Buckingham that II there Is
II road open In his entire distric. he
has not heard of 1t.
TIE Burlington. sent out snow
pluw early his morning which arrlv :.

and this will be followed by the
regular trains.

THE BASEBALL SAMSON

In 1921 George Ruth, commonly
called Babe, was the foremost and most
spectacular figure in baseball, by rea-
son Of the fact that he could hit them
farther and oftener than any other.
In 1922 the champion failed miser-
ably, not only to play baseball up to
his own standard, but to enlist the
sympathy of fans in his failure. Ruth
was too evidently "stuck" on himself
to leave room for anybody else to ad,
,nire him. When he failed to hit the
ball, he showed a temper and lack OF
the quality that is called sportsman.
ship, and thus turned popularity into
ridicule. By the end Of the season
Ruth was a far from popular figure
in baseball.
/, Now the scene again has changed
Ruth has spent the winter in hard
training, and reported at the spring
training camp in fine physical condi-
ton. His temper also appears to have
improved with the admixture Of hui
mility that has somehow seemed to
creep into his disposition. Ruth is
no longer sitting on top of the world.
He is seriously trying 10 recover lost
ground, lost, many believe, through
his own rush of Importance to the head.
Sentiment towards him is changing,

COST OF CRADE-cRossINGS

If the people of this great commu
nifty and the officials of the railroads
which are doing such large and con-
stantly increasing business here, would
seriously consider the grade-crossing
evil in it's economic respect, not to
speak Of the danger to life and limb,
there seems little doubt that something
soon would be done in a practical
way to remedy this discouraging sit
uation.
Those coming down Twentieth street
from the southside Tuesday morning
about $50 o'clock We're halted by a
long train of 'empties" going south
a delay costing great deal in
time and money-a wholly unnecessary
expenditure. 1t took that train going
at a slow rate three or four minutes
to cross Twentieth street at Railroad
avenue. Here is list of traffic
b o c k e d.: Thirty-two automobiles
loaded with people en- route to their
business; seven street cars carrying to
their work perhaps one hundred and
fifty people; nine trucks loaded with
goods for delivery; three drays, and
over two hundred pedestrians hurrying
to their vocatiohs-all delayed. On the
northside going south were sixteen au-
tomobiles, five trucks, two drays, five
street cars and over one hundred and
fifty pedestrians, all similarly delayed
in order that train of "empties"
might get over the death trap. At
Eighteenth street and Railroad avenue,
Fourteenth street and Railroad avenue;
in fact, at a dozen or more crossings
in various parts of the city, similar
situation develops each day in the
week often from ten to twenty times
a day, with its ever-increasing cost.
1t would be impossible even to es-
innate this waste with any degree of
accuracy. Suffice it to say that it
runs into the hundreds, and perhaps
thousands, of dollars day. This in
cludes losses to the railroads them
selves, for they get large part of
this business, which is delayed and ha-
raised at the grade-crosings daily and
hourly. 1t is worth while to consider
the economic cost of this distressing
situation, while emphasizing both the
legal and moral rights of some 100000
people subjected to constant danger
from the same source.

lynchings. Nor is this situation con-
fined to any particular section.
This, however, is not the fault of
the courts, but rather a matter of
methods. Without the courts mob law
would become intolerable. With all
the appeals made to the authorities
for action against this evil, its aboll-
ton, or even its partial stamping out,
lies largely in the power of the citi-
zens themselves. Public sentiment can
accomplish almost anything. When the
people of anylocality or section wake
up to the economic, as well as the
moral and intellectual, injury one mob
can conflict upon them, there will be
hope for effective action against one
of the worst evils that retards develop
ment along all lines. Correction of
this stigma on American institutions is
partly through public sentiment, wheth-
er that takes the form of forcing more
prompt and effective court action, 81
Of insisrence upon better performance
of duty by authorities in charge OF
prisoners before they are brought be-
fore the courts. It is, after all, largely
a matter of education. 1t is very likely
that aggressive action on the part of
public officials and governors looking
to the detection and punishment of the
guilty would help in this education.

JOHN A-DREAMS
CLv.-Dreams of Cosmetic,

Young girls, more often than
older women. dream of cosmetics
and the use of them. They are
frequently inclined Gas 1 CLEAN
from their letters) to Ignore such
visions. because they believe that
they mean nothing and are super
induced by memory.
This is wrong. While It Is true
that memory plays great part
In our dreams, the fact remains
that certain dream actions, no
matter what brings them about,
are true indications of either past
CT future, and should never be
brushed aside until we are abso-
lutely certain that they are mean
ingless.
The 1ipstick Is a sure harbinger
of secret. forbidden kisses; and to
use 1t in your dreams is a hint
that you will try to hide the sus-
picious red of your mouth.
Quite different is the meaning
of rouge. 1t foretells illness. The
white cheeks you are trying to
cover and conceal are signs of
suffering.
If you put powder on your face
In your dreams. you Will tell a
lie-you will conceal your true
of your words, because the per-
son to whom you will tell the
falsehood Is, in your correct opin-
ION, not worthy Of your conf
dence.
To put anything on your hair,
whether 1t be perfumed prepara-
ton. dye or cosmetic powder,
IS a sign of cares and foreshadows
gray hair. Naturally, this does
not mean that you will turn white
over night; but a year or two
hence. the youthful lustre of
your tresses will fade.
There is much significance in a
dream which depicts a girl or
woman among others of her sex,
all engaged In powdering or
roushing themselves or each
other. The meanings narrated
above, referring only to what you
do when you are alone. do then
not apply. Done in company, such
actions mean great preparations
for an important family event.
wedding, a christening or an en-
gagement-but whether you will
be directly concerned must be de-
termined by the progress Of the
dream.

quaintance using cosmetics, you
may set him down as false, fool

your consideration or that of your
friends. If not you. but some

him, warn her before it Is too
late.
To see an old woman use cos

a guest but will feel very uncom-

PEOPLES FORUM

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In your issue of Saturday, April
I, you say: 1T is said that more
than ninety per cent of the money
collected in taxes goes for armies
and navies. Ninety cents cut of
every dollar for war, and ten cents
for all other purposes of gov
eminent" 1t is only too true that
lit is said" 1t is lamentable that
The Age-Herald should repeat
such a misleading statement. Many
of The Herald readers are
busy men and women who haven't
the time to check the statements
appearing in your columns, but ac-
cept them at face value, as they
should. The effect of such state
ments is to handicap those who
are working for the nations Sc
curity, to prejudice the uniform
ed against the national defense.
Your opinion in regard to ma
tional defense in general is correct
nifty to commend The Age-Herald.
The statements quoted above, how
ever, are previously wrong and. if
true, would Justify all citizens in
demanding radical reduction in
expenditures for national defense.
The fact of the matter is that, in
stead of ninety cents of every dol
lar being spent fer war, only 1875
cents is to be spent on national
defense during the next fiscal
year. The total per capita taxes
for all government purposes for
the year 1922 was S90.6S, total of
nearly ten billion dollars. This
includes municipal and town,
county. state and federal taxes.
OF this only 1916 per cent is to be
daf a
attached statement, tC which your
attention is respectfully invited,
gives the details of total expendi-
lures by the federal government.
The cost of past wars, as this
statement shows. is altogether too
high. That We are now saddled
with this burden is due solely to
the fact that the nation has re-
fused to accept and act upon
Washington's teaching that ito
be prepared fer war is one of the
most effectual means of preserv-
ing the peace" One of the para
,ng peace we can never afford ade-
uate preparedness, whereas for
every war we have been compelled
to pay many times over what the
started 1T properly prepared. In
the long run we have lost great
sums. excessively great sums, in
this way. BY saving small
amount CT money during peace we
greatly multiply our war losses,
not only in money, but in precious
lives. This is not only foolish. it
is stupidity.
Cannot The Age-Herald give Its
readers the true facts and avoid
giving aid and comfort to the ma
tons enemies who would have US
Immediately reduce its defences,

OUT UPON LYNCHINC!

Calling upon the authorities, the
press, the pulpit and the citizens all
to unite in efforts to stamp out
lynching, the Woman's Missionary
Council of the Methodist church in ses-
sion at Mobile adopted vigorous reso-
lutions against mob violence. Such
appeals have become more and more
frequent. They are based on wide
spread recognition Of the multiplying
evils Of this form of barbarism, for
which there may have been at least
semblance of excuse during certain
trying conditions developed In the re-
construction period; but for which no
sort of excuse can be offered in these
days of established law machinery. If
the crime which this form Of ven
geance seeks to abolish or reduce were
actually stopped by a few lynchings,
perhaps those who took part in them
might have talking point in their de-
tense. But experience and observa-
ton have demonstrated that no such
effects follow lynchings. On the con-
trary, innocent persons are often the
helpless victims of mob frenzy. I'm
doubted,y the apparently increasing
tendency toward legal technicalities as
a means for escape by criminals has
exercised discouraging influence on
moves of various kinds to abolish

GROWING BANK DEPOSITS

The increase of 100000 in bank
deposits of six Birmingham banks in
the first quarter of the year is worthy
of notice, not only because it shows
that deposits have increased at the
rate of more than S1,000,O00 a month
in these banks, but that this increase
should have occurred in the first quar-
ter of the year. The last call on the
banks was under date of April 8 and
the prior call was of December 20,
1922. At close of the year the banks
were grooming with the returns from
an enormous Christmas trade, which
is always largest of the year and was
especially large last year. In early
January, however, there is large
outgo to the East and North in pay
ment of the merchants bills, due the
first of the year, which tends to re-
duction of the volume of deposits. The
increase in deposits reflects the un-
usual production and the payrolis OF
the past quarter. The average Of in
crease is about the same with all the
banks and shows that this prosperity
is general one. Moreover, it shows
that Birmingham wage-earners, wheth-
err in factory or counting house, are
inclined to lay by a surplus when they
have it. That is the best feature of
the increase.
