HIGHWAY DANGERS

In former years the country was
hol rified at intervals by terrible
railroad catastrophes in which
many people were killed. Col
lapse OF trestleS and collisions
caused most of the fatalities. For
twenty years the roadbeds Of rail
roads have been constantly
strengthened. Wooden trestles
have been succeeded by concrete
structures or solid earth and stone
entertainments as the weight OF
trains increased. Wooden coaches
have been Displaced by steel cars.
Traffic regulations have been i'm
proved in every possible way, and
serious accidents have become
rare events.
But new engine which des'roys
human lie has come into human
use Il the automobile. Today the
public highways and city streets
are rs dangerous az the railroads

slaughter they cause Is appalling

able to check the swelling list of

Attempts Made To
Break Up Band
OF Cattle Rustlers

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. PEN
nington county authorities have made
good start in the work Of break
ing up what is alleged to have been
the boldest band of cattle "rustlers'
who have operated in the eastern
foothills oe the Black Hills in recent
years. The operations of the rustlers
have been so bold that ranchers OF
the region had been intimidated and
Tor weeks feared to give information
to the authorities Of their suspicious,
as they thought disclosure of infor-
nation would be avenged by the
"rustlers" by burning the ranchers'
buildings during the night.
Amos Smith and brother are the
first alleged members of the band to
be arrested in the general round up
which now has been instituted under
the personal direction of Sheriff
Lockhart. Amos Smith, before hi.
arrest on a cattle "rustling' charge,
is said to have been in the courts
several times for selling moonshine
Whiskey.

Hello Girls to

London, Sept. Pity the poor
English telephone girls! They are
supposed to be able to tell people

their newest duty, perhaps they will
receive sigh or two of sympathy
from the operators Of switchboards
in America who for many years bore
the suffering Of having subscribers
ring up to ask "What time is it
please? My clock has stopped"
Not long ago the Post Office.
which owns all the telephones in
Great Britain, arranged with the Air
Ministry to supply each exchange
with daily. forecasts of the weather
in it's vicinity. The first month this
information was available to subscri-
bers 1O,172 persons called up to find
out If it was going to rain. Of course
it usually was, the. way of British
weather being a wet one. In London

Fridays and Saturdays. This was tax.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO ALICE HAMILTON.
DEAR LITTLE SISTER:

DEAR LITTLE SISTER:
| have been intending to write to
you for the last few days but after
one has been i'll quite time things
get at skies and sevens if you are the
one who has beap running the
house. M
There is SO much l want to say to
you, dear, that l don't know where
to begin. l wonder if you appreciate
what a wonderful time you are hav-
ing, practically doing just what vow
please. When mother let me ago
abroad I went with: a whole lot ! Of
other girls and we had two old maid
school teachers who kept strict
watch over us. One always went
ahead in the Louvre and came back
to explain that we couldn't go into
certain rooms for fear We would see
the nudes. "a,
Z, And here you are, over in PARIS,
going Il anywhere you please. AL
though you haven't told me have a
bunch that you have been pleased to
go to Montmartre and all through the
Latin Quarter with only a very lone
ly young man to pilot you and Bet
tie around.
Alice. dear, note what you say
about Karl's being more intellectual
and having more heart and more
money than Jack, consequently you
wondered why loved Jack. Al
though do not assent to any of your
contentious, yet if they were all true
I would probably be loving Jack jus,
the same.
One thing you haven't learned yet
little sister. which is probably be
cause you have never been in love
When you do fall in love you will un
derstand people do not love othe1
people because they are intellectual
because they are brilliant; because
they are handsome or because the!
are even kind. You just fall in love
That's all, my dear.
