started to walk down the track to
Victorville when struck by the train.
The engineer of the limited sighted
Stitler vile the train was several
hundred feet away and sounded the

owing to the high wind blowing and
the possible fact that he was some

The Youths Companion Home Calen
dar for 1924

According to our way of thinking,
a calendar should be, above all, use
full. Unfortunately many of the cal
endars we see are nothing but pretty
pictures with calendar attachments.
In the Companion Home Calendar for
1924, however, we find a calendar
beautifully printed in red, blue and
gold, and designed especially for
handy reference. Each page carries
not only the calendar of the current
month in bold readable type, but
also marginal reference to the pre-
ceding and coming months. the
moons phases, and choice bit of
cheerful philosophy. A copy of this
calendar is sent free to every SUBJ
scriber who pays $3.50 for the SO
