Mighty Waves Seen

Waves of extraordinary. height, mis-
called tidal waves are sometimes
encountered at sea or along the coasts.
They are due either to earthquakes
under the sea or to a combination Of
several ordinary waves. which if a
heavy sea be running, is sufficient to
account for a wave of unusual height.
Such one was recently encountered
by the British steamship Maine, near
the southern edge of the Grand Banks
of Newfoundland. The wind was ris-
ing after a hard blow and an ugly
swell about % feet high was running.
Then huge wave was seen towering
above the other seas, mile away, and
rushing toward the ship. 1t swept the

HIGHWAY SIDEWALKS
PREVENT ACCIDENTS

The increase in automobile traffic
of late years has brought among 9th
ers one very serious problem, the pro
lection of pedestrians who have TO
travel along the public highways.
Recent figures compiled by large
life insurance company, covering cas-
ualties on highways of a certain state
for the heaviest traffic season, showed
that out of 427 deaths in automobile
accidents, Al per cent of them were of
persons who were walking along pub
lie highways and were struck by mo-
florists.
AS a result of the alarming increase
in accidents of this type. authorities
have instituted campaigns of various
kinds TO reduce casualties, they have
broadcast rules which pedestrians
should follow when forced to travel
along the highways. People afoot
have been warned to carry lanterns af-
ter dark and to walk on the left side
of the road so that they will see on
coming vehicles in time to get out of
the way.
But all These precautions cannot
eliminate these accidents altogether;
they can only reduce the number.
