NEW YORK. April 2S.--Examina-
ton of the mental condition of Celia
Cooney, bobbed-hair bandit, and her
husband Edward is to be made by
two commissioners appointed by
County Judge Martin in Brooklyn to-
day.
Decision to appoint a commission to
examine Cooney was reached last
week following information that
Cooney's father died in an insane
asylum fifteen years ago and that the
prisoner had shown mental deficiency.
Judge Martin decided to appoint a
commission to examine the young
woman also when he learned that a
motion probably would be made to
have her plea of guilty set aside to
enable her to go on trial on a defense
of temporary insanity.

With American Red Cross life-saving
methods as a model, Boy Scouts of the

So the picture OF idIe pies or money
is all wrong. Even a picture of piles
OF bonds is wrong If ii stops at that
The bonds represent two things.
First, since they are readily saleable
for cash, they mean that any individ-
ual can get his savings out again In
the form Of money within a reasonable
time. Secondly, and more important.
behind those bonds loom mp the rail-
roads. factories. businesses and public
works that the money invested in
them set going for the benefit OF
everyone. including the depositors
themselves Saving. therefore. is not
merely accommodating money-it is ac-
cumulating real wealth The money
flows on like water to turn other
wheels-the real wealth and savings
of the country are the accumulated
factories and other enterprises evil
denced by the bonds.
Therefore the true picture OF what
the bankers mean when they say the
savings accounts of the American peo-
pie total eighteen billion dollars, in
stead of piles of money in vaults,
would be factories. railroads and pub
lie works in action.

crossings for the year was 1855.
practically all of which were addea
without railroad solicitation.
If no new crossings were added, il
would be physically impossible to
remove the present crossings in the
lifetime of anyone now living, be-
cause of the serious interference
with absolutely essential traffic
movement, the CONSTITUTIONAL and
labor problems involved and the
wholly prohibitive cost.
Several years ago conservative
engineers estimated the average
cost of crossing elimination, city and
country, at $4,000 per crossing.
These figures must be revised and it
is now believed the average cost will
approximate $4,000 per crossing.
1t is easily seen that the stupendous
sum of S19,000,000,000 may be
involved; more than the Interstate
Commerce Commissions preliminary
valuation of all of our railroads. If
the money could be borrowed it
would cost nearly a billion dollars a
year for interest alone.
The value of organized effort for
safety has been demonstrated upon
the railroads through the reduction
of deaths of employees on duty from
4,534 in 1907 to 1,657 in 1922. This
result has been achieved notwith-
standing a vastly larger force of
employees in service during the
latter year.
1t is logical to assume that educa-
ton of the travelling public to the
exercise of a reasonable degree of
care when approaching and passing
over railroad crossings will have a
good effect in reducing such
accidents.
By whistle and bell, due and
timely warning is given of the
approach of trains. The traveller
upon the highway, particularly the
driver of an automobile, should be
charged with full responsibility for
his conduct in approaching and
passing over railroad crossings.
Every driver over a railroad-high-
way crossing owes to himself, his

passengers and to the employees and
passengers on trains, a positive duty
90 cross crossings cautiously. This
simple procedure will, in itself, save
many, and possibly hundreds of
lives.
This is vacation time; it is also the
time for an increase in grade cross
ing accidents; it need not be a
dangerous time if every driver will
realize that every grade crossing is
hazardous.
Any time is train time at a rail-
road crossing.
Stop at grade crossings and cross
in low or second speed.
When you reach a crossing and
wait for train to pass, do not get
too close; stop back about seventy
five feet and shift to neutral. Brake
shoes on the wheels of railway cars
have been knows to come off and if
one should strike you serious injury
would be the result. Do not get
too close to the passing train.
When you have waited for a train
to pass do not start up as soon as it
clears the crossing, wait until it has
gone about two thousand feet. This
will give you a clear view of the
opposite track.
Grade crossings are guarded by
warning signs which are far enough
from the right of way to give you
time to slow down and stop.
Associate the sight of these signs
with the sight of a traffic officer at
a busy corner. When the officer
says "stop"-would you disobey
him? The penalty at most would
be fine. In the case of the grade
crossing the penalty for any dis
regard of the warning sign may be
your life.
An express train crosses a high
way in about seven seconds. Is il
an economy to try to save seven
seconds at the risk of your life?
Today it is recognized that
accidents at railroad crossings are
not primarily railroad problems
Analysis shows it is the public which
suffers the pain. mutilation, death
and distress in such mishaps, and
finally pays.
The public may mean youl Linger
a little and linger longer.

What Do the Bankers Mean,
Eighteen Billion Dollars in

to them. Most of them seemed to see
visions of endless stacks OF coins and
bales Of currency slowed away in the
vaults of fine looking granite bank
buildings.
Now, as a matter of fact, there is
less than nine billion dollars worth
of money in the country all told, in
Guiding gold, silver. nickel and paper
money OF all kinds. That is less than
half the eighteen billion. Therefore
there must be something wrong with
the vision of eighteen billion dollars
In stacks and bales in the bank vaults.
More than that. there probably is not
more than one dollar for every twenty
of that eighteen billion actually in
the savings bank.
But the eighteen billion in savings
bank Is no myth just the same. Sup
pose all the savings depOsitors could
demand all their money all at once.
and that they insisted on immediate
settlement one way or another when
they found they could not get 1t all

be that they would come into posses

best railroad. equipment, public util-
ity and other corporation bonds. The
savings depositors are really the own
ers OF all his vast real wealth.
What the bankers really mean,
