ROAD eMoyEso FROM CROSSING

The Herald the other day contain ed an editorial reference to the famous death crossing" along the Lincoln highway at New Carlisle, Ind, where this tmnscontinental road crosses the New York Central tracks at point where high speed Is common, and where two trolley, or intcrurban, lines also cross the highway.
 Since the earlier editorialwas pub lished a western newspaper comes 10 hand announcing that the Lincoln highway will be moved" two miles south to avoid the death trap which has been a particular menace to automobile tourists not familiar with the topography.
 This is probably is.the first time in the history of American highways where an important road was moved in order to avoid a dangerous cross ing. This action came after the trol' ley companies pleaded inability tc pay their share of the eXpence of a viadpct and the town of New Carl isle corced the rairoad slow dowr it's trains to eight miles an houl through the town.
 Indiana has much to learn about ] highway administration If the stat' is unable to force construction of viaduct at such a point, and II forced to order the road moved for that reason. c

OH MAN! tBy Marion Harriman)

T Nps Ntoitoh Men have most peculiar manners, Whether city chaps or jays: They'll parade and carry banners Freezing nights and boiling days. They will shout for politicians, Dance all night to wild musicians, Drink, despite all prohibitions And then laugh at women's ways. Man loves lodge room pomp and
 glitter,
 Loves their uniforms and cloaks: With sick friends he is some sitter; Loves to laugh at burlesque jokes. He's bird for stock promotions; Great to make and second motions; Great to dodge his church devo-
 tions--
 And to laugh at women folks. Yes. the men are truly funny. How they love 10 strike the pose That, with them. this stuff called
 money
 Easy comes and easy goes, Tip the bootblack half dollar; Anything to be loller Wear a stiff, high-s.anding collar And then laugh at women's clothes.
