Grade Crossing Peri1s Again

A SUCCESSION of peculiarly grievous
~ accidents at railway grade crossings
renews the countrywide demand
that those points of peril be abolished, That
this can be done in a day or year is not
to be imagined. A change involving so
great a cost and so many practical difficult
ties needs must be carried out gradually.
Nevertheless, there should be no delay in
establishing q policy whereby the transpor-
tation companies and all concerned can CO.
operats Sar the speediest removal Of the
danger
For years alert railroad arrangements
have had this in mind, and have lost no op-
portunity to Dc away with grade crossings

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irving S. Cobb

q ONE twenty-five or thirty years ago an
eccentric genius, Joe Mulhatton by
~ name, and by birth a Kentuckian ex-
ercised a vivid imagination in writing ac-
counts for newspaper publication, or mar
veous discoveries which he claimed to have
made in obscure parts of his native state
and mine. He was the prototyp Of that
equally gifted but anonymous genius who
has lately made the town Of Winsted, Conn.,
famous all over America by the sending out
Of press stories of faunal wonders and nat
ural freaks which are alleged to have oc-
Cured in near this one particular COM
munity.
Month after month Mulhatton piled his
unique calling while his audience grew. He
found a cavern in the Knobs that was larger
than Mammoth Cave and filled with huge
mountains of solid ice; meteorite that was
bigger than any courthouse in the state and
all ablaZe with rare and unclassiied jewels;
a breed of tree-climbing fish which had fins
with claws on them. Always he gave com
plete details Of the phenomena, and curious
though it may seem, there were great
many persons in back districts who accepted
his yarns as gospel truth.
One day he burst into print with the tale
of a planter up on Paint Lick who had
taught six pet monkeys to pick the worms
off of growing tobacco. At that time in
teresting character, "BuIly" Mason, kept
hotel and saloon in the corner of Lancaster

try Bully" was an unrecOnstructed Con-
federate, and so credulous that he believed
everything he read-eyen Mulhatton's yarns.
A group of tobacco growers, in for the
day from the places on Buckeye Creek and
Sugar Greek, took advantage Of the old gen
tleman's trustful nature. Gathering in the
barroom, they hearkened while one of the
members read aloud the Mulhattonesque fc-
ton and then all Joined in discussion Of
this latest development in agriculture. 1t
decided that fund should be raised
with which to import and purchase a car
load of monkeys and hire experts whose job
it would be to educate them for service in
the patches against that persistent enemy Of
the weed-groWer-th tobacco worm.
All at once Bully broke in.

such a thing. Just about the time you get

SOVIET MAlEVOLENCE

attention at the Williamstown con-
ference by that veteran socialist,
John Spargo. Verify it seems that
Boileau had the communist in mind
when he wrote: Trouble rides be-
hind and gallops with him."
Mr.. Spargo spoke Of how the soviet
representative treated the British
premier. who had believed the Rus
sian government If treated with
sweet reasonableness would respond
in kind. Their propaganda is now
filled with virulent abuse of Ramsay
Macdonald. The speaker declared:

advance Of friendship made by other
governments has been followed by
increased arrogance on the part OF
the Bolsheviki."

TO REGULATE MOTORISTS

p. A legislative committee in Massa-

zsirnilar committee in the Maine Leg
isiAture will be considering like
pehlems II 1t meets with obligations
already apparent to most Of the
folks. Indeed Massachusetts, has ad-
vanced farther than has Maine, re-
quiring as 1t does proof Of ability to
drive an automobile before granting
a license, a requirement that should
be insisted upon.
Commissioner williams of the
Massachusetts department Of Public
Works told the committee that edu-
cation of all motorists is a funda-
mental and essential thing. that the
ma jority of accidents are due to
careIessness.
Among the recommendations,
which he made to the committee.
were: increasing the minimum age
limit to IS years for automobile
drivers. imposing a jail sentence tor
the first offense of driving while
drunk. uniform systems for lighting
and marking the highways. and CONF
puisory liability insurance for all
drivers.
What is there wrong about these
rec commentators? II they are right
why shouldn't they be adopted--hy

Makes Old
Folks Feel
Young Again
McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets
In Great Demand By Aged
People.

Nowadays old folks are increasing
their strength and vitality by the
use of Cod Liver Oil, which accord
ing to medical men is full of vita
mines and is the greatest body build
er in the world.
OF course they don't take the
nasty tasting, evil smelling, stomach
upsetting oil itself. Few sensible
people do that in these enlightened
days, when McCoy's Ced Liver Oil
Tablets-sugar coated and easy to
take-are sold in every drug store
in the land-60 tablets for 60 cents.
Old people who want to keep
young and vigorous as long as they
can will find that McCoy's Cod Liver
Oil Tablets are just what they need
to keep in first class condition.
Scientists tell us that God Liver
Oil is useful during every stage and
age of life' but at no time is its
wonderful building power more
clearly demonstrated than in old
age.
Why not get a, go cent box today
and increase your already decreasing
energy and strength. Take them for
30 days and note the pleasure you
get from feeling younger again.
There Is no question but what they
will help you but of that you must
be the judge.if they don't help
your money will be returned by the
druggist from whom you bought
them-for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil
Tablets are rigidly guaranteed. Be
sure, however, to get McCoy's-the
original and genuine. Mail orders

Business Revival Coming

N.N. L . lDltcJ
That we shall in due course wit
ness tangible business revival there
is no reason to doubt. Even when
debt paying necessities are allowed
for, the new purchasing power of
the farming West is bound to be
immensely enhanced by the rise of
80 per cent. or more in farm prices,
and all experience teaches what this
means to American domestic trade
activity. OF our export trade the
Department of Commerce experts, in
their forecast, speak with something
of reserve, but only because of the
emphasis they place on the compe-
tition of European goods in world
export markets which they believe
will follow the reparation settlement.
Such increasing European exports
are an inevitable incident of the
economic rehabilitation of Europe
and of our own position as a creditor
nation.
The Department of Commerce Off
Gals also rightly emphasize the fact
that, indirectly If not directly, our
own export trade should benefit by
expanding outward trade of Europe
in a new era of prosperity. If the
European States buy more of the
products of South America and the
East, the Southern and Eastern mar
kets, being thus themselves enrich
ed. will become larger purchasers of
American manufacturers. The case
would be that of a worldwide revival
of prosperity, in which the foreign
trade of the United States could not
fail to get its share.
That is what England learned in
similar circumstances after 1915. The
creditor of the outside world, her i'm
ports increased enormously and her

Why Bryan Was Nominated
(Boston Transcriptl


The New York Times owes its fav-
ogy. 1t has said the most derogatory
thing concerning him that we have
seen thus far in the campaign
something far worse than we had
hoped would ever be said about SC
highly esteemed a gentleman. The
aspersion occurs in its comments up
on Charles w. Bryan's acceptance
speech, where 1t says:
1t is by this time pretty plain
that Governor Bryan was chosen
as the Democratic candidate for
the vice presidency with one
clearly defined object. He was
to hold the vote of farmers and
laboring men in certain strategic
Western States against the as
saults of Senator La Toilette.
Now couple that with the fact
published in The Times as we'll as ali
other papers and never contradicted
by anybody. that Mr.. Bryan was
fact. that his nomination was prac-
tically dictated by him-and what do
we have?
Simply this: That Mr.. Davis Sc

nomination without regard to his ca
pacity or fitness for the place, but
with the "one clearly defined object
Of winning votes in doubtful States
by deluding voters into thinking that
this man was as much of a radical
as La Toilette; and that he did this
at a time when 1t was Obvious to

Result Abrams Investigation


(Scientitic AmericanJ
The revolutionary Abrams tech
nique for the diagnosis and treat
ment of disease which has swept the
country is utterly WithoGt founda-
ton in science.
Such is the verdict of the Scien-
tific American investigation Com
mittee which for nearly a year has
subjected the so-called electronic
reactions of Abrams to searching
analysis. The practitioners of the
Abrams method have declared 1t
holds out a new hope for suffering
humanity. It's enemies have dubbed
it the greatest piece of charlatanism
in history. The movement has
spread to all parts of the world and
threatened to upset the entire theory
OF the medical profession.
There have been Al different Yari-
atoms of the Abrams apparatus in
this country alone. The Abrams
method has had $500 practitioners;
the other methods have each had a
thousand more. The number of
patients of all them has run into
hundreds of thousands.
The so-called electronic reactions
of Abrams do not eXist-at least

They are merely products of the
Abrams practitioners minds. These
so-calied reactions are without
diagnostic value. And the Abrams
oscilloclast, intended to restore the

diseased or ailing body, is barren of
real therapeutic value. The entire

worthy of serious attention in any
