THEHATSDA
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

a HAT is very well-behaved
"A Most all the time. When friends
have raved
About your hat. it looks so nice,
And even tried to learn the price,
A hat Is never mean nor proud:
1t bows Its head, when yours Is bowed,
And acts the very way that you,
When you are complimented, do.
But have often noticed that
There's something strange about q
hat:
For now and then it acts so queer
It's quite astonishing, my dear.
For now and then the winds arise,
And then right off your head it fiies,,
And you must run and chase 1t then
Before you catch your hat again.
A hat is well-behaved until
Its friend the Wind comes up the hill
And then it wants to romp and run
And fly away and have its fun.
A hat will be as nice and good
AS anybody ever could
And then it ups and blows away
For even hats must have their day.

American Railway Association Car
!: rying Forward Educational Cam
paign To Reduce Accidents

The American Railway Association
will carry forward again this year,
beginning June LIST and ending Sep
TENDER 80. 1924, a CAREFUL CROS-
SING CAMPAIGN, designed to re-
duce the serious number of accidents
at Railway Grade crossings. The
Safety section of the Association will
make use Of the following features in
order to safeguard your interests
when approaching grade crossings:
The placing of posters where
needed.
The use of lantern slide in moving
picture theatres.
The use of windshield stickers on
automobiles.
Letter stickers on letters.
The removal, as far as possible, a.
round crossings of anything that
would obstruct the view.
The rigid enforcement of regula-
tions governing engine whistle and
bell signals when approaching such
crossings. n
Publicity through the press, liter
allure and otherwise.
All designed to influence the drivers
of automobiles to observe greater eau
ton when approaching Railway eros.

Up-7o-Date Minister
Uses Weather Forecast

Various modern devices for attract
ing congregations to churches have
been tried by the clergy. Probably
none exceeds in resourcefulness the
methods of a pastor in Syracuse, N.
Y, who uses weather forecasts in try
ing to fit the attendance to the ca
pacity of the church and the SER
vices to the mood Of the congregation
as affected by the weather. This pas
tor presides over a popular down.
town church unable to hold all that
come in good church weather." but
not filled in inclement weather or fine
outdoor weather.
Every Saturday morning the pastor
telephones to the local office of the
Weather Bureau of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. II
the forecast, as analysed by the local
official, is such as to indicate weather
good enough for church, but not for
golf or motoring, publicity through
the newspapers is limited, and no at
tempt is made to increase the attend
ance, as the church will be crowded
to capacity without such ecorts. But
if stormy or very fine weather is in
prospect, special announcements of SER
mon and attractive musical programs
are made in the newspapers and every
means is used to arouse interest. A
similar course is followed for the
Wednesday prayer meeting.
On the supposit:on that the general
mood of the congregation varies with
the barometer and the weather, the
pastor also tries to provide sermon
and services most suitable for the
conditions.

AGRICULTURE

Sentiment prevented the famous
cow, Sophie Nineteenth, of Hood farm
from being sold at auction and falling
into unfeeling hands when the herd
of which she was member was dis
persed year ago in April. Her own
er, Mrs. c.. l. Hood of Lowell, Mass,
preferred instead to let this worlds
champion Jersey cow continue to add
to the worlds good through her con-
tribution to scientific research, and,
accordingly, donated her to the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Her career as an active producer of
dairy products had ceased.
She arrived at the department en-
detrimental farm on May 10; and on
June 10 she was chloroformed and
prepared for the study. Outward
measurements were made of her body
while she was still alive; and after
ward the size and weight of her
various internal organs were secured.
Her wonderful record in production
of milk and butterfat over so long a
period of time makes the data secured
from her an especially valuable con-
tribution to the study that is being
made by the Bureau of Dairying of
the relation between conformation of
dairy cattle and their producing a
bility. Her skeleton will be prepared
and mounted by an expert from the
Smithsonian Institution and will be
used for study purposes in the labor
atory> of the Bureau of Dairying.
Sophie Nineteenth held the worlds
record for butterfat production in the
Jersey breed from January, 1914, to
November, 1918, with a production of
1857 pounds of milk and 900 pounds
of butterfat in year. During II
lactation periods she produced over
1900 pounds of butterfat. This is
the longtime production record for
all breeds.

During the year 1923, 1900 lives
were lost in the United States in mot
or vehicle accidents Exclusive of
grade crossing collisions between
motor vehicles and trains) an in
crease of nearly two thousand over
the record of year 1922. If grade
crossing fatalities are taken into &C.
count it would bring the total motor
vehicle deaths for the year 1923 over
$4,000. In other words, motor We
hicle accidents, including grade eros
sing collisions, took an average daily
toll of over forty-six lives during the
year 1928. The number injured in
grade crossings for the year 1928 was
5000.
On the Pennsylvania System alone
during the year 1923 there were thir-
ty persons injured by the drivers Of
automobiles, teams, ETC., running into
crossing gates after they had been
lowered.
The public can materially assist the
Association in it's effort to reduce
these injuries and fatalities by OBJ
serving the following rules:
First-In the state of Virginia, by
observing the Stop, Look and Listen
law, compelling vehicles to come to a
complete stop at grade crossings.
Second-To construe the word
"ANY TIME" to be TRAIN TIME
when approaching all railway eros
sings.
Third-When approaching a eros.
sing that has been raised above the
highway do not try to cross it in high
gear as your engine may stall. Cros-
sing in second will eliminate this
danger.
Fourth-When you have waited TO,
one train to pass on a double track
road do not take it for granted that
the road is clear. Another train, hid.
den by the first, may be approaching
on the opposite track.
Fifth-Railroad tracks do not jump
suddenly in front of you. You are
warned by signs as far back from the
tracks as 100 yards.
May we have your cooperation ano
support in our efforts to conserve life ?

cerage to be purchased in the future.
The purchases approved at the July

South mainly for the protection OF
watersheds of navigable rivers. The
provision of the Weeks Law were
greatly extended by the Clarke-Mc-
Nary Law passed by Congress last
June.
The largest purchase approved by

$40 acres are in Monroe county,
1000 in Unicoi county, and 1,224 acres
in Cooke county.

2,445 acres was approved. This a
creage lies in Mexican, Forest and
Warren counties which are located
within the boundaries of the newly
created Allegheny National Forest,
designed to protect the headwaters of
the Allegheny river, the most import
ant tributary of the Ohio river from
the north.
In West Virginia the purchase of
$50 acres on the watershed of the
Monongahela river and within the
Monongahela National Forest was ap-
proved. In Virginia 5,454 acres
within Rockingham and Augusta
counties are to be purchased. In
North Carolina 1908 acres, consist
ing largely Of single tract in Tran
sylvania county will be purchased and
will become part of the Pisgah
National Forest.
In South Carolina 1921 acres of
cumberland in Oconee county will be
acquired. This acreage is situated
in such manner that it's acquisition
will materially promote the solidifca-
ton of the Nantahla National Forest.
In Arkansas 1851 acres in Frank
lin, Stone, Pope, Newton, and Craw-
ford counties were approved for pur-
chase, the largest tract being 9,140
acres of cut-over forest land in Frank
lin county. In Georgia a small tract
IN Union county was approved, and in
Alabama 4,001 acres in Lawrence and
Winston counties will be purchased
which will materially aid in protect
ing the Alabama National Forest from
