'Stop, Look and
Listen" Will Often
Prevent Accidents

Atlanta, Ga.--At the coroner's In
quiry into recent fatal accident,
the evidence showed that the driver
of the automobile had slowed up as
the crossing was approached. Then,
either he did not hear ..the warning
signals or he thought he still had time
to cross, for he advanced and the two
occupants of the automobile were
killed.
Witnesses said warning whistles
and bells were sounded.
The engineer of the locomotive had
had 2 years experience without any
previous accident. He saw the auto
mobile slow up and thought it was
stopping. He emphasized the fact
that in recent years he has had many
nerve-shattering experiences with
motorists who come too close to the
tracks before they stop.
"You don't know whether you are
going to get them until the last mo-
ment," he declared. ''The fellow
who stops away back is my best
friend"
1t is obvious, according to Safety
First" advocates in railroad circles
here, that cars should stop far enough
away from the tracks so that there
is no possibility of contact with an
approaching train and so that too
much will not depend on the brakes
which are too often faulty.
1t is a comparatively new story to
engineers, but it is too old story
already, it was pointed out here.
Grade crossing fatalities and injuries
are not necessary. Personal careful
ness would suffice, if drivers would
only take the trouble to protect them
selves. =

Gets QUICK HELP
FOR LuMBAG0
Back at work three days
after simple home treatment

"Give me relief! Stop this agony!"-
that's all you can think Of when you're
suffering with any acute pain.
And you can get relief -quickly and
completely with very simple home
treatment.
II was in bed with lumbago, writes
C. L. Normandy Of st. Paul, Mime
sofa. "a friend told me about Sloan's
Liniment, and after using it one day,
I was able to walk around the house.
After three days / was able to 60 to
work, and now I'm as well as ever"
The reason that Sloan's Liniment
gives such remarkable relief is that it
gets right at the cause of the pain. 1t
stimulates the circula ton throughout
the place where the pain is, and clears
out the germs that are causing it.
Right away you feel relief. The
pain stops, and soon you are fit as
ever. Get a bottle today and have it
on hand. All druggists-35 cents.

Rupert Hughes
Famous Excuse Me"
Coming Soon
Great Fun Promised BY Film Version
of Pullman Car Fare


With a record of being one of the
most successful of stage farces, and
promising to duplicate this success
on the screen, Excuse Me-" Rupert
Hughes production for Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer of his own play, will come
to the Grand Theatre on Monday and
Tuesday. Those who saw the foot
light version will remember the
scenes on the Pullman car, in which
every variety of travelling, incident
happened in quick succession, "and in
which the audience was kept ina con-
tinuar uproar. =! . -,
Norma Shearer and Conrad Nagel
appear as the distraught lovers, who,
in, order to catch the overland train,
didn't have time to get married. and
now cannot find "a minister aboard.
This is Miss Shearer's first comedy
role. She was last seen as Consuelo
in Victor Seastrom's "He Who Gets
Slapped" Mr.. Nagel, usually Sc
rious plpayer,, sacrifices dignity I'M
Excuse Me" to appear as a. "demi-
simp."
Renee Adoree Trsuble-MAker
Renee Adoree plays the part Of
Francine, a friend of the hero's from
France. Walter HERS is the col6red
porter, role that is famous in the
atrical annals. John Boles, the con-
cert baritone who recently became a
screen actor has the part of Lieut..
Shaw, one of the hero's cronies.
The role of Jimmy Wellington, the
travelling salesman who manages to
carry along a continual pre-prohibi-
ton "bun" and gets into continual
trouble, is played by Bert Roach.
Others in the cast include William
V. Mong, Edith Yorke, Eugene
Cameron, Fred Kelsey, Paul Weigel
and Mae Wells.
The story adheres closely to Mr..
Hughes original idea, although the
author has expanded the incidents in
several places to take advantage of
the cameras larger scope.
Marjorie Newton and Harry NAL
Tory, young naval officer, are en-
gagged to be married. He is assigned
to duty in the Philippines, and on the
eve of his departure persuades her to
marry him hurriedly, so that she may
accompany him to the islands.
Minister on Every Train
After getting license, they has
ten to minister, only short while
before train, time. The clergyman is
i'll, and then their taxi gets in a
smash up, so that they can just make
the station. Harry assures Marjorie
there is minister on every train.
And there is; but when he is
aboard he changes to multi, being
on vacation. Marjorie is fearful
when no clergyman is produced, and
Harry spends the night cramped up
in the smoking compartment.
Then enters Francine, with her lit
tie boy, running away from her hus-
band. She insists that Harry pose as
her husband to throw detectives off
the track, and teaches the baby to
call him papa" The effect of this
on Marjorie, and the other passen-
gers on the train can easily be
imagined.
From then on events follow hilari-
ously, with troubles piling up by the
minute for poor Harry, until just as
things reach the climax, the train has
a smash-up, and in the crash the mis-
haps straighten out.

film adaptation. ALT Goulding was
