Conductors of Nation

The Order Of Railway Conductors

OFF the Front Page

Though his pictures will for some
time be viewed with more than pass
ing interest because he was a superb
actor and though he will be remem-
bered for long time by friends and
screen fans for his interesting per-
sonality, Rudolph Valentino is off the
front pages of the country's press
very soon for good and all. There is
an end to everything Of course, only
here the end came sooner than his
age and apparent health would indi-
cate so that there are many to de-
plore what seems an untimely death.
Though his actor friends declare
there is no one who can take his place
it is usually in life as on the front
page there will be something, some-
one to take the place in public inter-
est. Those who entertain us always
hold larger place in our interest
than those who teach no matter how
valuable may be their instruction.
For this reason the death of Valen-
tino has been given more extended
notice in the papers and more atten-
ton by the people of the country
than his celebrated contemporary in
death, DIR. Chas Eliot. But just as
a book of science may outlast best
seller so an educators name and in
fluence will outlast his generation.

SAFETY EDUCATION

Safety education is conducted in schools
with admirable results. Older children care
fully taught the dangers of the highways and
the proper method of crossing them many
times are able to%mbue the younger ones with
their caution. But the instruction should not
begin there nor end there. 1t should be con-
tinualy emphasized in the home. No street,
no stretch of country road is any longer safe.
That fundamental should be impressed upon
every child. There would be less %chances
taken, less accidents on the highways if it
were fully grasped.

SPEED USUALLY EXPLANATION

Sunday ought to be made a day of rest for
lot of overworked Speedometers.
That is humorous statement of a very Sc
rious need. The Monday newspaper every
where has become motor casualty list. One
is tempted to look down the columns not for
whether automobile accidents occurred but
whether ones friends were among the victims.
And this situation prevails largely because
speedometers havt been overworking. Des-
pite all that has been said that at times it is
safe for autoists to attain high speed, the
facts are that it is not safe. Just where the
dividing line between safety and danger is for
others to determine, but high speed in the pop
ular sense is nine times out of ten the cause of
accidents.
A car runs off bridge. 1t could not if the
car were under control. One car is rammed
by another. Even the victim car might have
avoided the accident had it's speed been low
cred. A child is run down. More often than
not this tragedy might be averted if the au-
tomobile were going slower. In most cases
speed, even speed within the law, is RESPONSE
BILE for the bloodshed and the property dam
age.
The lesson that the motorist needs to learn
is moderation. The American lost his liquor
because he did not know how to use it. He
has lost other things and will lose more unless
he learns the lesson of moderation. Under
certain conditions the law permits speed up to
35 miles an hour. If the motorist elects to go
beyond that speed he must expect the conse-
quences.
In investigating motor accidents it is not un-
erringly found, but very often so, that the
speed of one or both cars explains the real
reason for the smash.

3OO-P Pound Stone Axe
Found In Georgia

Atlanta, Ga.-State officials and
in a guessing contest during the last
two days as to the origin and pur-
pose of gigantic stone axe that is
on display in the office of Colonel S.
G. McLendon, SECRETARY of state.
The weapon was brought to Atlanta.
by L. R. Waller. of Putnam county,
on whose land it was found.
The axe weighs more than 800
pounds, is 20 inches long, 1917 wide,
and is II " inches thick. 1t is made
of agranite-like substance, with
groove for handle near the center.
AS it is not possible to imagine
human being huge enough to split
craniums or cordwood with a 800
pound tomahawk. it is the general
opinion that the axe was intended for
ceremonial purposes only, or for a
traditional chieftain who was expect
ed to return some day from the happy
hunting grounds. Similar immense
weapons hav ,-ebeen found in New
Mexico and Arizona. it is said, where
caves were sticked with implements
to be used by the mythical Monte
yuma" when he visited the earth.
The Creek Indians at one time
maintained headquarters on the
Oconee river in Putnam county,
where the tomahawk was found, ac-
cordiBg to Mr.. Waller. Their tradi-
tion was that the stone axe had been
'elded by powerful chieftain who
~etufR to earth some day.
