Grade Crossing Deaths
Reduced 100 in Year

shington.-Railroads have in
formed the Interstate Commerce COM
mission that highway embarrassing
accidents, fatalities and persons in
jured were reduced in 1927 compared
with 1926.
Last year 5,64C grade crossing acct
dents took 1871 lives and caused in
juries to 6,613 persons. In 1925 the
toll was $500 accidents, with 2,491 ia
talities and 6,991 persons injured.
The decreases resulted despite 8
per cent increase in the number of
automobiles in operation in the same
period.
The American Railway association
attributes the reductions to the safe
| ty campaign work at the rail carriers.
the National Safety council and the
American Automobile association.
The railroads believe, the asocia-
ton announces, that further reduc-
lions can be had, and efforts are be-
ing made by them to increase safety
at grade crossings. 1t is said that
complete elimination of grade cross
ings is impossible because of physical
and financial conditions.

Test Yellow Pine for
More Hardy Variety

Placerville, Calif.-Yellow pine trees
from all over the United States are
being tested and cross-pollinated at the
Eddy Tree Breeding station here, in
an effort to obtain choice varieties of
forest trees that will grow faster than
the present wild stocks and hence pro-
duce crop of timber in fewer years.
Nursery paintings made last season
include seedlings of forty-nine species
and nine varieties from seed obtained
in seventeen different countries and
extensive additions are now in hand
as part of this seasons program.
The program of the station includes
gathering tree stocks from as many diff
ferent localities as possible, compar-
ing races of the same species, selec-
ton of the best individuals in native
stands as breeding stocks and artifi-
cial pollination both within given spe-
cies and between species in an effort
to produce hybrid varieties. Cross
pollination thus far has yielded by
birds of western yellow pine with
Swiss mountain pine and with the
digger pine of California.
The second tree genus on which the
experimenters intend to work is the
black walnut. They now have stock
Of the black walnut species Of north
ern California established, but have
not yet reached out for the eastern
and old world walnuts, due to their
preoccupation with the pine work.
Eventually they wish to add other
timber trees to the two now on their
experimental schedule.
The work of the station is under the
direction of Lloyd Austin, a graduate
of the University of California.

WEALTHY WIDOW BUYS
TOWN TO REVIVE 1T
Now Its so Citizens Take
New Lease on Life.

CARRIER, Mo.-Mrs. Ada Clodfelter,
wealthy widow, is indeed mistress of
all she surveys.
CARRIER was in the dumps" until
Mrs. Clodfelter came along and bought
the whole town, lock, stock, barrel and
everything. Her possessions include
100 acres Of ground on which are To-
Gated the post Office, railroad station,
q general store and cluster of
houses.
Now CARRIER has new grip on life.
It's 80 inhabitants are hopeful that
under the guidance of their new bene-
factor the town will soon grow by
leaps and bounds. Mrs. Clodfelter
outlined an ambitious program for
the towns welfare and already the
lethargy that has kept it in rut these
many years has been broken by the
spell of new activity.
Elected as Mayoress.
In recognition of her services thus
far, townspeople held meeting and
elected Mrs. Clodfelter mayoress
Then she made known her plans to
inject some snap into the affairs of
this doing, picturesque little settle
ment. She said she would build a
summer resort whose fame would
spread far and wide.
Once before CARRIER experienced the
thrill of notoriety. That was when
Harold Bell Wright chose this scenic
settlement for the perturbation of his
"Shepherd of the Hills" One of his
principal characters was "Old Matt
81. X. Ross), postmaster, who also
operated the general store. But after
the first wave of popularity had
passed CARRIER settled back again and
dozed.
Plans Large Tourist Hotel.
The town nestles in valley short
| distance from Mutton hollow and
Roark creek, and is one of Missouris
Oldest settlements. Before Mrs. Clod-
felter took hold of things it looked
as if CARRIER would always be in q
rut. But right off she said she was
going to put the town on the map for
keeps, and townspeople pitched in tc
help carry out her plans.
| Mrs. Clodfelter plans to build a
large tourist hotel, some tourist cab.
| ms, another general store and some
other improvements. She has applied
for the position of postmistress in the
same store where "Old Matt" worked
and she hopes to transform CARRIER
into suitable memorial to the "Shep.
herd of the Hills"
Mrs. Clodfelter operates two board.
ing houses at Springfield. Just as
soon as she can dispose of these she
plans to build her own home in the
heart of her paradise settlement.

both officially and both nationally rec
ognized. One Is to be called SUM-
mer' and the other winter time, and
by this conflicts and misunderstand-

Railroads and public utilities in
general will observe the new system

England's Richest Woman
Has Her Home at Sea

Rouen.-COmplete separation from
the world at last has been achieved
by England's wealthiest woman.
On her yacht Liberty, moored In a
wide reach of the Seine not far from
here, Lady Houston, widow Of the late
millionaire shopowner, Sir Robert
Houston, rests In luxurious solitude.
Even her friends can't reach her. For
that she IS sorry. But. she says, she
was driven to Ii.
Nearly two years ago her husband
died leaving her a fortune Of $35,OOO.-
600. She herself undertook the ad-
ministering Of the huge estate. But
so many investment brokers and fnan-
ciers descended upon her that she fed
in fright. From 4 cabin In her 1,e0O-
ton yacht she directs her affairs. But
none approaches her, and only the
most important mail Is delivered to
her.
The real reason-so friends say
for her strange seclusiOn is not her
desire to escape from routine business
affairs. Rather 1t Is TO get away from
England, where, she suspects, her hus-
band died of what she calls sinister
influences"
What they are she will not divulge.
His tombstone tells enough, she said.
On 1t she had inscribed: ITO my hus-
band, Sir Robert Houston. who died
most mysteriously."
