GRADE CROSSING PROBLEM
WILL GET MORE ATTENTION

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has recommended that the rail
roads concentrate their attention and
resources on doing away with danger
Gus grade crossings instead of spend
ing further money on installation of
train control devices.
In the years 1923 to 1927 inclusive
there were 11,485 killed and 32,998
injured in grade crossing accidents.
In the same period there were 1,484
killed and 1878 injured in rail col
lisions and rerailments.
In other words there were more
than seven times as many killed and
nearly twice as many injured in cross
ing accidents as in accidents on the
railroads. Any given sum of money,
it is believed, will prevent many more
accidents if spent on grade separa-
tions than if spent on railroad safe
ty appliances.

Friedrichshafen.-D the great 12-
engined, all-steel, 100-passenger flying
boat which was launched July IA and
carried out her flying tests above Lake
Constance to the full satisfaction OF
her designers, is to attempt trans
atlantic crossing for the sole purpose
of trying out her capacities.
This announcement by Doctor Dor
nier, the builder, marks complete
change in plans, for only month ago
he declared roundly that he did not
intend regular Atlantic service. lie
wanted no sensations at all, but a
servieeable long distance flying boat
that would allow economic transport
with the maximum of safety.
Hitherto aircraft has not been able
to carry any ;:ppreciable cargo, as the
fuel in itself was sufficient load. The
designers of Dox hope to demonstrate
by means of transatlantic voyage
that new era has dawned.
A great feature Of the new flying
boat is the unusually large technical
staff that she is to carry on her flights.
There will be two pilots who will do
nothing but obey the captains orders
and an engineer and four mechanics
who will do nothing but supervise the
motors. This means that the weight
of responsibility is shared In much the
same manner as it is on board ship.
Apart from this feature there is, of
course, the unusual size Of the Dox
and its general capacity over the ord
type aircraft. On her trial flight,
while travelling at less than sixty miles
an hour, the engines were able to
raise the "a tons of her weight into
the air with the greatest ease after
takeoff run Of only 500 yards.
On the first morning after the giant
machine was released from the huge
sheds where she had been under con-
struction for the better part Of two
and a half years she rose from the
water three times without hitch. A
storm of cheering rose from the banks
of all the lakeside towns as the boat
swept past.
Housewives and burghers left their
homes and gazed in wonderment
across the waters. Among the spec
tators were DR.. Hugo Eckener, Yep

have constantly sought to remove this

by the Stockmen's association for the

The killer wolf has been seen by

The wolf is never close enough for

"that haven't been able to get
around. 1t is just terrible how much
a fellow has to do in college,"
1t just is; and no one realizes the
fact more than when l see Jordan
out on the golf links. or sitting in
a local confectionery, smoking and
drinking "coke," or walking hand in
hand with a pretty girl down the
broad walk. The truth is that men,
young and old, are often too busy to
do what they have no desire to do.
It is the stock excuse for not going to
church. Cooper was caught stealing
from a locker in the gymnasium.
"Why did you do it?" l asked him.

two or three weeks ago." he explained,

cuse to justify in his own mind the
act which he realized perfectly we'll

Possibly the hosts social standing was
not all that might be desired, maybe
the wives of some Of those invited did
not like the hostess. There was
reason, no doubt, and it was not the
reason which in each case was alleged.
They were simply wanting to dodge
the engagement, they did not want to
attend the mans party, and were not
skillful enough to think up logical
excuse. 1t Is amazing how easy it is
to trump up an excuse for doing what
one desires to do, or for emitting to
do what one wishes to get out of.
The Bentleys did not make con-
tribution to the church expenses this
year, though they are quite able to do
so, and they have been adherents of
that particular organization since
away back in the early days. They
have a good excuse, they think. Some
action of the executive board was not
to their liking. The choir does not
please them, or the sewing society Is
not being run as they would have 1t
done, so they are not going to have
their good money spent in way they
do not approve. The real facts are
that they are only looking for hole to
crawl through. 1t is salve to their
consciences; it Is an explanation of
why they are evading a known duty.
Jordan should have been to see me
weeks ago about a matter which was
left unsettled at his last visit.
u have just been SO busy, DEAN
he explains to me when I have head
on collision with him on the campus.

Twenty expert engineers were on
board during the trial flights, but no
passengers were carried. Doctor Dor

Although cabins are ready on the
Dex for 40 passengers, sleeping ac-
commodation for 100 can be arranged.
The twelve engines can develop a
total of 5000 horsepower and the In
terest from a technical point of view
resides in the fact that each Of the
motors can be treated individually
without affecting its neighbors.
The flying boat measures $50 feet

wing tip. Six great turrets project

HOUSE TAKES
UP own funds
Considering S1S,000,-
900 Bill For Con-
gress Expenses

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-tPl--
Having parcelled out funds for all
other branches Of government, the
house turned its attention today TO

aries and those OF the senate and
care for the upkeep Of congress for
1880.
The measure, perhaps the last Of
the annual supply bills to reach con-
gress in the short session, carries
funds for the expenses OF nine sep
arate activities allied with the legis-
lative branch OF government.
The bill carries ss91, 900 more than
did last years measure, the increases
largely because the next session Of
congress will be long one, and be-
cause Of increases for the mainte-
nance or the Library or Congress and
for repairs and construction TO the
capitol.
The measure would allot $2.95l .65l
for the senate. s7.5so,36l for the
house. s77,77O for the capitol police,
SlO.i90 for the joint committee on
printing. $4,000 for legislative coun-
sci. $2,s9l.207 for the architect Of the
capitol, Sl73. .060 for the botanic gar
dens. $i,S62.si2 for the Library OF

ernment printing office.
