Fewer Crossing Accidents.

Railroad accidents at grade crossings
have shown a marked decrease during
the first six months Of the present year,
as compared with the same period Of
the Immediately preceding years. This
is a very satisfactory showing, in view
of the greatly increased number of au-
tomobiles on the roads, and is due in
great measure to the precautions Of the
railroad organizations to protect these
points rather than to any exhibition OF
care on the part of drivers. The num-
Der OF accidents at highway grade cross
ings totaled 1885 for the first six
months this year, the smallest for any
corresponding period since 1925, when
there were 2.276. Fatalities resulting
from such accidents totaled 962 in the
first half of 1880. which also was the
lowest number for any corresponding
period since 1928, when there were 941
while persons injured 50 far this year
totaled 1855, compared with 1852 in
/ 1928.

MARRIAGE MIx.UP.

z Du b no, Poland - Here is a strange love story. A wealthy To- cal merchants had four daughters, one pretty and three plain. The pretty girl was in love with a poor man, but lack of money prevented the marriage. The merchant had set heavy dowries on the three plain girls, but none on the pretty one. The young man acted. He ignored the pretty girl entirely and paid violent attention to one of the plain ones. A date for the mar riage was set. Just as he was to put the ring on her hand, the lights went out. The service continued in the dark. Lights! And he had placed the ring on the finger of the pretty sister. He had already received most of the dowry.

Davis has been on the coast for
two months and defeated Vincent
MARTINEZ AT the Olympic club.
