CareIessness At Crossings

The grade crossing accident is one Of the leading
contributors to our auto traffic death list. And the
thing every driver should remember Is that in most
cases such accidents are the fault Of the motorists
themselves.
Figures compiled BY the Pennsylvania Railroad
System show that during the first four months Of
this year. one-third Of all grade crossing accidents
occurred when motorists drove into the sides Of trains.
And in exactly half Of these cases. the train involved
was either standing still or moving at a snails pace
Of less than 10 miles an hour.
The bhthe carelessness with which some drivers
approach railroad crossings could not be illustrated
more clearly. II Is sheer folly to drive up to any
crossing without making absolutely sure that no
train is in sight, but to blunder against 2 trnin that
is actually on the crossing at the time Is The next
thing 10 simple suicide.

Citrus Loans Appear Certain

Slowly but surely the maze Of red tape which has
surrounded the making Of citrus rehabilitation loans
in the Valley is being untangled. and the definite
making of the loans really appears certain for the
immediate future.
Principal cause Of the uncertainty which has sur
rounded the proposal seems to lie In the changing
personnel at the Austin office Of the Rural Rehabili-
tation and ReSettlement administrations at the same
time as the orders were being issued In Washington.
Apparently no one in Austin wanted To be the

For a long time 1t was thought that the bad effects
Of air in closed rooms might be due to an excess Of
carbon dioxide. Now it is realized that this is not
very dangerous.
at the same time 1t has been established that air
slightly cool is better for the body than that exceed

McBride's sweet throw from right

The GOodyears came back In the
last half OF the third TO score four

contributed to the four run smear.
The Tiremen led fve-four until
the fifth when the Pan-Ams scored

Errors at second and third, a double
