GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS

INDIANA has an unenviable record for grade cross
a. ing accidents. Last year the state ran up the
third largest total of such accidents in the country
287. Illinois first with 422, and Ohio second
with 349.
Since 1922, more than $4,000 persons have been
killed or injured in motor vehicle accidents at grade
crossings. Last year the toll was 1912 deaths and
4434 persons injured in 1898 accidents
The state had 10,427 grade crossings at the be-
ginning of 1885, OF this number the Interstate
Commerce Commission classified 8073 as mot spe-
cially protected" meaning they were equipped with
some type of fixed sign considered Inadequate OF
tbs countrys 234820 crossings, ST per cent were in
this class Only those crossings equipped with gates
Watchmen, audible or visible signs, or both of the
latter, were defined as specially protected"
INDIANA averaged 27 accidents per 100 crossings
last year, compared with the national average of
Id survey by Editorial Research Reports showed
heavy rail and highway traffic in the more denselv
populated sections of the East and Middle West
was an important factor in the frequency of &C
cidents.
Grade crossing casualties increased steadily up to
1929, paraleling the upward trend of motor vehicle
registrations. After dropping off during the early
depression years. the number began to rise again
in 1884 and 1885.
The need fof protected crossings and for crossing
elimination is emphasized by the growing volume OF
passenger and freight traffic on highways-much of
it at high speeds
One step in this direction was to earmark $780,
100000 of Federal workreef funds for grade cross
ing elimination. 1ndiana's share of this was fixed
at SILL ,096.
The state also will benefit from the $488 900 900
road bill passed by Congress this month. 1t author

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

A COLLEGE boy hurrying home for Mothers Day
- met sudden death at street intersection He
may have been driving too fast; young people are
more reckless in this respect than their elders But
the direct of his accident was his ufamiiartv
with the traffic signals in the town through which he
was passing
Yet it can hardly be called a town II is a
two-by-four village with the national highway in
tersectng its Main Street Ten years ago it's Cham.
Der of Commerce had worked furiously to have the
highway go through the town, and with customary
hindsght the council later decided that drivers on
the highway, rather than the home folk, should be
halted by a stop sign. To make matters worse they
hung their red signal high overhead so that only
one motorist in five would it. Evidently the boy
did not Now he is dead.
.He still might be alive if in our campaigns
against automobile slaughter we had adopted uni
versal system of signals AS it is every city has an
arrangement of its own. One sets up the red lights
on the right side of the street, another puts them on
the left. and still others suspend them overhead. In
certain towns you turn both left and right on the
green. in others you may make left-hand curve
only on the amber light. It is rare occurrence in
any city to find all traffic markers clearly enough
defined to be seen at once by out-of town drivers
The stranger in our midst is not always a mind
reader. 1t Is easy for him to run past boulevard
stop line when that Inc is faded that only dim
trace can be seen In broad daylight.
Travelling from city to city and from state to
state in few hours has become commonplace
Yet We keep our traffic regulations as diversified as
our divorce laws. Married in one state you may be
single in another, but once dead CT a motor coll
lision you are dead In any state iE the Union.

JUSTICE SWIFT AND CERTAIN

THOMAS H. ROBINSON JR., who kidnapped
- Mrs stoll subdued her with an iron pipe and
collected $4,000 ransom f.lds himself behind Fed
eral prison walls at Atlanta just so hours after his
arrest. Alvin Karpis, captured by the G-men in
$ the same 11-day drive that drag melted Robinson
soon will follow, and the record so far as the big
interstate killer kidnapers go is clear 1t is record
for swift and certain justice, the kind that makes
crime so unhealthy in England. But
~ According to j. Edgar Hoover, there are still
some 10000 uncaught murderers at large in the
United States. To capture, try and convict these
unfortunately, lack effective Acknowledgement ma
chinery of the sort that has been organized under
the Lindbergh Law. Our American murder rate is
IL times greater than Englands, about seven times
greater than that of the continent of Europe.
In lieu of efficient systems to apprehend and
smooth working courts to try. the states capture
few killers and punish them with DEATH while let
ting the many slip through their fingers. Instead
of swift and certain justice for all there is savage
revenge for few, slow and random justice for
the rest.
Punishment deters only If it strikes with sure
ness. Instead of sending few murderers to their
deaths in electric chairs, gallows chambers and gas
houses the states and cities should moderate their
police systems divorce their courts from politics and
make their acknowledgements agencies honest, i'm
personal and just Capital punishment is cruel and
futile substitute for such reforms.

WE CONGRATULATE

THE Times congratulates the City Park Board and
= Park Superintendent Charles A. Sallee for the
decision to provide equipped and supervised play
ground for West Side children this summer without
waiting for legal formaties to make the new West
Side park site available.
1t means that about $500 children, who have no
place to play safely, will have complete playground
facilities in Little Eagle Park The larger park de-
velopment project may not get under way until late
this summer.
Speaking Of the nation wide need for recreation
centers, Hugh Mex Landon sponsor here for the
National Recreation Association and member of its
board of directors, yesterday wrote Indianapolis
members of the association: There is abundant evil
dence that Fairgrounds and recreation centers reduce
the amount of Juvenile crime" He estimated that
100000 children Fairgrounds regularly.
but that 100000 children in cities are still with
out places for safe play
The Park Boards action is another step in re-
moving indianapolis children from the latter list.

chise in the primary for fear Of political boycott and
members Of firms have been known to divide their
primary ballots among the parties for business rea-
sons. Such practice does not make for good citi-
zenship
Perhaps no professional group or class is or
should be more politically independent than teach
ers. yet primary records eye carefully scanned by
strictly partisan-minded leaders and pressure
brought to bear upon school authorities especially
when there is a change in control. AS result,
many teachers avoid voting in the primaries and
other are afraid to vote as they think.
"The answer is single primary ballot The law
requiring nearly two hundred signatures to each
candidates application for entry on the ballot has
greatly reduced the number of candidates, making
the possibility of single ballot practical. Voters
can be instructed that they shall vote for nominees
for one party only, but in case should it be neces-
sary for voters to commit themselves"

DENTAL HEALTH

MYTH the Indiana State Dental Association
w holding its seventy ninth annual meeting here
today it is interesting to note the progress of the
statewide program for improvement in the dental
health of children.
Financed by the Good Teeth Council for Chill
dren, Inc, and aided by the dental association,
school authorities, the State Board of Health and
other groups the program during three years has
been presented to approximately $4,000 persons,
mostly children.
The program emphasizes right foods, chewing
exercise for development of the Jaws and as an
aid to digestion, home of the teeth and regu-
lar visits to dentist.
Trustees of the association this week pledged
cooperation of the dental profession in the program
OF dental public health to be carried out by the

SINGLE PRIMARY BALLOT

VX7RITING in the Indiana Teacher for May, A.
w w. Clark of Hammond gives interesting
discussion Of problem that merits study in con-
nectcn with efforts to improve the primary cleo
ton system. He says:
"In form OF government we recognize the
necessity of party loyalty and partisan minded
leaders The last two presidential elections have
proved, however that there are millions of voters
who are more or less independent in their thinking
and voting. In 1928 Mr.. Hoover carried all the
states but four and there was considerable talk of
the demise Of the Democratic Party Only four
years later Mr.. Roosevelt carried all of the states
but two. while one Nidwesteyn state which selected
Democratic presidential electors at the same time
elected Republican Governor.
I'VE naturally conclude that millions of voters
throughout the country are independent, as they
should be, but many of them are not voting In thu

Watch Your Health

in later years. Mentally backward
children, who suffer from lack of de.
velopment of the tissues and organs
will not respond promptly to exer-
else.
Parents often are proud of the
baby and like to show his accom-
plishments. This leads to forcing
the child before he is really ready to
carry on a certain activity. 1t also
leads to repetition of such. activity
for long periods of time, which re-
suits in fatigue and exhaustion.
Babies are much more easily ex-
cited than are grownups, and they
respond more fully. Thus, a baby
will be greatly excited by a large
variety of toys, by long automo-
bile ride or by great excitement in
the people around him. Any. excite
ment which brings about fatigue or
exhaustion is bad for him.
ID EMEMBER, also, that the eyes
N OF the baby are delicate and
must be protected against accident
and against direct sunlight, when
the child is outdoors.
In exercising the baby, remem-
Der that he is not to sit up until the
muscles of the spine and neck are
strong enough. When the child is
able to bring his head up with the
rest of the body, the mother may
help him gradually to sit up. A good
exercise is to permit the child's legs
to bend and straighten against
slight counter pressure by the
mother. AS soon as the baby is
able TO sit up, he may begin new
exercises, including bending and
reaching for objects above his
head.
When the baby's muscles are able
to bear the weight of his body, he
will begin to crawl In that stage, he
should be protected suitably by a
pen, or in some other manner
against being burned accidentally
and against falling down stairs.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETz

nETROIT. Mich, May 49,
~ Will the automobile of the
future run on gasoline, alcohol, a
mixture of the two, or on some new
synthetic compound, the general
nature of which is only dirnly fore
seen by the chemists of today?
That is the problem in the minds
of industrialists, engineers and
scientists in all parts of the coun-
try.
AT the moment, the problem can
not be answered, but the shape Of
the lines of conflicting thought upon
the question can be drawn from the
battle which ragged here during the
sessions of the Second Dearborn
Conference of Agriculture, Industry
and Science, held under the auspi-
ces of the Farm Chemurgic Council
and the Chemical Foundation.
Francis ?. Caravan, president Of
the Chemical Foundation, and Fred
A. Eldean, assistant to the president
of the American Petroleum Irlsti-
tute, led the opposing forces.
First point of disagreement was
the life of the nations petroleum
reserves. Garvan assigned the
known reserves life of IL years.
Eldean gave them a life Of Is years.
Garvan insisted that no one had any
right to predicate national policy
upon the Suppositicn that reserves
now unknown, would be found in
the future.
Second point Of disagreement was
the efficiency of a blend of gasoline
and alcohol as a fuel for motors.
Mr.. Caravan advocated 10 per
cent blend of alcohol for use in this
country. Mr.. Eldean seemed un-
willing to accept the evidence.
The third point OF disagreement
was over the economies Of the stu
alton.

DABIES need exercise exactly as
ID do adults, but of a different
kind. When small baby lies on
his back and kicks, he is really hav-
ing strenuous exercise. Time
should be allowed every day for this
activity.
Part of the time the baby should
lie en- his stomach and be permit
ted to lift his head or push him
self up from the bed.
Exactly as with grownups, a
certain amount of exercise is a
stimulus to hunger and appetite in
the baby, and also creates enough
fatigue to make him want to rest.
Children who are fabby in the
construction of their bodies need
more exercise than do those who are
solidly constructed. They should
also have a physical examination,
however, to indicate whether they
are free from ricketts, or malnutri-
ton.
Violent exercise should never be
permitted Immediately after eating.
In warm or pleasant Weatner, a
half hour of exercise outdoors is
exceedingly beneficial.
Exercise. of course, is an excel
lent method of training. Children
learn by practice. When boy first
gets on a bicycle, he promptly falls
off. With little practice, he learns
how to balance himself, co-ordinat-
ing his muscles in such manner
that balance is maintained and he
is able to go forward.

the feeling of satisfaction that
comes from accomplishment. If the

to the child, he is more likely to
repeat the performance.

THINKS BUSINESS SHOULD BE
AID TO F. D. r.
BY ]. r. W,
At time when big business and
the Roosevelt Administration sharp
ly disagree on many issues, it is sig
nidcant that the President has
called in industrial leaders for ad-
vice.
These Titans of finance, so to
speak, are supposed to aid the chief
executive in formulating plans to
speed up certain industries, such as
railroading and housing.
This is as it should be. The I'M
employment problem is far beyond
politics. Either millions must be
fed on government doles, or indus
try must absorb them. There is no
alternative. Therefore, it is i'm
portant that big business, regardless
of what it thinks, should take a
hand in Washington.
What big business says to Mr..
Roosevelt and how it votes next No
vember are two entirely different
considerations.
