an answer. II the British treasury

goods there isn't any depression. The
only sound money is used money,
according to Mr.. Eccles. In de-
preston, when no one else would
spend. it was the business of the Gov

by Offering them Government securi-

which purchasing power in turr. would

Of this is kept as undivided earnings,

Heated Differences.
This Is a modest preface to saying a
few diffident words about the Presi-
dents proposed tax on surplus earn
ings Of corporations, now under con-
sideration by Congress. About this tax
there are the most heated differences

speaks for most OF our corporation
directors, and for once, and just to
show how complicated this money
business Is, Raymond Moley agrees
with him. Mr.. Cameron apparently
believes that the money economy in
which we live is essentially the same
as was Pharoah's economy in the days
Of that most famous of all brain
trusters: Joseph. Joseph, you remem-
Der. was the bright boy who, being the

he was such know-it-all, and terribly
good looking besides-got into Egypt
without passport and worked himself
up to be financial adviser to His
Majesty. Joseph invented way OF
gyping the business cycle. He didn't
get his idea by honest hard work,
either. but by inspiration, revealed to
him In q dream. Joseph's idea was
the cushion-ag inst-depression plan.
Egypt had seven years of fine harvest
and Joseph didn't let the people eat it
all up, but he put it into surplus
earnings-reserves, and kept it in stor-
age. Then came seven years of famine.
and he handed 1t out, and saved the
people, and even turned the other
cheek handsomely toward the brothers
who had done him wrong. The only
difference between this plan and Mr.
Cameron's was that Joseph Cbeing a
brain truster) didn't leave the grain
in the hands Of the owners, but ma
tionalized it.

R. R. Urges Caution
 At Grade Crossings
New Haven Officials Cite Dangerous Hazard-Acci
 dents 'Can Be Avoided' By Observing Warnings

With the touring season begin- ming and with more automobiles on the highways than there have been at any time since late last summer, the New Haven Railroad today is- sued an appeal to motorists to ex- ercise caution in approaching and traversing grade crossings in order to avoid accidents.
 This appeal to Connecticut motor ists upon the publication earlier this year of statement by the Safety Section of the Association of Amer ican Railroads that despite the ef- forts of the railroads and various safety organizations, to impress upon the public the necessity for exercising greater precaution in passing over highway-raiIroad grade crossings, more persons lost their lives in 1885 in accidents ct grade crossings than in any year since 193l." This situation did not prevail in Connecticut in 1895 or upon any part of the New Haven Railroad system, but 1t serves to show the potential danger of train-aito crashes when ordinary caution is not exercised.
 AvOldabIe Accidents
 If drivers would use the same amount of precaution in passing a railroad grade crossing that they should and usually do bring into play in crossing an ordinary street intersection, there would be no such thing as train-auto sTnash-ups, rail officials declare. There are less than 130 rail crossings at grade on the Connecticut trunk line and state aid systems of highways, and every one of them is protected by fiash- ing red signal lamps which are flashed of and on continuously when Q train Is within approxi- mately half a mile of the crossing. When these red signals are flashing, motorists should stop and make no attempt to proceed over the rails. Every crossing, whether on the main system of highways or not, is definitely marked with warning signs. Tn addition, locomotive en- gineers are required to sound their whistles for 8 prolonged period and to repeat until the grade crossing is reached, so that ample warning of a trains approach is given.
 Reckless Abandon

 JUDGES VERDICT

Tn a decision handed down yes- terday afternoon, Judge Edward J. Finn of the court of common pleas finds for the defendant in the $l0,OO0 suit of Antonio Ventresca against Romeo Minicucci. The ease was tried last week.
 Ventresca sued to recover for in- juries sustained Sept B, 1883, when he was struck by Minicuccis car at Walnut and Ward streets.
 Judge Finn states that the plain- tiff failed to prove negligence on the part of the defendant, and says that Ventresca was apparently not on the cross-walk at the time of the accident.
