WlGu laughter LUZ OOIu.
It seems that they reserved
rooms at the hotel, by telegram
and signed the names Siri and
Mariana Zuberbuhler, and for
some reason (or so goes the
story), the hotel staff must have
thought the name Mariana was
feminine, so when the two men
arrived they found that not only
had a suite of rooms been re-
served as requested, but because
of the crowded space the hotel
had thoughtfully provided the
gorgeous bridal suite. Well, after
the laughter and subsequent ex-
plantations on both sides had
been done away with, both Siri
and Mariana decided that the
suite was so entirely delightful
and comfortable that they would
just keep it. They did!

At the very height of the graft
trials in San Francisco, John,

Heney paled as he recognized

MANY OTHERWISE sane citizens
become thoughtless fools when they
get behind the wheel of an automo-
bile. This paradox cost 38,50O lives
in auto accidents last year. In the
same period 1O,3O0,0OO were injured,
of which number 100000 were more
or less permanently disabled.
Such a staggering slaughter of
human life could not be much worse
if the country were i'm a state of
constant revolution. How can it be
curbed? According 10 the Portland
Oregonian there is no answer to the
problem except in more ruthless
law enforcement. and that cannot be
achieved this side of public indig-
nation" Thirty-eight thousand five
hundred lives sacrificed on the altar
of recklessness would seem to be
sufficient cause for public indigna-
tion.
Safe driving campaigns, designed
to appeal to the common sense of
the individual, have apparently been
of little benefit. Speeding, drunken
driving, gross negligence in ap-
preaching crossings. and weaving in
and out of traffic, are increasing
every day. The only ones who have
been thoroughly cured are the vic
tins. and bitter experience cured
them. Lying mangled in hospitals,
perhaps clinging to this earth by a
mere thread, they have come to real
ize how precious life Is. But the
dead will never have another chance.
In that split second before Oblivion

Milford, Friday, February 20, 1887

WE ALL TAKE AIR, light ant
water for granted. The better they
are, the less we think about then
or appreciate them. II is only when
the supply of these necessities is
poor and inferior that we kick.
The same situation exists in con-
nection with the essential part played
by the railroads, both locally and
nationally, in mobilizing and making
effective relief efforts in connection
with the Ohio and Mississippi valley
floods. We just take railroad SER
vice for granted. and the better the
railroads do their job. the less We
say about them.
The railroads on both sides of the
Ohio river have operated their trains
just as close to the food lines as a
train could be taken: have set up
emergency terminal facilities wher-
ever possible; have maintained local
shuttle service, at heavy expense, in
those cases where through service
was cut off; have brought in the
great bulk of all the supplies of
food. fuel and equipment which have
gone into the fiood-stricken area;
have taken out great numbers of
refugees; and. in general, made pos
sible the work of relief and rescue.
without the public even knowing
about it. the railroads mobilized car
supplies to take care of not only the
people, the livestock and the relief
needs of threatened areas. but also
the commerce. Coal mines have been
kept in operation by reason of the
ability of the railroads to divert and
marshal coal cars wherever needed.
Thousands of extra box cars were
mobilized with the idea that if evacu-
alton of the lower Mississippi val
ley should become necessary OH any
large scale, the car supply would be
available to bring out not only the
people and livestock, but their cot
ton, manufactured goods, stocks in
trade, and the materials necessary
TO enable them to resume business
when the waters receded. All of
this was done quietly and without
fuss. as part of the organized service |
o. the American railroads. Much of /
it was done without cost to relief |
authorities or to refugees.
Railroads in the flood emergency.
as in their everyday service. are
pretty much taken for granted in
the United States. When railroad
took into Louisville in one night 35
of coal and trainloads of
food and other supplies. that wasn't
news. That's what the railroads
were supposed to do. When an air. ;
plane unlOaded crate of bread at !
the airport one would think that the
miracle of the loaves and the fishes ..
was about to he repeated
After all. taking the railroads for (
granted, like light, air and water. q
IS probably the highest tribute to !
hem. but. nevertheless, they are Or r
run by human beings to
whom word of gratitude and appre-
,iation is not amiss when it is so !
Justly deserved. Just being taken :
or granted becomes rather stale for
he best of us.
