Every person of sane mind knows that it is almost suicidal to act about the same there as in other places. For many years those long stretches of iron rails have been used by engines and trains. Only at intervals are the crossings occupied by trains. When so occu pied, the highway traveler must keep back out of the way if he desires to keep alive. The man at the throttle of th^ lo comotive is charged with the duty of getting his train through safely and promptly. Every day, .thousands of travelers are eager to get through on time and if the engineer meets their expectations, he must roll off the miles on schedule time. No stops at cross ings. In the course of his trip that engi neer sees a lot of things that worry him. He notices that some drivers of motor cars come pell-mell up to the crossing, acting as if they intended to make a dash across ahead of his train. Some of them make a sudden stop just before they reach the tracks, while others speed across, risking their lives just for the sake of gratifying a desire foi* one more thrill. He notices some drivers whose thoughts seem to be centered upon far off things. They appear not to listen, and it is a sure thing that they do not look both ways for trains. On a fair ray, the country looks very agreeable to the men on the engine, who wonder that with life presenting so pleasing an aspect, so many automobile, drivers seem willing to risk losing their shaVe of it. It is no wonder that the engineer says to his fireman: "Why in the name of all that's good and glorious can't these autoists use horse-sense?" This engineer has heard that five thousand people riding in automobiles were either killed or injured driving across railroad tracks last year. "No wonder the casualty list is a big one!" he exclaims," And that fellow who just beat his way across came mighty close to getting his name onto the 1922 list!" O EFFICIENT TREATMENT "Do you guarantee results in your nerve treatment?" asked the callhr. "You bet I do," replied the Spec ialist. Why, last week a man came to me for nerve treatment and when I got th'eugh with him he tried to borrofr $600 from me." * ' v , f t* .
