ip.uivd at grade crossings, an
increase of M fatalities and It'.")
in jnes in comparison with tlie
sa::.e perioil of the previous year.
Similar increases are reported in
other quarters.

There is »n!v i t.e slfest W::\

wa-'s >r viauiicts. I here has
'• n agitation *' >r legislation in a
r. .nv er of states to rt i :ire ai!
u--: - s of the highways to stop
be: re crossing a track. A tew
states :.ave enacted such la.vs.
1 appiicatinii o! such a
law c nering all of the railroad
cr ssintx« in any state leads to
absurdities and unnecessary in
convenience. For exam lie, one
of tiie principal state highways
leading west out of Raleigh, N.
where such a law is in force,
crosses a I'ranch line of a railroad
running into the state fair
grounds. This switch track is
used for only a few da>s each
year at the time of the state fair,
but under the law all the traffic
over one of the principal high
was sin the state must stop at
this crossing ::(>"> days in the year j
Such laws should be regarded
as temporary expedients only.
Hundreds of branch line railroads
carry onlv a small percentage of
the passenger traffic now carried
by the main line highway which
they cross. If either traffic is to
be the rail traffic. Right of way
is given the most important traffic
on the railroads. This is a fund
amental principle of operation,
and this same principle should be
rec .gnized by the state in making
any laws with reference to stop
ping traffic at railway highway
intersections. Undoubtedly trunk
line railways should be given
right of way, and the traffic
stopped, but branch line railway
traffic lies in a different category
entirely. The highwav traffic
over important state trunk lines
should not be stopped at line rail
way crossings. Rather, the in
frequent trains should be stopped
before crossing such highways.
"The agitation for stopping
highway traffic at railway cross
ings, however, is having its ell'ect
in rapidly crystallizing public
sentiment against all grade cross
ings, and this will lead to the
only right solution of the matter,
that is, separation of the grades.
"In the Construction of Feder
al aid roads the Bureau of Public
Roads has adopted the policy of
eliminating grade- crossings
wherever practicable, if possible
t'V relocation, otherwise b> means
of an underpass or overhead
crossing and to this end an
engineering investigation is made
of every crossing and a great
ma? y ! ive ;;!i- a'i> bi-cn eliminat
ed. Costiv structures are re
quired, out tlu re- is no doubt t! at
the policy has resulted m tlie
saving of n any lives.

Young persons may well weigh a
number of pounds above the
average called for by the tables.
An excess of 10 pounds is associ- 1
ated with the most favorable
| conditions among people between 1
-0 and 25 vears old.
The public should realize these |
facts and accommodate their;
habits of diet and exercise to J
them. 1 n America we eat too much j
and too well. The oriental coolie
and the European peasant do an
enormo is amount of physical
work on a meager diet. No one
advocates a return to primitive
conditions or to lower standards
of living, but it would be well for
'us to keei> in mind the exact re
quirementsof the adult body. We
should recognize that when we
have grown up we no longe r need
food for growth, and that for the
replacement of burned up tissues
wp need only about '0 calories
| a day. This is equivalent to two
very liuht meals and hearty meal
a day. Let me illustrate with a
i menu for an entire day for an
active adult which will contain
the reijrired 2.ol)0 calories. For
, breafast he may have a small
I average,serving of cooked fruit or
an apple or an orange, a serving
lof cereal, a slice of bread or one
mullin or roil with butter, a cup
of cidl'ee with sugar and cream.
This will contain about (>''o calor
! ies. The luncheon may consist ol
a salad bread and butter, a
i choice of cot Fee, tea, or cocoa,
; with sugar and cream and a de
! sert. This will account for '>s'
calories. The important meal o:
of the day. or dinner may consisi
of a soup, an average serving o
meat, potato, two green vegeta
bles, bread and butter and a de
sert. If average portions ar
served, a total of about l.tfX) ca
lories will be included. Tnis would j
make the total for the day ai - i

"If m ire people checked their
diet to the reasonable limits of J

would be a great improvement in j
