A Central Railroad of New Jersey express train ran into a motor truck on a grade crossing recently and killed four persons and injured thirty. This is but a sample of the kind of gruesome news all too often received. There will be the same deadly monotony so long as there remain crossings at grade. This country becomes greatly exercised over war and its carnage. And rightly so. But here is carnage, persisting, which passes unnoticed. There should be public sentiment as strongly against maintenance of deadly grade crossings as there is against war. The people should move—and that resolutely—for the abolishment of this menace to life and limb. California, in particular, well may take the lead of all the lly reasonable one at hat. If every newly married couple could tematic procedure to bring about the elimination of each and every grade crossing in the state, as rapidly as this practicably may be done. It will mean heavy cost, of course. But it will be money well spent. The people should insist upon businesslike administeration of government everywhere—at Washington, at the state capital, at the county seat, at the city hall. there is against war.

HOME OWNERSHIP DIVORCE CURE A Los Angeles judge, who bears thousands of divorce cases and who tries to reconcile couples who are seeking divorce, says the first question he asks them is, "Do you own your own home?" He finds that marital differences are more rate among those who live on a piece of land or lot of their own. The home tie is binding even though the house is no larger than a dry goods box. This is a new slant on the divorce problem, but a perfect states in grappling with this hazard. There should be no move into their own home they would have more in common and there would be less likelihood of differences developing. All candidates and all parties should stick to the real issues in the national campaign. There should be no obscuring of the judgment of the voter by dragging in extraneous matter. CHEAP, TRAVEL' The automobile and the auto camp have made it possible for people to see the country who otherwise would never get a hundred miles from home. The average family can pile into the fliver and go back and forth across the continent/enjoying the marvels that nature has so lavishly spread for our wonder and delight at not much greater expense than the cost of remaining at home. The cost of clothing is less than it would be at home, for a khaki suit, heavy shoes and sweater for each member of the family is about all that is required. There are no hotel bills, no tips, no taxi fares. Accommodations in most auto camps are so inexpensive as to be practically free, and the cost of food would be about the same as at home, although life in the open does stimulate the appetite. Those who cannot afford to travel any other way, and who turn down this method of seeing the country and broadening themselves on account of the slight discomforts and inconveniences that might be encountered, are cheating themselves. Travel is always educative, and one can learn as easily and meet as varied types of human nature in a fliver-and an auto camp as in a luxurious limousine, a Pullman car or a hotel.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHANGES HAVE MADE LEGE EDUCATION NEED SARY, SAVANT SAY. An answer to the quarrel "Why go to college," was by William Mather Lewis, dept of George Washington university, in a recent interview. "It is one of the glories of college system that no youth really wishes a college education is deprived of it because of critical limitations," he pointed. "Provisions are made, particularly in our urban universities, all educational advantages placed at service of those have to earn a living and only spend a short time each in the class room; special tion is also given to courses will aid those in the profession and in business, enterprise keep up with the development their various fields. "No institution has responded quickly to the needs of the spirit of the times that the American college, where the academic halls were with those who delved in all lore. Today, while fortune there is still this class of students, they touch elbows the engineer and the economist and the specialist in business administration, with those who interested in development many fields of human endeavor." Why go to college? Brief answer is this: "In order that I may live to my possibilities, in order I may play my full part in game of life and enjoy with derstanding mind the broad terrains of the world and our time in which I live." Dr. Lewis pointed out that increased desire for education explained by the tremen changes which have taken in the economic and social life our nation.

Then one said: "Does yo' see dat house ober dar on de hcrizon?" "Yes." "Can yo' see dat fly walkin' around on de roof?" "No, niggah, but I kill hear de shingles crack wh'n he step on dem." Probably on one has ever called John Milton a wit, yet the great poet could on occasion make a stinging retort, as an old letter, recently discovered, shows. Charles II desired to meet Milton, then blind, and when he did he remarked bitterly: "God hath punished you for your malice toward my father by taking away your eyesight." "Aye," said Milton, "but before I lost my eyes he lost his head." Four men were playing bridge, and the one who was "dummy" looked grimly at his partner, who had played the hand and broken every known rule of the game. "How long have you been playing bridge?" he asked. "Oh, about five years," replied the other. "Really," said the first, scathingly. "I had no idea it was possible to acquire such appalling ignorance of the game in so short a time." A street preacher in a Scottish town called a passing policeman and complained of being annoyed by a certain portion of his audience. He asked to have the objectionable persons removed.

"Well, wasn't it by the merest accident that I escaped injury?" returned the claimant.

FOAMS THAT LIVE THE TOIL OF THE TRAIL What have I gained by the toll of the trail? I know and know well. I have found once again the love I had lost. In the loud city's hell. I have broadened my hand to the elch and the axe. I have laid my flesh to the rain; I was hunter and trailler and guide; I have touched the most primitive wilderness again. I have threaded the wild with the stealth of the deer. No eagle is freer than I; No mountain can thwart me, no torrent appall, I defy the storm sky. So long as I live these joys will remain, I have touched the most primitive wilderness again. Horlick's ORIGINAL SAFE MILK For Infants, Insulids, Children.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying INDIAN RAINMAKING—Visalia Times Down in Arizona the Hopi Indians recently concluded their dance, the final ceremony of the seven-day appeal to the tribal gods. Californians have no right to sneer at what may seem to be ignorant superstition. Supervisors of several counties, during the past season, have expended good money in hiring a professional rainmaker to erect imposing towers and carry on chemical incanations for the purpose of calling down rain. They might better—and more cheaply—have hired a half-dozen Hopi snake men. The Hopi method is more picturesque than ours and just as effective. THE RULING POWER OF MANNERS Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image, Goethe observed (in Die Wahlverwandtschaften). The power of manners is incessant—an element as unconcealable as fire. As Emerson said, the Nobility cannot in any country be disguised, and no more in republic or a democracy than in a kingdom. No man can resist their influence. “There are certain manners which are learned in good society,” wrote Emerson, “of that force that if a person have them, he or she must be considered and is everywhere welcome, though without beauty, wealth or genius.” “Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he goes.” He has not the trouble of earning or owning them; they solicit him to enter and possess. “We send girls of a timid, retreating disposition to the boarding school, to the ball-room, or wheresoever they can come into acquaintance and nearness of leading persons of their own sex; where they may learn address, and see it near at hand. The power of a woman of fashion to lead and also to daunt and repel, derives from their belief that she knows resources and behaviors not known to them; but when these have mastered her secret they learn to confront her, and recover their self-possession.” "Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he goes. He has not the trouble of earning or owning them; they solicit him to enter and possess. "We send girls of a timid, retreating disposition to the boarding school, to the ball-room, or wheresoever they can come into acquaintance and nearness of leading persons of their own sex; where they may learn address, and see it near at hand. The power of a woman of fashion to lead and also to daunt and repel, derives from their belief that she knows resources and behaviors not known to them; but when these have mastered her secret they learn to confront her, and recover their self-possession. Every day bears witness to manners' gentle rule. People who would obtrude, now do not obtrude. The mediocre circle learns to demand that which belongs to a high state of nature or of culture. Your manners are always under examination, and by committees little suspected, a police in citizens' clothes, who are awarding or denying you very high prizes when you least think of it. We talk much of utilities, but 'tis our manners that associate us. In hours of business we go to him who knows, or has or does this or that which we want, and we do not let our taste or feeling stand in the way. But this activity over, we return to the indolent state, and wish for those we can be at ease with; those who will go where we go, whose manners do not offend us, whose social tone chimes with ours. When we reflect on their persuasive and cheering force; how they recommend, prepare and draw people together; how in all clubs, manners make the members; how manners make fortune of the ambitious youth; that, for the most part, his manners marry him, and, for the most part he marries manners; when we think what keys they are, and to what secrets; what high lessons and inspiring tokens of character they convey, and what divination is required of us for the reading of this fine telegraph—we see what range the subject has, and what relations to convenience, power and beauty."
