The observance of the three words of caution now rests almost en- tirely with the motorists, who are trave — eling the highways of this state:.in greater numbers than ever before. “You can keep on drumming ‘safety first’ stuff into the ears of some per- sons for the term of their natural dves,” said Secretary Hugo, “but I be- lieve that the campaigns of education are baving their effect today, and even should the number of grade crossing accidents loom uDp to as great propor- tlans as last year headway will never. theless have been made when it is re- membered that there has been a 36 per cent increase in the number of motor vehicles in this state so far this year.” In 1916 there were no less than 125 persons killed and 231 injured on grade crossing accidents in this state alone. Yet the number was greater in Ohio, where 155 were killed in the twelve months, and in Pennsylvania the toll amounted to 159.

Burma Product Mysteriously Appears In United States. St. Paul.—The Minnesota public safe- tv commission is di ing the ap- pearance of poison heans in Minnesota.

Philadelphia.—A peculiar gold coin, dated 1806 and about the size of a five dollar gold piece, h:iz Leen reveived by Receiving Teller Keifer at the sub- treasury. The gold in the coin is near- Iy red. It bears ti:e head of the God- dess of Liberty. It is not the product of any government mint and must have been coined by a private concern.
