The latest local contribution to the record of grade-crossing disasters is peculiarly horrible in detail. A motor- {ist with two companions tried to drive lacross a railroad track ahead of a train, despite the vigorous signaling of a watchman. At the last moment, seeing that he could not beat the train, he swerved to the side, only to be caught by the locomotive with a side- long blow. The motor was smashed, the gasoline tank burst and the fluid ignited. burning the bodies of the three men beyond recognition. The en- gineer of the train, seeing the motor just before the impact, put on his brakes so suddenly that a passenger was thrown down and his back was broken. In this case there was no conceiva- ble need of haste to cross the tracks. 1t plain that there was danger ahead. A chman was waving for the motor driver to ‘halt. But he I plunged on at a rate of speed said to have been ¢ to fifty miles an hour. Death in the most ghastly form sulted, not only for the foolhardy driver but for his companion There is only one way to make cross. ings safe against such recklessness, the roads above or below the tracks. But while that will have to be done eventually, meantime the hope is that road users will be reasonably careful. I“'all‘hmun cannot stop the frantically speeding drivers. Bells will.not check them. Signs will not be heeded by them.

There has been a marked improvement, but there is still room for more. It might not be a bad idea for those who control the large passenger busses and heavy trucks to realize that the owner of a small car has just as much right on the street as they have, and along those lines it is ear- nestly hoped that the hackers who circle around Pennsylvania avenue, 15th street, F street and down 14th street will realize that all automo- biles cannot proceed along the high- ways at as slow a speed as they do,| and while all of us want to see every one make an honest living, vet there are times when one feels that the po- lice should take this matter up and see that the rights of all automobil- ists are protected.

And because of the philanthropic ef- forts of the medical journal the Hart- ford Courant rejoices that “at last the man who works with his brains instead of with his hands may come linto his own, or, more accurately, his own may come into him, for medical science has reached the point where 1 show of hands indicates that the brain worker will be permitted to have actual food for breakfast” a happy state which the paper observes in passing “has not occurred before in forty vear. The idea of these physicians, as the Waterbury Republican explains it. seems to be that the brain worker needs to coal up well in the morn- ing,” for, the Cleveland Plain Dealer agrees, “in the morning the human stomach is empty. The human engine needs fuel to begin its operations. At no other hour of the twenty-four is the human system so in need of stok- ingl” While admittedly “the man who starts the day with a handful of sawdust and a dish of prunes is not open to argument,” there is some consolation in knowing that he can no longer look with “contempt on his brothers who eat a man-size break- fast, even though it may include a sirloin_or a slab of huckleberry pie.” Once more “American good sense has triumphed over the ‘“wave of effete continentalism,” which has been menacing that good American institution, the honest-to-goodness ‘oreakfast, and the reason, as the Brooklyn Eagle sees it, is that “we Americans are not going to dawdle through a forenoon. We're going to work with steam-engine energy. An empty stomach rarely does much hustling in a world of economic equivalents. Unfortunately, however, it i# again demonstrated that there are people in this country who never approve of anything, and we find that those doctors—that crabbed 13 per cent— who declared that the way to start the day wrong is to eat, have their counterpart in the editors who raise objections to a return to the Amer- ican breakfast. “It is not so much lack of size as something else that is the matter with the American breakfast,” asserts the New York Tribune; rather it is the fact that it must be had “on the eat-and-run principle.” At least this is true so far as New Yorkers are concerned, the New York Globe agrees, and while & heavy breakfast “may be an excellent idea for mormal America,” it won't work in the cities. “The light breakfast” the Globe says, “has been the New Yorker's _lifeline.

FORMAL FALL OPENING 2 opened our doors this morning on the most beautiful and complete display of fall styles that we have been able to boast for many seasons. Dresses, coats, suits, millinery and foot- wear have been interpreted in such entirely new ways that the showing is of more than usual interest to.the woman who wishes to plan her fall wardrobe early. Preeminent in our Fall Opening Street and Afternoon Frocks $25.00 PPEALING not alone through its modest pricing, this group is truly representative of the originality of the new mode. Poiret twill, tricotine, Jersey and many of the new silk weaves are in- cluded. Canton crepe and crepe de chine are important, with satin canton, roshanara, spiral crepe and the new brocaded and mata- lasse effects offering many charming variations. There is a tendency toward the fuller as well as the longer skirt. Sometimes the fullness is achieved by gathers at the low waist- line, sometimes by a great circular sweep with an uneven lower edge, and again by clever and artistic drapes. Black and the new browns are equally popular, with plenty of navy blues and some whose brilliant trimmings give them a gayer air. Smart Mill $10.00 GREAT brims that droop or flare at any point they choose, small brims that timidly roll and lose themselves under a novel trimming, and’many chic little affairs that choose no brim at all, for, fear it might obscure a jaunty feather, a clever knot of rib- bon or some striking self-trim. These hats are of Panne velvet, Lyons velvet, duvetyn, silk and felt, in such bright colors as sapphire blue, canna red, fuchsia or amber, besides all the new autumnal browns, with a host of blacks still in favor. This showing is remarkably low priced at $10. Many other models ranging in price from $5.00 to $85.00. inery ~=Second Floer. ~—Second Floer.
