From {his disclosure it might ap- pear that s improvement that fn- creased respect for raiiroad crossing dapgers might be as much due to the tegchings of the crossing experience of’ others as much as to any campaign of: edueation. The school of hard knocks accomplishes great things for who get through alive. Bul/ regardless of reduced fatalities and accidents at crossings it is evi- dent that there is still too much disre- speet for such danger points. This is no better disclosed than by the state- ment of the same railroad official to the effect that “in practically injured ran into strueted view of the track in both 4i- rections to enable them to observe ap- proach of train before reachuing the giving too little attention to road dan- pers, a deeire for speeding that over- comes the desire for safety or a dis- position to take chances. Certainly when crossing gates are smasked, flag- men run down and signals struck it can hardly be said that due regard is being paid to avoiding danger and protecting the lives of the auto occu- pants. The campaign of education may be helping but there is still much fer it to do. INTEREST ON THE LOANS, In connsction with the recest an- nuemcement by Floor Leader Mondell i the lower house of congress to the cffect that the estimated expenditures were too large and that a great par- ing down would have to take place, it ‘was peinted out that while we have loaned billions to Europe on which this country is paying around $460, C08000 interes; vearly i{be count.; not gofaz Lo get the Leucfit of the *n- terest payments by the Turopean por- rémers for some :.

This shows shocking moral deca- dence on the part of a plant with a noble history. For yarrow gets the botanical name “Achillea” from a tra- dition that it is the herb with which Achilles healed the wounds of his sol- diers.

Unfortumately, most of the family repords were de- stroved in a fire which practically gutteq the ancient building in the six- teenth century, but those which are still preserved at Edinburgh show that as early as 1140 and then Baron de Haga changed his title to Baron Haig. .

We can guite understand Mayor Fitz-Gerald's refusal to have his sal- ary raised without subscribing to the doctrine that the proposed increase in the pay for a mayor is exorbitant, It is not so. The aldermen should make the \increase apply to the mayor tak- ing office in 1922, - We agree, on the other hand, with James E. Wheeler of the finance board that its members should continue to serve without pay as a patriotic duty. It is an arduous task but an important one and should be assigned to men who want to serve their fellows. There is no reason to believe that a wage would improve the personnel of the dgepartment. There is a good chance that it might have the opposite effect.—New Haven Journal- Courier, STORIES OF THE WAR Saved By Russian Artillery. (By The Associated Press.)—British officers commanding troops which have since been withdrawn from the Ar- changel and Murmansk fronts were saved by Russian artillery fire from an- nibilation by Russian mutineers at Tulgau shortly before ttey left Russia. The story has fust been told by a spec- - ial correspendent who was with the British forces in North Russia. Some of the British were in a hut when they were fired upon by one of the mutineers throuzh an open door- wegy. The Russian missed and was shot down. his failure revealing plans for a general massacre.
