Everpome will be eager to endorse the policy whish has been announced by the feseral bureau which has charge of pub- lle road bullding to the effect that It Macds for the elimination of the grade Orossings when new roads are being Sulit. There s mo question but that is the time when attertion should be given % wuoh work. It is at such times that the changes can best be made and cer- tatnly it is the time when the necessary ARerntions of grade ought to he made. ¢ means not only greater safety but the smving of money In the end. That the bureau finds a strengthening # gentiment among state highway offi- dals against the retention of tho grade Somsings s not surprising, any more that raiload authorities ®heuld be desirous of ecliminating the @oger spots. No one is in the business @ WmiMing reads or operating raflroads WHA the idea of estabiishing menaocss for ‘Wkh the building of new roads, quite a8 when new trolley lines, rail- or wirs lines for that matter eenetrocted the effert I3 to inced de- | all factions| - | oont shorten the distance as much as pos- sible, to eliminate bad curves and grades and to make for safety on the respec- tive lines as well as for such lines that happen to intersect. There are many times when the Te- moval of a grade crossing is no more aMficult than eliminating a bad curve or reducing ‘a sharp grade, and it is certain that when crossings are done away with the accidents which now ocour at such places will be avoided. Thus public safe- ty Is another reason for the carrying out of such a policy. Through the improved roads and the efforts of states.and rail- roads there should be a constant whit- tling down of the danger spots. It will be a long time before they will be a rar- 1ty but in the meantime real effective means for preventing accidents and fa- talities can be taken by the display of prover respect for the danger that exists and exercising care. Combined efforts n behalf of crossing elimination and In self protection by the users will bring about a quicker redvction of deaths at such points than depending entirely up- on the removal activities. CURBING THE DRUG EVIL. Once’ again Massachusetts is coming to the front in béhalf of greater uniformr ity in legisiation between states. It is an end which has been sought in vari- ways for many years. Repeated are | the instances where it has been consid- ered wise for one state to enact more re-| strictive legislation in order to improve ous conditions within its own boundaries only to find after such iaws have been placed upon its ute books that they @re more or less nullified by the lawg of neighboring states which undertake no such or lesser restrictions. It is re- alized that each and every state has a ht to make its own laws, but-it is shown in practice that there is certain respon v of one state to another which cannot be totally disre- garded, and there are plenty of cases where it Tequires no extensive argu- ment to show the benefits and need of uniformity, At the present time the governor of n brought to rec- part which less restrictive other states play in lessening the ess of the Massachusetts laws oncerning the use of narcotl The! in his message refers to the increase in the use of such d refers to the steps that were v the state four years ago In es- 1 requirements upon the of a commission that inquiry into the sitha- in vogue 1 made careful He b plan would prove tind which | e that for unmi in securing| sed upon and cer- ing with o not | used rctment of a law s Massachusetts example, ly when it coi to de QUICK TO ACCEPT. it was declded at Canmes to in- lussia among other nations to par- the international conference rch in Genoa it was to be would be glad to fulfills expectations ounces that he unco t Rus: will personally means | rantees conne e asree gua required th the invit what does iss amount lized that there is a part which j ws and trade ignorad. ith the so- ave, howe: was undergoing | Efforts to bring about jon of trade with Russia and| government rec- hers have been persistent. imeement between Great Russfa was securaq t agreement guaran- acted of Russia-and readfly | were mot respected ithorities maintained that ises the sending of meant giving ges simply » new leht will be thrown n the Genoa gatheri first fnternational gather- sia and Germany since E the allled nations are | secing the nossible” benefits from it Te- | ntne 4 it overlooking his opportunit {0 do what he can for soviet Russia. how much faith will be placed In ht to be seen.

S. government. President Wilson did not continue the time homored cus- tom of recelving at New Year's, or in- deed at any other time except by strict- 1y enforced invitation lists, so the re- sumption of a big day-light reception by the president of the United Stateg re- vived the old time enthusiasm of mak- ing New Year's calls, and members of the cabinet, and others in high official life also opened their homes to callers during the afternoon of the holiday. One of the most novel sights of the reception was the Chinese councellor for the Chinese armament delegation, Mr. Chow, and his very interesting family. Mr. Chow wore a conventional black frock coat sult, but Mrs. Chow and his daughters, who are still in their early teens, were noticeable by their combin- ation of Chinese and American fashions. One was forceably reminded of Kipling’s “The East is East and West is West, and never the Twain can meet” Mrs. Chow wore a zown of gorgeous Chinese made in semi-American fashion, that is it consisted of a stra narrow skirt and short, plain blouse effect somewhat elaborately trimmed; the two young girls likewise wore dress- es of beautiful Chinese silk made C fon, but with this they wore hizh-heeled slippers and their - halr was bobhed and stood out Is a bushey mass around thefr little brown faces, instead of following the Chinese custom of be- ing fairly plastered down in a decorous middle-path fashion. Some one sald-the lttle girls were very anxious to become Americanized durine their brief - visit here and that the bobbed halr and heels were the conecessions made to them with a somewhat unique reseult. As for the ambassi\or from China, and members of his staff, you couldn’t have stuck a pin into them without hit- ting a mass of 2old bullon, rare jeweled insiznta, brilliant stars, and crosses or broad sashes of brilliant eolors, each and all denoting some spectal order or honor conferred hy the Chinese natlon. Taken all in all White House re- fon, whicsh lasted from 11 a. m. to 5 p. m. was altogether the most zor- weous and mnotable affair of the sea-| son, mot excevtine the diplomatic recen- tons already the visiting arma- ment conference delemation. ike the =iven The general eninien conference has accomp k for which It was kere s that the shed already the alled.

To secure the funds congress must pass another bill after it hag been approved by the director of the budget and the president and has been submit- ted to the committes on appropriations. All this must be done before any mon- ey is available. Congress can appropri- ate the sum as named in the bill or it the amount.

Usually a heavy black pall is thrown over the chalir of a senator when his death occurs, and remalng there till after the burial ser- vice has been performed. This time no pall was used but instead, a broad black ribbon was placed across the desk of the Iate Pennsyivania senator. Flags on the capitol and Its adjacent bulldings flew at half mast during the customary prescribed time, but atherwise the death o Senator Penroze was unobserved by formal ceremonies at the capitol, thus carrying out his wishes.
