Kropf, supreme re gent of the Rojyal Arcanum, who ritad figures compiled by one of the great railway systems in an ad dress on safety here. “Grade crossings annually exact a ghastly toll of motorists, yet on ly a small dart of the total num ber using the crossings are care less or reckless,”, said Mr. Kropf, who as head of the safety move ln#nt °f the Royal Arcanum is preaching caution to the members of the 1800 councils of that order In the United States and Canada. Careful checking of selected crossings during June, July and August of last year, When traffic is always heaviest, found only 3 per cent of all the motorists under ob servation obviously careless or j; reckless. I: “In thirteen states, the careless 15 3 percent numbered 7,566 car drlv- i ers who by their failure to obey ; signals or slow down, not only : jeopardized their own lives, but : the. lives of all the occupants of " their cars. Speeding over cross ings was the chief fault found by the inspectors. Railroad compan ies have done their part In pro- 1 viding proper markings and In I: signalling the approach of trains 11 in advance. In practically every | > grade crossing fatality, it is tho j > motorist who is to blame. Most of ! t them might be avoided.” The Royal Arcanum, numbering ': 125,000 members, bns taken n de- j* finite stand in the movement to ! conserve life through the prewn- i | tion of accidents in all walks of (t life. “This is a public ns well as t a fraternal duty,” the supreme re- i s gent stated. _I8 HAREM MUST CO OR TURKEY WILL FACE SCARCITY OF WOMEN, CLAM!

Two are impos ible, he says, because they quarrel j .11 the time and the husband is ound to be unhappy, each will ask im to take her side and there will e no peace In the home. But with three wives. It is ex plained, there is harmony because he' wives keep their quarreling to hemselvea, and if one becomes too trong the other two will unite gainst her. * Again, it is asserted, the modern 'urk of education is very little nfluenced by the religion of his fore athers. Priding himself on his restern ideas and education, he is ontent to leafe his wavering belief 1 the laws of the Koran to the un itorcd masses and the pheasants.
