"A Jealous husband slipped into the

and his blood froze in his veins with
horror as he heard her say:
"'I love you so! You're my own
haby boy. Meet tme at midnight in the

heart-'
"The man rushed up and seized her
by the throat.
"'Who are you telephoning to?' he
roared la a paroysm of rage and

"'To my music dealer for the new

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS COVER RAILROADS

LAVA FALLS IN TONS IN SAN SALVADOR.
Section near the volcano where the lava overflowed in a giant pile over
a railroad route. An idea of the maelstrom that fell over San Salvador is
obtainable from this photograph, which shows the immensity of the lava
flow which was hurled in the air by the volcano.
At the time of the eruptions no lives were lost although great damage
was caused. Thousands of residents were made homeless and much suffering
was endured by the people. There was great scarcity of water and food for
a time after the earthquake. The United States government at the time of
the eruptions offered unconditional assistance to San Salvador.
CAUTION URGED
AT CROSSINGS
Many Accidents at Railroad
Grades Due to Care

STATISTES ARE 1VEN OgIT
Secretary of 8tate of New York Sug
gests Some Remedi-Reckless
Driver Should Be Jailed
Wants Universal Sign.
During the past few months every
automobilist In this state has received
a little folder urging greater caution
at grade crossings. The effort on the
part of my office is but one of several
being made by public officials and rail
road companies in the hope of lessen
Ing the number of deplorable acci
dents, not one in a hundred of which
would happen if the automobilist but
used ordinary care on approaching
some crossings, writes Francis M
Hugo, secretary of New York state,
in an exchange. The success or fail
ure of the campaign depends almost
entirely on the automobilist himself.
This year finds a third more cars in
the state, so that if the accidents do
not gain over a year ago some little
success will characterize the cam
paign. Statistics show a 100 per cent
increase in grade-crossing accidents in
which motor cars figure in the United
States during the last five years.
Accidents on Lehigh.
In 1915 automobilists figured in six
grade-crossing accidents on the Le
high Valley lines in this state. The
number increased in 1916 to nine and
14 last year, thus more than doubling
in three years.
The records of the New York Cen
tral railroad show that 12 persons
were killed and 61 Injured in 86 acci
dents to automobiles on grade cross
ings In this state last year. During
the past year a total of 125 persons
were killed and 231 injured in similar
accidents on all the railroads in this
I state. In a recent communication Mar
y cus A. Dow, general safety agent of
s, the New York Central, admits that
g up to the present time 4t is a question
ºf as to whether or not the road's special
r- campaign has been one productive of
- results.
Safety-First Campaign.
The Long Island railroad, during
the past two or three years, has con
ducted an elaborate safety-first car
paign. J. A. McRea, its manager,
sums up his observations in the fol
lowing words:
"I am convinced that automobillsts,
to whom accidents occur at grade
it crossings, are divided into three
A classes:
"First-The plain reckless irrespon
e sible, and sometimes drunken, driver.
t "Second-The automobilist who is a
e- stranger to the country through which
he Is driving.
, "Third-A very large class of driv
h ers who are permitted to operate an
automobile without the proper experi
'n once.
t Remedies Recommended.
t- "To reduce the accidents my recom
mendation would be as follows:
r "First-The reckless driver should
be put in jail; if a professional, his
1 license should be taken away.
id ."Second-The highway should be
equipped with a crossing approach

This would be a universal sign recog

on the first Sunday, load his entire
family in the car and go for a ride
through the country. He may know
how to make the car ran. but does
not know how to stop it; does not
know what to do in case he gets into
a tight corner and he is not only a
danger to himself but to everyone else
on the road. Individual drivers' li
cense should be given only after a
rigid examination which would protect
this class from themselves and the
public from them."

GET MILK FOR HUNGRY BABY
Electric Car on Indiana Traction Line
Backed Eleven Miles to Re.
live Infant.
The Highlander, a car on the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern trac
tion line, backed 11 miles into Brazil to
procure some milk that would stop the
crying of a hungry baby.
The car, which left Brazil at 5:02
o'clock, ran only as far east as the
current is supplied from the Brazil sub
station. A break in the system near
Greencastle knocked out all service
during the early hours of the night
and the car waited until about eight
I o'clock.
All persons on the car were hungry,
but did not express themselves so
