' NEW LIFE SAVING SLOGAN
The American Railway Association hqs adopted a
.slogan that is calculated to’ save the lives of several.
hundred Americans annually, that is if the slogan is
given the attention it deserves and if the warning it
carries is heeded.
“CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY” is the slogan
and it has to do with highway-railway crossings
throughout the country.
On class one railways in the United States there
are over 251,500 surface highway crossings. To elimi
nate all of these in the immediate future is not to be
hoped for. They are being removed at the rate of
about 450 per year and it is estimated that it would
entail a cost of over twelve billion dollars to eliminate
all of them. From this it can be seen that other action
rather than removal must be sought and that imme
diate remedy must be additional care, on the part of
the railroads themselves. Eighty per cent of the acci
dents yearly now have autolsts involved and with the
increased production of automobiles and the mini
mum deduction in the number of surface crossings
the public must take heed of the warning or the num
ber of fatalities will greatly increase rather than de
crease.
The Committee on the Prevention of Highway
Crossing Accidents says in Warning’the public:
“The railroads arc making every effort to see that,
all employes concerned give special attention to the
proper performance of their duties at crossings.
- “A train cannot be stopped in a few feet—an auto
mobile can. In approaching railroad crossings al
ways keep your car under perfect control.
“Won’t you do your part and thus by good example
assist in reducing the large annual, yet needless loss
of life and injury to occupants of automobiles at rail-
road-highway crossings by—
“1st—Slowing'down when approaching any rail
road highway crossings;
“2nd—By looking both ways and listening to as
certain if a train is approaching;
“3rd—By being particularly careful _ where there
are two or more tracks, because of trains in opposite
direction; . ,
"4th—By exercising good, conservative judgment
at crossings;
“6th—In caso of doubt take the safe course and
stop before reaching track,
“Thereby possibly saving your life and the Jives of
your loved ones and at the same time demonstrating to
others how to alwayt^—
“.CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY.”
COMPENSATING MIGRATIONS
B. C. Forbes, authority on industry and finances as
well as a kuen observer of business conditions gener-
aly, is publishing a magazine called for himself. Mr.
Forbes, in an interesting article, has taken cognizance
of the migration of hundreds of thousands of families
to the South, which must produce abounding pros-
S erity in those sections. The Influx of'Visitors from
le North to this region, was greatest the past season
than ever before. The contrast is so great between a
blizzard-stricken land and a mild and salubrious cli
mate that many will be tempted to remain and make
their permanent home heye.
Mr. Forbes also calls attention to the trend of in
dustrial enterprises in the same direction. “Experi
ence has proved,” he maintains, “thut it is easier to
attract workers to pleasant climates than to districts ,
where extreme heat and extreme cold alternate .Not
only so, but the output per worker is greater when
climate and living conditions are favorable. Some
industirics, however, can be carried on most advan
tageously, with a minimum of breakage and “sec
onds” in n climate where the temperature does not
fluctuate the whole range of the thermometer.”
It is probable that the migration Southward by the
two elements alluded to will more than offset the mi
gration Northward by the negroes. This latter is
caused by the debacle in cotton and we don’t imagine
that the nogroos will want to remain in the North
long after a remedy has been found for the boll
weeviL Moreover, the climatic conditions which
Mr. Forbes described in the North will operate all
the more, against the negro, who, being accustomed to-
a warm climate, will soon tire of the Northern winters.

The housing shortage has been reduced a fourth
in the laat 18 months. So estimates the business ex
pert of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Grad
ually the shortage will be wiped out Then rents
will smash. It’s -the law of supply and demand—the
average landlord demanding all’-hfe can get. That’s
human nature. Most of us would charge 81000 a
day for our work—if we could got it. New resi
dences contracted for in Mkrch Ih'tHe United States
involved 164 million dollars. A big sum, but only
about 81-60 for each Woman and child. People
seem to prefer to put their money into autos rather
than homes. High rent is the natural penalty.

Fifty Million Bushels of
Georgia Yams Wanted
By Georgia Yam Curing
Company.
ATLANTA.—Fifty million, bush-
ela of yams from Georgia growers
amounting, at present pric
fifty million dollars are wanted
this season by the recently organ-
izod Georgia Yam Curing company,
according to an annotm. ..n»nnt Sat
urday of John A. Manget, promin
ent Atlanta capitalist and president
of tho new company.
The Georgia^Yam Curing com
pany has been recently formed ami
will he Incorporated for ono niH-
Athens’^ on ^°^ arM to develop the sweet
1 potato Industry in Ceorgln. to cure
the yams by a new forced air pro
cess and to ship them to the mar
kets of tho world. ivfr. Man get
heads the company and D. H. Heck,
formerly of Texas, and the Invent
or of the new curing system is the
manager. The company has opened
offices at f»9 Cone street, Atlanta.
This company plans to interest
civic leaders In every Georgia com
munity in the new curing nroceRs
and to co-onerate wtih them In
building curing/'plants In their
communities. It will keep In touch
with the distant markets and ad-
v'so the !oc?vJ plants when njiil
where to shin their yams. In this
way the entire Georgia crop can
he handled.
The annual production of sweet
potatoes of fifty million bushels
a year desired by tho new com
pany is about four times the usual
production in the state. Last year
only 13.u00.000 bushels were raised
in Georgia and of this crop only
about three ner cent^reached dis-
tnnt markets because previously
no process hns been devised bv
which yams could he nrooerlv

However, tho method which will
