TAXATION The tax-paying public has done its part for the automobile driver in constructing and maintaining good public highways. It is now up to careless automo¬ bile drivers to do their part by sparing the taxpaying public from the additional expense of grade crossings. AH that is necessary for these drivers to do is stop, look and listen before crossing a railroad track. 1 Because a small per cent of the hundreds of thousands of automobile drivers persist in carelessness in crossing railroad tracks there are those who demand that grade cross¬ ings be eliminated, little realizing aparently that the danger is in the driver rather than in the crossing, or that the public’s share of the ex¬ pense of such grade changes would be large and burdensome at best. Carefully computed cost of chang¬ ing a grade crossing shows it to be from $60,000 to $80,000 and in some instances as much as $300,000 or $400,000, contingent upon the loca¬ tion and surroundings. In apportion¬ ing this cost it is customary for the railroad and the public to bear the expense jointly. There are 256,000 grade crossings in the United States, which to change at $60,000 each would enail an expense of $15,360,000. Isn’t this a pretty burden to impose upon the public? For what the railroads pay directly must be repaid to the railroads by the pub lie. A law compelling vehicles to stop at raitroad crossings would be no expense to taxpayers, and fines for disobedience would enrich the public treasury. HUMAN OR HOG E. K. Han, vice-president in charge of the personnel and public relations of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, in discuss¬ ing the human factor that enters in¬ to business and which cannot be handled as a mechanical proposition, says: • * What is the difference between an animal and a man? “The difference is that man has everything an animal has plus the ability to record his experience and the experience of other men and profit by the same. «< A hog is a hog today, just as he was a thousand years ago. If a^human being cannot profit by experience of others and help to make, this world a little better place in which to live, he mi-ht as well be a hog. <* The vital factor in business is the human element. If the human factor is not mobilized for all it is worth we cannot do a hundred per cent job. This human factor has been too much overworked in the past as W6 drove along building up G RIFF IN DAILY NEW S AND SUN ................. ---------------------- - -----—........ the physical and mechanical end of industry. » NOVEMBER 4 LUCKY DAY FOR \ DEMOCRATS As the popularity of John W. Davis spreads throughout the coun¬ try there is a growing interest in the historical fact that since the birth of the Democratic party every Democratic presidential candidate nominated in a year having Novem¬ ber 4 as election day has been elect ed. ‘ This begad with the election of Jackson in 1828 and was repeated in 1856, 1884 and 1912, the respec¬ tive years in which Buchanan, Cleveland and Wilson were elected. | A Lau gh Or Two 1 Mrs. Smithson had just engaged a new gardener.

A lazy man always believes that a thing of duty is a bore forever. When a woman wants to annoy her husband she tells him that she is go¬ ing to clean house. _______ When anything happens to a mar¬ ried man his wife always remembers that she told him so. The small boy Is apt to doubt the wisdom of his parents when they tell him what is best for him. A bachelor may have no excuse for living, but a married mim has to dig up two or three excuses every week. “Like father, like son, ii Is the old laying, but a girl may like the son without having any use for the old man.

Oh, remorse is ours The first thing this morning Eggheda was called out of bed to a telephone call from home and heard the tear-stained voice of Strickland feebly sob, “Big Spoon, the Misogynists are no more! a ll turned bolshevicks at the meeting last night and the whole or has disbanded. Only three of us, Ira Slade, David Jenkins and remained loyal to your cause.

Madame X is the cause of it. I told them not take that woman in. I knew she was evil omen, and now she has done No more can w» boast of a band of haters of women. 11 ‘EGGHEAD HAD to interrupt Ralph long enough to caution him about strong language on the phone, for one time he forgot himself and “doggone her.” But he told of the slick scheme the female member the woman haters had used on the poor, dumb boys, the spell under the president, Henry McWilliams, was the first to fall. SHE ENTERED the club under false pretense of true friendship to organization, but quietly went about her way vamping the members at the time until she got them all but the three mentioned under her principle of their organization was absurd and idiotic. And the boys for it. “Just after I had received a large number of letters from cities in the United States with reference to making the organiza¬ a national one,” Ralph sobbed as he dropped the receiver and left but-a faint buzzing of the wires. WELL, LET THEM GO. We knew all the time that some of the boys weaken, but never thought they would get the whole club. The last resolution drawn up by the president and signed by all but three members present, read, “Womanhood is the loveliest creation of heaven, and we love lovely things. So mote it bs!

World’s Oldest Harp The most remarkable harp in exist¬ ence Is that known as Brian Born’s harp, which Is preserved in the mu¬ seum of Trinity college, Dublin. Doc¬ tor Petrie tells us that “it Is not only the most ancient instrument of the kind known to exist in Ireland, but. Is, In all probability, the oldest harp now remaining in Europe.” Famous Military Map In a secluded corner of the nation¬ al museum at Washington, is hung the wall map used by General Pershing and his staff at American headquar ters at Chaumont. France, during the World war. The map indicates the location of the allied and the enemy forces as they stood on November 11, 1918. C-v " >>■
