Henry Ford says be has done bis best work since he passed the sixty mark and he celebrated his sixty-sixth birthday this week, going strong and expecting to keep it up at least a decade or two.

Some motorists must be unbelievably careless. At any rate, safety experts have found that a large percentage of all grade crossing a cidents are caused, not by the train hitting the auto, but by the auto hitting the train, in other words, the train was actually on the crossing, and not simply approaching it, when the automobile came along. How can you understand the mental processes of a motorist who gets in an accident like that? A mistake in judgment, or a foolhardy determination to beat the train to the crossing, would explain things where' the train strikes the car. But where the auto strikes the train —well, it simply must mean that the driver of the auto wasn't paying atention to his job. —Newcastle Courier. o — I MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q.
