RUNNING AMUCK.
f!, Some conception of the cataclysm into which Europe has plunged herself is s, gained from the Tribune dispatch today, which says that German forces have engaged Freftch forces in far off
Algeria. If eruptions of carnage and slaughter are to dot the earth wherever the belligerent forces maintain outposts the world seems in for a bloody

Bryan should see to it that we do not become involved, which, it is conceded, may be a difficult and delicate task. Overt acts by some of the •warring forces against American citissens and American interests will doubtless ocqur.

PUBLIC SAFETY.
Public sentiment is in a fair way to eliminate "useless" automobile accidents. Some communities are adopting of an auto that injured an individual. Elsewhere the cars are taken into custody and the driver is deprived of the use of the machine until the outcome of the accident is apparent. The problem became so acute in Boston that drastic police orders were announced. The chamber of commerce took up the matter and inaugurated a "safety fi'si" movement. According to the Boston Post, signs reading "Safety First," have been placed at all crossings, in store and residence windows, In subway and eletvated railway entrances and on •vehicles of all kinds. The newspapers, too, have published columns approving of the campaign.
Plan of arresting every owner
On hundreds of automobiles small metal tigns bearing the two words ivc been placed with th3 consent of the?'r owners, and owners have entered enthus^slically into the plan to prevent accidents.
There has not heen a seiious automobile accident in Boston streets since the beginning of the safety campaign, and investigators for the chamber of commerce have reported that the minor ones which have occurred could not have been avoided by the operators of tho automobiles.
The signs seem to ha?ve induced pedestrians to become auxiliary policeman and many of them have reported cases of speeding at police stations. Many automobile drivers say they have been stopped when going perhaps a little faster than the legal limit and shown the "Saffety First" signs.
Members of the highway commission, which issues and revokes automobile licenses, believe that the safety first campaign is one of the best ideas that has ever been arranged to present speeding and accidents, and they have promised to deal harshly with any operators of cars who are reported for violating the speed laws or for carelessness in tjie operation of their automoiles.
YOUNG
HABITS.
Habits formed in childhood are usually lasting. With that idea as a basis the playground and school authorities in Rochester halve placed signs conspicuously located on the playgrounds on which are displayed thesti words, 'Tick It upl"
The idea is to have the children clear away the disorder they create during play, before they leave the grounds. The plan is reported to have shown immediate resuts. It has been possible to dispense with the caretaker of the grounds. The boys and girls leave the grounds in perfect condition. No waste

CZAR, KAISER, ENGLISH KING, ALL ARE GRANDCHILDREN OF QUEEN VICTORIA
Three first cousins, rulers of three big European powers, may find themselves arfayed in war against a fourth first cousin as a result of the international embroilment the Austrian-Serb war has brought about.
Czar Nicholas II, of Russia King George Y, of England, and .King Constantine, of Greece, all bound by family ties to English royalty, are expected to take the side of Servia in the struggle.
Emperor William II, of Germany, the "war lord," a direct descendant of the late Queen Victoria, of England, will line up with Austria in what is expected to be one of the bitterest and bloodiest conflicts of history.
The czar, the kaiser and the king of England all are-.offsprings-. of the children of Queen Victoria. Constantine, of Greece, whose alliance with Servia in the recent Balkan war is expected to be repeated, is a brother-in-law of the kaiser, whom he will oppose, as well as being a first cousin by marriage to the czar the kaiser and King George.
Czar Nicholas, aged 46, Russian ruler since November 1, 1894, is the son of the late czar, Alexander III, and Dagmar, dowager empress oi Russia. Dagmar was a sister of Alexandra, queen of Great Britain and Ireland, mother of King George V.
Nicholas II, in addition to being a cousin of the British king, is married to Princess Alix, a granddaughter of Victoria through Victoria's third daughter, Alice Maud Mary, grand duchess of Hesse.
King George, of England, is a son of the late King Edward VII, who was Victoria's first son. George has been on the throne siftce' May 6, 1910. He is 49 years old and closely resembles his cousin, the czar.
Constantine, of Greece, is married to Princess Sophia, sister of the kaiser, and hence the kaiser's brother-in-law. He also is a first cousin of the czar and King George. Constantine is 46 years old and has been' on the throne since March 19, 1913.
Emperor William, of Germany, is the son of former Efnperor Frederick and the royal Princess Victoria, first child of Queen Victoria, hence a first cousin of the. czar and English king.

It is just as easy to teach children to be orderly as to be disorderly. Neatness and cleanliness have an appeal to the youngsters when properly presented. Rochester is trying out good ideas. They might be worth while in other places.
HOOSIER PROSPERITY.
The city of Huntingtonj Ind., whose petition for a municipal bond isdue to improve its light and water plafxt has been granted by the public service commission, is on record as declaring that improved business conditions now call for a lower rate of interest than would have been considered possible at the time the petition was filed early in the spring.
By direction of the commission the rate of interest was fixed at four and a half per cent, instead of the sipc per cent rate at first-demanded.
This action was taken on application of the petitioners, who filed a supplemental petition at the time the case came up for cohslderatfon, voluntarily asking a reduction in the rate uf Interest, and stating that the demand for the bonds was so general that it would be fen easy "mafter to dispose of them at the lower Tate.
The first petition was filed April 1, 1914, asking the privilege of issuing $30,000 worth of bonds, which were to draw interest at six per Cent.
On July 16 a supplemental petition was filed showing the necessity for an order for an increase in the amount of the bonded indebtedness, owing to the

Increased expense necessary for the building, repair and enlargement of the electric light and power plant for pumping the water for the city and asking for an increase in the amount o' bonded indebtedness in- the sum of $?0,000, also at six per cent.
The public service commission showed some hesitartcy in acceding t6 the request because of th,e high-rate of interest, but the petitioners thought that the bonds would not sell re&dily at a lower rate.
However, before the day. for the final disposition .of. the. cas.e the board of public works of-Huntington discovered that such a healthy demand for municipal bonds existed that it would iiave no trouble disposing. of the. entire $50,000 at a greatly reduced rate.
Therefore an order-for a lower rate was asked, the petition statfng that "since the issuing of the order of April 1, 1914,. your petitioner has discovered that, owing to the improvement in the financial' condition of the country and owltig to- the ability of bond buyers by reason of such improved financial condition. to-buy bonds at a lower rate of interest, the petitioner will be able to sell Maid bonds at a lower rate than the interest ordered and directed.pn said issue of April 1, therefore your petitioner, .asks an. .order modifying the order-heretofore issued that the said bonds should bear Interest at the rate of four and a.half per pent,"
This cowvlrrcing^ proof of improved business conditions in the state will be r^ad .with supreme interest by every citl&en.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY. star* Incline, but do not compel. Copyright 1812 ty the McCluio

Wednesday, August 5, 1914.
This is a day in which many contending influences operate, astrologers declare. Mercury alone is strongly beneflc, while Saturn, Venus, Mars and Uranus are all adverse and Ne^ttine is read as doubtful.
The aspect of Mercury Is read as most favorable for making contracts, signing leases and auditing accounts. Under this configuration literary work of every sdrt should be' aided.
There .Is. a good omen..for, advertising and publishing. Newspaper men, printers and booksellers should benefit.
With Saturn and Uranus both' in evil aspect the danger of riots and labor difficulties is foreshadowed. Astrologers, find reason to counsel moderation and arbitration, ..as the indications for next month are not reassuring.
There is. a prophecy of startling diplomatic complications which will cause national anxiety and greatly disturb the president of the United States. In one of these Germany will on
Persons whose birth date it is may have a year of perplexities and anxieties. They should be exceedingly conservative and exercises severe selfcontrol. Young members of their families may cause anxiety. Courtships may come to naught.

You are not asked to take a similar risk with other kinds of food.
And yet, every time you buy beer in a light bottle you must assume the burden of keeping it away from light to avoid that skunky taste.
