GRADE CROSSING MUST GO. There is general recognition among progressive railroad men that the grade crossing eventually must go. But the change will require many years and large expenditures and the movement must be encouraged patiently as well as confidently. President Harding had these things in mind when he endorsed the railroads' campaign to decrease the toll of the grade crossing, a safety drive which is to extend through the summer; Acknowledging the good which will be accomplished by such a campaign, the president emphasized the importance of bearing in mind that the ultimate goal to strive for is the elimination of these danger spots. In that movement progressive railroad men probably will continue to lead as they have led in recent years. With the co-operation of public officials many dangerous crossings have been eliminated within the last two decades. Recognizing what has been done in this respect, the public undoubtedly will participate in the .summer safety drive with hearty good-will. The purpose of the safety campaign is not to protect the railroads, but to protect the public. In a collision the average pedestrian or automobile driver is usually more severely damaged than is the locomotive that hits ttim .

TO AVOID COURT ACTION. . There need be no fear that the Arbitration Society of America, which was organized in New York City the other day, will succeed in putting all the lawyers out of business and closing up; any of the established courts. But even if this should result, there may be some sound reasons

for the existence of the new society. The purpose of the new society is to bring about adjustment of claims and differences without resort to the courts, with the fees for attorneys and the court costs which always accompany litigation at law. The society would have the persons involved submit their griev'ances to arbitration. The New York legislature in 1920 gave a legal status to arbitration and empowered the arbitrator to call witnesses and take evidence as is done in the courts. Agreement to abide by the decision of the board of arbitration is entirely voluntary and the advantages go only to persons who choose this method in preference td legal contests. The success of arbitration depends altogether on the willingness of the parties to the) controversy to accept what is justly their due, instead of trying to get advantages over thei opponents by using the service of an attorney to influence a jury, as is often done. The plan of arbitration would seek to secure the services

of persons who would be best qualified to appraise the merits of the case. Grave injustice has. been done in other years to persons who were unable, for financial reasons, to prosecute their cases through the tedious litigation that is sometimes experienced in the courts. This, in many cases, is due to the fact that the stronger contender is unwilling to concede anything that would end in fairness to all. The merits of arbitration as a principle are widely conceded, but it is quite another thing to secure its acceptance in practice. Success of the plan will be realized only as both sides are ready to agree that a settlement in fairness to both sides is the only kind that results in permanent satisfaction. There seems to be too many organizations already, but there should be a place for one that seeks to promote settlements of disputes without resort to law.

THE REGULAR ARMY. The administration desires a regular army of 150,000 men. The house voted to provide for only 115,000. The subcommittee of the senate committee has agreed upon 140,000 which it is supposed will pass the full committee and the senate and finally be settled in conference. It is said that the house will object strongly to any increase above 115,000. This is a very large country and we - are compelled to keep garrisons in the Philippines, Hawaii and the Canal Zone, besides a detachment in Alaska. There must be small forces in all our innumerable army posts, and it runs into men. But the most important consideration is that there is not yet any certainty tJUt there

Lwill be no more war. Until all reasonable fear

of war disappears it is a national duty to maintain a thoroughly trained army of sufficient size to engage in maneuvers, to bear the first shock of an attack and form the nucleus of an army of war size. To the failure of previous congresses to provide reasonably for an army organization is due from a "quarter to a third of the national taxation under which we groom and the unnecessary deaths of thousands of our young men, whose blood is on the heads of delinquent congressmen.

AMATEUR SPORT. Organization of the National Amateur Athletic Federation of America at a meeting held in Washington is a matter of more importance than appears on the surface. When it is realized that nearly 6,000,000 athletes will come under the control and supervision of the federation, if all the sports organizations in the country accept it, as seems probable the influence that it will exercise ecomes readily apparent. The basic reason for one central organiza-

ttion, having general supervision over all amateur sports, while leaving the existing organizai tions in direct control of the ports they specii fically reprsent, is the still higher cultivation- of j the amateur spirit in athletics, the maintenance ; of physical education on an equally high plane

and the standardization of the rules of all amateur games and exhibitions. By electing the president of the United States honorary president and secretaries of war and the navy honorary vice presidents, the federation indicates to the people of the country, not only those who are active in sports of some kind, but to such as are not, the far-reaching importance of the purposes that are in view

' THE COST of living has dropped, but that means no saving for the man who is always looking for the drop of hootch.

IN THE STONE AGE. , Ts old-time cliff apartments were more quiet than our own, They had no pianola nor night-prowling gramophone. ' No amateur grand opera stars sang songs into the night, K And authors with typewriters didn't pound with all their might. And if perchance some roysterer should come home with a spiff, Some; caveman would get out of bed and push him off the cliff. And if some Romeo should play sweet ballads on a lute They'd smite him with a bowlder that was large and round and cute. The bill collector in those days no tingling doorbells rang. The caveman pulled the ladder up and told him to go hang. And when the caveman wanted any flat upon his shelf He went and threw the tenants out and took it for himself. How different, how different, oh, fellow democrats. With us poor geezers who must live in modern city flats.

Novel Knitted Swimming Suit Dame Fashion has been prompted in decreeing the simple and practical bathing suit by the fact that so many women, the country over, have become devotees of the art of swimming. Since the sport has become so popular, there is little room left for the cumbersome bathing outfit of yesteryear. The comfortable form fitting suit, cut wide at the shoulder to insure freedom of arm movement, is the the order of the day. While the fashionable set experimented with bathing suits of woven materials, during the past Palm Beach season, this was but aflare of fashion, v that soon gave way to the welcome return of the knitted suit. The nonclinging and non-chilling qualities of knitted material now leave the knitted bathing suit unchallenged in its field. t In addition to suits of on color, some of which bear embroidery varyv ing from pure geometrical designs to conventional sea subjects, there are two-color effects. Here we have a most attractive example, made of pure worsted. The skirt is laced and allows for fullness. The upper part and the knickers are of a different color and may be had in cardinal. Kelly green or sand combination.
