Seventeen deaths and scores of injured is the toll of two automobile accidents in Indiana Sunday. Both were caused when trains crashed into automobiles. Both could have been avoided had the drivers exercised due caution and care when they approached the crossing. A cursory glance at most of the automobile accidents that occur on Sunday will show that negligence on part of the driver is responsible. A railroad crossing is a potential danger spot at all times, and challenges the driver to be careful. Many drivers seemingly go on the theory that luck which has accompanied them in the
past will be with them again when they dash madly over a railroad crossing. There is no
such thing a3 luck when you try to dodge a loco motive.
Papers will be filled with automobile trag
edies until their drivers become inoculated with the "safety first" principle. Laws, regulations
s.nd appeals to the better sense of drivers are fu
tile when once they get the "speed" germ. The recital of frightful tragedies, such as brought
grief to score of homes in Franklin and Hunting bug, make no impression upon them.
The Plight of the State Institutions The proposal of the state administration to purchase a coal mine and enough freight cars to transport fuel to the state institutions illustrates potently the chaotic condition of our industrial sphere. Normally the state institutions would be filling their bunkers now with coal for winter consumption, but under the stress of present
conditions they hardly have enough to fire the r
boilers for the small demand made on them in the summer months. Even the purchase of a, mine and rolling stock is no guarantee that bunkers will be kept filled and a continuous supply be assured. The project does not consider the hazard of strikes at the mines, interrupted rail service and countless other contingencies that may arise to wreck the success of the project. The proposal of necessity anticipates the abil
ity of the state to obtain officials conversant
with the industry and capable of administering
the many details surrounding the mining and distribution of coal. Whether the state will be able to hire men with these qualifications and with the business acumen essential to the success of the innovation is a question challenging as much thought as does the mere acquisition of coal mining property. Experience with publicly owned utilities has proved in many instances the folly of of engaging in the enterprise. Appointees will be selected because of their standing with the dom
inant party, irrespective of their knowledge of the intricacies of the mining business and the necessities of the institutions whih are to be
served.
Americans are looking askance on efforts to multiply state boards and commissions, and are wary of the government's intrusion into the realm of business. The war demonstrated conclusively that the government is incapable of managing big buusiness enterprises successfully. The experience of many cities with municipally owned utilities is further proof of our inability
to handle with keen business judgment the problems attending their successful administration. Purchase of coal mines for state purposes may be a costly experiment in the long run. It

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
THE LOOK-OUT MAN There are two kinds . of peopl
those who look out and those who look
in. Those who keep looking in are all the time discovering new things about themselves that they didn't know existed. They find that their hearts lose beats, that their livers don't work as well as they used to, and that this, that and the other thing is all the time causing them trouble. They think that life is the hardest thing to endure, and they can't understand why it is that they are compelled to go through this "vale of tears". But, in contrast, is the look-out man the one who hasn't time to keep looking into himself because there is
so much to see outside ana so Dig a world in front of his vision. He loses himself in the tasks of service. Be a look-out man or woman on your home, in your office, in your town. Not that you should neglect anything that will add to your own personal efficiency or usefulness, but that you may conserve every power at your command in order that you may
stuff and that some man shot him with a revolver. A FEW QUEER THINGS. A funny thing about the bell is that it doesn.t bellow, A funny thing about the yell is that it isn't yellow, A funny thing about the dust is that it doesn't duster. And when you add to these the lust, it really doesn't luster. H. P. T. A man sold a lot of New York chorus girls fake perfume at $6 a bottle.

A famous doctor, writing about catarrh, says, "When the nose is stopped up, as by a cold in the head, or when the bad habit of mouth breathing is
indulged in, the air we breathe Is only partially warmed, moistened, and otherwise prepared for contact with the deeper tissues, therefore, diseases of the throat, windpipe, or lungs are very apt to develop." "I have been a sufferer from catarrh for a long time," says Mr. W. L. Byrum, living at 907 Sheridan St.. Richmond, Ind. "There seemed to be a constant dripping into my throat from the back of my nose. Upon rising in the morning my head and nose would be all stopped up, and it would take some time to get them cleared. My breath most of the time was foul, and my breathing was heavy and difficult. I knew of the benefits people were receiving from taking Dreco, so bought a bottle. At the end of the first bottle, I felt that my condition was much improved; on rising I was not nearly so much stopped up; my breath was sweeter, and the dripping much less I am continuing the treatment and feel that I will get a permanent cure, and do not hesitate to recommend Dreco to any one suffering as I was." Dreco acts directly 'on catarrhal conditions of the nose, head, throat and stomach, as it is quickly absorbed by the blood and circulated to the affected parts, where its tonic action is 6oon felt, giving prompt benefit, and, if the use is continued, often affects permanent relief. All good druggists now 6ell Dreco, and it Is highly recommended in this city by Clem Thlstlethwaite's Seven Drug Stores. Advertisement.
