AND SUN-TELEGRAM
Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets, entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER OF" THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press i3 exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper, and also the local news published herein. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Be Careful Pick up your newspaper these days and you will find many accounts of deaths by accident, drowning, heat prostration, and other causes which the victims might have prevented through prudence and care. The summer season rolls up a tremendously high toll of accidental and preventable casualties. Some of these deaths may be attributed to the general disposition of mankind to take a chance. An automobile driver tries to beat a train or traction car over a crossing. Too often he meets a tragic fate. Under an imaginary necessity of having to gain time a motorist drives at an excessive speed, and a turn in the road or a faulty piece of mechanism in his car sends him to his death. A swimmer ventures too far from shore or in dangerous water; or, a person who cannot swim, wades beyond his depth, and death claims another victim. Unaccustomed to outdoor heat, men and women on their vacations exert themselves unduly, and return home shattered in health or are called by death. Against the folly of unnecessary exposure and risks one can only urge that persons exercise 'care and good judgment. Experience has taught that mankind will not listen to reason or follow advice when once the desire to take a chance has taken hold of the mind. The appaling casualty lists, especially on Sundays, ought to be deterrents in themselves against recklessness of all sorts. Why expose yourself, your family and friends to injury and death? Why court a speedy termination of your earthly existence? If life is worth living, be careful and prudent in summer. Most of the accidents of summer happen to to city, dwellers. After a week's work, they like toseek the open. In buoyant spirit, they throw caution to the winds and violate safety regula
tions which they would not think of forgetting during the week days. Safety first is a good slogan to take with us on Sundays and during the vacation period. It will prevent many aches and sorrows. N
Movie of a Man "Stacking" His Car in a Public Garage
Railroads No Longer Magnet for Young Men Railroads no longer attract large numbers of bright young college boys as the field for a career, according to Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company. In his testimony recently before the senate committee on interstate commerce, Willard said: "The railroads in the last few years have lost many of their most capable and experienced and brightest railway executives. I know of a case where a young man who grew up in the railway service was receiving a salary that was large for his age, and all that sort of thing, $35,000 a year, I think, previous to the war When the director general took the railroad over, he reduced his salary, and, of course, this young man remained until the war was over and did his part. , But after the war was over he received an offer of twice that amount to go with an outside business. There was nothing to keep him in the railroad service when a higher value was placed upoa his service outside. That is a typical case. I could cite dozens of cases of that kind. "Then there is another and more serious effect. Formerly it wras customary for hundreds of bright young college boys to enter the railroad senice each year. I myself received, from college presidents and from boys at college, communications inquiring as to how many such boys we could take into the railway service. They were anxious then to enter the service. But what is the situation today? Applications of that kind have almost entirely ceased. They do not come in any numbers any more. I do not advise them to enter the service. "In my own case, to put the matter as definitely as possible, I had thought that my own son might enter the railroad service, but before he finished his college course, even though he had theretofore intended entering the railroad service, he changed his mind and decided to enter some other line of business. And why? (1) Because the future status of railroading seemed uncertain ; and (2) because I did not care to encourage him to enter a business where to succeed will be a reproach, as the public mind looks at the matter at this time. I felt that he had better opportunities elsewhere."
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
HOT ENOUGH It's hot enough for me, my friends, mv once blithe spirit sag; my collar's wllter at the ends, my shirt is like a rag; the sun, with many aa angry curve, is baking land and sea, and I admit, -without reserve, it's hot enough for me. Men see me totter as I walk, all dizzy with the heat, and they inquire, on every block, in every glaring street, if it is hot enough for me they ask this while I fry; and I'm so faint I cannot see to make a calm reply. The mercury is making flights that cause us much amaze; the da-3 are torrid and the nights are hotter than the days; men wilt and wither and repeat their prayers for breezes cold, and he who yearns for greater heat should have his head half-soled. Yet ever in the scorching mart3 and on the sizzling plain, bores amble up and break our hearts with that abturd refrain. "Well, is it hot enough?" they ask, as they go sweating by, and ah, it is a grievous task to make a calm reply. For in the breast of palsied age and in the breast of youth, this question stirs a Berserk rage, makes us see red, in sooih. And we would crush the questioneer, expunge him on the srot, and fill his foolish tribe with fear, but we axe too blamed hot.

Mary had a little waist Where nature made it grow; But everywhere the fashion went The waist was sure to go. They say whiskers are coming back into style. But the rumor was probably started by those who already wear them. We often wonder what became of that eminent scientist who was going to shook a rocket to the moon. What Sherman once proclaimed of war won him a lot of fame and what we have found out of peace, it's just about the same.

A LITTLE TALK TO BUSINESS MEN Cobwebbed yesterdays ago, a nude savage was about to be attacked by a wild, famished beast. Retreat was out of the question. Escape was cut oft Hand-to-hand combat was perilously Impossible. He might tear a thick bough from a tree and wield it as a club; but such tactics necessitated coming within hitting distance, with the certainty of being dismembered and torn to tatters before he might even get a chance to strike. And he had to act Instantly. In desperation, he lunged at a jagged boulder on the ground, and with all his strength hurled it at the murderous animal facing him. He hurled another and another until the beast, bleeding, blinded and half-stunned from the hammer-like impacts, staggered ajout, allowing him to get away. But the caveman? His stupid brain probably comprehended he had avoided death; but he did not realize he had given impetus to the manufacture of rifles and ADVERTISING. Today you are in business. Business gets elow. You lose trade and patrons. You see the stark, grim wolf failure creeping round the corner heading for your door. YOU MUST DO MORE BUSINESS! Will you go and drag customers in? Will you travel round and tell people of your plight and "try to get them to patronize you out of pity? What chance do you stand against the punishing advertising of your competitors. No chance at all unless and this is your only salvation you advertise with them advertise against them or go to the wall! You must race at their pace or you're out of the running. And just as rocks and rifles enable a man to strike a harder blow than the impact of bis fist or the kick of his boot and at a far greater distance than the length of his arm so consistent advertising enables a man to persuade more powerfully than by speaking to a few neighbors enables him to reach untapped sources of patronage at wonderful distances rather than depend trpon precarious transient trade or sympathetic acquaintances. Rifles are but perfected stone throwers and advertising is the modern weapon the rifle of big business. It is the better way, nay, the only way to bring protection and to bring down big game!

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" BETWEEN THE LINES The best of us all is that which remains unwritten in our lives between the lines. There are those, however, who are able to read this unpenned nobility and to take it into their own lives to become an inspiration there. To understand is much more wonderful than to read or see. Human expression at its highest is a withering affair. And so is human action. Thought is deeper and greater than either for it inspires both. But that which always remains between the lines refusing to be written or expressed shall continue as the Bource of our best that is written or expressed. Pilate, the Roman Governor, confused and convicted in heart, asks : "What is Truth?" But Jesus, brought before him, preceding His walk to the Cross, answered this question fully between the lines by "answering not a word!" Between the lines of history as John Brown climbed the scaffold Freedom wept. And between the lines of the simple inscriptions on the crosses in France, and on the monuments of those throughout the world who gave their "last full measure of devotion" that Liberty might not die, the Angels of Light read these words: "War must not be any more." Every day you live you will have to pick your way through mistakes and misunderstandings. The small boy or girl in you will always show scars. But every time your heart smiles these scars will fade in prominence. And you will be the only one who will know that they are there. Unless they be "suspicioned" by those who are able to read between the lines. Character must be Judged chiefly by that which remains between the lines unwritten. Most of the hurts which hit the heart, come about from those who, in their thoughtlessness, forget to read between the lines and, therefore, misunderstand and bring sadness instead of gladness. Between the notes of the bird songs, rising above the green of the grass, and floating ever about the atmosphere of the many colored flowers, breathing their exquisite perfumes, a great touch of Heaven hovers 1

Soon after the "discovery of America (then called India), Europeans heard of the use of this substance.

CENTER VILLE READER. Who
named the guillotine? The guillo
tine was named after Dr. Joseph Guillotin, on whose suggestion it was introduced into France during the Revolution in 1792. The instrument consists to two upright posts, with a
crossbeam at the top, the posts being so grooved as to allow the falling of a heavy steel knife with a slanting edge, upon the neck of the victim, as
soon as the cord holding it in place is re'eased by the executioner.

Use Cocoanut 03 For Washing Hair
If you yant to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonsful of Mulsified will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. Advertisement.
