DOES THE AUTOMOBILE DRIVER THINK—EVER? In referring to the many accidents at railroad crossings has caused A. G. Lupton, president of the Hoosier State Automobile Association, to pen the following. What must the average automobile owner of Indiana think when he picks up a newspaper and reads: “Five killed when train strikes auto; two families wiped out.” . ' Or, does this auto owner think —EVER? Does it occur to him: “I’m likely to be the next victim?” If this thought does not occur to him, does it serve to make him slow down, or stop, look and listen at railway crossings? I’ll offer a prize of a solid reinforced concrete safety razor for the best answer as to WHY the gruesome tragedies DO NOT in- \ -/Still caution into the minds of O£the average auto driver. is my belief: There is too —Vouch ego in all of us. It goes -'like this: I never do anything wrong. I know how to drive. I can always get out of tight places. I know what my car will do. I can drive at high speed. If there is a train coming I can beat it across. I don’t want to loaf around all day getting from here to yonder. I never kill my engine. I—l—l the eternal ego which sooner or later becomes the infernal ego. ’ That is the cause of a lot of crossing tragedies. Pure, unadulterated bumtiousness with absolutely no sense of caution. Gambling with the old man that wields the scythe and whose top piece is but a hollow skull. The aforesaid man nearly always wins. A good newspaper friend of the Hoosier Auto Association, G. B. Harris, of the Bourbon (Ind.) News-Mirror, has coined a name for the dumb-bell drivers. “Ivory toters” ■he calls them, and he is exactly right. It is the ivory toter who, while driving on a road paralleling a railroad, sees a train coming but wings across the track anyway under the impression he can “beat it across.” A recent tragedy in this state occurred at night with the electric headlight of an on-coming passenger train visible for a long distance. And yet his driver attempted to get across ahead of the train. He might have been delayed at least half a minute if he had waited. He didn’t wait and the cbroner attended to him and his whole family—five others in the car with him being killed. This is not suicide —it is mur- ; der. There is nothing to loose and everything to gain by slowing down, yes—even STOPPING —at ? a railroad crossing ’where the view is at all obstructed.. There are thousands of such crossings in Indiana. And there is much to gain by halting and letting a train go by rather than attempting to .beat it across, even when the driver sees the train. A hundred things can happen in the few eye-blinks of time it takes for that train to get to the crossing. In the name of all that’s good—play SAFE. Drive with sense and give the ambulances and undertakers a long vacation! o Subscribe for the Journal.

1. U. FOOTBALL SEASON Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 25. — The first scrimmage of the Indiana University football season was held on Jordan -field here last week in preparation for the opening games this Jail, the first game with DePauw\Ocl)ober 7 at Bloomington, and t)ie second game with Minneso^October 14 at Indianapolis. Football fans from east to west are looking forward to the Minnesota game with particular interest, as it will mark the entrance into the Big Ten western football conference of the famous Glen Warner system of play. Pat Herron, new head coach at Indiana University taking the the place of “Jumbo” Stiehm season on account of the latter s illness, will introduce the system of play which for years has made Glen Warner’s Carlisle and Pittsburgh university elevens among the most successful in the country. Herron played the game under Warner, during which time he was chosen as all-American material at end. For the past two years Herron has been Warner’s first assistant at Pittsburgh and was to have held this position during 1922 but was released by Warner for the jobat Indiana. “Herron is the only man I can unhesitatingly recommend,” said Warner of his assistant, when asked to aid the Indiana university athletic committee in obtaining a coach to replace Stiehm. “He is a man of the best character and a brainy, capable coach. You will make no mistake in taking this man.” A combination of eastern and western football, with emphasis placed on the defense both in the line and in the back field and with hard tackling a feature, is found in the Warner game. Sixty candidates, twelve of them ve- ' terans from last year’s squad and more than twenty promising men from last season’s fredhman eleven, along with others of less experience, have been working out on Hordan field the past week. Drill in fundamentals, md the sizing up of candidates has occupied most of the time during the first week of practice. Fans who have followed Indiana football practice for many years ire optimistic and are willing to wager that Indiana will make a strong bid for victory in her first inference game, with Minnesota >t Indianapolis. o THE WILL AND THE DEED Will a thing and it is done; Will it and your work is fun; Will and your troubles run; WILL IT!

| HOUSEHOLD HINTS Scorch stains may be taken out by wetting the place scorched, then rub it with soap and bleach in the sun. To prevent cheese molding, wrap it in a cloth moistened in cold vinegar. These cheese will neither mold nor dry. When desiring to place a kettle or other vessel directly over the flames, grease it on the bottom and the soot will easily wash off. Egg stains on silver may be removed by putting the silver in water in which potatoes have been boiled and rubbing it with a little salt. If a piece of soap is moistened and rubbed on silk stockings where the thread is raveling, it will hold the “runner” until a needle and thread can be applied. When frying fish, to prevent them from sticking and breaking slice them and dip in a wellbeaten egg and then in flour. This holds them together and will fry to a nice brown. , Some rocking chairs have an annoying habit of traveling along when rocked in. A strip of adhesive tape a few inches long placed along the middle of the rocker will correct this. To prevent blue from fading put an ounce of sugar of lead in a pail of water, soak the goods in this for two hours, let it dry before washing and ironing. This is good for all shades of blue. To remove old paint or varnish take a dish and dissolve lye in a little water. Then take an old brush and apply it to the old paint or varnish and let it re,main a few minutes. Then scrub with clear water. Keep Flowers Fresh To make flowers last a week or more do not try to arrange them the moment you get them, but put them in a pail of water for a few hours, sb ,that every stem will be under water up to the blossoms. The cooler the flowers are kept the longer they will last. At night put the vase in a cool place, or, better still, plunge the stems up to the flowers in a pail of water. Cut about a quarter of an inch off each stem in the morning. Good for Everybody One of the easiest ways to be sure of getting sufficient amounts of vitajnine, the scurvy preventing substance, is to eat tomatoes rather regularly, perhaps every day, or to make it a practice to put tomato juice in MARINELLO * “A Beauty Aid For Every Need' complete line of these famous preparations for sale by Marinello Beauty Parlors Spohn Building Miss Lydell Goshen, Indiana.

some of the dishes. So valuable s is the tomato as a source of this s mysterious and important in- < gredient of the diet that physicians now recommend it for babies fed on pastuerized milk, just as they have for some time prescribed orange juice. If to- 1 mato juice is to be given to a • child it should be carefully ' strained in order to eliminate : any seed. One-half tablespoon of fresh tomato juice or one tablespoon of canned tomato juice daily is a safe allowance. Make Your Own Ice Where it is difficult to get ice it is possible to make your own. Place the water to be frozen in a tin bucket and put this bucket into a large vessel containing a weak solution of sulphuric acid and water. Into the solution put a handful of Glauber salts. The resulting cold will be so great that the water imnlersed in the mixture will be frozen solid in a short time, so that ice cream or ices can be prepared with it. Always put the acid into the water, never the water into acid, and it should be added gradually. Sulphuric acid is one of the strongest caustics, so keep it out of reach of the children. Salt for Sugar Experiments in replacing sugar with salt in making jam and marmalade have proven successful, according to home economics experts at lowa State College. England, for some time, has been replacing the expensive sugar with a little salt and the jam proved to be of fine quality. The jam thus treated is as palatable as the “all sugar” jam, but lacks that sickening sweet taste. In making jam or marmalade, use three-fourths cup of sugar and one-half tablespoonful of salt to each pound of fruit.' Add sugar and salt together and make jam as usual. After the jam is made it

should stand for at least five or six days and, the salt taste will entirely disappear. For Cleaning Pots Where it is necessary to scour metal, whiting as a scouring substance will give the metals the least wear. The acid of common foods, such as rhubarb, tomatoes, lemons or oranges, will often remove discolorations. Whiting moistened with all food acid such as mentioned above is good for aluminum. Washing soda should not be used, as the alkali it contains darkens the metal. A weak soda solution will remove grease from brass, and whiting and a dilute acid will remove tarnish; brass may be polished with rottenstone and sweet oil, dried with a soft cloth. Copper may be cleaned in the same way. Kerosene will remove rust and grease from iron. It may also be boiled in a strong solution of washing soda. o THE DOG FAMILY The dog—which in the wild state never barks —is one of the few animals that have accompanied man, in friendship, during the long march out of barbarism, says a contemporary. Originally dogs, jackals, foxes and wolves belonged to the same family. The orgin of domestic or tame dogs is lost in the mists that enshroud the period of the cave man. Professor Shaler’s researches in dogology led him to believe that dogs were first domesticated to provide an emergency food supply during famine. A more plausible guess is that dogs were tamed to help gratify man’s craving for submissive affection, also to tickle his vanity. Our primitive ancestors, no doubt, felt very much pleased with themselves when they con-

templated the dogs they had sub- < dued from the wild state. i Nevertheless, the dog has accompanied man into so-called 1 civilization, and in return has ' been rewarded with a maze of legislation concerning his legal statue, rights, ownership, and conduct. The oldest monuments of India and Egypt show that ancient man reveled in ownership of Fido, Towser and Bob. Today we have him in magazine stories and the news, which

correspond to the cravings on monuments of long ago. How the dog has survived man’s passion for exterminating animal life is a riddle, despite the affection with which he rewards kindness to him. That’s why the study of dogs is inseparable from the study of human nature. o The best drivers in the State will be seen in auto races on the North Manchester Fair Grounds. September 30.
