Y. VV. C. A. Notes
All club girls who nrc planning
to go to Y. W. C. A. Camp during
August must report at the local
building I'Vidny, July 128th, at 2
p. 111. Don't fail to do this as it
is very necessary in order to
make complete arrangements.
Mrs. Shaw, Sec.
Simple precautions would avert
most of the railroad crossing hor
rors. Hero are a few rules which
if followed woulil save many
lives: Never approach railroad
tracks that must be crossed at
grade without this thought:
"Here is the place where I must
play safe!" Have your ear 1111

good brakes on your car. I.,mi(
them over from time to time.
Probably nine out of ten times
there will not be a train near
enough to check your progress
over the tracks. Make no effort
to go across until, by careful use
of both eyes and caw, you have
sized up the situation. All must
agree that a little time spent in
trying t protect life and limb
is a good investment. We use
up some time hunting bargains
in stores, Hotter plan to hold
onto the life you possess. No bar
gain counter has another to of
fer you. When your end comes,
you wilt be a long time dead.
Maybe, when you get near the
railroad tracks, you see a train
coming, and the thought comes in
to your mind, "I can beat it
across I" That thought is a mere
whim. Your judgment is not
xpeaking. In Htich a ease, wait
for your sober second thought.
Itcmcmhcr that a fast train can
run the quarter mile from the
whistling post, to the erossin-; in
fifteen seconds. Do you Itmnv
just exactly how far you can
make your ear go in niie-foiirtS
of a miuutcT Most of us fait I
our best in an emergency. Do
you admire a man who tries to
beat a train over a erossing.when
ho has his family or friends in
the ear with him, depending up
on him for protection f If mnIi a
man were to run his business so
carelessly as that we greatly fear
that the balance would show up
on the wrong side of his ledger.
Most of us are very weary of
reading newspaper accounts of
death and destruction. Let's be

Typographical Error Cot Life.
A typographical error once cost a
woman her life. Shortly after the In
ventlon of printing, n (leriuan printer
working on an edition of the lllble
entrusted to his wife the setting up of
the type for a portion of the Hook of
Genesis, There Is a sentence In Oene
sl. describing Kve's duty to Adnm,
which runs "Ho shall be thy Lord."
The Ocriuun word for Lord Is "Herr"
und thut for fool Is "Nurr," The
printer's wife changed the "e" to "a"
and, In the crude typ of that period,
the capital "It" looked exactly like un
"N." The sentence consequently read
"He shall bu thy fool."
Many copies of the book got Into
circulation before the error was dis
covered. The ecclesiastical authori
ties were so enraged at what they con
sldereil the woman's Impiety that they
condemned her to the stake.
