The grade crosflingB must go and
they will be eliminated wherever poe-
lbie on Uie roads of the federal aid
highway system, which will be built as
a result of the passage of the federal
highway act. Wheu the roads which
form the primary or Interstate system
are constructed, no grade crossing will
be allowed to remain that It Is at all
practicable to avoid. Every effort will
be made to make the roads of the sec
ondary system equally safe, but in
this case It 1b recognized that elimina
tion may not be practicable in all
caseB at thin time.
Policy Meets Approval,
In making this announcement the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, under
whose supervision the fund Is allotted
and construction Is undertaken, Is put
ting into effect a policy which It has
long advocated In principle, and whose
adoption It has urged with increasing
effectiveness upon state highway offi
cials for some time past The policy

the part of the states, and the Amer

heart efforts to co-operate to eliminate
grade crossings on new construction.

ing carriers already having lent cheer
ful aid in avoiding the construction of
more grade crossings.
Instead of grade crossings there will
be constructed, wherever possible, Id
the future either a bridge or an un
derpass where roadway and railway
Intersect. Important roads, which now
cross and recross railroad lines
grades, hereafter will be located entire
ly on one side of the railroad, even
though to do so may Increase the coat
of construction.
Where crossings are unavoidable, or
where local Interests Justify construc
tion of highways to cross railroad
lines, the road will be so located as to
pass over the track or under It In
most Instances of this sort the rail
roads bear one-half of the cost of
building the bridge or underpass.
Saving of Human Lives.
The prime object of the depart
ment's policy to eliminate grade cross
ings on federal-aid roads is the sav
ing of human Uvea, This policy prob
ably will involve Increased expense of
construction In the case of some roads,
but It is believed this Is Justified by
the saving of Ufa. Daring the three
yean ending with 1920, according to
the best records available at the de
partment, " 8,686 Uvea were lost at
grade crossings In the United States
and 10,644 persons were Injured.

ERI(S0N'S GARAGE
Business Is better thlB season
with the Otto Erickaon Company.
Since the first of April they have
1 801(1 14 tractors equipped with plow
- aa dl8c "arrows; three trucks; five
, aenans; three coupes; seven tour-

season for FordB has scarcely begun.
All that Henry Ford needs to do
Is tb get a hustler like Otto in every
county and there soon would be
nothing In use but Fords. The only
drawback to that which we can see
Is that the Ford factories would
Boon be swamped with orders and
then everyone would have to wait
for his new Ford.

WOMAN BREAKS RKPORD BAN
FRANCISCO TO PORTLAND
Mrs. Kathleen Ayres Is at grea
booster for gasoline service of the
Standard Oil Co. Mrs. Ayres Is the
woman who last week broke the San
Francisco-Portland record by pilot
ing her four cylinder Bulck Coupe
between these cities In 22 hours and
43 minutes. Her time cut down
the best previous motor car record
by 3 hours and 8 minutes, and best
ed the Southern Pacific's crack train
The Shasta," by 6 hours, 47 rain
utes.
Mrs Ayres, in describing her rec
ord-beatlng run, was particularly
generous in her praise of the Stand
ard Oil Company s Service along the
road. Stops were made at Corn
ing and Rosehurg for Red Crown
and Zerolene, and the prompt at
tention given by the attendants cut
many minutes off the running time.
"And minutes are vauable little
thlnga, especially In establishing
records," said Mrs. Ayres.
The Buick's record Is offlcfal in
every respect, as the Coupe ad Its
nervy little driver were checked out
of San Francisco and in at Portland
Francisco June 22nd, 23rd, and
24th. She made the trip by way of
showing that the women of today
can keep pace with the men.

HOW NOT TO CATCH COLD AND HOW TO MINI.

New Vork.
EVKUVBOUV knows whm a cold is by Its effects, but perhaps not everybody
knows tlmt It Is due to a genu sometimes culled uilcrococcus-caurr hulls.
We may get this germ from the careless eougher, sneewr, or excited talker
through tiny droplets or sprays. The cold may develop at once, or It Is quite
possible that we also carry the genua for soiuu time within us. When our
Bystem Ib rendered less resistant by chills, overeating, or Intemperate acts
of some kind or other, or by being badly nourished or overworked these)
germs have a chance to multiply and then produce the symptoms of a cold.
To prevent Infection, It is of course best to avoid the close proximity
of a careless sneexer, cone her, spltter, or excited talker who expel Is small
particles of saliva (droplets) when speaking, if one S oa fn miliar term
with the Individual, he can advise i-uutlon such as sueening or coughing la
handkerchief, or at least holding the htind before the mouth during a
so-called dry cough, which Is In reality never dry, for droplets art expelled
whenever there Is a cough,
The Individual who expectorates should, of course, always try to deposit his
sputum In a receptacle (spittoon, cheese-cloth, or luimikorchieO when Indoors
and In the gutter when out-of -doors. In crowded assemblies, street cars and
subways, the dangers of becoming infected by others with the catarrh germs of
course always exists.
What can we do to protect ourselves by making our system less sus
ceptible when we are exposed? It must be remembered that when we are Is
good heulth, the gerum of a cold coming from one afflicted with the disease
have little effect on us, nor will those which may lurk within us have much
chance to multiply and do harm. In the healthy Individual the, white blood
corpuscles In our blood stream tuke care of the invading microbe. They
swallow It; hence the name "phagocytes," Thns the best way to protect
oueself from catching cold Is to keep In the best physical condition.
In order to make the body resistant to contracting colds, breathe as much
good, pure air us possible all the time, breathing quietly and deeply, particu
larly when out-of-doors. When Indoors try to bo la a well ventilated room.
Whenever convenient, take special hicnthlug exercise every hour or two.
raising and rolling the shoulders upward ami backward during the act of a
slow and deep Inhalation, remitting the air for about 6 seconds while holding
the shoulders backward, then exhaling a little more rapidly than It took for
the Inhalation, during which act the shoulders move forward and downward.
Accustom the body to a dully application of co'd water in tha form of a
plunge, shower bath, or a cold aiKinge. One unaccustomed to the use of coldi
water must of course begin gradually. This cun best be done by standing!
in water at a temperature of about lUo' P. and squeezing out a sponge soaked
In cold water at'a temperature of STi over the back or the neck, In front of to
neck, and over the left and right shoulder, so that the wholt body receive'
the ablution, the head remaining dry. Should the Individual not react, thati
Is to say, feel warm after the bath, ha should return to a warm bed for a fewt
momenta, In a few days reduce the temperature of the cold wutar to 80"
then to 75, until be comes down gradually to 46', which la tha averags
