JUNK 17. 1919 1 J " MOKE KILLED BY All the railroads comprising the NortliwCHlcrn and Central Western Regions, consisting of llu railroads with nearly 150,000 miles of track, aro staging what Is known us a "No Accident Week" from Juno 221 -to 28th Inclusive. Tho United States railroad admin istration will endeavor to operato theso railroad systems during that week without any accident of any kind. ' Tho employes will cooperate and do all they can to avoid Injuring any one, but In turn they ask for the co operation of the public. Don't try to steal a ride on a train, you may tall under or between cars and bo ground to dUh. If you are a passenger in a train don't put heavy articles in tho over head racks above you, or above other passengers as vibration of the car may cause it to tall and Injure party underneath. Avoid putting them in the aisles. When you -walk through tho aisle don't stumblo on a suitcase or ladder which may be In the aisle. Be careful in closing" doors so they won't mash your hand or finger. Do not try to raise or lower a win dow, you may get a mashed finger. Ask the train men to do this tor you. In getting on or off a train, first wait till It comes to a full Btop, then be sure you won't make a misstep and sprain your ankle by fall otherwise. Do not at any time stand on or near the track at stations or else where. Do not stand in vestibules between cars when train is moving. In driving over a crossing, be sure your way is clear. One miscalcula tion may cause your death. Stop, look and listen, be safe, don't take a chance as the cemeteries now have a much greater population of chance takers by about 100 per cent than they should have.. Be sure your car is in good condition as to oil supply, steering gear, running- gear and brakes, so you will not stall on the track at a critical time.

June 17.- "Distinguished collese," is the title civen the Oreeon Agricultural college bv the war department for the thiru time because of the tvne of military work done in the institution, it was announced today. Onlv 10 colleges and universities of the country re ceive this distinction.

Anril 1", vin Alliens, iinv fl. (Hv Mail.) This (own nml tin1 hills about are f nl of revolutionists who aro si hom inir to lint King Nicholas bark on tho throne of Montenegro. The UovnliMs and Nationalists of Montrnoi'ro do not take klmllv to the idea of their little country's inclusion in tho Jugo slav state. The American dougliliovs who an' bringing American food into Monte negro for the food mission and the American Hod t'ros ltalkan com mission are well liked and trusted hv the Montenegrins who suspect the motives of the troops of other nations in the country. The Montenegrin, however, is much like the Kentucky mountaineer of old. lie dislikes intrusion of nnv sort and shots have been Prod at the numerous power stations which operate the ca ble triumvnv bv which the American food is swung through the -nir .from t'nttaro to Cettinie. The instinct of the Montenegr ns - to preserve their aloofness from the world dies hard. Hitherto An erienn flour brought in bv the food fission and the Kcd Cross had to be laboriously carried over the l-oochen road in oxcarts. Uo lentlv, however, the Americans nut the line from I'attaro up to the ton of tliOtlirst pass iu good order so thai it is now used bv the Ued Cross for the transport of its goods ver the first and worst stage of the iournev. Ceteinie recently was the scene of a revolution to put Nicholas bark on the throne and thereby prevent Montenegro from becoming part of the Jugo-Sluv state. It was a fail ure because some of Uncle Sam s doughhovs marched hp from t'attaro and neither side cared to tackle the Americans. The revolnt;onarv force of two hundred nml fortv men and their wo men laid down their arms and were I put to work bv the American lied Cross. The revolutionists including the women are now unloading flour and food for their starving relatives in the mountains. The women are even harder workers than the men. During the war thev operated machine guns, carried up ammunition' , and cooked for their fighters. Now that peace has come thev have reverted to their old duties of burden carriers.
