Yet this is ! the 1925 record reported by the Southern Pacific Lines. 1 Six flagmen were run down while trying to warn motor- I ists. Some extra bold drivers had the temerity even to | try to push trains off the tracks. A few of them, too | proud to pick on one end of a train, which is the right way if you are making a business of it, tore into cars in the middle of trains. This is getting altogether too ambitious. The only way to save spich drivers from their own driving is to eliminate grade crossings or else deny them the right to drive. And speaking of grade crossings, the railroads claim that if all the grade crossngs were eliminated it would wipe out but ten per cent of their auto accidents. Maybe so, but at least the elimination of grade crossings would save the nerves and the time of hundreds of thousands of motorists who are too careful or too sane to try to crash crossing gates or to beat trains on their own tracks.—October Sunset. SCIENCE AIDS FARMER In a statement just issued by the departm ent of Agri culture is given an outline of the achievements of gov ernment scientists in behalf of the farmers during the past fifty years. Some of the things accomplished after patient investigation and research are now so common place as to pass unnotied. During the past half century science has made it pos sible to increase crop and livestock yields, and to save crops and animals which otherwise would nave been de stroyed. The discovery that Texas fever in cattle was transmitted by the cattle tick is one instance; The dis- HE I MU covery of a serum and virus treatment for hog cholera 11 LflLllI I UUnllU is another. While searching for a means of ridding animals of internal parasites, a cure for hookworm in humans was found. The discovery was also made that yellow fever and malaria are transmitted only by mo DR.
