Keokuk, Iowa December 28, 1915

"A sound national policy, per­mitting and encouraging the steady development of American shipping in the foreign trade of the United States, is rendered difficult by the public's lack of knowledge of the fundamentals of ocean transportation. When all the states touched upon the ocean, or had easy access to it through navigable rivers. questions of maritime navigation were readily understood by the whole nation. Later the gradual development of the great'inland regions offered native capital possibilities far greater than those of the maritime -trade and this, coupled with other reasons, eventually led to the al­most complete withdrawal of this nation from participation in the pursuit of ocean navigation. In the meantime our foreign com­merce increased enormously, but the carriage of sea-borne traffic was largely abandoned to the ship­ping of Great Britain, Norway, Germany, France and other conn-tries." Which causes the , Los Angeles

FARMER WHO MOVED TO TOWN. This is the story, aa told by Farm

and Fireside, of a farmer who sold his property to live in the city, be­cause his city friends "wore good clothes, had -money jingling in their pockets, went to the movies, belonged to clubs and enjoyed a yearly vaca­tion." Hp- found, however, that the: city man pays dearly for tnese lux­uries.

"We came to know," he said, "that it was just as hard for the city man to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning as it waa for the country man to get up at 5. Why so? Because he muBt not relax; he is ever on duty. He must smile at this person and that person. He .dares not notice anyone's peculiarities or oddities or unreason­ableness. The result is he must find his relaxation in the evening; there-' fore the family rarely gets to bed be­fore 10 or 11 o'clock, and 7 in the morning finds him just as sleepy and far less refreshed than 5 found him on the farm.

"We found going to work for some­body else every day in the year, ex­cept Sunday and perhaps a twor weeks' vacation, under somebody else as manager, didn't exactly suit jour-country spirit of freedom. We came to know that our friends saved scarcely a cent; and furthermore, one couldn't exactly see how they were extravagant. In the city it seems un­believably hard to separate luxuries from necessities."

CROSSING SAFETY. • • "The railroads of the United States,

through the American Railway asso­ciation. {iave undertaken a campaign^ for the. prevention of accidents a£? highway crossings," says the Railway? Age uazette in its current issue. "President Mudge, on the recommen­dation of the executive committee, has appointed a special committee, consisting of seven railroad officers, representing the railroads of the country territorially, to consider the entire question. The members of the committee are: james A. McCrea, general manager. Long Island, chair­man; J. Q. Van Winkle, assistant to the general manager, Cleveland, Cin­cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis; C. !>. Bardo, general manager, New York, New Haven & Hartford; L. E. Jeff­ries, general attorney* Southern; Howard Elliott, inspector of transpor­tation, San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake; W. }. Towne, assistant general manager, Chicago & Northwestern, and W. R. Scott, vice-president and general manager. Southern Pacific. This committee will present recom­mendations, after a thorough*investi­gation. for action to bring about a reduction of one of the most numer-

especially ous classes of railway casualties, aud one which is rapidly increasing in spite of the many millions that have been expended by the railroads for the elimination of grade crossings.

"The importance of the problem is indicated by the fact that in the last ten years for which the statistics are available the interstate commerce commission has reported a total of 9,479 persons killed and 21,917 injured by being struck or run over by cars or locomotives at highway crossings.

"The figures show an increase fair­ly consistent with the development of railway traffic, although the increase in the number of persons killed is less in proportion than the growth ot the railway business, but since 1909 there has . been a steady increase, un­affected by the falling off in traffic in I„A4. This is doubtless largely due to the increase in the use of automobiles, especially in rural, dlln trlcts, and this phase of the situa­tion will necessarily assume an im­portant place in the committee's in­vestigation. -

"The standard remedy of the pub­lic authorities for crossing" accidents is elevation or depression of the tracks—if tfi^ railroads can be made to stand the expense.- If there is a chance that the community may be required to share the cost of an im­provement made for its benefit, the zeal of the public officials for grade separation frequently wanes. The separation of grades as rapidly as practicable Is much to Jbe desired, but at an average cost of probably $50,000 per crossing, even the most affluent railroad corporation can afford to eliminate only a small part of its grade crossings. Complete separation ef grades would cost most roads more than they are worth, and in many places the expense is so great as to raise the question whether the same amount of money would not bring a' greater reduction of accidents., if ex­pended in other ways.

"Mr. McCrea, the chairman of the American Railway association com­

mittee, Is especially qualified for th$ position by reason of experience faltfc ed by him in prosecuting a vigorous campaign to instill safety-first 4deaa Into the motorists of Long Island. The committee can undoubtedly ac­complish some results well worth while by working along the lines fol­lowed by the Long Island and some other roads that have made special efforts to reduce crossings accidents.

"To what a large extent highway Crossing, accidents are due tocare­lessness is demonstrated by observa­tions made by the Southern Pacific of the actions of the drivers of 17,021 motor vehicles on approaching rail­road crossings in a number of widely separated localities. Of the total, 11,-836 drivers, or 69% percent, looked neither to right nor left before cross­ing the tracks; 2.7 percent looked only one way, and only 27.8 percent looked In both directions, while 3,-301, or 19.3 percent, ran over the crossing at a reckless rate of speed, and only 35 stopped before fcrosslng. Of 4,889 drivers, of teams, 39.4 per­cent looked in neither direction, 8V6 percent looked only one way, and only 52 percent looked in both direc­tions. Similar observations taken a year later at the same places, after tae road bad given a great deal of publicity to its efforts to reduce this kind of accidents and had appealed for the co-operation of local authori­ties and automobile clubB, showed a consideiable'improvement. -i ''As the country develops It Will be Necessary for the railways to con­tinue to, eliminate grade crossings as rapidly as they can, and the Increases of population and Industry that make such expenditures necessary should naturally tend to so increase earn­ings as to enable the roads to meet them, but meanwhile a great (Teal caxr be accomplished to make conditions safer if the roads can secure the in­terest and co-operation of the public 4ind ,pf ite representatives." w

—: -.ft. m ' BABY WEEK. 1916 is baby year. The facts about

American babies, the needs of Ameri­can babies, and America's responsi-j. bility to her babies will this year be known as never before, because the first week in March will be baby week throughout the country. . More than 400 communities repre-$enting,qyery_,state in the union are Already laying {heir plans for baby Week, according to the children's bureau of the United States depart­ment of labor, in order that during those spven days the needs of the babies mav be so- presented tbat^ all the parents in those communities will learn a little better, how t* care for their babies, and all the citizens will realize that hey have a* special obli­gation to safeguard the conditions surrounding babies. And it is confi­dently believed tyiose who are in­terested in this nation-wide baby week that he remaindef of the year will be marked by a strengthening of all community activities for saving babies' lives and giving them a bet­ter chance to grow to a healthy ma­turity.

The batyy week Idea originated In Chicago not qufte two years ago. Their New York had ^ baby, week, and Pittsburgh, and other cities. Such practical benefit has in each case re­sulted that the General Federation of Women's Clubs has undertaken to. promote this nation-wide observances. State health officials and national or* ganlzations interested in public health and child welfare have taken up the plan and In various ways are giving it not only their sanction but their active -co-operation. The extension divisions of the state universities have promised special assistance In interesting and helping baby weeks in rural communities.

The federal children's bureau be­lieves that baby week will give more parents a chance to learn the accept­ed principles of infant car?, and will awaken every American to his re­sponsibility for the deaths of the three hundred thousand babies who, according to the census estimates, die Jevery ' before they are twelve months old. Therefor* the children's bureau has prepared a special bulle­tin of practical suggestions for baby week campaigns, adapted to the vary­ing needs of communities of different types. Copies of this bulletin may be had free of charge from the chil­dren's bureau at Washington.

OWA'S COST mooo

Automobiles, Toys and Cash Were ^ ' Favorite Gifts According to the

Estimates Made From Mercantile Sources.

MANY CAES REGISTERED

Domestic Macje Goods Were In De-h msnd and Those With Foreign

Labels Were Not Mtosed. „ u e ^

M Pvdr-Nearly $15,000,000 was Invested in

Iowa for Christnias gifts, according to estimates made by business organize tions which keep In touch with trade conditions. Of this amount about $11.-500,000 was (jbqjended for presents which were handed out on Saturday and about $2,875,000 was given in cash—all of which will find its way to trade channels within the next ten days or two weeks, business men es­timate.

Automobiles were extensively used as gifts. If the registration of new cars at the office of W. S. Allen, sec­retary of state, ,1s any indication. Within the last ten days nearly 5,000 new cars were registered. More than 100 ner cars were Registered from Des Moines, of which manv were stated to be Christmas gifts.

Five Dollars Per Capita. Throughout the, state the estlmajn

of money spent per capita on Christ­mas gifts was $5, according to deal­ers. In the cities,, they say, the peo­ple spend more In Christmas celebra­tions than in the country. The estl* mate of the orban expenditures is be­tween $6 and $7.50 per capita. On this basis the Des Moines people spent between $600,000 and $750,000.

"In estimating the money spent on Christmas it is necessary to figure that many people give cash presents, in addition to the regular gifts," said Sidney Mandelbaum. "All of thf* money ia yet to be expended. It will be useJ during the next ten days.' It seems to me „ that a fair average toi the state would be $5 per capita with 25 percent more to represent the money gifts."

Iowa' Trade Brjsk. Merchants all over the state re­

port holiday trade to have come up to expectations. Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, Marshalltown, Ot-tumwa and other centers bad a big trade. In the vicinity of Des Moines —Ames, Grlnneli, Nevada, Winterset. Newton, Indlanola, Knoxville, Fort Dodge, Oskaloosa, Boone and other places, the Christinas expenditures were unusually large, leaders say. There was the usual buying in the river cities of the state—Clinton, Du­buque. Davenport, Muscatine, Burling tun, Fort Madison, Council Bluffs. Kec'kuk and Sioux City.

Some of the cities reported heavy sales of toys so that the stocks were practically exhausted by ChTistmas eve. The material forms of gifts features the giving over the state; according to the dealers' statements. These included articles of furniture. clothing, furs, afctos and jewelry. *

American Goods Satisfy. r The absence of . imported novelties,

gloves and „laces which usually art offered the holiday trade, was not noticed by Iowa buyers, the dealers say. The stocks were large and offer­ed such a wide range of selection for gifts that the buying public was per­fectly satisfied with the American goods. Dealers say this year Christ­mas was the closest to being a purely American Christmas that the country has ever known.

"The public was satisfied with the goods offered this year," said one' dealer. "Apparently the buyers did rot notice that the stores were not offering some of the things that usual­ly are Imported. Almost everything sold this year was made in America. Our manufacturers are beginning to make spme of the things for which we have depended on Europe. It is probable that American firms will go into this more extensively in the future—It .takes time to develop new industries. The merchants always push American goods in preference to, imported articles. In the past we have had to take some of the Euro­pean goods because we did not make them In America."
