TRAIX KILLS FOUR Box Cars Prevent Party From Seeing Locomotive. Lima, Ohio, Dec. 24.?Two men and two women were killed here tonight when the Broadway Limited, fast eastbound Pennsylvania passenger train, struck their automobile at the Charles Street crossing. The dead are: Mrs. Julius Roessner, 25, and j Miss Zelma Binkley, both of Lima, land Otto Steele, 34, and Frank Wilson, 32, of Piqua. A string of box cars standing near the crossing was said to have prevented the party's seeing the train, whioh was late and said to have been running at a high rate of speed. Tf TT1_ a TT ner ivmu nuan. The dear old Scotchman tramped miles over the hills to get a bottle of medicine for a small boy Who was ill in her remote village. When she had described the symptoms, the doctor set about preparing the mixture, one ingredient of which was a poison which could be administered only in the smallest quantities. She watched him pouring it out with the utmost care into the measuring glass. He poured a little from the bottle, held the glass up to the light, and then put in a fewmore drops. "Ah, doctor," she said reproachfully, "you needna be sae stingy. Remember, it's for a puir wee orphan laddie."?the Argonaut (San Francisco). Long Distance. A railway employe was in the witness box, and was being cross-examined by a very self-important young lawyer about a case which had resulted in a damage suit as a consequence of an accident on the railroad. "You say that you saw this man fall from the train?" said the lawyer. "I saw him fall, yes," replied the railway man. "Yet it was night time," insisted the lawyer. "And you were at one end of the train and the man was at the other. Do you expect an intelligent jury to believe such a yarn? How far can you see at night?" "About a million miles, I think." replied the railway man. "I can see the moon. How far is that?" The lawyer retired?Houston Post. a ioi ? France is sending a military mission of five officers to the United States for the purpose of advancing good will between the two countries. HIKING DOWN THE LONG BROWN PATH Vacationists With Shelter Tent# and Tin Cow Learning to Walk All Over Again. Oh! It's not the pack that you carry oa your back Nor the rifle on vour shoulder. Nor the five inch crust of khaki-colored dust That makes you feel your limbs are growing: older; And it's not the hike on the hard turnpike That drives away your smile, Nor the socks of sisters that raise the blooming blisters? It's the last long mile. ?Plattsburgh Marching Song. Stringing out from the suburban transit terminals of New York every Sunday and holiday goes the army of khaki-clad hikers. There may be an automobile for every twenty of the country's population, but a host of city folks disprove the theory of a future leg-enfeebled citizenry and are learning to walk all over again. To the more casual minded, the hike Is just exercise, but to those who catch its real significance the hike means a great deal more. It is the cheapest form of recreation and therefore appeals to those living In crowded districts and unable to avail themselves of the more expensive amusements. And these people, be It noted, are Just those the country is so anxious to have spread out and settled in the farming sections. The hike, indeed, has possibilities as a real starter for the "back to the farm" movement. Doughboy and Boy 8cout Lead Way Just a brief survey of the rollicking groups which move off from the out? t?i i J ? lying terminals on uunuaya cstair llshes a few general types. There Is the ex-service man and his friends who will hear from him the story of more serious excursions on the muddy roads of France. He tightens a strap here and another there on the blanket roll adjustment or the "shelter half," In which the commissary is packed for the mid-day feast by the roadside. Expert directions come from him on the method of slinging the pack so It will not feel so heavy or interfere with the free body movement. He will pass along the information gained In his army days, of how that same pack wps evolved after numerous experiments to find the easiest way of carrying the heaviest load. With results he now compliments, but which he characterized when a doughboy as a ublankety-blank total failure." Then there are the boy scout parties, adept at everything pertaining to "shanks mare" traveling and woodcraft The ex-service man and the boy scout are pioneers in the hiking game. Listen to one of them right off the train and making ready for a twelve mile jaunt: "Get that canteen over to the side, Jimmie, and It won't keep bouncing off your leg every step. Is it filled? Well, then, TTrtt rtrinlr How about the eats? Let's check 'em off. You got the spuds, Bill; the bacon Jimmie. Who has tht coffee and the Borden tin cow?" "Right here" announces a freckled comrade of the road, patting his knapsack. "Snitched the mocha and tht can of milk when Sis wasn't looking." "Well, then, let's go!" snaps the commander of the expedition. This party is traveling light for real distance. Another must expect to make a shorter hitch or else be counting greatly on its power of endurance. Perhaps the camp is not far off because the group is equipped for an over-night stay with heavy blanket rolls, hatches, lanterns, canvas waterpails, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots, new fangled firestand, etc., etc. The blankets are laid out for a better packing of the bags .and cans of food. When the party commences to load np the members bristle all over with camp tools and equipment. Back to the Farm The veteran from the crowded city tenement has found a new territory to roam and one almost unknown to his associates. He is introducing them to this newly discovered land and teaching them how to be independent of any transportation but their own good legs and of any subsistence but what they can carry and prepare. "Walk, and cook your own," is his motto. Who will say the leaven thus fermenting in the city crowds will not bear fruit in a keener appreciation of country delights, especially as these are added to by increased comforts! on the farm. With his radio hitched up, the farmer listens in on the best entertainment the country has to offer. Modern home devices wipe our many hardships formerly Imposed upon isolated dwellers. There is, in short, a rapid cutting down of the differential between farm and city life. In the meantime, knowledge must precede a true appreciation of what the country holds, and this is what the hike supplies. There is more appeal in one apple tree in blossom than In reams of printed matter put out to tnrtnpp tVip r-iti'/Pn of the City tO change his abode to the country. The | hikers constitute a growing army, equipped with bacon, spuds, coffee and tin cow for merely a day's outing hut nevertheless seeing sights that make I hem yearn to he among them all the time. It is not too much tc assume that the army may one daj recruit the open piaces. II 111111il1111111111111111f1111111111111111111 II! ThsEvergreenTree ___ By Christopher G. Hazard I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 111 I (?, 1922, Western Newspaper I'nion.) I T*HE servants had retired and left ^ the old lady alone. She sat before the decorated and lighted tree , :hat was burdened with gifts that leemed to have no destinations. For iBs. Str v- was long past the wanting 5f sifts and no companions, young or )ld, sat with her, because she wished , :o be alone with her memories, j She was not as alone as she seemed ; to be, for, in the great chair opposite j to hers memory placed the fairy figure af the child who had glanced and ! 3anced about the house and under the Christmas tree of long ago. Beside tier there sat one who seemed to lay hies Vionrl q rrotn nnnn Vi or* ?n Vt a-nr\TT I Jio UUUV4 ufeUiA* U^/V*4 "VlkJ 14* and satisfied affection, while there bent over her the strong and tender pouth who was once her hope for later pears. Again the old house seemed full of joy, and noisy merriment drove : out the deathly stillness, while the tree that is always green spoke of the Immortality of happiness. | The next day, when the servants dismantled the evergreen tree, it was found that every gift was marked j with a name, and they were busy that Christmas morning in distributing new j happiness about the neighborhood. | New Year's | | in Egypt I ! JjC F A group of people were ship| JJ wrecked or otherwise cast upon their own resources and were to lose l track of the date they would have no easy means of finding it again. Our year is an artificial one, and so must be made by careful study in well equipped observatories. Without precise instruments it would be difficult to fix the day when the new year be? gins. TVia on/Honf TTltrvrktlanc AYT>AripnPA<l "i"-""*"' f ? mo such difficulty. Their year, from which ours is derived, had a perfectly matural beginning. It always commenced on the day when Sirius and the sun rose together. The temples of Egypt were really observatories, built to face this or that star as It rose. They were more or >ess elaborate, but all had as their fundamental plan a long narrow passage down which the star's rays came, and a dark chamber at the far end where the priest made the observation and where the image was kept. The beginning of the new year was an important event. We can picture the scene as the priests, followed by the scribes, lawyers, merchants, and the curious crowd, wind their way up to the temple in the first streaks of dawn, and take their appointed places. As daylight comes on the interest of everyone is centered on two groups. The priests on the roof are straining their eyes for the first glimpse of the coming sun, while those down in the dark chamber are watching for Sirius. Soldiers are stationed around the temple to keep the crowd silent and to prevent stragglers from crossing the path of the star's rays In front of the temple door at the critical moment. a chmit hnrsts from those on the roof as the sun tops the horizon. The observers below watch their water clocks carefully now as the minutes are told off, and strain their eyes at the narrow opening where Sirius is to shine. In a few moments Sirius itself flashes into view, and the new year has begun. The Egyptians discovered that the year has an extra quarter of a day In It. They did it by noting that on some years Sirius and the sun rose almost together, while on others there was an appreciable difference In time, and that these changes repeated themselves every five years. They found the length of the year to within 11 minutes of its true value, which was a remarkable thing to do with the primitive appliances they had at hand. NEW YEAR'S THEN AND NOW. I As long as people can remember, there have been New Year parties. The old Romans gave theirs in honor rwf Tonus the two-faced eod. One face looked back at the old, spent year, and one face looked forward to the new, fresh year. They gave presents to him and to each other with the hope that the new year would be food to them. Some of the people who lived long ago waited until the end of March to celebrate the New Year, since that was the time that the trees and grass began new life. 1 r.n.i NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS "Are you making any good resolutions for New Year's Day?" "No, I haven't had time to break all my last New Year's ones yet." A GOOD RESOLUTION. A good resolution is the offspring of remorse and regret, who were wedded by experience. THE LABOR AGENT. Commissioner Stanley of the Georgia Department of Commerce and Labor is asking the co-operation of the public to the end that immigra- ^ tion agents do not be permitted to unlawfully operate in the state. They are at work, under cover and they are responsible, in great extent, for the fact that so many negroes are leaving Georgia for the North. Before a labor agent can lawfully operate, he must: First?Pay the tax collector in each county where he operates a tax of $1,000.00. Second?Register with the Ordinary. Third?Secure a license from the Department of Commerce and Labor. At the present time there is not a labor agent in the State authorized to do business. Even if a person wishes to secure labor for his own use outside of the State be must first . obtain a permit from this Department. In the absence of such a permit he can be prosecuted as for a misdemeanor. The commissioner says: * 4 "I have brought this matter to the \ attention of the Tax Collectors, the Sheriffs. Chiefs of Police. Countv De monstration Agents, Canning Agents, Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, and I have also written a letter to each judge in the State, asking that he specifically charge the grand jury in each of the counties of his circuit with reference to this law. Officials of this Department have visted and are visiting the various counties in the State in the effort to stop the exodus. Bailiffs, constables, policemen, sheriffs and deputy sheriffs can put a stop to the operation of these labor agents if they go at it vigorously. Georgia is a big state and unless help is secured from each locality the work of this Department will be in vain. " ,'f| "I would be glad if you will aid in creating a sentiment that will arouse all of the citizens to watch diligently, and vigorously and land these labor or emigrant agents on the chaingang. We have found that it is a favorite method of procedure for these agents to send threatening letters to certain negroes and in a day or two approach such parties and offer them a position :':Ms in another state. These agents, very largely, work in the country and small towns and all the people must be alert in detecting and reporting to the proper authorities these agents. You can aid in arousing public sentiment and I trust that you will have ? no hesitancy in doing so. Unless something is done a bad condition * next year is 'going to prevail upon the * farms." A person has the right to go away from Georgia?to go to some other state or to some other country? whenever he or she pleases. But we have no right to let oily tongued - m agents come into the state, and, by false statements and fraudulent promises, induce ignorant people to leave here. Georgia and the SoutJh owe it to the negroes to protect them from these labor agents. Few negroes , go away from the South who do not, as a result, suffer; and once they leave this section they are always anxious to again return to their old homes.?The Augusta Chronicle. Such is Man.
