With the opening of schools this month thousands of children will itart their daily trips to and from the consolidated schools by motor bus. In order that these children may meet with no mishap, and above all, that they shall not be subjected to danger at railroad crossings, it should be the first iuty of their parents and of those in authority, to see that the driv ers of the school buses are reliable men of mature years, long experi ence and good judgment. Investigation of . an accident which occurred last winter, brought out the fact that the driver of the bus was an eighteen year old boy who had not taken ordinary pre cautions to make sure no train was coming before crossing the rail road track. In some cases the driver is one of the older school children; in others, the helper at the garage of the person to whom the contract is let. A tremendous responsibility rests upon these drivers. They are en trusted with 4he safety of as many as 20 or 30 children. The trip to and from the school must be made iri all kinds of weather. When it is raining there is a temptation to put up storm curtains which pre vent the driver from having a clear view . on either side. The desire to be on time for school, or to hurry home afterwards, leads to a tendency to take chances that are little short of criminal. Unless the driver of the school bus is fully aware of' his respon sibility and fully capable of. meet>- ing any emergency which may ar ise, accidents are likely to happen which will strike at the heart of every family with children of school age. To‘guard against the possibility of such a catastrophe every known safety measure should be enforced. The greatest care should be taken to see that the buses are in good mechanical condition and frequent inspections for this purpose should be made by the proper authorities. The selection of the driver shpuld not be left to the person to whom’ the contract for providing trans portation is let, if this method is used. While he should be required to demonstrate his ability to han<$e the bus that is used, this is only one qualification to be taken into account, and his reputation for steadiness and good judgment should be the determining factor. Nb school boy, garage helper or village loafer should be chosen for the job merely because he can op erate the bus and will do so at lit tle cost. The person chosen should be placed under bond for compli ance with all state laws and with such regulations as the local com missioners shall put into effect re garding the transportation of school children. Above all things drivers of school buses should be required to stop before crossing a railroad track. No matter how much time may be lost, no matter how stormy the weather, no matter whether no train is due, the school bus should be stopped at every crossing and | the driver should be required to ! make sure that no train is coming. | The observance of this simple rule will do away with disastrous ac cidents at railroad crossings. Every time this precaution is omitted there is a chance that ev ery child in the bus may be killed or maimed. It is too late after such an accident, to say, “I didn’t think a train was coming” or ‘T didn’t see or hear a train,” or “No train was due.” The only w'ay is to stop and | make sure. • It takes a sober minded, reliable man, with a full realization of his responsibility to do this day in arid 1 day out. But such a man is the. only kind that thinking parents , should entrust with the lives * of! their children. (Printed Originally September i 15th, 1924.

Peggy Dancan’s Feat Scientists gathered In Cincinnati are told that new methods of reju venation, better than the yoronoff “gland grafting,” have been discov ered. Compounds made of mysterious “hormones” will do the work, some “hormones” being taken from glands that could never be transplanted. The old may be made to live a lit tle longer, but science will never dis-. cover anything better than friendly death, which removes men worn out, and makes room for new energy. The learned Voronoflf, who, by the use of monkey glands, extends the lives of old men, says: “All Ameri cans are dead at fifty.” He does not mean that they actually die, but that they are worn out at fifty, and might as well be dead. There is no doubt that men in America wear out early. Their eyes grow dim, hair white, step slow and knees stiff, too early. But they get things dome, which Is more Important than remaining young. In the Argentine, few killed, many wounded and new fighting threatened. Airplanes guard important points, and Irigoyen, late President, is locked up, inaccessible. The cable is censored, lack of employment puts many in the streets that would otherwise he at work. A serious situation may de velop. Irigoyen. who used to denounce the Monroe Doctrine, may be changing his mind. If there were no Monroe Doctrine this would he an excellent time for some European »*r Asiatic power to arrive, saying: “With your kind per mission, we shall take charge.” That won’t he done with Uncle 29nm*s Monroe warning posted up. Doctor HcyL deep and genuine sci entist of the bureau of standards, is constructing a device to “make the fourth dimension visible to the eye of the average man.” He will not suc ceed. because he himself cannot imag ine the fourth dimension except as a mathematical theory. His contrivance thus far looks ‘Mike a ball of pop corn.” The fourth, fifth, sixth and otoer dimensions that are suggested seem to the ordinary man more like a ball of “poppy cock.” Doctor Heyl has done something more interesting than making men try to imagine what they cannot Imagine. He has actually weighed the earth on which we stand. I? you want to know how heavy it Is, write down the figures 6,592, fol lowed. by eighteen zeros. The earth is about as heavy as though made of solid steel, and it is Interesting to reflect that that appall ing weight, on which we'•live. Iloats always In time around the sun. through the ether, if the ether really exists, which is an unsettled question. Peggy Duncan, a powerful nine teen-year-old girl from South Africa, h&s conquered the English channel, making the swim in sixteen hours fif teen minutes, but failing to heat Gei^ trude Ederle’s record. Miss Ederle can tell the young girl from South Africa that swimming the channel does not pay. You lose your hearing In the cold water, and the world soon loses its recollection of you. Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock exchange, says the country is getting back on a firm busi ness basis, and that the stock ex change was in no way responsible for the slump, unemployment, etc. The tatter statement is sound. The stock exchange and the ticker reflect, but do not create, conditions. The wave of stock gambling, wasting the time of able men and scattering the money of fools, caused trouble, but that is not the fault of the exchange. Marconi believes that radio waves will travel off milions of miles through .space. If the sun can send rays of light through 93,000,000 miles of space, there is ho reason why radio waves shouldn’t go ns far in, the other di rection. fl- • This .oyfiht to mean that we shall talk to ,tne other planets soon, if they have dny inhabitants able to talk.

When called to go out from his own country and kindred, Abraham be lieved God and obeyed his coptnand. True faith is proved by unquestioned obedience. Lesson for July 13. Jacob, a crafty schemer, through discipline at God’s . hands, became Israel, a prince with God. Before he •could enter the'. Promised Lriiid a change must take place. Self-will must be broken before there can be confi dence .iu God. J Lesson for July 20. Moses, educated first at Ids moth er’s knee and then at Pharaoh's court, was forced to flee from Egypt be cause of a premature effort to deliver the enslaved people. Forty years of training In the wilderness was neces sary before he was ready to bear God’s call. Lesson for July 27. In the time of national emergency, there being no man to judge Israel, Pdborah was called to take this place. God bestows his grace upon whomso ever he will, regardless of sex. Lesson for August 3. Ruth chose to cast her lot with God’s people. This choice brought her not only salvation hut earthly bless ings. Ruth’s relationship to Naomi shows the vital fellowship centered in the God of Israel. National preju dices, hatred, and strife di^feppear on the part of those who are united in Jesus Christ. Lssson for August 10. Hannah asked God to give her a son. promising to dedicate him to God’s service. God heard her prayer and she named her son Samuel, which means “asked of God.” Samuel in his tender years was given to God, and he rendered a distinguished service for many years. Lesson for August 17. Saul was a man of fine gifts and had a great opportunity, but made a dismal failure because his heart was hot right toward God. He had more concern for his own honor and welfare than for the glory of God. God Is more concerned with having his com mands obeyed than he Is with the offer lug of sacrifices. Locaon for August 24. Friendship between David and Jona than has been Immortalized. This friendship was unique In that it took place between two men of rival in terests. Jonathan was the natural heir to the throne, but David was God’s choice. Jonathan knew this and mag nanimously waived his rights. Lesson for August 31. Amos, a humble herdsman, was called from his life as God’s prophet to stand before the king. He was not a prophet by succession nor was he trained in the schools. God selects his servants from even the humblest walks of life. Lesson for September 7. Josiah, the young king, was loyal to God. Two wicked kings had pre ceded him. during whose reigns God’s law was lost. God put it into his heart to Inaugurate a reformation, and in the process of restoring tin* tem pie. ihe law was found. When it was read before him. the king rent his clothes, and proceeded to institute his reforms on the basis of God’s word. Lesson for September 14. Jeremiah, having heard God’s call In his early years, zealously carried on hU ministry. Me called upon indi vidua Is to face their responsibility l»e fore God. assuring them that the.v would not he judged on the basis ol racial heritage. Every man shall give an account of himself to God. Lesson for September 21. Jonah, a Jew, was called tojpreaeh repentance to a Gentile city. He sought to escape his responsibility by fleeing to Tarshish. God prepared a fish to swallow him. ^’hls was the means of his chastisement and return to his own land. After chastisement he was recommissioned. At his preaching the city repented, puttfhg on their sackcloth and ashes. God Is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
