Faults of Speech to Be Fought at Camp Curtin Prof. Brehm. in a conference with the English department of thie Camp Curtin Junior High School, formed the department into two committees, dramatic and story telling. The mem bers of the dramatic committee are: Samuel Wilson, Miss Carrie Fairies, Miss Elda Stambaugh, Miss Cather ine Aumiller. The committee on story telling includes: Miss Annie Whitmeyer, Miss E. May Tittle, Miss Grace McLaughlinrMiss Rath Brum baugh, Miss Lois Booker. These joint committees will co-operate with the students requested to give the program numbers during the parent teacher and chapel exercises of "Better Speech Week." The school will also designate it self as a "Do Without Club." Each home room is to be a part of this patriotic English organization. The "Do Without Club" vizualizes the mental attitude of the students to ward their national language. To give up such favorite express ions as "Y," "Say, listen," "Naw," to quit swallowing "g," will be funda mental to the movement. During the home room activities periods of "Better Speech Week," November 2-8, spcial efforts will be made by the students in informal discussions to find substitutes for unpatriotic speech, for example, "Sure!" "Umhum." Through the year, a committee ap pointed by each teacher will make confidential reports of errors heard. The common errors will be listed and given to the home room teachers.

INTERESTING RAILROAD NEWS RAILROAD GOAL—NO ACCIDENTS NATIONAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT PREVENTION DRIVE Our fjf , Goal MO AC CI DENTS ) Phy —o A October* i Suggested by courtesy of Collier* S y The National Weekly. ACCIDENT REPORTS SHOW DECREASE OVER LAST YEAR; RESULTS FOR THREE DAYS "The safety first idea will not bear its full fruit as long as It is con fined to the men who operate the railroads. The public must do its share, as it is not doing now. Evidence of this is seen almost daily in the deplorable tragedies which are occurring on grade crossings throughout Ohio and adjoining States. Such headlines as "Entire" Family Wiped Out When Train Hits Auto," or "Young Woman and Her Escort Killed at Grade Crossing,are to be seen with distress ing frequency in the daily press. Statistics show that while accidents are decreasing In the actual op eration of trains, and in other railroad activities, there has been an increase in the number of human beings maimed and killed who either had no business along the tracks, or who were careless afc crossings. The peculiar and deadly impulse which prompts persons to "boat the train over the crossing," born in a second, is executed often with tragic results. Motor cars are such great time-savers in getting over the country that half a minute lost in playing safe on the near side of a railroad crossing is of very little consequence. But this half minutes seems suddenly to become to the motorist the most important of the whole day; to save it he places In Jeopardy his own life and the lives de pending upon his judgment.. It is a foolish and criminal habit, and It is bringing an ever-increasing toll of death and sorrow."—Cincin nati Times-Star. That good results are coming, through the Nation-wide No Accident Drive is shown in the ..daily reports from the railroads in this vicinity.
