He drove over it every day at almost exactly the same hour ajidjjninute. He never met a train l|iere before, and that old monster familiarity bred contempt for possible accident hazards. But we're in a war and far more trains are running than in peacetime. It's "train time" at crossings much more frequently. Just before he lost his life/ this driver drove onto the crossing in the path of a freight train. The accident,, occurred in daylight and the view of the truck driver was unobstructed. The train wtw delayed two hours. For safety's sake, figure 'that it's train time all the time at all grade crossings. The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to stop these accidents, which every day delay 38 train3 a total of 22 tours--a damaging blow to the nation's war transportation efforts. Driver-carelessness is the cause of elr.o.'t all rjrocle croa&ing accidents according to the Council. To help win the war and to save yourself and others needless suffering, the Council asks you to be sure the track is clear before jkh* start to cross. iWNU m* "I • Corpsmen - , I ItaVal medical men (called £#fps- ' men) play important roles in all marine expeditions.

Her young daughter, who has had all the. advantages of a good home and devoted parents, has grown wild, unreasonable and headstrong. Without a doubt she is doomed to the greatest misery, once her little "fling" is over, unless something can be done to keep her from wasting her precious youth, then spending the rest of her hopeless life in vain regret. ^ (Aj, c^A^iir"iCia',r it: all rJ** ' "Betty-Lou wan not yet fourteen when the came home to breakfast one morning bedraggled and exhausted, having danced all night at the country club and various night clubs." By KATHLEEN NORRIS T USED to be the boys who sowed the wild oats and the girls who stayed home," writes a heartbroken mother fcrom a suburb near Toledo. "But in these days it seems to be the other way! My boys, now 24 and 20, both in the services, have been the comfort and pride of my life. Their sister, now 16, has given her father and me infinite cause for anxiety and is now in real trouble. •"We live in a college town; Betty-Lou was not fourteen when she came in to breakfast one inorning bedraggled and exhausted, having danced all night at the country club and various night clubs. She had been drinking and was in a condition to hqrrify anyone who loved her. Only her father and I were home, and we did what we could. We reminded her, after she had had coffee, a bath and some hours of sleep, that hers is a comfortable, hospitable home, that we have always tried to give her every advantage, and that our hopes for her had been bitterly shaken by her behavior. I was obliged to tell her that hereafter when she told me she wanted to stay with a school friend I would telephone that friend to check on the matter. But both Joe and I regarded this as the recklessness of a defiant child, and while we •watched her carefully, we did not take this first outbreak too seriously. Now I know that it was by no means an isolated instance. "That Christmas we took all the children east to my mother's place, and there was a dance among the cousins to which I permitted Betty- Lou to go; she had her first formal evening dress and was much petted and praised. At the end of the evening she and a boy of disappeared; next morning, after a night. of horror for us, they were found at a Baltimore hotel; the boy asleep in a chair in the lobby, Betty-Lou and another girl, a girl they had picked up at some night club, asleep up- . stairs. Expelled From School. • "When we came back we. tried boarding-school, but last November, in her third half-term there, she was quietly dropped for repeatedly breaking bounds and disappearing "for hours at a time. "This Christmas-time her behavior was so reckless that night after night her father and = I lay awake waiting to hear her return from %arious entertainments, some-* times at two or three o'clock, and sometimes in a state that showed us she had been drinking. Threats are no use; we cannot seem to reach her soul or heart at all. Yet ours is a good home, and we have always tried to keep about her decent and developing influences. "Last night a young marine, 20 years old, called on my husbanrf and ! me and said that he was 'willing' j to marry our daughter if we wished ; it. Betty-Lou was at a movie with j some young friends; we could only j gather, from this young man's talk, < that hfe felt N';ged to make this suggestion. mi Betty-Lou came in she denied Everything, said that the boy was romancing, and that she wouldn't marry him under any circumstances. But his serious, apologetic manner made a terrible impression on both Joe and myself. "Now, what are we to do? Here is this girl, not yet 17, who knows neither law nor affection, who is as hard as flint, and who is going to go her own wav no mattor what we do.

Pastor* In what way have we failed hetf We are not church members, but Betty-Lou and her brothers went to Sunday School when they were, small, and every lesson in honesty, integrity, self-control that the bo£s have had she has had, too. She must be a throw-back to some ancestor of whom we are ignorant, for both my husband's people and mine have always been law-abiding, gentle, good men and women. Must I let this child go on until she does something that destroys her chances of happiness forever? How can .1 save her from herself? You must ; have handled cases as desperate as ! this one, arid must be able to under- j stand that, as far as we know, she ! has no excuse for treating us this way. What shall we do?" Many Girls Ruin Own Lives. j This is a sad letter, and all the i sadder to me because I know of no answer. Sometimes the kindest, gentlest, most intelligent of parents find themselves with-a child whose cold, hard, reckless nature Js a complete mystery and often completely inefficient parents have sons and daughters who are the greatest pride and honor to them. I know of one fine young lawyer, upright and intelligent and successful, whose mother deserted him and ran off with a lover, when he was on'y ' three, and whose father then made a most unfortunate marriage, which ended in his being taken away from the custody of his own people. And I know a brother and sister, both married now, both parents, both unusually fine persons, whose mother's life was an actual scandal, the children themselves having been dragged into court on one occasion to testify in a particularly ifhsavory suit. And on the other hand there are many cases like that of Betty-Lou, a young girl with every advantage of background and cultivation, who seems determined to ruin her own life and the happiness of those who love her. Affection and patience are the only cure, as far as her parents are concerned. They must go on loving her, forgiving her, trying to help her, until her own eyes are opened. And that awakening may not come until she has learned a bitter lesson. ^ Our town had a Botty-Lou when I was a girl.
