Whoever said, "What you don't know won't hurt you," was wrong r--and the grade crossing accident Illustrated here proves it. The driver of a shiny car stopped safely at a railroad crossing to let a freight train pass. The train passed, and the driver put his car in gear and started across immediately after the caboose had clear d the crossing. But it was a dou track crossing and another . ;fast ireight from the opposite direc ion roared toward the crossing. obscured from view by the train that had just passed."*"-- The driver didn't know the second train was coming. And what he didn't know not only hurt him -- but killed him, smashed the car into junk and delayed the train nearly a half hour. The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to stop these grade crossing accidents, which every day delays an average of 38 trains a total of 22 hours--a heavy drain on the nation's wartime transportation facilities. Driver carelessness is the cause of almost all grade crossing accl iv e Pledge to Flag In the pledge described by the Second National Flag Conference (1924) the right hand is held over the heart during the words "I pledge allegiance to the Flag," then the right hand is extended palm upward toward the Flag while the words 'Of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all," are said. At the end the hand drops to the side. This practice, which is followed in schools, is suitable also i for civilian adults who, however, | show full respect to the Flag simply ; by standing at attention when the pledge is given. Women salute the i Flag by placing the right hand over the heart. dents, according to the Council. To help win the war, to save yourself and others needless suffering, the Council asks you to be sure the track is clear before you start across. WNU Service) Soybean Milk Powder Important "research in the development of a dried powder preparation made of soybeans has been carried on at West China Union university in Chengtu, and the finished product is declared to be superior ! in some respects to cows' milk in. nutritive value. The soya bean milk powder is made of 100 parts roasted and ground soya beans to 20 parts whole wheat flour, 35 parts sugar, and five parts bone meal. The, resulting mixture, boiled with water, makes a sweetish, thick soup. The New York office of China Colleges, a participating agency of United China Relief, reports that the soybean milk powder is superior in iron and vitamin B content to ordinary cows' milk, lacking only the fat and fatsoluble vitamins found in cows' milk. • PHILADELPHIA.--It is probable that no adventure Edward O. Hall may meet in the future will match up with the one he experienced here recently--the adventure of reunion after nearly 27 years with a father, mother and sister whom he "lost" through a combination of unusual circumstances during the last World war. He found them again recently, the first time he has been on the East coast for many years, by means oi a little bit of personal detective work and a big break of luck. And for them his return was literally from the grave, for the 78- year-old father, John W. Hall, a maintenance engineer employed by the Inquirer, had long since decided his son had lost his life at sea. Probably, the father thought, aboard the collier Cyclops, mystery ship which sailed away during the last war and was never heard of again. The strange tale of separation had its beginning when the younger Hall enlisted in the navy in 1917, writing his parents that he was'"in uniform'! but failing to say what kind of uniform. He was 17 then. Had No Records. But from that time until recently his parents never heard from him again, although he wrote many let- ! tePs and although they sought futitely to locate him through the war and navy departments. Those departments told the father they had no records of his son, although the son says he enlisted under his own name. Letters he wrote his parents never reached them be^ cause the father during the last war worked in various shipyards, and the letters never caught up with his rapidly changing addresses. The son escaped with his life when a mine sweeper was blown up in the North sea, then left the navy aild joined the Merchant Marine. Singularly enough, the father also joined the Merchant Marine after World War I, and the ships they sailed literally passed in the night. Ultimately, the father settled down in Philadelphia, despairing of ever seeing his son again. The son met and married a California girl, started a trucking business in Los Angeles, and lived contentedly until the present war drew him back into the Merchant Marine, as a first assistant engineer. • Big Telephone Bill. Thus it happened that his ship docked at New York the other day. He decided to do his detective work. He remembered a cousin, Fred G. Meyer. He telephoned all the Halls and Meyers in New York without result. He remembered that cousin Fred once worked with the Bell Telephone company. He went to that company's New York office. After a tedious examination of records, employees there found they had a Meyers working *in a Long Island branch exchange.™! It turned out to be cousin Fred, and ! cousin Fred knew the addresses of • Other members of the family. ! Taking the age of his parents into consideration, and fearing that his sudden appearance might be too - great a shock to them, the son first visited a married sister in Washington, D. C* She broke the news gent- ( ly to her father by long distance telephone." v < "Pop," she sai2, "Ed's here?' "Ed who?" asked Pop. "Why, Ed, your son." And then, after Pop had caught his breath, there was more talk. That's how Ed Hall came home. Butterflies May Be Cure For Anemia, Briton Says KENT, ENGLAND. -- Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins is hopeful of proving that butterflies, previously identified with man's ailments only by that descriptive term, "butterflies in one's stomach," may help fight a dangerous human ailment.

With this in view, he is experimenting with hundreds of butterflies near • here. . St. Mary's Catholic Church Masses: Sunday: 7:00, 8:30, 10:00, 11:38. Holy Days: 6:00; 8:00; 10:00.

Early Orreries The evolution of the mechanical planetarium, the correct name for the orrery, is a difficult one to trace, descriptions prior to those of the early 18th century being often ambiguous. For example, in 1232, the sultan of Egypt presented to Frederick II of Germany a timepiece which "resembled internally a celestial globe in which Sun, Moon and planets moved, being impelled by weights and wheels, so that they pointed out the hour, day and night, with certainty."
