Alarming Increase In the Number OF
Street Casualties.
NJ 'he Present Rate the Asgregatc
For the Present Year VIII
Reach u Thousand

New York, Oct. 21.-Oficial figures of
the board of health covering a period
OF three years show that the number of
persons killed annually in the streets
OF New York is increasing in an alarm
ing degree.
These fatalities are growing on more
IMAM an even ratio with the growth of
population and business. which indi-
Gates either that pedestrians are be-
coming more careless of their safety in
the streets or that drivers of cars and
vehicles are growing more reckless and
the police less diligent in enforcing
the ordinances, which now exist for the
regulation of street traffic.
In the year 1901 there were 49, per-
sons killed by vehicles and street rail-
ways.
In 1902 the number of such death
grew 10 53S. When the figures of 1909
are compiled the death list from street
accidents will have reached nearly one
thousand. estimating from the number
already recorded
The list of accidents was increased

Pittsburg. Pa. Oct. 21-As result
of special meeting of the Structural
Iron Workers Union. held Monday
night, damage suits aggregating $780,
600 may be brought against the Ameri-
can Bridge Co, charging negligence in
the construction of the Wabash rail-
road bridge, where the disastrous acct
dent happened Monday. The officers
of the union are reticent on the sub
ject, but one of them said the union
may take charge of all the cases and
bring suits. The men at the meeting
alleged that the company had been
raising daily 80 tons of iron on the
traveller at the bridge, which the COM
missioners said should not carry more
than 80 tons.
The meeting decided to stop all
work in The city until Thursday, and
made special arrangements for the
funerals of the victims of the accident
1t was decided that on the casket of
each victim should be placed a floral

Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. 21.-Drills In
the forenoon and technical instructions
in the afternoon was the military pro-
gramme at Fort Riley Tuesday. The
drills were arranged with the idea of
giving the national guardsmen an op-
portunity OF rubbing elbows with the
regulars and also to inure them in a
measure to the work of the maneuvers
which are to come
1t is not the intention of Gen. Bates,
however, to make the exercises of such
a character as to too severely test the
endurance of the militia regiments.
In the afternoon drills the national
guards were instructed in the making
OF intrenchments under the direction
of officers of the engineer battalion. In
the evening, Col. Arthur L. Wagner de-
Hvered a lecture covering the finer
points of strategy In warfare.
The farmers in the country adjoining
the reservation who have leased their
lands to the government for the pur-
pose of maneuvering are loud in their
praises OF the manner in which the
troops have conducted themselves
while on their farms So far. not the
slightest depreciation has been commit

WALKING FOR CHILDREN.

great many children have crooked
legs because their mothers or nurses
endeavor to make them walk before
their limbs are strong enough to bear
the weight of their bodies without in
jury. The inexperienced mother takes
pride in seeing her offspring making
attempts to walk, and often forces the
little one to stand in spite of the very
obvious protestations of nature
Nurses, too, when taking their charges
out for an airing, often force them to
walk simply to save themselves the
trouble OF carrying them, says a house.

Baby carriages are often to be blamed
for some of the crookedness of the
limbs OF the rising. as well as the

months old and its body is developed

suit is that when the child is at last made

customed pressure.
Young bones consist chiefly of carti-
laginous material, and are at this stage
bent with comparative ease, and, hav-
ing little elasticity. became readily set.
Children should be allowed to creep as
much as they like, and when their limbs
are fit to bear their weight they will be-
gin of their own accord to make at
tempts to walk.
In any case, walking is not an exer-
else to which young Children take kind
ly at any time. 1t Is extremely weari-
some to them. 1t is the poorest form OF
exercise they can take. involving tho
greatest amount of active movement.
The effort of keeping the spine erect and
balancing the body il very fatiguins to
the young, and this may easily be DEM
onstrated by taking a young child for a
long walk and noting how very
quickly it becomes tired and begins to
drag its steps languidly along
The best form of exercise for children
is one permitting of the greatest amount
OF movement and the most exercise for
the least fatigue. Games such as chill
dren love. with hoop or ball, are much
better for them than long. dreary set
walks, allowing as they do a constant
change of muscular movements. giving
each muscle its due need of exercise
without overstraining one particular
set of muscles. In this way all the
muscles of the body may be pleasantly
exercised without any being over-fa-
tigued

.BATTLEsHIP MISSOURI
IS A RECORD BREAKER
Big Warrior Made Average
Speed of 1906 Knots an
Hour

Boston. Oct. 22.-The new battis-
ship Missouri has proved herself the
queen Of the seas in her class in a
speed trial over the Cape Ann course.
with weather conditions of a consider
ably handicapping nature. Steaming
over a course OF 33 nautical miles and
return. the battleship made an aver
age speed Of 1905 knots per hour,
which. with tidal corrections greatly
in her favor. it is believed will ad-
vance It to 1922 knots, new worlds
record for battleships.
The first part of the run was made
against strong northwest breeze,
which kept down the speed to 1854
knots. but coming back the conditions
were more favorable, and the 33 knots
we're covered in one hour. AZ minutes
and 9 seconds, a speed Of 1S.46 knots
per hour.
The big battleship at one time at
tanned a speed of 1876 knots per hour.
The contract requirements call for Is
knots. and q margin was very crafty
ing, not only to the builders, the New
port News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Company, but to the government ofh.
cials on board
The best previous record made by a
battleship in the Missouri's class is
that OF the Maine. a sister ship, which
was 17.9S per hour.
