 Some of the children on Baldwin street are taking desperate chances with the trolley cars and if they keep at it there will be trouble sooner or later. They cross and Te-cross the tracks at short distances ahead of the car, jump onto the running boards when it stops and then tumble off into the street when 1t starts up. The men in charge and the officers do their best to prevent the youngsters from taking these risks. but it is out of the ques- ton to keep track of them and it looks as if it were up to the parents to see what they can do in the premises. The boys mean no harm, but the trolley cars will not take that into considera- fion if fhav hampnn fO aOrno nuifI1in reach of the merciless and death deal ing wheels. Many think the dangers that threaten children from fooling with trolley cars would make an inter- esting and valuable subject for talk once in a while in the public schools. l It is going on in all parts of the town | and were 1t not for the extreme caution used by nlotormen and conductors, trolley horrors would be common oc- currences.
