According to the accident record of
the police, printed above, there were
more automobile accidents during the
month of February than ever before in
Topeka. And an effort is to be made
to minimize the danger of such acct
dents The traffic squad is a part
of the plan. Another part is to require
every policeman to make a thorough
report of every accident which hap
pens upon his beat. This will be a
more difficult task than it appears to
be because no one at the police sta
ton has time to keep the records
which are not being kept there, let
alone an additional one. But in order
that the police may be in close touch
with the drivers of autos who are
prone to recklessness this will be done.

Detroit.

Detroit, March 1.-Two squads in
the two men event, five in the singles
and one in the five man teams, COM
posed today's program in the tenth

Bowling congress. Cleveland, Belle
vile, Ill, Winnipeg, Man., Cincinnati
and Akron, o., Jackson, Mich, SYRIA
cuse, n. Y; Van Vert. o., and Terre
Haute, Ind, were among the cities
represented.
The general raising of the averages
of the scores in all events has led the
officials to be certain that all existing
records of the American Bowling con-
gress will be broken during the tourna-
ment.
While the active campaign for the
1911 tournament has not opened, it is
generally believed that St. Louis will
be awarded the event

Missouri metropolis will be awarded

tent to make bids for the 1912 honors.
1t is understood that Dayton and CO.
Iumbus, o., will be active bidders for it.

Singing his song more sadly,
Or with unseemly mirth.

And life is the humble lot.

But he will live tonight,
And his own joy or sorrow
