say in sporting circles. BILLY Glib
son. the popular sportsman of the
Bronx. II the horses were running

Gibson has fathered the interests OF
boxing through It's shaky days when a
continuance OF the sport meant series
Of legal battles and the expenditure
of big money in lawyers fees. It's ft-
tinr indeed that to-day finds him In
charge OF the biggest boxing institution
In the world. 1t seems reward for
cast and possibly unappreciated EFFORTS
TO put the game on legalized basis
Gibson enjoys Il great reputation, In
rports and In politics for honesty. and In
his perhaps Is the secret OF his success.

Throughout the couple OF hours Gibson

First came an advertising man. A

some would think that the task Of
making the Garden a successful fight
siuo would be enough to tax ones en-
uurance. but Gibson fnds time for
many other activities. When he gets
up IN the morning he takes a run
around TO his cafe and restaurant and
sees mat everything has been running
smoothly there. Then he hustles down
town and the big show begins.
BESIDES the Garden he Is interested
IN new device that Is expected to
render rear-end collisions on electric
railways an imposslbility. Over at
Clason Point a bunch OF outdoor amuse-
ments demands his attention. He con-
tnues TO actively manage the Fatrmont
a. e., and not infrequently he can be
found up In the Bronx making matches
Tor the smaller club at 4 o'clock in the
morning. or course he has plenty OF
leisure. so he puts that in helping them
run Bronx County. His motto Is: "a

vehicles and Crossings.

Recent automobile accidents In
which pedestrians have been killed,
emphasize the often reiterated state
ment that the street crossings are
reserved for pedestrians whenever
they see fit to use them. The cross
liHgs are extensions OF the sidewalks.
When they are clear Of foot passen-
gers. traffic of every kind may ira
verse these crossings at any speed
within the limitation Of municipal
ordinances. When they are in use
by pedestrians, the drivers OF We
hicles must regard the: crossing Z as
part of the sidewalk, and as they
would not drive their vehicles upon
the sidewalk they must respect the
prior right of those who temporarily
use the street crossing to reach the
sidewalk on the opposite side of the
street.
If necessary the: drivers of auto
mobiles and other vehicles must
stop to let pedestrians ION crossings
pass by. Their mere honking OF a
horn does not absolye the drivers
from the consequences of an acct
dent The rule Is proved by the Gus
tom in all cities of placing police
men on the crossings in sections
where the traffic is congested. These
policemen are instructed to stop the
traffic whenever pedestrians are
crossing the street. In this instance
the pedestrian is always given the
right OF way.
Many of those who drive automo-
.blIes through the streets seem to be
OF the opinion that 1t is only requi-
site to honk their horns and "slow
down .togsix miles an hour at cross
tings, They are mistaken and some
of these mistakes have resulted IA
tally for persons unable to dodge the
swiftly moving vehicles.
Y THE drivers Of vehicles should OBJ
serge more caution and discretion in
approaching and while traversing
the street crossings.

Pnblic HeaIth jEduca1ion.

Enliehtened public opinion is the
most potent force toward better
public health and sanitation.
Physicians will succeed in their CAM
paign for prevention of disease in
proportion to the understanding of
the value of health measures by the
public and its cooperation to secure
them.
The Journal of the American Med
ical Association recently commented
on the destrability Of more coop
Grafton between physicians and
churches in public health education.
The Men and Religion Forward
Movement, which has caused ma
ttouswide sensation, has not re-
stricted its activities. to purely re-
ligious matters. Various social
problems have been attacked; for
example. careful analysis of condi-
tons In various cities that resulted
in recommendation for improved
sewerage and quarantine systems,
protection of milk-supply. organiza-
tons OF health departments, better
opportunities for harmless recrea-
ton, improved garbage collection.
etc.
IN many cities excellent results
followed the work. The funda-
mental basis, was a survey of actual
conditions, that is, the tabulation OF
all the aseertafnabie facts in the
case before taking action. This is
merely touching ON the medical
phase of this movement. Its chief
work, OF course, was religious, but
the movement seemed to attack the
human problem in all its ramifica-
tions spiritual social, physical
and to recommend Improvements
wherever It was thought wise. z
1t is evident that the element of
public edncation on health condi-
tions is working. Great improve
ments in the sanitation and hygiene
Of the American people are due in
short order as soon as the public Is
awakened to the possibilities.
