NO RACE SUICIDE
Two British Couples Have 20 Children
Each

From Tit Bits.
Recently two extraordinary cases OF
very numerous offspring in the same
family were recorded in the English
press, and these attracted great atten-
ton at the time. One was that of Mr..
and Mrs. Rogers of Chiswick, who can
boast a family of no fewer than 20
little" ones, though these are by two
the second wife of Mr.. Charles of that
ilk. who is we'll known builder in the
district The proud father, aged II,
might have been seen carrying his lat
est infant to it's baptism week or two
ago, and Chiswick supporters did due
honor to the occasion.
The other case was that of T. A.
Slack of Purley, Surrey. who, curiously
enough as a coincidence, can also claim
to be the father of 30 children, and in
this instance the writer believes, too
that Mr.. Slack can boast that these $50
save one" are still all alive. Naturally
there have been the usual jokers astir,
who got in the old wheeze about slack
by name but not by nature" though
the good natured and popular man at
Purley takes everything in excellent
part and remains naturally very proud
of his numerous progeny.
Capital as these examples are, as
that even in this age of bishops
and judges who rail at the decaying
birthrate, yet the nation is not wholly
going to the dogs in this matter, the
instances mentioned do not form any
thing like a record" for our country
in this fashion.

Just such conversations as this en-
veloped with such unconcealed sarcasm
is getting to be commonplace and GER
tainy indicates that the Birmingham po-
lice department should stir about and
train their traffic men how to handle
the situations that come up downtown
Chief Bodeker once upon time had a
fairly good traffic squad on the princi-
pal street intersections. However, the
commission came along with its reform
measures and abolished perhaps the
most important arm of the police de-
partment. Since that time insistent de-
mands have been made for traffic regu-
lators which has resulted in the recent
placing of patrolmen at prominent in
tersections during the afternoon late
hours. The men placed are good police
men, oubtless, but so far as critical
observations go they are inefficient in
regulating traffic. Even street car con-
ductors and motormen laugh at the at
tempts that are made by some of them
to regulate traffic downtown. Men who
have gone forth to larger cities and
have observed traffic operations there
look with perfect amazement upon some
of the antics that are cut by the traffic
men, 1t is not their fault. No police
man without training can hope to regu-
| late dense traffic, especially rs the
problems presented often require ex-
| ceedngly alert executives and quick
| thinkers. 1t was understood yesterday
| that a delegation of automo obile owners
| and others intend to visit the commits
| sion and the police department in an ef-
| fort to get some training given those
men who are stationed at intersections
| for this work. Chief Bodeker is a good
police executive. He has travelled far
and near He knows what other pa
trolmen do and it is believed that wnen
this tremendously important situation is
given home for immediate solution that
he will do something in that connec-
tion.

LITTLES
SELLS FAST

The consignment of Little cars which
were unloaded here by the Highland
Garage company during the past few Gays
consisting of six machines, are beins soio
very fast. Two of the machines were sold
within two days after being introduced to
a few machine owners of this marl-et'

Morris, Jr sales manager, that the 9TH

no unusual proposition to see 20 men or
more congregated around one OF them
down town during the past few days look
ing the car over and commenting upon the
fine points of the Little machine. The
managers of the Highland garage are very
much captivated by the small machine,
which, added to their higher priced lines,
give that company an unusually attrac-
tive automobile proposition. That the car
will find an unusual place or faVor mere
