SAFETYLEAGUE TO
PROTECT CHILDREN
New York Idea Is Proposed as
Ideal Plan to Guard Youngsters
Against Motor Cars.
By HARRY WARD.

Two deplorable automobile accidents in
Washington this week in which a
| woman and young girl met almost in
stant death, serve to bring out the fact
that the organization of the Safety
! League in New York by the American
Museum of Safety might well be imi-
tated in practically every other city in
the country.
This Safety League aims at educating
children in the forming of elementary
habits for personal protection when on
the thoroughfares. Lectures given in
the public schools, as we'll as the PAM
phlets distributed, are doing excellent
work to instill In the children this ele-
ment of safety which Is SO essential to
personal welfare.
In order to still further get the chill
dren of New. York in the habit Of think
ing when crossing thoroughfares, q
green and red button of the Safety
League is being distributed to all chill
dren and the wearing of this button is
a constant reminder of the instructions
they should follow when on the public
thoroughfare.
So valuable are these elementary in
structions that they might well be
studied with profit by pedestrians in
Washington, as well as children. The
cardinal features of the leagues safety
rules" are as follows:
Never fail to look both ways for au-
tomoblSs. trucks. and trolley cars be-
fore crossing street. Keep eyes to the
left until the middle of the street Is
reached, then eyes to the right until the
curb is reached.
Never play any kind of a game in
the street when automobiles and heavy
trucks are constantly passing or, in
streets where trolley cars are operating.
Never hitch on behind a trolley car.
automobile or motor truck. as you may
lose your footing and be thrown under
the wheels.
Never step from behind a trolley car
without hesitating and looking, as an
other car may be coming from the other
direction.
Never take chances"
Ray Harroun, winner Of the great
Indianapolis 50O-mile race of 1911, doubts
the ability of Bob Burman to accom-
plish the feat which the speed mer-
chant" has laid down for himself,
namely, the driving Of the entire 5OU-
mile race at Indianapolis May 30 next.
Harroun says that he attempted this
feat but that the strain was too severe
and that he was compelled to take re-
lief for the total of ninety-two miles In
the contest. The former winner says
that the strain of a complete 600-mile
race is so enormous that he does no,
believe that Burman, even with the
most rigorous training and with a great
car, such as he undoubtedly will have,
will be able to keep his seat for the
half thousand miles. Harroun says
that such a performance is not only a |
physical strain, but that II Is a mental |
strain, the like Of which cannot he !
fathomed by anyone who has not at |
tempted the feat.
