If some statesman were to so express
himself, or a man in an elective office
were to state such convictions-how long
would he last? Could he come back?
Yet the attitude of many persons seems
to imply that they believe accidents are
not .avoida BILE and that carelessness is
not as grave an offense as it really is.
Careless people among all classes of
street users are not unusually rare-any
doubter OF this can easily prove 1t for
himself-and the fact that the numerous
accidents which are recorded each day
cause no more than a passing comment
seems again to imply that carelessness
and it's subsequent results. accidents. are
regarded as necessary evils.
Are they? The question has been asked
time after time by persons interested in
the question.

N0LACK Of ADON|SES
FOUND IN NEW YORK
Managers of Woman Suf-

by Scores of Applicants.

NEW YORK. April 29.-There is no
scarcity of Adonises in New York. call
for forty-eight of them to represent the
states of the Union in the woman suf-
frage pageant at the Metropolitan Opera
House Friday evening has brought scores
more volunteers to the front than are
needed, to the embarrassment Of the
woman to whom fell the duty of selec-
ton.
Many OF the applications from the self
confessed Adonises. however, make 1t
appear they would more easily qualify
as Samsons, for they boast Of over 200
pounds, over six feet four inches for
height and chest measurements OF the
giant. One modestly qualities his perfec-
ton by adding:
'Of course, as regards facial appear
ance I do not know that l am the type
you desire, but If you wish will CALL
II Reach All Qualifications"
Another is certain he reaches ''all the
qualifications for the ideal man.; another
that he Is just the man the committee is
looking for but as the women consider
modesty as one OF the attributes OF the
perfect Adonis, all boastful candidates
are rejected. The names OF the elected
will not be published. even on the pa
geant program. They will remain forty
eight mysteries.
Although practically all the seats had
been sold out, fifteen have been obtained
for a delegation of scrubwomen who
will be there and gaze upon the diamond
horseshoe. which the committee expects
will be as brilliant as on the opening
night of the opera season.
