Drivers Not Instructed.

Thousa nds Of ears are sold second hand
to persons who have never driven auto
mobiles or received instructions az to
how to operate them, and these are not
acquainted with the rules of the road.
Officials in several cities We're OF the
opinion that the equipment of automo-
hileS, such Us brakes. steering gears. horn
lights. etc, should be examined period
ically, also that there should be a limit
to the size and weight of motor trucks.
The grade crossing situation was in =
vestiSated in many of the cities visited,
and IN Chicago it was ascertained that
about 80 per cent of the grade crossing
accidents were caused by stalling of the
motor. The public safety commission and
Coroner Peter Hoffman of Cook county
conducted many Investigations where
upon 1t was found that the approaches
to the railroad crossings were very rough
and that the planks between the rails
were uneven, prohibiting the crossing of
the tracks at fair rate Of speed.
| Through the efforts of the public safety
commission the corporation was Sc
cured of the railroad. state and county
officials, and special trains were placed at
their disposal for examining the crossings
where accidents have been most frequent.
The approaches to the railroad crossings
the tracks without materially reducing
speed and thereby eliminating the pos
sibility of stalling motors. Coroner iIoff-
man told Mr.. Elliott that he expected as
a result of the improved conditions there
would be a decrease Of - per cent in the
number Of grade crossing accidents dur
ing the present year.

Approved by Police officials.

Poilce officials in many OF the cities
visited approve of the Detroit traffic
regulations and are planning to adopt
the same together with the safety
zones and indicating the lines at the
street intersections for pedestrians to
follow.
AS result of the safety first tour
1t is probable that national fedora
ton Of the safety first societies and
committees throughout the country
will be organized for the purpose of
establishing a clearing house for the
exchanging of ideas and suggestions.
the dissemination of literature, the
compiling of data and standardization
work. which will be of assistance in
carrying on the campaigns throughout
the country.
A compilation of statistics covering
street accidents in Chicago. which We're
supplied by Capt. c. c. Healy of the
traffic squad. shows that 20 per cent of
the accidents occur in the middle of the
block. 1t was ascertained by Mr.. Elliott

erages between so and % per cent The
examination and licensing of all operators
ana drivers of automobiles. whether own

OF suspension or revocation of licenses in
the state authorities. as advocated by
the Safety First Society, has met witt,

safety first car.
1t has been Mr.. Eiiott's experience
that drivers of thousands of small ears
are not competent to operate them when
the cars are first delivered as these peo-

Felicitate Pope on Birthday.

ROME, November 21.--AlthoUgh Pope
Benedict expressed Il desire that there
should be no festivities or manifesto
tions on the occasion Of his siXtieth
birthday today, because of the war,
many kilograms and addresses of
greeting have been received from
throughout the world. Those who have
sent messages include sovereigns and
the heads of various states. Many Of
the messages contain expressions of
hope that through the efforts of Pope
Benedict peace soon may be realized.

Barriers Removed.

In Chicago and vicinity wherever there
was slIubbery. trees. high fences or old
buildings to obscure the view at grade
crossings OF either the motor vehicle OPP
orator or the engineer, these barriers
were promptly removed BY securing the
consent Of the property owners in the
belief that the engineer as well as the
automobile operator should have clear
view of the intersectinG points OF high
ways and railroads.
In several cities the officials are plan
ming to secure regulations eliminating tie
steps on the rear of Ice wagons and other
vehicles making it compulsory to equip
horse drawn wagons used for delivery
purposes with brakes. requiring that the
attendants Of filling stations shall not Till
gasoline tanks of automobiles unless the
! motor has been stopped and at night the
lights are thrown off and no one is per
mitted TO light matches or smoke within
q given distance of filling stations.
Having met hundreds of prominent Of
ficials and citizens, Mr.. Elliott is satisfied
that the interest in the safety first move
ment is widespread and intense and it is
only a question Of short time before
great national organization similar to
the National Civic Federation will be
| formed, except that its activities Will be
devoted to public safety entirely.

WITH EXTENSIVE FAVOR
Chicago Expects to Reduce Number
Of Accidents by Improving
Grade Crossings.

Frederick H. Elliott, general secre-
tary of the Safety First Society of
Greater New York. returned last week
from an automobile tour, covering a
period of over two months, in which
he visited seventy cities in eighteen
states, including Buffalo, Boston, De-
troit. Chicago. Milwaukee. st. Louis,
Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Co
lumbus. Wheeling, Pittsburgh, Wash
ington. Baltimore and Philadelphia.
The total mileage for the trip was
$500. remarkable feature of the tour
being that only three rainy days were
encountered during the period of nine
weeks. Mr.. Elliott made personal
study and investigation of the traffic
regulations in all the cities visited and
found that much progress had been
made in the handling of street traffic
In many municipalities throughout the
middle west.
The near-side stop for street cars has
been universally adopted and the safe
ty zones on the pavement opposite the
point where street cars Stop are very
popular and have been inaugurated
IN various localities. In Detroit Mr.
Elliott conferred with Police Commits
sloner John Gillespie, who has put into
effect many new and practical traffic
regulations. the most important of
which is the one providing that pedes-

sections and prohibiting crossing the

SCHOOLS NEED HOLD
ON RESTLESS PUPILS
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young Proposes
Variety in Education to In
terest Children.

DETROIT. Mich, November 2l.-Rad-
ical reform in the elementary education
of children was advocated by Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young, superintendent or
the Chicago pubic schools, in an ad-
dress today at the convention here of
the National League of Compulsory
Education Officials. She declared that
unless new methods are adopted chill
dren cannot be held in school.
"On the day when we can present n
variety of subjects in the school that
will appeal to varying types of children
then we will hold their interest and
keep them off the Streets said Mrs.
Young.
"What Drives Children OutP,,
About so per cent of our children
leave school before we are through
with their elementary education. Al
though compulsory educators are doing
good work. their results never will be
what they should be until we teachers
learn what drives the children out.
We have got to have something that
appeals to the child mind-somet thing
that viii awaken it. There are three
types of children, one of which is the
restless type. That is the type the
public school loses. We lose those
children because we do not give them
something to do.
This idea that children are all alike
until certain period is a mistake. We
have got to offer them more than one
line of work and show them things
which are positively useful in the child
eye.
Other Changes When Needed.
In time. the strictly academic course
may give way to the industrial course.
And 1 would change other courses of
study when necessary. ! would give
boys and girls earlier in life such sub
jects as physics, chemistry and modern
languages"
The league formally announced its
intention of actively working for uni
form marriage and divorce laws; more
thorough birth registration; expansion
of the juvenile court system. placing
parents as well as children under pro-
ba ton and a middle-of the-road policy
with reference to religion and politics
in the schools. Resolutions to this
effect We're adopted as the best means
for improving the compulsory cduca :
ton situation in this country.
The convention also passed resoiu
ton indorsing what was termed Iresi
dc MT Wilson'S ..tactful neutrality.
The convention closed tonight with a
banquet at which child labor law was
an important subject OF discussion.

WINTER CRUISE DUTY
FOR REVENUE CUTTERS
Annual Orders Direct Vessels of
Service of Atlantic to Guard Shores
After December l.

Capt Commandant Bertholf Of the
revenue cutter service has sent the
usual winter cruising orders to COM
mandlng officers of revenue cutters on
Atlantic coast stations, from Eastport,
Me-, to Key West, Fla. Commencing
december !. the cutters Woodbury., An
droscogsin. Gresham. Acushnet. Mo-
hawk. Apache, Onondaga, Pamlico. Semi
mole and Algonquin will start on winter
out stop, except to so to port for coal
and stores, until March 81, next year
Under the orders sent them the COM
mandinS officers of the revenue cutters
are called upon to use every effort to
locate vessels in trouble from any cause
and give them prompt aid.
No matter what the weather the reve-
nue. cutters will cruise over their sta
tlonS ready at any moment to speed un-
der forced draft to the aid of vessels
needing help
Life and Property Saved.
So efficient has been the work of the
service in the past six years that the
losses of vessels from winter storr.s on
the Atlantic coast have been reduced to a
minimum. Each winter many hundred
thousand dollars of floating property is
saved from the NAV of Atlantic and
hundreds of sailors owe their lives to
the rescue work done by the cutters:
Wh1le no cruising orders are sent to
the cutters on the Pacific coast owing
10 the fact that the Pacific does not have
heavy storms like those on this side of
the continent, still the cutters in west
