Expenditure of This
City Money For Safety
Would Be Economy

II has long been the contention Of this
Newspaper that the streets Of Detroit
can become safe only thru education
education of reckless drivers before stern
Judges and education Of the pedestrians
as to the rights Of sane and careful
drivers and as to their responsibilities as
pedestrians in the thorofares-
Records for the past few weeks show
that the safety campaign conducted in
Detroit has borne results.
There has been noticeable decrease in
the number Of fatalities due TO street ac-
cidents, in the majority of which children
are the victims.
In every newspaper Office in Detroit it
Is appreciated that much of the credit
for this improved state of affairs is due
H. L. Brownell, director of our Safety
First league, who has worked nntiringly
in the campaign that is beginning to bear
fruit.
II is proposed to continue the valuable
services of Mr.. Brownell and 70 make
then even fore effective and productive
by engaging him in the schools where he
will be able to have the attention Of the
children, TO warn them of their danger,
TO instruct them as to the precautions
they should exercise and to impress upon
them the important economic side Of the
efforts in their behalf.
Mr. Brownell is exceptionally well fit
ted and capacitated for the important
work proposed for him TO do. He has
made long and thoro study Of the sub
ject and is equipped with all the sym
pathy and energy required to push it tc
the telling point.
1t is intended that he shall work under
the direction of Superintendent Chadsey
as a part Of our educational system
He has consented to give his services
for the modest sum Of $4,000 for tht
school period and an additional 81 900 4
provide for an assistant TO operate th'
films and slides which would be a par
of the lecture.
The proposition is now before the com
mon council and The Times suggests tha
the favorable consideration of that bod,
would be a stroke Of economy.

What Sammy Wants
Most of All, Friends,
Is a Letter From Home

There is one Unsuitable, constant de
mand from soldiers in trench and tram
ing camp-the demand for letters and
more letters from home.
Comfort kits and candy and the like
are fine-but only letters soothe that
lonely ache that sometimes sneaks under
the khaki.
II Is not soldierly TO talk of loneliness
so there is never a word of that in the
letters from camp-but the longing is
expressed in the plea-over and over
"write often-letters are best Of al"
Mothers and sisters and friends of sol
diers can perform as great a service for
them with the pen as with the knitting
needle
Sweaters and socks at best mean but
phvsical comfort-while letters strength
en- the heart
If our soldiers are to fight their best
we must keep them secure in their faith
in our appreciation Of their sacrifice, and
aware of the beauty and worth Of the
homes for whose freedom and happiness
they go to battle
Letters to soldiers should be pictures
Of home. and letter writer's should spare
no effort to make them cheerful and in
spring.
The veriest commonplace Of family
life are dear to these exiled lads-the
news that mother is making pickles, that
father was on the soliciting committee
for the Liberty Loan-that sister has
Joined the first aid class, or is secretary
OF her high school debating club.
And don't forget the clippings from the
home paper-and the snapshot Of mother

Miss Rankin Reports

Jeanette Rankin was elected to con-
gress by the state of Montana, but be-
cause she is the first and only woman
in the national legislature she is, in the
larger sense, the representative of all
American women.
In states where women have the full
franchise there are more than 5000, 900
women of voting age; New York has just
granted millions of women the vote
there are millions more working and
wishing for the vote. and many millions
femininely watching. all OF

do with real vote.

STRIKE TIES UP KANSAS CITY
Motornen and Conductors Demand
Right to OrganIze-VioIence Is
Threatened to Strikebreakers.

Kansas City, Aug. 9.-The result Of
the first day of Kansas City's street
car strike inaugurated early yester-
day morning, was a complete tieup of
the street car system after o'clock in
the afternoon.
The day began with a few cars run
ming on all lines, but car men deserted
the service, until at 3 o'clock only
four cars were running. These were
on the Roanoke line.
Chief of Police Thomas P F1ahive
last night detailed seventy-eight po-
Hcemen to report at the various car
barns this morning and to ride the cars
as they started out on the runs. The
officers will accompany the cars in
order to insure protection for all mo-
tormen and conductors who refuse to
join the strikers. They will report
at the car barns at o'clock this morn
ing.
A conference was held at the city
hall late yesterday afternoon between
Mayor Edwards, representing the city;
John R. Ransom of the board of police
commissioners, of which the mayor is
eX-officia chairman; Robert P. Woods,
the city representative on the board
of control of the Kansas City Railways
company, and D. NJ. Pinkerton and
John w. Wagner, city members of
the board of directors. The other
three city representatives on the
board of directors, W. T. Kemper, F.
G. Niles and John H. WiIes, are out of
the city.
Strike leaders stationed at the vari-
GUS barns asserted early this morning
they would make trouble for any
imported men, who attempted to run
cars out of that barn. They said so
long as local men were employed in
running the cars they would not dis
turb them, but any move on the part
Of the company Indicative Of strike
breaking methods would be met
promptly by different tactics than
those so far employed.

FARMERS ARE TERRORIZED

McAlester, Ok, Aug. 11-Terrorized
by the threats of anti-draft rioters,
many farmers in the Scipio neighbor-
hood have deserted their homes, Sher-
Tiff Conn reported today.
Driven by hunger, pigs have broken
out of their pens and are roofing up
the crops, cows stand at gates with
their udders full waiting to be MIXED,
work horses are wandering the fields
idle, chickens pass through the houses
unmolested. Sheriff Conn returned
from the district after an aIl-day
chase through the woods at the heels
of the county bloodhounds
The peaceable and law abiding citi-
zens of the community are afraid to
return to their homes, even though
they know that the W. G. u trouble
makers have been dispersed Sheriff

families to other parts of the county,

TRY TO CORNER TOMATOES
investigators for Federal Trade Com
mission Accuse Armour; Morris
and the Libby Companies.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Evidence Of
a conspiracy among large packing in
terests to corner the entire tomato
output of the Pacific Coast has been
discovered, it was said today at the
offices of the Federal Trade Commits
sion.
The commissions investigators in
California reported today that three
large canning concerns are involved
Armour & Company, Morris & Com
pany and Libby, Mcneil & Libby.
These companies, they said, have at
tempted to purchase the entire Cali
fornia tomato crop from local Gamers,
and prices consequently are jumping.
Although at 9215 cents a dozen, To-
cal Gamers are assured of a good
profit, the three packing companies,
according to the trade commission,
have sent the prices up to S1.30 and
higher. The retail price, 1nvestiga-
tors reports say, also is taking an up
ward turn.
Trade commission officials are Of
the opinion that the California situa-
ton should not appreciably affect
prices in other parts of the country,
as the total California output is only
one-tweIfth of the entire country's
pack.
