Watch for the poHceman's signal. He
is always willing to help you.
3. Never attempt to cross a street
with bundle or umbrella over your
head, or Aeading newspaper. Either
hides oncoming vehicles from your
view.
4. Never jump off a moving car.
Wait for it to stop and then look
out for traffic.
5. Stand still If you get caught in
traffic jam. 1t may save your life
6. Children suffer the heaviest toll
of deaths because they are the most
reckless.
Dont's For Children
Here are the dont's for children:
1. Don't play in the roadway.
g. Don't play in the street. Play
on the sidewalk or on nearest play
ground or nearest lot.
3. Don't roller skate in the streets
4. Don't chase a ball across the
streets.
s. Don't hitch on autom obiles
trolleys or wagons.
6. Don't coast where trolleys or
autos go.
Z. Don't play around autos OF
touch any of the levers.
s. Don't touch wires at any time

1899 New Christian
Endeavor Societies

Washington, Sept. "a. - Three
years ago the Christian Endeavor So
cieties of the South agreed on a five
year program which should seek to
organize 100 new societies. At the all
south convention of Christian En-
davorer Societies, held at Memphis.
1t was reported that 1,799 new So
cieties and more than 100000 mem
bers had been gained in the first
three years of the campaign. 1t is
probable that $500 new societies will
be organized during the period in
stead of the original 1000 sought.
This phenomenal growth is marked
with an evangelistic earnestness that
has done wonders for those churches
in which the society is organized

Soldiers as Baseball Recruits.

Even if baseball is resumed next year
the clubs will have to do a lot of scout
ing for new material The fans are not
going to forget the stars who sought

be no great surprise if the major leagues
fill up their ranks to a great extent
from the boys who are in the army now.
Reports from competent judges of base
ball overseas say that many out and out
prospective stars have been unearthed in
the games behind the lines. In addition
to being in great physical condition the
soldiers have the added advantage ovel
the pampered big leaguers Of having
learned to obey orders explicitly. Their,
would be very little wrangling among
this type of player. Another advantag,
would be that the returned soldier bal
player would not demand an enormous
salary After his little $50 a month il

IA fortune. and it was poor player, ever
in the minor leagues, who could not draw
that sum before the crash.-N. Y Herald
