CAMP AIGN PLANNED
FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY


street car and poster advertisement
in the city. The. Mayor hopes to make
his Protect Yourself as widespread
locally, as the safety First" slogan
of the railroad campaigns were ma
tionally.
In addition it was said this morn
ing that 10000 cards bearing warn
ings will be printed and distributed
among the school children of the
city.
Accidents Increasing
ut is a regrettable fact that acci-
dents are on the increase" said the
Mayor. DRIVERS and pedestrians
should remember that every accident
carries with it the chance of injury
or death. Whether the worst possible
result follows or not is largely mat
ter of chance. More than one-half
the accidents occur on the streets at
places other than the authorized
walks, crossings and safety zones"
The following list of "Don'ts' is
sued by the Mayor to-day, is the line
of warning the Mayor will ask ad-
vertisers to follow in the protect
Yourself" campaign he is asking
them to wage.
1. Don't run across streets through
heavy traffic.
2. Cross streets at crossings only
Watch for the policemans signals. Tie
is always willing to help you.
3. Never cross a street with an
umbrella over your head or reading
a newspaper.
4. Never jump off a moving car
Wait for it to stop and then look ou'
for traffic
5. Stand still if you get caught in
a traffic jam. 1t may save your life.
6. Children are most likely to in
jury, because they are the most reck
less They should not be permitted tC
roller skate on streets, hitch on backs
of wagons or automobiles, dare each
other to run across the streets H.
front of vehicles, engage in street
fights, build bonfires, play on firt
escapes or roofs. or ide bicycles In
heavy trafficked streets. Parents will
do well to advise their children not
to do these things.
Z. To those who drive woulG
suggest that your responsibility does
not end with the honking of YOU
horn when others are in you" patn.
Don't imagine you are within youl
rights if you go at the maximum
speed allowed by law. You must not
endanger the safety of others.

RISK NAVAL BATTLE

portant fighting being reported from
the southern sector.
In view of the recent rumors of
possible naval activities by the Ger
mans to accompany their land Of
fensive the news from London to-
day showing British naval forces
have been operating in the Cattegat,
the strait between Sweden anc
Denmark and have sunk ten German
trawlers there, is significant.
Still more significant seems the
form of the British announcement
which comes in a report from Vice
Admiral Sir David Beatty, COM
chief of the grand fleet.
This would appear to indicate the
grand fleet is out and possibly pre-
sages most important naval devel-
opments.
Sweep Up Mines
The operation was undertaken yes
terday for the purpose of sweeping
the Cattegat of mines TIE report
shows, and may still be in progress
What further British effort. if any
the operation implies, cannot well be
forecast. 1t is indicative of intensi-
fed British naval activities at any
rate if not. preliminary to far more
important operations on the part OF
the British naval forces.

TO ERECT
ACID WORKS.

Two sulphuric acid plants are be-
ing built near Benton by the United
States government, II to cost $780,
600 to be located near the National
rooster and the other costing $500, 900
will be built near the Skinner roast
er, within four miles of each other.
The larger plant will be operated by
the Vinegar Hill Zinc Co. and the
smaller one will be operated by the
Wisconsin Zinc Co. They will CON-
vert the sulphur fumes emitted from
the roasting plants into sulphuric ac-
i'd, thereby converting a waste pro-
duct into a product which will be used
in the manufacture of explosives. The
capacity of the new plants will be
greater than the present production,
so that the effect of locating this new
industry in the Wisconsin lead and
zinc district will be the opening up
of every low grade mine in the dist
riot.
The Leonard Construction Co., Chi
cago, has the contract for the con-
struction Of these plants. Already
a force Of carpenters is building
boarding houses and bunk shanties,
preparatory to bringing in 400 labor
ing men. The company is offering
40 cents an hour for common labor,
so cents for partially skilled work
men, and 621a cents to rs cents for
skilled mechanics for an eight hour
day with the privilege of working ten
hours a day, time and a half for ov-
er-time. Working ten hours would
give a common 1aborer $40 a shift.
Al man with a team gets 81 a day.
The government will establish a la
Dor agent at Benton.

The pavement dance given Thurs
day evening last by the city band,
attracted a large crowd, not only of
city people but from the adjacent
country. The pavement on the block
on the south of the court house was
used for the purpose and had been
swept clear of dust and enclosed with
rope at either end of the block. The
band was somewhat handicapped by
the absence Of some Of their mem
bers, but the music was good, though
lacking in volume, and was much en-
joyed. Dancing was INDUCED in for
about an hour and a half, but was
found to be much more f~atigueing
than indoor floor dancing. The ev-
ening was most happily spent, how
ever, and the innovation promises to
be even more popular with a few rep
etitions.
