SAFETY CAMPAIGN
TO END ACCIDENTS
continued rom First PAGE

stress was laid by a number OF speak
ers on the necessity OF a vigilance
/, committee to aid the police authorities
In checking up on violstors Of the
traffic rules. r.. H. Durham advocated
the formation OF a school Of instruc-
tion for chauffeurs. and II was urged
by Chief Black that there should be
stricter rules governing the issuance OF
drivers licenses. Chief Black remark
ed that the police were badly handl-
capped In the enforcement Of traffic
laws by the lack OF teeth" IN the law.
Street Commissioner Plerson said thai
laws were now in the process OF prep
aratlon In this regard.
Gamble Latrobe told OF speeding a,
nights along King street, especially by
taxicab drivers, and recommended that
officers be stationed along this thor
Oughfare at ghts.
The salient point OF the meeting was
the great number OF constructive and
helpful suggestions for making the
movement a success that were voiced
from the floor when Mr.. Marvel opened
the meeting 30 discussion
Former Governor Charles r. Miller
drew attention TO the dangers existing
at the High School. where a number
Of students crossed Delaware avenue,
apparently without regard In many
cases, TO the dangers created by the
traffic there.
The melting was opened by Lewis A.
DeBlols. president OF the Delaware Safe
ly Council, who drew attention 20 the
fact that there was a fertile field In
Wilmington and the rest OF the State
for safety work He introduced Carl
Smith. public safety feld secretary OF
the National Safety Council, who told
the meeting what had been accomplished
In other cities. He called attention 20
the great waste OF life that annually
Is caused by preyentablc accidents on
the streets OF the cities and said that
70 per cent OF all such accidents can
be prevented. A persistent and ALL
embracing educational campaign was
necessary, he SAID He called attention
TO the fact that the police department.,
automobile drivers, judges and pedes-
trians must all have the necessity OF saw
ing lives brought home to them and
laid stress on the educational program
that ought 10 be carried on IN the
schools. Mr.. Smith told how accidents
on the streets had been reduced I'm st.
Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and other
cities and predicted that the serious
movement, lnaugurated here, would
have likewise a far-reaching beneficial
effect.
The nominating committee that rec
commended officers for the movement
was composed OF Irenee dupont. former
Governor Charles Il. Miller and Joseph
Bancroft. 10 was decided that the ex-
ecutive committee OF the Delaware
Safety Council and the officers OF the
public safety committee constitute an
executive COMMITTEE for the movement.
Mr.. Marvel announced that hs would al
once take into consideration the ap-
polntment OF necessary committees.

But, if the records make by the
various men TINS season may be tax
en- as an accurate criterion of their
ability, the White Sox gardeners
have the edge on their opponents.
Enough for Controversy.
The mention of such men as
Felsch, Jackson and Liebold. veterans
of the 1917 worlds series against
the New York Giants, coupled with
those of Roush. the leading slugger
of the Red aggregation Neale, Ma
gee and Duncan, a new conner, is
sufficient to start controversy among
the fans regardless of what the fig
ures say. Already there is talk that
Roush will outhit the mighty Jack
son, and that Felsch and Liebold,
will not compare with Neale, Magee
and Duncan.
Duncan is a fair batter but a fast
fielder His hitting will not compare
with that of Jackson. who is topping
the White Sox w;th an average which
has been lowering around $50 the
latter part of the season. Duncan
has been hitting around .255, while
his fielding average has been around
1862. That of Jackson has been
around .971
There is some doubt just how the
outfelders will line up for the open
ing game. Manager Gleason will
have Jackson in left field, and Felsch
in center. The right field will be as
signed to either John Collins or Lie
bold, the choice for this position rest
ing upon whether Manager Moran
sends a right handler or southpaw
to the mound in the opening game.
May Shift at Last Moment.
The Reds will have Duncan, their
new man in the left field garden,
with Roush opposing Felsch in center
field. Neale will be assigned to the
right field position. However, Man
ager Moran at the last moment may
decide to shift these players and send
Sherwood Magee, a veteran to the
out garden in the opening conflict.
There should be an interesting
struggle between the veteran Jack
son for the White Sox and Duncan
Moran's rookie Duncan never has
been under fire in a series of this
kind but his work since joining the
Red aggregation has been of such

best in the major leagues and their
work undoubtedly will be watched
with keen interest during the cham
pionship contests.
Considered broadly, the men who
will form the last lines of defense
for the contending teams measure up
to all the requirements sought in out
er gardeners.
Defensively they are sure and
quick judges of fly balls, steady on
grounders past the infeld, possess
powerful arms and can make quick
decision when there is choice of one
or more plays. Offensively some of

Material Costs Not as
High as Other Needs
Such Is the Opinion of S. w.
straus in Urging Now Is
the Time to Build

other things have increased in cost
as we'll as materials, is the way S. W.
Straus, of S. W. Straus, puts it in urg-
ing prospective builders to build now.
Materials have not gone up in price.
he says, as much as food, clothing and
commodities in general.
The government index number of
all building materials" he says, tex
elusive of steel, had risen 81 per cent
at the end of the war, as compared with
the index number of 1918. During the
same period the index number for COM
modities, exclusive of building ma
terials, had risen 113 per cent. The
average wages in the construction in
dustry in the leading cities of the
United States increased less than 80
per cent during the four-year period
prior to the ending of the war, while
wages in all commodities increased "a
per cent during the same time.
The hesitation in the building in
dustry is due to the fact that present
prices seem high when compared with
pre-war standards, but when they are
compared with other commodities they
are low. The record of prices shows
that there always has been a general
upward tendency, and that with each
new adYance costs seemed high by way
Of comparison with previous levels.
The same is true now.
Artificial efforts to stimulate build
ing will not be as productive of results
as general acceptance of the fact
that building costs are not coming
down. The individual who has in con-
temptation owning his own home will
find no better time to build than now.
