FEDERATION PLANS
ROAD PROGRAM
WOULD EXTEND SCOPE OF
STATE MAINTENANCE
Recommends That State Be Given Al
thority to Eliminate Dangerous
Rural Grade Crossings, and to Codi-
y,
fly Existing Bridge Laws. y

Ironing out defects in existing high
way laws of Ohio, with view to the
filling in of gaps which may exist for
one reason or another in otherwise
nearly improved roads, rather than
seeking anything brand new in the way
of highway legislation is the object Of
the program of the Ohio Good Roads
Federation for the next General AS
sembly. Nv
According to w. A. Alsdorf, chair
man of the legislative committee and
secretary of the Federation, the organ
ization regards the following as among
the principal present-day evils in Ohio
highways: Unimproved sections fire.
quently even without maintenance, in
main market roads; long, unsatisfoc-
tory and improperly marked detours;
village sections of important roads be-
ing unimproved for lack of funds ;death
trap grade crossings in the country;an
inadequate guide post system.
At present the, state highway de-
partment has control of the mainte-
nance only of improved portions of
main market, roads; long, unsatisfac-
ed portions Of such roads, therefore,
frequently receive no attention from
state, county or township. The Fed
Grafton wants such sections to be main
tained by the state.
SO that more attention may be paid
to detours, the Federation proposes
that their cost be made an item in the
cost of construction. Greater pains
will be taken then, it believes, to make
detours seviceable.. . Legislation al
SO will be sought to make detours as
short as possible by forbidding tear
ing up of long stretches before paving
material is in sight.
The state is to be given authority,i If
the Federation's plan goes through, to
pay for all or parto portions of main
market highways within boundaries of
villages financially unable to improve
them.
1t also recommends that the state be
given authority to compel elimination
Of grade crossings in rural sections
which have proven to be death-traps
for the travelling public.
Only few counties, it is said. have
proper systems Of marking highways
with guide posts. The state depart-
ment should have authority to out
line uniform, systematic method and
enforce its observance, the Federation
1 believes.
Codification of bridge laws also is
recommended

DEAD BABIES IN
BED WITH MOTHER
TRAGIC CASE FOUND BY
RED CROSS ATTACHES
Attention Comes Too Late, and Five
Little Children Are Bereft Of Moth
a. Whs Dies in Cleveland Hospital
Who Is To Blame?

The most shocking case Of dones.
tic tragedy and human, distress that
has seldom if ever before come to
light in Medina county, occurred
about two weeks ag6 in Hinckley
township, in the home Of q Polish
family by thsname Of Tyjeroski, and
at was only by mere accident that
the true condition of affairs was
brought to public attention.
The mother had given birth tc
twins and they had died. TAe-bodies
had lain in bed with the weakened
and anquished mother until mortii-
cation had taken place. 1t was at
this time and while the father was
building two rude cofins, that Health
Nurse Constance Hanna and Miss
Minnie Wells of the Red Cross, on
l+other business in Brunswick town
ship, were told of the awful conditions
in the Tyjeroski home, and promptly
went there, finding the situation as
above described.
Five children, the oldest about 10,
were running about the house with
scarcely sufficient clothing ID cover
J their nakedness, while the mother was
desperately trying to direct the af-
fairs Of the house from her bed Of
sickness. "A batch Of bread was
found burned, the dough for which
had been kneaded by the mother, ,and
she was at work on little shrouds for
her babies as Nurse Hanna and
Miss Wells entered the house. +. ].
NJ III. #. F. Ayres Of Hinckley attend
ed THE woman at confinement. Why
some one was not sent to the home
to care for the woman, or the case
promptly brought to the attention Of
tie county nuTse or township author
tiles, remains TO be explained. n
Aside frpm the naturally weakened
condition Of the mother, septic, pois-
\ oning had set lin, and her condition
l was plainly critical. Nurse Hanna
summoned DIR. Ayres at once and ar
rangements were made for the trans
ferance of the woman to Cleveland
hospital, tho against the protests Of
both the father and mother, the lat
ter 10th to be separated from her lit
tie family. !. n
I The poor woman passed away the
following day.
It is not unlikely that her life
might have been preserved had the
conditions in the home been promptly
reported to the. proper ones, as they
should have been. Consciously the
people of Medina county would not
permit such a. tragedy to be enacted
in their midst.
The mother is gone. What is go
ing to become of the five sorrowed
ana impoverished little ones who ar, are
bcreft? y ~

Be that as it may, the meeting was
remarkable for orderliness, the close
attention given to each speaker, and
above all the uteer fairness of the
speakers in their addresses, which in
essence were the same as the signed
statements Of Mr.. Root and Mr.,
Woods published In the Sentinel last
week. The addresses, were but elab-
orations of the statements, and were
cogent, forceful and roundly applaud
ed. 2
Mr.. A. d. Aylard, also lifelong
Republican, but who with many 9th
ers was unable to swallow the un-
coated Republican pill Of 1920, pre-
sided at the meeting.
+ Following the addresses of Mr..
Root and Mr.. Woods, Chairman AyA
lard introduced Col. Francis Raines
of Akron, who gave a most excellent
address. Mr.. Raines is an ex-ser-
vice man, was formerly deputy at
torney general of New York state,
campaign manager for h Theodore
and was present at the
peace conference at Versailles. Il
With the gentlemen who preceded
him Col. Raines was for the League

Election is over and the Democrats
were whipped to a frazzle, being left
nothing but memory, which, after
all, is the only friend that grief can
call it's own.
The Republican pluralties in Medina
county conceded in percentage with
practically every place in the country;
better than two to one.
The campaign in Medina county this
year, while not particularly aggressive
at least at the beginning, waxed warm
at various times as election day ap-
preached, tho confined principally to
the heads of the national and state
tickets and the candidates for Con-
gress from this the 18th district.
Voters, both men and women, turn
ed out to vote in unusual numbers,
notwithstanding the Storm that broke
at dawn Tuesday and continued inter
mittently throughout most of the day.
Republicans and Democrats alike
were in an expectant mood all day land
groups from both parties remained up
most of Tuesday night, the Republi-
cans too happy to lose a moment in
slumber, and the Democrats hoping
against hope and perhaps ashamed to
go home after such a trimming.
Returns were received at several
places in town. The Winyah club had
q special wire and operator at their
rooms, while Democrats at their head
quarters received the same returns by
messenger. AS usual returns were
received by many Republicans at the
county sheriff's Office.
The election judges and clerks had
q strenuous time Of it, on account of
the large nnmber Of ballots cast, and
because Of the long time required for
counting them. Those in charge Of
Precinct G, arrived home just in nice
time for breakfast.
As the election was entirely one-sid-
ed, interest will center for the most
part on the relative party votes, which
appears iii an official abstract III an
other part Of the Sentinel, from which

NATIONAL DODGERS ARE SHUT OUT IN FINAL STRUGGLE; SCORE 3 TO 0

fensive work of the other members
 of the Cleveland club cannot be dim-
 med by the individual glory of their
 star boxman. The Indians, as a team,
 grew more impressive as the series
 progressed and their feat in winning l four straight games from Brooklyn
 after getting away to an indifferent
 start, stamps the club as one deserv- | ing all the support anG enthusiasm
 which their efforts have evoked Indians Prove Right
 i In shutting out the Nationals in the | final clash the Indians, led by Mama ger Iris Speaker, rose to playing heights which bore out the complete confidence of the club packers and
 right to wear the baseball crown of
 the universe. They reached the spit ters of Burleigh Grimes, the National league star deliverer of this type of
 pitching for seven solid hits and clinch
 cd the game before the half way mark
 and topped the play with several pieces of baseball strategy that dem- onstrated the possession of mental alertness which marks the difference
 between a keen thinking and a me-
 chanical playing club.
 Appreciated by Cleveland That these outstanding features
 were appreciated by the Cleveland fol- lowers of the club and the middle western section of the country general | ly has been apparent since the day the team returned from Brooklyn. But today the demonstration which mark ed the final putout of Myers and clinched the championship for the h.
 dians, surpassed any similar scene in several seasons. Thousands of men,
 boys and women poured out of the bleachers and stands and engulfed the lanche. It was a continuous battle for the members of the team In their
 march toward the dugout with scores ! of fans endeavoring to shake hands or
 pat them on the back.

Tonight Cleveland is celebrating in a manner in keeping with the honor and it is doubtful if a government proclama- tion announcing the selection of this city as the future capital of the Unit ed States would create ripple of in terest among frenzied fans.
 SpitbaII HurIer Made Good
 The shutout victory was chiefly en- gineered by Stanley Coveleskie, the spitball hurler of the local team, who has proved to be pitcher of remark able skill and endurance during the series. Backed by an airtight defense on the part of his team mates at the critical moments, the Shamokin, Pa, coal miner, let the Robins down with five hits. But TWO Brooklyn players reached second base and but five of the invaders were left on bases.
 Most Trustworthy Factor
 Coveleskies feat in winning three of the five games necessary to clinch the championship for Cleveland will go down as one of the outstanding fea- lures of the worlds series history and one of the most prominent and praise worthy factors in struggle which has furnished more startling incidents than any similar series in years. The Brooklyn batters accumulated but two runs off the moistened slants of Covey, as he is affectionately called here, in 27 innings in which he off ciated on the hurling mound. He let the Robins down with one run iii the first contest at Brooklyn on Oct. 5, allowed them a second tally on Sat is doubtful if more masterly eXhibi- tion of pitching has been flashed be- fore the fans in any world series since 1905 when Christy Mathewson. then at the zenith of his twirling career with the New York Giants, shut out the Philadelphia Athletes in three games.

Trampsafe went. three quarters of this heat in 1:30 1-4 and was pulled up at the wire. She was considered a sure winner of the next heat but Frisco June displayed sen sational speed and broke Trampsafe's new record.
