The tragedies O childhood. Grown-up foSks cannot recall how. when they came to little lives they brought the end of all. They were lot severer than the killin's O today; their happenin's were awful, but the mem'ries fade away. At times in pensive moments you remember that child-lore; perhaps you were but eight years ol' an .that blue sky above looked down at you in sympathy-your little friend was dead. No older one could solve the thoughts that bowed your curly head. Or even when you broke your slate, or tore your raE-doll's face-they both were tragedies that brought sad hours of dire dis grace. Today your good friend passes on: your grief is not intense: you write your sym pathy an then-go mend that broken fence. You have business setback an you're cross about the thing; you're petulant because you hears the Sunday church bells ring. There's jest an ol' an pensive pipe with memories galore. an some O them keeps fillin' up it's smoke ClDuds OCT an 'O'pr

BROOKLYN STRIKE
 TIES UP TRAFFIC
More Than ,t,OOO,OOO People
 Forced to Stay at Home

New York Aug. 3O.-More than 100000 Brooklyn residents who de- pend largely upon the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company to take them to business today were reduced to i'm provised conveyances by the strikc of the company employees that vir- tually paralyzed the entire transit system-subways, elevated roads and trolleys. ,
 The strike went into effect early Sunday morning after the men had previously voted to postpone action pending further attempts to adjust wage demands
 Streets Jar,mcd. Long before the accustomed rush hour the streets were damned with pedestrians looking for vehicles. most of which were even then crowded with jostling passengers. Hundreds of business houses had arranged to have their trucks canvass the homes of their employees, but these failed utterly to accommodate the thou sands who were employed in offices that could furnish no such luXuries.
 Autos Fail.
 Despite the appearance of automo- piles, from limousine to jitney large trucks and horse drawn junk wagons, literally thousands Of pedestrians. after waiting hours Tor even hanging room. swarmed the sidewalks, truds- ing their way to their, distant places of business. Many gave up in dis gust and decided to take a days en- forced vacation.
 May Not End Today.
 Although hearings on the strike sit- uation were called by Lindley M. Garrison. receiver for the company and by Mayor Hylan, there apparent ly was little hope of ending the strike today. MT. Garrison sent a request to companies in New Jersey, Con- necticut and Massachusetts to send as many buses possible to help re- lieve the situation.
 10000 People Carried.
 Commissioner of Plants and Struc- lures Whalen assembled a fleet of several hundred cars carrying approx imately 10000 passengers at a single trip. The fare was five cents.
 Six steamboats and two of the city's police boats carried passengers from Coney Island and East River points.
 One Way Traffic.
 Because of the almost unprecedent- ed jam of vehicular traffic during the early rush hours. the Brooklyn, Man hattan and Williamsburg bridges over the East river were made one way thoroughfares.
 Scenes of Confusion.
 Scenes of confusion were enacted at the bridgeheads where thousands of buses, wagons, touring cars and taxicabs tried to fight their way into the procession toward Manhat- tan.
 Police Help.
 Mounted police and traffic officers strove to maintain order, but the con- gestion increased. Vehicles debauched into the open places at the bridge ends, plunging blindiy into the mael- strom of congestion where they found it impossible to move further or turn around. Hundreds were caught in a tide which swept them into side streets where they were hopelessly marooned.
 In Manhattan a number of the busiest thoroughtares were made one way streets to coordinate with the bridges. B. R. T. officials stated that 42 trains were being operated on the elevated and subway lines. This amounted to less than ten per cent of its normal subway and elevated service, according to public service commission surveys.
