Youngsters ARE
ACCIDENT VICTIMS
One in Three Killed Is Under
20 Years Of Age

Hartford, Sept. 21.-7fMore than one
out of every three Pc rsons killed by
automobiles in Connee ticut is under
90 years old. Practica lily two out of
every three of these are children under
10 years old. Approxi, nately % per
cent. of all persons killed by auto
mobiles are under s yea RS old. These
figures were given out to-day at the
motor vehicle department as part of
the Safety First effort q show the
need for the exercise OF igreater care
by parents, as these little victims are
NOR dependent on the cal y Of others
than themselves.
1t is shown by records aor, the state
department of health than the per-
centagc of automobile fatal,ttes among
children under 20 years ON as COM
pared with the number of Individuals
exposed, is tremendous. 1t Ais for this
reason that considerable of the effort
of Safety First week is bea 'ng spent
to supply by teaching and s,t pervision
the lack of experience of Chi Mren.
Out of 1,267 people killed by auto
mobiles in Connecticut in thirteen
years, 296 were under 10 VI ars old.
164 were between 10 and 20;g Ls9 be-
tween 20 and 80; 16S between, 30 and
tween SO and so; 101 between ei0 and
70: 65 between 0and so: IA b. ,tween
so and 90; two between 90 ah'd 100
and five were of undetermined ages.
People between 20 and 10 yeas rs old
are classified in the motor vehicl de-
partment as the adults or experit nced
group, and the fact that the prnpor-
ton of accidental deaths to the ibotal
number such adults using the str 'eets
and highways is much smaller tina n in
other groups, is taken to indicate that
experience in taking care" is a ls nge
factor for reduction. AS the individ .ual
grows older and more experienced. he
becomes more careful and less apt to
be killed. This being the ,experiens cd
group, teaching Is no longer possn ne
in the school sense of the term, but
betterment in this group must be STD
cured through ita own efforts. Sent-
teaching, realization of responsibilities ;.
so far as the individual is concerne
and severe and just discipline through
courts and police agencies are calledi
for.

department as the class in which ply

including the aged and infirm to an
extent where declining health enters
to make the faculties less active.
Supervision and advice by third per-
sons is considered necessary for many
in this group. calling for care by the
natural guardians of such persons.
Authorities agree that If education
on this subjest starts with child in
it's infancy and is adapted and keeps
pace with it's gradually increasing
knowledge and experience, then it is

these will become definite and perman-

percentage of accidents until mini

TRAFFIC PROBLEMS
BAD IN NEW YORK
Merchants Complain About One Way
Streets and Signals Are Now
Being Tried

New York, Sept. 21.-Again they're
tinkering with New York's traffic.
The police department long has been
unable to dodge the law of physics that
two objects can't occupy the same
spa,e at the same minute. And with
the number of automobiles increasing
daily and the crowd Of pedestrians hold
ing it's own, the traffic problem is be-
coming worse.
In the old days, traffic went up and
down Broadway much the same way it
does in any Main street the country
over-though with the same hectic con-
fusion that reigns in the subways be-
meath the world-famous thoroughfare.
But a little while ago it was de-
cided that at night, at hours when most
theatergoers were bound up Manhat-
tan to their. homes, Broadway between
3Sth and 57th streets should become a
one-way street.
Now that plan has been abandoned.
Merchants have complained that the
northbound nightly traffic was diverting
to other thoroughfares business which
should come to them.
So Special Deputy Police Commits
sioner Harris has ruled that for a 30
day period two-way traffic shall be re-
stored--to be regulated by signal tow
ers such as have been operating for
many months on Fifth avenue Signal
lamps atop these towers command traf-
fic all along Fifth avenue to halt or
proceed at the same moment. If cou-
pie of experimental towers work out all
right on Broadway, the city will be ask
ed to install more.

Harper Pitches Club to Victory
Over Detroit

New York, Sept. 21.-The fork hand
twister of Hackensack, Harry Harper,
wove a deceptive trail around the bats
of the Detroit sluggers at the Polo
Grounds yesterday, and the Yankees
again saw the see-saw act with the
Cleveland Indians, who were taking
tumble before the Red Sox at Bos-
ton. Harper's superb fiinging, coupled
with one outburst of stickwork by the
Hugmen, set the Tigers down with a
to defeat and back into first place
rode the Yankees. Close to $4,000
looked on in fear and trembling that
the Hugmen might blow up again AS
they did in the second game of the
series on Monday. and the affair was
close enough to keep the fans from
breathing normally until Bobby Jones
fouled to Mike McNally for the third

three bats in his menacing way.

LITTLE HILDA TURNER

Death seeks shining mark The fairest and sweetest flowers must fade. The brighest days have their clouds. On last Wednesday morn ing, May II, about eight o'clock, after several days of severe illness, Little Hilda, the beautiful little twin sister of Helen Turner, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. J. F. Turner of Vineyard, about five years old, quietly fell asleep. Not only in the arms of mother and loved ones, but in the arms of the Savior of little children, Who is ever taking them up in the arms of His love and mercy and blessing them. The scene at the home was doubly sor- rowful in that the mother and all the other children of the home were so bad off from the poison or in- lection from which they have been suffering for several days, and from which little Hilda died. The grand father, Mr. McCue from Greenville. South Carolina, and other relatives were present. Funeral services were conducted at the home Thurs day morning, the 18th, at ten o'clock Dy heV. W. n. JOnnStOn or Mar1an- na, assisted by Rev. T. F. Patterson of Vineyard The music arranged by Mrs. Beatty and friends was most beautiful and comforting. The flor al tributes and the large gathering of loving and sympathizing friends bespeaks the love and esteem in which the home and little Hilda are held. Physicians and friends did all they could, but her going seemed to be Gods way. She was beautifully laid to rest in the Rondo Cemetery. Her going leaves va cant chair and the lonely heart, but heaven is made brighter and the angelic Host of little ones who have gone on before us is made larger. 'ln heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in Heaven" The anchor and comfort of every broken home is this: The Great Family Reunion, When Loved Ones Shall Meet to Part No More.-Contribut
