Expert Tells Chiefs of Police
That Standardization
Must Come.

A trafic law that would stand
ardize in So far as possible the regu-
latory measures in all cities OF the
United States and Canada was rec
commended by George A Walters, at

best way to bring about improved
trafnc conditions, the secretary as
serted
Secretary Walters told the police
officials what had been accomplished
In Detroit in trafic regulation and
safety first through the joint ef-
forts of the police department, De-
troit Automobile Club and other
agencies. He cited the various
regulatory laws obtained, including
the negligible homicide law, opera
tors license law. headlight law, DO
lice examination of licensed chauf-
feurs and the certificate of title act.
The success of the joint efforts
along safety lines was shown by the

nc accidents in Detroit. He cited
1920 and 1921 figures, which showed
that In the first five months OF last
year ninety-seven persons were
killed in these accidents, and in the

tion of more than SO per cent. This
saving of life was due entirely TO
the joint safety campaign, Mr.. Wal

Il consider the work of Pepgen in

She was troubled with worms and I'M

condition. Pepgen relieved her of the
worms. She is now able to sleep
soundly ali night without interruption.
MY other little girl, Annabelle, who

We had her take Pepgen. The second

OF PEACE SENTIMENT
tRy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-In a mes
sage to 10000 congregations. the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America has issued call to
the religious elements of the country
to seize the priceless opportunity
offered by the conference on the
limitation Of armament. and to cult
vate a Christian public opinion so
strong that it will make possible the
richest results
I'VE cannot be satisfied with mild
curtailment of our military expendi-
lures" says the call. Nothing less
than far-reaching reduction of
armament on sea and land can suffice. "
According to the statement, it is not
the idea OF the churches "to dictate the
specific plan by which the longed-for
goal may be achieved" But" it con-
tinues, insist we must, with all the
passion of our souls, that rational and
pacific methods must now be found for
the settlement OF international dis
putes."
