 It will be remembered that in De- cember of last year the executive committee of the International Traf- fife Officers association met in Cleveland, Ohio, to formulate the uni for mtraffic law, to be submitted to the state legislatures throughout the country This law has already been adopted by six states, Utah, Oregon, Washington Idaho, Massachusetts and Maryland, while it seems req sonably certain that it will be adopt ed very shortly by Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylva- nia and Rhode Island. At a meeting at the Yale club in New York city on Sept. 23, the state motor vehicle and highway commissioners of the latter states stated that they were in thor ough accord with the law as drafted ard that it would very likely be adopted intact.
 Public sentiment regarding safety first is rapidly taking shape" stated Captain OConnor, in speaking of his trip. Last year most of the Senti- ment in favor. of safety laws was to be found on the Pacific coast, but we have succeeded in bringing the East err states into line now and they are taking a great deal of interest in the

WHY SEND MILK TO ITALY?

There seems to be very general
impression that the Italian babies are
cared for by the Central European
Relief. This. however, is not the
case, as Mr. Hoover has himself cm-
phatically stated. The Central Euro
pean Relief. as it's name indicates,
ceres for the children OF Central Eu-
ropc-Poland Austria, Hungary and
adjacent states. 100000 children of
these countries have been rescued
this winter, but Italy too, needs help
and we must give both of our SYM
pathy and our substance to her in this
her hour of need.
The question is often asked-"But
why is Italy not able to take care OF
l.cr children?" Under ordinary cir
cumstances. Italy could take care OF
her childrcn-but the circumstances
are extraordinary.
In Italy today q milk famine exists
due to the fact that many cattle
had to be sacrificed the last year of
the war to feed the army. Later the
dread mouth and hoof disease broke
manning milk giving animals. This
has left them with no native milk.
Four years OF devastating war had
left. the nation with enormous war
debts, a deprecated currency and
great scarcity of the necessaries OF
life. AS the currency went down.
the cost OF living went UP. and for
the poor the conditions of existence
became almost unbearable. Foods
were so high and so scarce that in No
vcmber last the Government fount,
ii necessary again to issue food cards
moro stringent than during the
war. and much of Italy's unrest has
been due to the food situation.
Under these conditions. the Italian

not been able to nourish her baby

has happcncd-Italian mothers have
had to feed their babies artificially
The artificial feeding of Il baby is
