The oil. you see, softens the

and to be a good fielder you must
have a pocket in your glove.

SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN
Many Requirements Furnish Variety
Of Topics for Essays and Oral
Discussion.

prepared by the United States Depart.
mcnt of Agriculturel
The many requirements for safety
will furnish n variety of topics for
school children's essays and oral dis
cussion. The dangers of railroad
crossings AZ grade. the economic jus
~tification for abollshing them. the i'm
portance Of an unobstructed view up
and down the track as a vehicle
approaches. and the disadvantage of
sharp turns. ETC., are suggestive
subjects. Similarly there might also
be mentioned the questions raised by
street intersections and turns. In
every town there are many crossings
where the autoist's view is unnec-
e~ssarlly limited by fences. %shrubbery,
or buildings; or where sharp curves
with limited visibility invite serious
accidents. Guideposts, markers, and
other signs for the most efficient guild
ance OF traffic through thickly settled
communities also are part of the
bigger and more inclusive topics OF
the economic Importance Of safety and
atAuui ilohts Nuiht vi
human life and of accident prevention.
Another question, In solving which
the engineer and economist will need
the help OF enlightened public opinion
(and this enlightenment should start
In the public %schools), is that of the
relation OF the public highways to
railroads and canals. The advantage
of long hauls by rail and short hanls
by motor truck feeding into main
terminal points by radiatirg systems
Of highways; a division OF the trans
portation burden by parallel systems
tion. are some OF the subdivisions OF
this general heading.
This listing of topics is not intended
to be complete or exact, but merely
suggestive. Those which refer to con.
%struction could best be utilized when
construction work is In progress in
the vicinity of n school. Many of the
other topics may be studied from
maps, of which the students might be
required to make tracings or free-hand
sketches showing the particular
features for which emphasis Is desired
or regarding which the exercise Is
being written. State highway depart

T rHOOSING a costume for the bride
~ Is n momentous matter. but not

mother of the bride or groom Is alb

They must not make the pathetic mis-
take Of dressing too youthfully or the
