TAUGHT 70 AVOID RIsAAfs
tIey London Children Ara sslns ,o'

on the Street.

On the London streets II is becoming
a familiar sight to see children playing
their new traffic" game, London dis
patch states. The promoters Of the
safety first" crusade have invented
games of mlmicry which appeal TO the
children's Imagination and establish a
habit of caution. They pay forfeits for
not watching the proper moment to
cross the road, and the careful reap the
rewards.
Here a group of children will be
formed into a long queue, "a train; :"
they will start off at full tilt along the
sidewalk. hoOting and whistling, to be
stopped arbitrarily, while another child
playing policeman" escorts other play
ers in the game across in front Of the
train"
by similar methods the children are
being taught how and when to cross
the street, how and when not to cross,
how TO get off bus-there is forfeit
if the passenger doesn't look both
ways before leaving safety-and how
to avoid the danger zones. They are
also establishing the safety" sense,
and accidents are being reduced in
number.
Street accidents have reached tre-
mendOus figures In the last two years.
The London boys playground is the
street, and it is during play hours that
accidents are most numerous. -.

ENDURANCE TEST
FOR SADDLE HORSES
TO Be Held Under Supervision Of
Government Agancies-Five-
Day Test Over 300-Mile
Course.

Army men NJ others who are alive
to the coun,ry's acute under-supply
of first class cavalry and general
utility horses, as the shortage of them
was brought painfully to light during
the recent World War. are looking for
ward to the Endurance Test for saddle
horses set for next October.
This test, designed to promote the
breeding OF more and better work
types, and to improve the material
suitable for army mounts, Is to be q
very severe one, conducted by repre-
sentatives Of the War Department,
Army Remount Service and the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Depart.
ment Of Agriculture, along with those
of our great institutions maintained
in the interest of pure bred horses,
including the American Remount As
sociation, Thoroughbred Endurance
Test Club, National Saddle Horse
Club, Arabian Horse Club OF America,
National Steeplechase and Hunt Asso-
citation and American Hackney Horse
Society. Also, its conditions make the
Endurance Test Of special interest to
Kentuckians.
The distance 600 miles cross
country will be traversed sixty miles
a day for FIVE consecutive days, regard
less or weather, over course to be
selected by the committee in charge.
Each horse shall carry no less than
245 pounds, made up. according to the
rules governing, OF the riders live
weight, plus so much dead weight in
equipment.
First prize will be 5000, the Mounted
Service Cup, Blue Ribbon and the
Arabian Horse Club Medal; second
prize. s400 and Red Ribbon; third
prize $500 and Yellow Ribbon; fourth
prize, 5000 and White Ribbon; fifth
prize, $3.50 and Grey Ribbon; sixth
prize 500 and Black and White Rib
bon. Prizes will be awarded on the
basis Of 500 for condition of the horse
and 400 for speed-a standard that
points to the bottom and swiftness OF
the thoroughbred strain as the one
likely to produce the winner.
The War Department is evincing
the keenest interest, because the result
will further the splendid work of the
Army Remount Association and the
other patriotic organizations that have
undertaken the work OF breeding
cavalry horses TO answer the require
ments OF the army In times OF peace
and its imperative demands in war.
1t is the opinion Of experts, based
on actual experience during the World
War. that thoroughbred blood is neces-
sary to the production of the cavalry
mount Of requisite speed. courage and
endurance. Kentucky, therefore. has
q paramount interest. because the
fountain-head Of the purest thorough
bred strain flows perpetual In this
favored land OF ours.

OUR FoREFATHBRS MADE
USE OF NATURAL DYES
The farm or village boy who,
playing Gypsy" or "Injun," be-
gins by collecting walnut shueks,
still exists. And, late I'm Septem-
Der and October, schoolboys
whose hands carry the almost
ineradicable evidence Of nutting
excursions are as numerous as
ever. The walnut shuck was on
ly one source Of the home dye,
i'm old-fashioned times. Even
today, In some districts, various
dyes, the coloring material OBJ
tanned from the farm, are In
scattered use.
The shuck Of the black wal
nut is used to make a brown
dye. Sumac makes a slate color
on cotton, nearly black on wool.
The ripe "bobs" Of the sumac
bush are used. From the bark
of the white oak, also the soft
maple, a dye coloring drab Is
obtained.
With all these home dyes,
setting solution Is required.
Copperas water Is generally
used. The farmwife's rule Is
to use, in a quantity of hot
water which will cover two to
four pounds of goods, all the
copperas which will dissolve.
Thus with sumac, the dyeing
operation begins with the ex-
curslon to the pasture, where
about eight quarts Of the "bobs'
are collected. These are boiled In
sufficient water to cover two To
four pounds of goods. The dye
IS strained, and the dyelng oper-
alton begins, the dampened
goods being placed in the dye
and then the copperas solution,
alternately. AS substitute for
copperas, strong soapsuds are
occasionally used.
OF course, this old-fashioned
way Of dyelng is slow and cum
bersome. The variety Of col
ors, the shades, open to the
farm.wife are few. The results
are not especially beautiful.
Something primitive In the farm
family preserves them There

GOVERNOR VETOES | SUNDAY BALL BILL
Also Denounces Sunday Movies Law Adopted by Session of
 Two Years Ago.

To the surprise of everyone in the state, even those "Blue-laW" advocates who had opposed 1t Governor Lake this week vetoed the Sunday recreation bill recently passed by the General As smbly and under which professional base ball and other sports were permissible Governor Lake in his veto declared the bill "One of the greatest menaces to the stability of the nation" He charged that the General Assembly had erred and that the majority of the people of the state were opposed to the provisions of the measure
 In his veto Governor Lake also held that Sunday movies, approved by the General Assembly in 1919 over Governor HOlcomb's veto, and the present proposed bill were in line with the attempt to break down the Christian Sabbath on the in stall1nent plan.
 The bill was adopted in the House after a long and spirited debate several weeks ago. Leader Buckley summing up the features of the 1nea sures of those in favor of such legislation. The bill was raised by the committee on the judiciary following hearings held on number of Sunday bills. Under the provisions of the bill the towns have local option in deciding on whether to allow Sunday baseball and football after o'clock in the afternoon.
 The veto will come up for action on Tuesday in the House and an attempt made to pass the law over the governor s head. This is hard job, but was done with Governor Hoco1nbs veto of the Sunday movie, bill, which Lake also de nOunCeS

 quickly saw that I would have diff ficulty in escaping the fangs of the beast on a straightway course, and so I met his charge by doubling in my tracks and leaping over him as he was almost upon me. This maneuver gave me a considerable advantage and l was able to reach the city quite bit ahead of him, and as he came tearing after me jumped for a window about thirty feet from the ground in the face of one of the buildings overlooking the valley.
 Grasping the sill I pulled myself up into the building, and gaZed down at the baff1ed animal beneath me. My exultation was short-lived, however, for scarcely had I gained a secure seat upon the sill than huge hand grasped me by the neck from behind and dragged me violently into the room. Here I was thrown upon my back, and beheld standing over me a colossal ape-like creature, white and hairless except for an enormous shock of bristly hair upon its head.

She was of a light OIlve-green color, with a smooth, glossy hide. Her name. as I afterWard learned, was SOla, and she belonged to the retinue of Tars Tarkas. She conducted me to a spa ciOus chamber in one of the buildings fronting on the plaza, and which. from the litter of silks and furs upon the floor, I took to be the sleeping quar- ters of several of the natives.
 Sola motiOned me to be seated upon a pile of silks near the center of the room, and, turning, made peculiar missing sound, as though signaling to some one in an adjoining room. In response to her call I obtained my first sight of new Martian wonder. It waddled in on its ten short legs, and sQuatted down before the girl like an obedient puppy. The thing was about the size of Shetland pony, but it's head bore a slight resemblance to that of a frog, except that the jaws were equipped with three rows of long, sharp tusks.
