BLAME PARENTS
Killing of Children by Autos on
Public Streets Justly Laid to
Parents Carelessness by
Coroner.

The Chicago Eagle has frequently
urged the arrest and punishment of
parents who allow their children to
play in the public streets. More plav-
grounds should be established but chill
dren should be kept off the streets.
whether they are or not. Coroner
Hoffman knows what he is talking
about when he speaks of children
killed by automobiles. Seven hundred
lives, 300 of them children, will be
toll eXacted in Cook county this year.
he predicted
Children are not supposed to use
the streets for Fairgrounds, yet in
nearly every block there is a baseball
game in the street." the coroner as
serted. From personal experience I
have learned that these children dis
regard horns and other signals of mo-
tor1sts, and even deliberately throw
bats and jeer at them.
More parks and Fairgrounds would
help to keep the children from the
streets and would reduce the accident
risk. The playground movement was
started years ago by the late Aid. AL
bert w. Beilfuss of the Fourteenth
ward. 1t is Time some new champion
arose to push the cause"
Much OF the blame for the killing of
children by automobiles should be
placed on the parents, according to
Coroner Hoffman Parents should in
slst that their children stay out of the
streets. During the first few days of
vacation from school which have Just
passed several children have been
killed by autos.
Sixty per cent of the collisions of
automobiles are due to reckless driy-
ing, says the coroner.
1t seems that Chicago will never
wake up and realize how bad the stu
alton is" he said. 81 have been lee
turing in churches and clubs three
nights week recently, trying to edu-
cate the public in safety methods, but.
Judging from the number of cases
that continue 20 pour into my office
the public has not co-operated."

Former Mayor Fred A. Busse's es-

Gus parties did not as published show
any claim filed by Uncle Sam. Many
people thought that Urcle Sam would
file big claim for the services of
Brigadier General Leroy T. Steward.
superintendent of City Delivery in the
Post Office, who was loaned to the
Busse administration for over two
years, so that the city could use his
valuable services as Chief of Police.
When the loan was called or rather
when the City Government changed
hands, Brigadier General Steward
went back to the post Office pay roll,
where he still is. But Uncle Sam has
never been paid for the valuable SER
vices he rendered the city.

who could sweep Chicago clear for the

dinner:
Oscar Mayer would only accept a
Democratic nomination for mayor on
one condition and that is that he be
allowed to turn it over to his best

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

In honor of Mrs. Mary E. Forney
of Moscow, wife of Judge J. H. For
ney, first acting president of the
University of Idaho, the new women
dormitory to be constructed at I
cost of 100000 by the University Of
Idaho Building association, will be
named the Mary E. Forney Hail.
This means of paying tribute 10
Mrs. Forney in appreciation of her
helpful interest in the welfare OF the
university and also in recognition OF
the work of Idaho club women was
suggested to the building association
by President A. H. Upham and met
with instant approval. The executive
committee of the university was also
unanimous in approving the plan.
Ever since the establishment of the
university Mrs. Forney has been one
of its mos able and influential sup
porters. Her interest and assistance
has been reflected in the steady
SIOWln Oh the INSTITUTION.
Most of Mrs. Forney's public work
has been in the interests of education.
She is in a great measure respons-
ible for the securing OF a Carnegie
library for Moscow. She conducted
correspondence with Andrew Carne-
gle which resulted in creation of a
$4,000 library fund. She served
for nine years as a member of the
library board.
During the war Mrs. Forney served
as secretary of the women's commit
tee, council of national defense. and
of the navy league, and as women.s
chairman in the Liberty Loan drives.
Her first work for the university
was done in 1929, shortly after
the opening of the institution. She
was president of the Columbian club
which raised money for the pur-
chase of silver book for exhibition
at the Columbian exposition Later
the book was presented to the univer-
sity and when the administration
building burned in 1906 this book
was one of the first things to be saved
by President MacLean.
She was leader in interesting
students in social life and used her
influence to broaden the socialfeat-
ures of the college students outlook.
She was one of the first tdvocates of
physical training and education for
women.
After the organization of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs much
assistance was given the university
by the club women. Mrs, Forney was

time an effort was made to apportfon
the small university student loan
fund among all state institutions.
She opposed the division on the basis
that funds could only be used for the
institutions for which they were
raised and saved the entire fund for
use at the university.
During the last few years Mrs.
Forney has been the local member
of the university student scholarship
loan committee. This Commuters
work has been largely responsible
for managing of student loans ag-
gregating $4,000, which have en-
aDled many students to continue their
college work in face of trying finan-
Gil difficulties.

TO THE BEE KEEPERS IN IDAHO


/ wonder if you recall the fact that
Moses Alexander all through his
campaign in 1914 made statement
in the course of each speech detri-
mental to the bee industry, that was
absolutely false, and that he knew
was false?
| That statement was to the effect
that the former Legislature, in order
to fill a vacant room in the new
Capitol building, and to provide one
more office holder, had created the
| office of State Bee Inspector, at a sal
airy of 100000 and the people were
stung again.
The facts are that the Legislature
created no such Office and appropri-
ated no such salary. You undoubted-
ly know that for over twenty years
the State Horticultural inspector has
been ex-officio State Bee Inspector
and required to perform the duties
without any additional salary. You
also know that the only money ever
appropriated in the interest of the bee
industry was appropriated for the
employment of deputy bee inspectors
who were appointed at the request
of the honey producers associations
or of the bee keepers of certain Sec.
lions.
You also undoubtedly remember
that when the Legislature of 1915
convened the honey producers asso-
Citations sent delegation to Boise 70
for the enactment of a new bee in
pection law, that would give them
better protection against the spread
of foul brood and other bee diseases.
This delegation drew up the bill they
desired to have passed by the Legs
lature, and before introducing it they
submitted it to Governor Alexander.
Governor Alexander, after suggesting
one or two changes in the bill, which
were made, told the delegation that
if they could get the bill passed by
the Legislature he would approve and
sign it.
The delegation remained in Boise
Tor over thirty days, at considerable
expense, and finally succeeded in
getting the bill through both houses
of the Legislature. Governor Alex
ander then promptly vetoed the bill
after having promised to sign it. the
reason he vetoed it was because the
bill took the appointment Of the
deputy bee inspectors out of his
hands as political plums and pro-
gided that they should be appointed
on the recommendations of the bee
keepers associations.
Are you willing to vote for the
reelection of a man who displayed
such an attitude of antagonism 70
your industry?

spector and Ex-Oficio Bee
Inspector.
