"Seven Days for Safety"
One of Plans of Highway
Education Board.

Invitations to fifty representatives
from each of seven groups concerned
In highway safety are bringing a
deIuge of suggestions for incorpora-
Won in a national safety campaign
planned to retard the accident and
death toll of the country, due to
traffic mishaps. according to an
nouncement by the highway educa-
lion board.
Almost without exception. replies
indicate an eagerness for such cam
paign. stressing the timeliness and
need for a national movement of this
nature. Groups requested to offer
suggestions include pupils, teachers.
superintendents of schools. autOmO-
lille clubs. chambers of commerce.
police officials and automobile dealer
associations.
Essay Contest Suggested.
Outstanding suggestions received to
date, it is said. include national
essay contest among all pupils doing
classroom work in the fifth to eighth
grades. a national safety lesson con-
test among teachers, the observance
Of Seven Days for Safety" and the
distribution of pledges of Careful
ness" among pedestrians and drivers
alike. October to IA seems the date
most favorably agreed upon for the
observance of seven Days for Safety"
according to the general tenor of the
letters received.
Several weeks ago the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
offered to set aside approximately
$4,000 in prizes for the best safety
essays and lessons if sufficient inter

the observance of Seven Days for
Safety" or National Safety Week"
il is expected that those in charge of
local campaigns will arrange their
dates to conform. and their activities
to include the salient features OF the
national movement.
Great Success Last Year.
1t is believed the demand for the
safety essay contest and lesson con-
test is largely the result of a similar
campaign conducted by the board
last year. in which more than four
hundred thousand pupils and teachers
submitted manuscripts. One of the
activities suggested for the obsery-
ance of Seven Days for Safety" is
the setting aside of one day for Ma :
tional Fire Prevention Day, and an
other. with regard to the traffic prob
lens surrounding schools, the organi-
zation of traffic patrols among the
larger boys of the various schools.

With regard to Seven Days for

they have demonstrated that safety
is practicable by actually lowering

OF FRENCH ORIGIN
UnbuckIed GaIoshes Can Be
Traced to Historic Incident.
Battle Of steinkirk, In 1892, Laid the
Foundation for the Present
Freakish Fashion.

How many of the young ladies who
parade down Michigan boulevard with
unbuckled galoshes clankine about
their ankles know where and how the
freakIsh fashion originated? asks Il
writer in the Chicago journal.
In July, 1862, the French forces un-
der Marshal Luxembourg were camped
at Stelnklrk, In what Is now Belgium; {;
while six miles away lay the allied
troops under william Ill of England.
The two armies were too evenly bal
anced for either to attack unless II
could secure some special advantage; {;
and the French commander was kept
Informed OF every allied move by a
spy who was chief SECRETARY to one Of
the German princes In the allied ranks
This mans treason was discovered,
pistol was put to his head, and he was
compelled to write and forward let
ter which was trap. II told that
the allies meant to send out foraging
party the next morning, and to guard
this, would occupy the ground be-
tween the two armies with strong de-
tachments of infantry.
With this letter preparing the way
for a surprise, a general assault was
was planned, and came near being sue
cessful. The allied troops, a British
brigade leading almost reached the
French lines before the trick was dis
covered. The French advance guard
was smashed and routed. The Swiss
mercenaries In the French service were
beaten. But then the household troops
of Louis XIV. entered the fray, led by
young mobiles and princes of the blood,
and after terrific struggle the Eng
lish and their allies were driven back.
At that time, the French noble In
military service was as much a dandy
as soldier. He wore lace collar and
cuffs. as costly as his parents could
afford, and arranged with the most
foppish care. But with the English
column smashing Its way into camp,
there was no time for such fine work !;
the heroic dandies charged with col
lars loose and cravats united; and
Paris seized on this disarray and
made a fashion of il TO commemorate
the victory. The name of "Steinkirk"
was given to adornmcnts worn askew
or left happing.
At irregular intervals since then, the
Steinkirk fashion comes back. Gloves
ties, blouscs, all have been worn with
elaborate carelessness which probably
is meant to signify that the wearcr has
plenty more, and would not mind los
ing this one. But never, surely, did
the fad take an uglicr form than in its
present aspect of uunucliled guloshes.
