MANY SOURCES OFFER
SAFETY SUGGESTIONS

WASHINTON, Sept. 9.-Invltation.
to fifty representatives from each OF
seven groups concerned in highway
safety are bringing a deluge of sugges-
tions for incorporation in a national
safety campaign planned to retard the
accident and death toll of the country
due to traffic mishaps according to
announcement by the Highway Edu-
cation 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, automobile
clubs, chambers of commerce, police
officials and automobile dealer asso-
Citations.
Outstanding suggestions received to
date, it is said, include a national es-
say contest among all pupils doing
class room work in the fifth to eighth
grades, national safety lesson con-
test among teachers, the observance of
Seven Days for Safety" and the dis
tribution of Pledges of Carefuness''
among pedestrians and drivers alike.
October 5 to IA seems the date most
favorably agreed upon for the observ-
ance of Seven Days for Safety" ac-
cording to the general tenor of the let
ters received.
Several weeks ago the National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce Of
fered to set aside approximately six
thousand dollars in prizes for the best
safety essays and lessons if sufficient !
interest was indicated. If the date of !
October to IA is definitely fixed for !
the observance of "Seven Days Of
or National Safety Week." |
it is expected that those in charge of ,
local campaigns win arrange their |
dates to conform, and their activities
to include the salient features of the |
national government.
1t is believed the demand for the :
safety essay contest and lesson contest
is largely the result of similar cam
paign conducted by the board last
year, in which more than four hun
dred thousand pupils and teaches
submitted manuscripts. One of the
activities suggested for the observance
Of Seven Days for Safety" is the set
ting aside for one day for National

XKIHEREVER you look, you will

built into the Studebaker Special-Six
and this quality of construction is just
as exacting down under the surface as
it is where you can see every detail.
The skillful workmanship and the

Two important elements that make
the Special-Six notable for fine perform

HARDING ENCAMPS
 AT GETTYSBURG
Historic Charge of Pickett's Men Is Reproduced by
 Marines
Rr A..nointed Prra.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 1.-President Harding is encamped tonight with 500 marines on the historic Gettys- burg battlefield. Accompanied by Mrs Harding and few friends. he came by automobile today from Washington. arriving at the marine corps camp in time to witness re- production of Piokett's famous charge.
 The President and Mrs. Harding plan to leave tomorrow by auto mobile for ksrion, O.. where . home coming celebration will be held.
 Shortly after arriving at Camp Harding the Presidential party went to Cemetery Ridge to watch the ma neuvers staged by the Fifth and Sixth marines. which helped bring fame to the second division over seas. Carefully rehearsed the re- enactment of the Confederate charge was carried out with realistic ef- feet.
 No effort was made by tho ma- rines to represent the defense of the union forces during ths three day battle which was fought on the spot 59 years ago. The defence thoreti- cal and the maneuvers were carried on entirely by troops representing Pickett's men.
 The campaign hats of the tanned marines were creased down the middle instead of piqued, to resemble the battered headgear of Confeder- ate soldiers. None of the men wore legGings and many were dressed in fatigue uniform. others appearing in the sham battle without their olive drab shirts
 Move Forward
 After a 15-minute cannonade by the Tenth artillery, the marinnes in mass formation as Pickett's advance, moved slowly forward. Adding to the realism of the spectacle men fell In their tracks as,, they advanced while their comrades moved on toward what was once the union line. On reaching the high water mark" the troops retreated. and the maneuvers were over.
 Among those who witnessed the spectacle with the President were General Pershing and Major General LeJeune, commandant of the marine corps.
 The President and Mrs. Harding are quartered at the camp at a tenn porary White House of canvas and wood The structure Is equipped with elaborately fitted sleeping rooms. baths. electric lights and even has a front porch.
 The s5-miie trip from Washing ton was made in three and halt hours, part of 1t in driving rain As the Presidential party approached tho Pennsylvania state line, cars in tho front of tho procession stopped to permit General LeJeune and Gov ernor Sproui to welcome the Presi- dent to the state.

LOCAL POST NO. 1 ID
 START CAMP PAIGN FOR NEW MEMBERS
Blue and Gold Armies to Take Field in Driye-GoaI Set
 at Three Thousand  Members

Under the direction of Col. Walter E. Bare, Birmingham post No. l of the American Legion Is putting on . membership drive that has for it's purpose the enrolment of every ex- service man-and ex-service woman in Jefferson county.
 The present membership is not over a thousand yet it is said there are over 5000 ex-service men in the county. Four thousand men are con ssequently to be "captured' during the coming week by the two armies, the Blue and the Gray, or rather, the Blue and the Gold. who have been lined in up In battle formation, and are just waiting the word to go over the top after their buddies un- attached.
 There are great doings these days around the G. H. o." said Sam Bow man, which Is Greenwood's cafe, where generals and colonels and cap tains and plain buck privates are all working together to dope. out the swiftest, surest way to write up in the legion every ex-service man that is not already enrolled.
 Many Incentives
 "All sorts of incentives are offer ed for writing them up on big scale. Legion folbs, gold-faced caps for legion formations, and host Of other desirable prizes are spread in tempting array before the members of the attacking armies.
 Add to this the generalship Of Tom Estes. and Jim Jackson. and Field Marshal McEwen and Division Adjustant = Jim Simpson, and what chance could the unorganized aenemy' have against bunch like that out in no mans land of Twen- tieth street and Third avenue.
 There is nothing for them but un- conditional surrender and may be they will not get off with that unless they are quick about 1t, for positive orders have gone out from Com -mander Bare's office that the entire territory must be cleared of every ex-serWice man that Is not sporting legion button within the next seven days. No wonder the opposing armies arc already straining at the lash, 20 to speap."
 After Them All
 Three thousand more members, snorted Arthur Greenwood yesterday motning. when he was chatting over th8 possible success of the projected drive. Three thousand members, huh. That's like taking candy from sAFchiId. There's may be 6,00o or 1000 kx-service men in Jefferson county; land If we go out after only 5000, 1 why we'll be capturing not more than half of them. That's no sort of war. Let's capture every one of them-thats what I say"
 Must Complete Job
 And so it went all down the line. Every man was on his toes. There has not been more enthusiasm since the war days. Every Legionaire knows that Colonel Bare will not be content with a half-dope job. If he says 5000 new members, he meant just that number-no less.
 It is likely before the week Is up ! the barrage will be lifted, and orders will be issued to double the number originally aimed at. How eyer. there is a general feeling that { this coming week will be a red letter time in the history of post No / l. There promises to be little armis- , tice. if any until every man that is elgon for membership In the legion has had a chance to sign on the dotted line.
