The letters that receive show
how great a service II is that we can
give. Women who have had TO lock
up their babies at home in order TO
bring older children to school write
to thank the coppets for relieving
them of this burden. Other women
who have been bringing their own
children offered their services to help
other peoples boys and girls. Eight
women who regularly take their fam

We are boosting the owl not for his nocturnal

abounded in nocturnal birds. we want the owl for

his credentials so that there may be one for each

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. IS, 1922.
To the Editor,
The Arizona Republican.
Dear Sir:
Together with many other dog low
ers, have been filled with regret at
the recent publication in the papers
OF the threats Of our jealous county
officials against the dogs OF the
county, and their decree that all dogs
shall be muzzled when at large. Sup
posing that the county officials have
provided Tor large shipment of as
sorted muzzles In advance so that the
regulation Is possible OF observation,
there would be many objections TO
II, the smallest OF which is the ex-
pense on the part of the owners and
the greatest of which is the infliction
OF misery upon very large number
OF animals who in the course of a
year undoubtedly do infinitely less
harm than their owners.
III is quite possible that there are
within the county at this time, and
at many other times, 40 people TAX
ing Pasteur treatment, because they
have been bitten by dogs which in
most instances they have provoked.
1t is even more probable that not one
of these people is being treated for
rabies, but instead they are being
treated for their fear of il, and are
having themselves inoculated with
some diseased secretion to relieve
them Of the dread of a disease which
they have not the slightest danger
OF experiencing.
A careful census of the valley will
probably disclose an equal number Of
people who have been kicked by
mules, but so far we have not had
regulation hobbling the hind feet Of
these mules during their recreation
hours. A further investigation will
doubtless disclose a still larger num-
ber of people who have been
scratched by cats, and the evil results
of these wounds will probably total
more during the year than any trou-
bile from dog bites, but so far we have
not had a regulation demanding that
all county cats should wear mittens.
Let us hope we will not have. De-
spite the 40 Pasteurized citizens, the
body of the public remains calm and
unafraid and has voiced no demand
for such drastic measures. 1t will be
we'll il our public servants reflect
some of the same calmness and dis
play it in their promulgations
Very truly yours,

THE TRAFFIC COPPET

whether she is TO serve every day
or only on one or two OF the five
school days.
II 1t happens that the coppet can
not be at her post, she is expected
to supply a substitute. remembering
that the requirements for coppet
are willingness to stock to business
and a love for children. Mrs. Logan
had one experience with visiting
among a group of workers who
should have been watching traffic,
even though things had Stacked up
for a few minutes. She explained TO
them plainly that during the half
hour on duty coppet must be alert
every instant. Her presence means
that the children depend on her In
stead of looking out for themselves.
and she must take care OF them.
There has been no conversation be-
tween traffic squads on duty since.
No Fuss or Feathers
The protection Of school children
on the street is being developed along
the simplest possible lines. The cop
pet needs no special uniform. A white
band above each elbow is the only
insignia she wears. The duties can
be mastered in a half-hour period,
Mrs. Logan finds. The coppet sim
ply helps the children across the
street between two corners and holds
UP traffic when necessary to make
the street safe for children.
At present the work is being done
mostly at corners nearest the schools.
These are the crossings used by the
greatest number of children. AS the
.~R~~
borhood increases, however the serv-
ice is being extended TO dangerous
crossings farther from the school
buildings
At every center, Mrs. Logan places
four women. There must be one. she
says. for each corner. so that traffic
in every direction may be efficiently
watched, and so that the children
may be assisted across the four
cross walks. The traffic department
has agreed to back up the coppetS in
the event OF their reporting cases
of speeding or refusal to obey sig

WASHINGTON. ID. C.-The coppet
is a new and popular institution in
this city. She is not to be confused
with the woman policeman who goes
around in pursuit of the wayward
girl. The coppet is children's traf-
fic officer She gives her services
to make dangerous street crossings
safe, and all the pay she draws is In
smiles from the children. Washing
ton has 100 coppers, and Mrs. Ellis
Logan, who is in charge Of the
force says that she can use 500.
The idea came 10 Washington
when New York mothers were tax
ing their children to school during
the milk strike emergency. Mothers
went TO all sorts Of trouble and made
every effort to see that their children
got to school safely.
Interest was aroused in the ha-
yards to which children are exposed
on the streets, and the question was
raised: Why shouldn't a city organ
i2e the women who could give half
an hour a day Just half an hour a
week to get the children safely
across where no traffic officers are
stationed. Mrs. Logan thought
Washington could. The city traffic
department liked the idea and agreed
to back up the corps and to give in
structions.
The plan was first tried out at
the Wilson Normal school, where the
pupils are children in the first four
grades and in the kindergarten.
These youngsters. practically all un-
der 10 years. have had dangerous
routes to travel. A car line runs on
one side OF the school and two other
Al ~rfff1 fhfq and
three blocks away.
Mrs. Logan regarded the street car
crossing by this school as good
place to demonstrate the work of the
coppet. She and three other volun
teers were broken in by the head OF
the city traffic department one
morning at $50, and for half an hour
they were kept busy plotting troops
Of children between the four side
walks Of the crossing.
Children Like the Idea
The children took with enthusiasm
to the mamma policeman" as they
at once nicknamed the volunteer
traffic officers. They also responded
to the efforts of the women TO teach
them how TO cross the streets. Dan
gers Of diagonal crossing and of neg
lecting to watch for automobiles were
explained so that the children would
be more careful at corners unpro-
tected by traffic guardians.
From that beginning the project
spread to Is school centers in one
week. and it is being extended almost
as rapidly now. Even in the sub
urbs women volunteered to patrol
the railroad crossings near school
buildings One notably dangerous
suburban crossing not far from a
school is now being regularly guard
ed at school time.
The corps of coppets is being or
gani2ed Systematically. Each woman
who volunteers is listed for the time
she can give, whether at $3.50, IL OF

In many communities busses are pro-

In view Of the many accidents that arc
