BADGER GAME PAIR
GIVEN TEN YEARS
Man and Wife Convicted of
Robbing Walter Reed
Patient.

John Costello, thirty. and mis-
wife. Sylvia Costello. twenty-four,
were sentenced to ten years in
prison yesterday by Justice Stat
ford in Criminal Court on a charge
of robbery which grew out Of the
attempt to work the badger game"
on Lewis Koss. a soldier patient at
Walter Reed Hospital.
The woman solicited the soldier
in Franklin Park and took him to
her apartment on March II. The
husband appeared and demanded
hush money. The soldier had
only SO left and refused to give that
up. Costello attacked him and
took it from him. The arrest and
conviction followed.

tile, but sound In principle, and he
does not experiment with express
sionism, so-called.
Some of his pictures are lecora-
tive, laid on quite flat, in light
tones. with a definite but always
pleasing pattern, even in portraiture.
A splendid portrait of "Uncle Joe
Cannon" was unfortunately destroy
ed with several others in fire
which burned out Mr.. Comins'
studio last year, only photograph
being retained. "Hoke Smith" was
subject of another fine portrait
by Mr.. Comins this season.
The artist is quick in catching a
brilliant likeness, and not incapable
of flattery, always a pleasing trait
in the portrait painter, as old British
masters SO we'll knew.
Mr.. Comins is still one of our
younger school. His chances are
excellent for phenomenal success.
He is Industrious, and almost al
ways has a new picture to show.
If he returns next season, as he
has promised, to aid in the move
ment to advance art in Washing
ton, something unusual is sure to
happen.

FOR 0sIER AND BRIDE
BOOKSELLERS Granddaughter
and Riding Master to Live
In Swiss Chalet.

LONDON, April 4.-Somewhere

Mathilde Mccormick. eighteen-year-
old granddaughter Of John D.
Rockefeller. are enjoying q brief
honeymoon before returning to
Switzerland, where they win make
their future home.
It was learned tonight that the
secrecy with which the marriage,

the opposition, OF AIRS. Edith Rookie

mick, muIti-millionaire Chicago
manufacturer and father OF
Mathilde, consented to the union,
but ordered his daughter and Major
Oser to keep their movements from

wishes of Mrs. Mccormick.
Harold r. Mccormick and his
wife are divorced. The former Is
now the husband of Gamma Waleka,
beautiful Polish opera singer.
Immediately after the wedding IN
the dingy little registry office in
Lewisham, Mathilde sent q cable
gram to her father in Chicago tell
ing him the news. Mccormick at
once sent a reply congratulating
the happy couple.
Mccormick had given his written
consent for the marriage and Oser
had a COPY of this document in his
pocket when he and Mathilde went
to Lewisham for the ceremony.
He produced it to prevent possible
complications over the brides

It is understood that Major Oser
and his young wife win soon 60

PROVED BY RESULTS.
That safety instruction is pro-
ducing results is proved by the
figures of the police department
regarding accidental deaths to chill
dren. During 1921 5iJnety-seven chill
dren. or an average OF eight per
month, were killed in Washington.
During safety week last fall no chill
dren were killed or serioualy injured
January and February of this year
have passed with only two chill
dren killed each month and dur
ing the latter month no children
Of school age met death as a
result of accident
The schools are endeavoring to
do their part in this large prob
lem of reducing accidents, but
many others show that about
receive their injuries in and
around their homes and not in
the school. The school can only
supplement the teaching which
should begin in the home among
the very. youngest children.
Every parent should lay the same
Importance on teaching their little
ones habits of carefulness as they
now give to instruction in proper
health habits.
Our paramount aim today should
be the conservation of child life.
Seventy-five per cent of the deaths
to these, our future citizens, would
never occur IL they were properly
instructed in the homes and school
and properly supervised in their
play.

familiar with the safety instruction
which is being given in the public.
private and parochial schools Of the
city,. and as a result of which our
children are realizing the need of
more care on the streets and in
their play.
Safety taught in the public
schools of st. Louis and Detroit
during the past two years has re-
duced the death rate among chill
dren about SIS per cent. In these
cities and others where the work
has been conducted in continuous
and systematic manner 1t has been
found that one-half of all that can
he accomplished for the reduction
| of accidents in the community can
be done through the schools. This
is due to the fact that not alone
are the children reached with a
safety message, but through them
the message is carried to the
parents in their homes.
VITALIZES CURRICULUM.
Introduction of safety into the
school work does not mean the
addition of a new subject to the
| now oveFerowded curriculum. 1t
simply means the use of safety
material in many of the present
studies and the application of
safety to the daily work of the
classroom.
Recent Developments in the sci
ence of teaching encourages the use
of material which is OF vital inter-
est to the life of the children, it
| being one OF the aims of the mod
ern school to train the children in
Ksafe and useful citizenship.
The experience of introducing
safety into the public schools of
Washington has been similar TO
that of other cities, and it has been
found that this type of material
is of great value in thus vitalizing
| the curriculum.
The washington Safety Council is
supplying the schol teachers with
safety material in the form of a
contains an analysis of the accidents
which occurred during the proceed
| ing month, laying special emphasis
on the casualties to children and
the lessons taught by each serious
accident From this bulletin the
| teacher can obtain material which is
useful in assigning subjects for
composition or the lessons empha-
| lied may be the subject of drawings
by having the child design safety
posters.
PROBLEMS IN SAFETY.
The accident figures are also used
as basis of arithmetic problems, or
simple reading lessons. In this way
safety is made a part of the daily
life of the child until carefulness
becomes a habit This method pro-
duces better results in the proven
/ ton of accidents than does the
mere setting aside of a period each
week for talk by the teacher on
carefulness.
In some schools the safety m
structions given have resulted in the
| formation of safety committees and
patrols among the children. Safety
committee meetings held in the class
rooms, not alone impress the stu
dents with the need of care, but also
teaches them how to conduct an
| organization and a meeting. Safety
patrols on the streets and around
the school building assist in get,
ting the younger children safely tt
the building and also teaches the
