4SAFETY FIRST" |S MOTTO OF CH|CAGO
 SCHOOL OFFICIALS
Educators Take. Steps To h. still PreCaution In Public
 School Curriculum

CHICAGO, August S1.-(By As sociated Press.)-Systematic class room work in safety education for every child in the pubic schools is Chicagos plan in the nation wide campaign to check the mounting toll of accidental death and injury,
 A plan for schooling in accident prevention, safety methods, and first aid activities drawn by committee appointed by Superintendent of Schools Peter A. Mortenson, will be put into practice in the elementary schools at the opening of the fall term.
 Safety education through slogans and jingles, class room games, themes. dramatization and debates is part of the plan. In addition, an effort will be made to relate accident statistics with the students work in arithmetic, grammar and geography.
 Experience In several cities has shown" Mir. Mortenson said that safety education in the schools has been the most effective agency in re- ducing the number of accidents to children"
 Extensive Program,
 The program approved for Chica- go, and believed to be more extensive than any in use elsewhere, was ar ranged by principals in schools here, in cooperation with more than 50 agencies interested in the aims of tn Q undertaking.
 Tt does not contemplate the addi- tion of a school subject" Mir Nor tenson explained "but rather the ln- plication in several subjects of con- cern for the safety of children" Separate treatment of various classes of accidents in successive months is provided. September, De- tober and November are given respec- lively to street dangers fires and weapons; the next three montlG to burns and scalds, poisons and as- phyxiation, and electricity; and March to June, inclusive, to falls. railway accideonts, carelessness in play, and drowning. The worl: under each monthly classification will be graded to meet the require- ments of the various ages between the first and eighth grades.
 "From sense training in the Kinder garten to elaborate projects for study In the upper grades there Is oppor- unity, without serious detriment to other worthy subjects, to develop In the child attitudes and habits of thought and action that shall serve in the earlier stages to protect him from harm, and i'm the later stages, help him to protect others from harm,'' said MT. Mortenson.

 Dear Sir: The second annual Manufacturers and Housewives ex- hibit now being a thing of the past we want to say how happy we were to have had you with us and we hope you were pleased. We did everything in our power to make 1t a success and worth your while.
 By a very conservative estimate over 30.0o0 people attended the ex- hibit. We were unable to induce all these to register, but we have pre- served the registration cards of those who did so. and have alphabetically filed them. according to our agree ment. and they are subject to your wishes, should you care to use them. We shall keep them at our headquar- ters. mezzanine floor. Hillman ho- tel, until July 1. 1923. If by that them. they will be destroyed.
 We shall appreciate 1t if you will offer any criticism of the conduct of the exhibit. and any suggestions for improvement. As the League of Women Voters expects to make 1t an annual affair, we are eager to i'm prove 1t each year. We shall be grateful for line or two expressing : your views.
 Already we are laying our plans for a bigger and better exhibit early in 1924, and we shall be delighted to have you again with us.
 Yours for Birmingham.

 MARSHALL

Neither diffidence nor delay is in- terfering with the returns on our Questionable for Wives. And the bureau of social hygiene itself could not wish for greater frankness! We hope that husbands, as well as wives are reading the instructive answers to our ten intimate queries on the habits and customs of that domestic pet, the married man. When we think the subject-or the wives-are ex- hausted, we shall print Question naire for Girls" Meanwhile, here is the original Wives Questionable, with two sets of answers to shame the cynic. The first is supplied by "W. B. C."
 Q. No. 1. Why did you ever marry your husband? Were you crazy or couldn't you get any other job?
 A. No. 1. I looked upon it as a job Some one had to take care of him.
 c. No. 2. How have you succeeded in training him to be on time for meals? Or haven't you?
 A. No. 2. He trained me to go to hotels and restaurants. so that we might dine or sup any old time."
 o. No. 8. How often since the honeymoon has he said T love you? Or hasn't he?
 A. No 3. Every time he has had three highballs.
 e. No. {. Why does every married man think the floor-any floor-is 3 place on which to throw things-any things? [
 A. No. 1. In our case. most likely because there's no other place. My things are usually on every available chair or table. you wear-except when he gets the bill for 1t? .t Y
 A. No. D. Yes; hats, stockings, and shoes particularly. He says those are the things other men look at. He thinks my figure rather nice in most any gown.

CLOSE UP VIEW OF AN OFFICE FLIR l
By RUTH LEIGH

In large office recently I walked toward the door with the vice presi- dent of the company. Our eyes were attracted toward little group-three men around a girl sitting at type writer desk.
 I'm going to fire that girl" the vice president announced. Shes a darn good worker-quick stenogra- pher and careful typist-but she's toe much of a flirt for this office."
 The girl wasn't objectionable in many senses, yet, according to this official. she upset the discipline of the office. "She thinks she's at a dance or a party" he told me. This lows In the office. They're here to work. and so Is she"
 recognized the type-the office fl.rt. There's the girl who uses her office, her business hours. as a place to make dates"-the more the mer- rier.
 well, why not?" one girl asked me recently. Business Is the only place many of us have to meet men We don't force 'em to bother with us"
 No, you don't force them, Miss Of- flee Flirt. but you encourage them And in doing that. while you may not realize the harm you are doing you not only jeopardize your own job but you make others run the risk of losing theirs. Meet people. if you want. through your business connec- tions, but don't make the mistake that so many girls do of hurting their own chances and those of the young men by too much flirting and "kidding" in the office. Incidentally a young man will think much more of tho girl who can say frankly; Lets talk about that outside" or '1 guess we can walt to discuss that than the girl who Is ready to en- courage him. You don't have to be . prude or a "prune" in any sense of the word. You just need a sense of fitness of time and place. And. inci- dentally, the girl who is too eager is far less attractive than the girl who
 This so-called "joshing' and kid ding" that goes on in offices between young men and young women is :, serious proposition.
 But it's the fellows who usually start things" objected one girl. We don't. They come right up and start to kid us."
 Perhaps they do. But it takes two to make a so-called "joshing party and while I do believe that the girls themselves are not always responsi- ble for starting this time wasting business, they are often responsible for encouraging and continuing It.
 Mako your work pleasant. have a good time, enjoy life; but don't be one of the typical office flirts. If you don't care for your own sake, consider the other person whose chances of success you are hurting.

which is so noticeable to parents moving here from other cities. Also the pupils will be better grounded in grammar school work before en- tering high school.
 The cost of carrying on the work of the 5S schools and $50 teachers Is s1,3S7,0 ,000 per year, making the cost per capita s35. The increase annually is 1,500 pupils and if a teacher is provided for every 50 pupils, will require 30 aditional teachers. The minimum salary of a teacher is S1.O0O.
 This gives an idea of what 1t costs to provide for the increase and the additional grade which is so essen tial.
 An item of interest Is that our high school enrolment has increased 172 per cent in 13 years.
 When Greater Birmingham came into existence in 1909. the board of education found many of the schools unsafe and others with enormous debts. With the small funds avail able for educational purposes little relief was possible until the mill tax of 1919. Now if the plans of the board are approved by the people they hope to make Birmingham school system a credit to the city.
 He paid a high tribute to the board of education and said that in every decision rendered the good of the pu- pill was paramount.
 He also expressed the hope that the citizens of Birmingham would provide the means so that the board of education could buy property needed for future schools so that they would not be forced to buy im- proved property. AS an instance, ne cited the property upon which the new high school stands. This was cid board of education $155.00o. This ne hopes may be avoided in the future c if the citizens of Birmingham will respond to the needs of the schools.
 MRS. sOLoN JACOBS RETURNS
 And she comes back to us with greater honor. as second vice presi- dent of the National League oi Women Voters.
 We were all eager for.her message l from the great national convention happy to be the smallest link in this great chain of awakened womanhood. The great question of the conven- tion was How Can Women Make the Best Contribution to Peace" There are 27,000.000 women in the united States and they have vast potential power. This question was discussed from various angles by Miss Florence Allen. who was recently elected to the supreme court of Ohio; Sir Robert Cecil and Secretary Hoover.
 Tt Is to be hoped" said Mrs. Jacobs, that pressure will pc brought to bear making the "orto war really what it was declared eo be, a war to end war.
 We believe most felt we were there in the hustle and hustle or the great convention. when Mrs. Jacoos had us in this session and the meet ing and to luncheon. Time was up, but 1t rained so hard no one coulo leave the school and 1t was so re- noseful and elegant in the spacious library and every one wanted more of the convention so Mrs. Jacobs was stressed to continue. We are indeed fortunate to get the news of the con
