generation more alert and careful than
the generation now piling up the acci-
dent mortality statistics.
A text book on accident prevention has
been compiled, it is stated, along unusual
lines. English classes, drawing classes,
even arithmetic classes are to use GER
tain methods calling attention to the
increasing accidents and preventable
deaths from carelessness. 1t is stated
that in schools where the first expert
ments. were made, accidents decreased
markedly among the pupils.
That greater stress on this problem
is necessary is indicated by the accident
figures compiled by the railroads, by the
Material Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, by insurance companies and
various other sources. Having become
nation of speeders, we are paying
the penalty in human lives. Never be-
fore in history, has any country any
where even remotely approached the
casualties that we are rolling up chiefly
through rapid transit and industrial ma
chirery. The motor Car of course, takes
very large toll due to the fact that
we have such vast number OF motor
vehicles and operate them under such
wide variety of conditions. One per-
son is killed each hour in motor car
accident which, although seemingly a
large toll, is in reality not as large as
the total number of vehicles might indi-
cate But even so, it is too large if it
can be cut down and it is believed the
campaign outlined will accomplish that
result.
Last year fourteen thousand people
were killed in transportation accidents in
the United States many OF them prevent
sble'deaths. That the use of fast moving
transportation vehicles will continue and
increase rather than decrease is certain.
We are not going back to slower vehicles
because the motor car and the fast
freight have come to stay. They fill a
need. Likewise we are taking to the
air in larger numbers than ever and
while the airplane is not yet adapted to
general use as is the motor car, yet it
will increase at rapid rate in popular
favor as air routes are established.
The only method so far devised for
cutting down the death rate due to fast
travelling is to educate each generation
in the necessity of eternal vigilance. The
prevention of accidents is not something
that can be left to the judgment OF the
individual concerned in an emergency.
1t requires almost unconscious action.
1t must be second nature-an instinct
instilled by constant mental practice. To
that end it is hoped that course can
be devised which will reach every child
in America during the entire period OF
school attendance II each child can be
trained to use the utmost care both in
travelling and in industrial employment,
it is believed that the heavy toll due to
accidents can be reduced or at least held
stationary.

A Minstrel ShrinerS Memory

OLD-TlME blackface minstrelsy,
now seldom seen upon the stage, ex-
cept in brief episodes in vaudeville, was
at one time very popular form of en-
tertainment. And from the ranks of
these minstrels many arose to the
heights of fame in the theater.
The list OF their names is rich in
memories to the old-timer. 1t includes
among host of others John l.. Carn-
cross. a famous tenor: Billy Emerson,
Washington boy, who used to sell The
Star at 9th street and Pennsylvania
avenue before the blackface ranks
won him: Lew Benedict and Billy Bar
low, famous endmen: George Wilson,
one of the great comedians, who fur
niShed the girls with a certain rule to
distinguish canaries that sing from those
that do not; Billy Kersand. with his won
derful mouth; Eddie Leonard. the soft
shoe dancer, whose peculiar and orlG1-
nal drawl, both in speech and song,
always scored a hit; Hughey Dougherty,
Dan Haley, one of the best tambourine
endmen that ever lived: John GosS. who
can fairly make the bones tremble:
Booth Plat one of the greatest of
basSes, the famous Mcintyre and Heath,
and Lew DockStader of our own day,
whose original and intellectual laugh
makers will keep his memory green
century after he enters upon the long,
long trail.
But there is one of these famous old
minstrels whose art has stamped itself
upon the profession and even to this
day whose famous waltz clog is utilized
as a basis for dancing of the soft shoe
type and even eccentrics. He will
never be forgotten by his comrades or
by any who ever saw him and his like
wise famous partner. Billy West
