TRAFFIC COOPERATION

Absolutely the best way to ac- complish results is always to have those who make the laws and those who enforce them give their combined effort to formulating wisely the laws to be enforced, and in enforcing them wisely after they have been passed. Just as long as suspicion continues that the makers of the rules and the enforcers of them, are at odds with those whom the law will affect there will be unwise laws and unwise, un- satisfactory enforcement.
 It is bit pitiful to see people suspected always of having some ul- terior motive in their attempts to have matters run smoothly. Such suspicion is not always voiced. but it is present Frequently. A traffic policeman, for instance has absolutely no desire to make driving a car as difficult as pos siblc, but often one hears an impatient expression from a driver who has to halt and make a turn in the road merely because the traffic officer has 10 order him to do so because that is the rule On the other hand a driver Of car does not want to dis obey the traffic rules, and yet the officers sometimes suspect him un- justly of having violated some rule ''iust to see if he can get away with it."
 So with those who try to plan traf- fic improvement. They may favor or disapproye of "one.way" traffic. Quite often they are honest in their advo- cacy or disappro,al. Selfish motives do creep in. Of course. for we are all human, But generally speaking those who have the making and enforcing of traffic rules are without prejudice.
 Chief Hart has been talking with the merchants about the traffic prob- lcms. Certainly Chief Hart is not actuatcd by any desire to do anything except the thing that will benefit most Of the people Of the citS with due re- gard to the positions occupied by the merchants. The merchants should realize that making travelling through the streets easier for all people. will benefit all merchants. It is believed they do realize this fact and look at the matter in a broad-mindcd way. The point to be emphasized is that this sort Of cooperation in discussing traffic matters is admirable and to such discussions there should be brought an attitude Of mind that grants to the chief the desire to make things easy for the greatest number of people, and to the merchant a wish to think not only of himself but of the 1 other fellow sas well. The merchants are in a position 10 make valuable ! suggestions. and the chief is Of a disposition calculated to make him l give their suggestions proper value.
 Any everyone concerned should re- member the other chap.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL BOARD

Cynical people will say. upon read ing of the suggestion that the school board be made independent Of the common council, How do you get that way? Our school board is about as Independent as it can be, right now" And Of course # is, in way The state considers the children of the state it's wards. and the state is very jealous of the care that is taken CT them along educational lines. The board is able to<N inc salaries paid. and 10 do about anything else it wants. according 10 the belief Of many of the members Of the common conn- cll.
 But it erfeves those who want 10 make good record for economical management of the city affairs. that the money spent by the school board. being about half the total yearly ex- penditure Of tho city, goes now to make up the total and IS added to the other city expenditures. thus a.lcctiug fhe tax rate. Tn other words those working in city han feel that nc mai ter how economically they manage the affairs of the city. tho inclusion Of the school boards needs makes fl Im- possible to show a good record if the school board were to be extravagant The administration does not want to be blamed for. nor does it seek the credit for. the great or small sums spent by the school board.

MALE OF SPECIES
 WORRY ID COURTS
Boys on Probation Exceed Girls
 by Ten to One

Although 1Si boys were brought into juvenile court during the year of 1928 and an even 100 were on proba- ton during that period. only 16 re- mained on probation at the end of the year according to an annual re- port submitted to Judge E. w. Alling this morning by Probation Officer Ed- ward C. Connolly.
 Mir. Connolly shows that the num- Der of boys remaining on probation January i, 192s, was 20 less than for the corresponding date of year ago. At the end of 1922 there were 36 boys on probation.
 That there are more boys getting into mischief than girls, with an av- craze of about 10 to 1, is shown by the same report which says only one girl was carried over from 1922, nine more were added during the year and seven were discharged. leaving three on probation at the beginning of 1924.
 Mir. Connolly's report is as follows: "Hon. Benjamin W. Alling. Judge,

RADIO. THE LIFE SAVER

or course wc arc all familiar with
 the fact that radio facilities are con-
 stantly proving invaluable in nayiga-
 ton of the air and water. One Of the
 main objections voiced by some people
 to the Artic expedition of the shenan-
 doah is the fact that such service
 might not be at the disposal of the
 crew. IL may be seen readily how,
 travelling at night a great ship of the air is kept straight to it's path by tho aid of the radio. as well as through it's other paraphernalia adapted for this purpose.
 But the latest suggestion, namely that through the radio more safety may be brought miners, working deep underground, seems pregnant of great human possibilities The number of times one has had cause to feel sym pathy for these workers in their help less position when, through the caving in of a portion of mine, they are buried far out of reach of human help inspires enthusiasm in the thought that through the radio they may be able to make such work less danger ous. Quite probably few are familiar with the great number of accidents or this nature that happen every year. The greater ones are those which stir the whole country. and such eatas- tropics do stir the people. But the fact that it was shown recently that the radio was effective at some dis tance under water, in a tunnel, where the men were separated from the air by concrete, water and earth, brought the first suggestion Of this new pos sibility.
 Now comes the authoritative state ment that experiments in Scranton, Pa. have shown that if was possible to operate successfully a radio receiv- ing set 1 900 feet underground. If this is possible, certainly science will make it possible to carry that distance far ther and in time. no matter how far the csrth's surface men work. they will be able to get into communi- s cation at once with those who should bc warned Of danecr down there un- derneath the earth's surface.
 There can be little doubt but that science. and those interested in this branch of fl only namely the radio, will carry on their czps riments 10 de- . ternine just what practical use may De made Of it. The United Mine Work ITS of America are taking 1t up. with he idea. of course of protecting the ! ives Of members of that Orga nization. i This is one branch Of radio activity hat should be pushed forward and 1 he promised benefits brought to mine Forkers at once.
 In carrying On the experiments a 4 .ertain class Of investigators will be interested. When those experiments ire completed. they will turn to other ields. But that is the time-when hese experiments are done and prsc- icai possibilities presented-that the nstauation Of the radio in all mines hould be demanded. just as safety de- ices are demanded in other lines of ndeaxor. Those who own and oper- te the mines. but who do not work in hem. should bcAmade to give their mpioyes inc benefit of this develop nent of the radio. And here viii come

the hitch. if hitch there is. The radio will certainly have justified itself on this ground aloe nif through it, there come less frequent stories of great mine disasters where hundreds of lives are lost.

length His tentative plans embrace
only the first, second, third, eighth
and ninth radio districts, mostly in
the Northeast and Middle West. But
he says this can be extended to
cover the entire country.
Details of Plan
The larger, or Glass r, stations
could maintain a trunk line emer--
gency system over the country, and
turn over their traffic to the smaller
Glass A stations or to amateurs foc
local distribution. By the use Of
telegraph, instead of telephone, Ed
wards believes a greater number Of
stations, including especially anna
tours, could work together toward
transmission of the emergency SER
ice at all times Of day and night,
The plan Of assigning definite
stations for accommodation Ed
wards points out, is designed to
avoid confusion if more stations
tried to transmit at the same time.
"A chaotic condition would re-
suit if stations were to try and COM
municate with other stations promis.
cuously," he saws.

Old Rags
BY Hal COCHRAN

Let's look within the closet of
most any home at all. Let's ponder
Ger the things that fill up space.
You'll find a line of hangers, in the
summer, spring or fall, that have
hung there in the well-secluded
place.
An ancient dress of mothers that
she wore in ninety-two is an echo of
the days of long ago. A ragged
suit of brothers that's a long-since
faded blue; they're hanging on the
closet rack, just so.
You'd laugh to see the trousers
that poor father used to wear A
freak of clothing makeup, if you
please. Zen so, for no good reason,
you will find them hanging there.
They're faded out and baggy at the
knees.
A dress for graduation, worn by
sister. so they say, is made of fancy
frills and classy lace. She'd never
have the nerve to wear this ancient
gown today and so they leave it
hanging in its place
Old rags That's what Wen call
them for that's what they really
seem. Like ancient treasures laid
upon a shelf. In truth they're Just
incentives for a kind Of memry
dream. I know, I've got a lot of
them myself

Science

The worlds most interesting ex-
periments in education are now be-
ing carried on in Russia and Mexico.
The University Of the Toiling East
at Moscow is being watched with in
terest by scientific educators. Here
are students Of every degree of edu-
cation and Of all Asiatic races. High
~ educated Indians and Chinese,
with degrees from Oxford and
Heidelberg, mingle with wild noun
taineers from the Caucasus, who
can barely read and write. Among
the women students are many who
were brought up as Mohammedans
and who come from villages where
it is death for woman to expose
her face on the street, These have
thrown away their wells.
In Mexico, where three-fOurths OF
the people are illiterate, there has
been organized an army of honorary
teachers, now numbering more than
10000. These amateur teachers, all
under the department of public
education. teach illiterate adults to
read and write.
