BLAME IGNORANCE

Educators Lacking.
The report, to be presented at ses-

highway safety, which starts at the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
states week from tomorrow, takes
cognizance of the dearth of training
of educators along safety lines, yet

results. 1t also deals at length with
such questions as the selection and
training of traffic control officers.

and universities.
That adequate Fairgrounds should
be provided, particularly a play
ground available for every school.
and that special training in safety
measures be provided for playground
supervisors.

The burglary was discovered early
in the week and reported to Marshal

ney Edwin A. Dixon, he kept the af-
fair secret until early today when the
arrests were made. Levy said he be-
lieved the place was looted either

Entrance to the warehouse was
gained apparently by breaking in a

leading to inner compartments, were

the warehouse, one of several in
Chicago, was burglar proof and so
had moved all confiscated liquor
stores in the Chicago area from
other storage places to this one

RENT ON SELF DESTRUCTION Precautions Of Others Of Little Avail
 In Saving Reckless Motorists

Campaigns, drives, posters and pub licity notwithstanding, the American motorist is apparently bent on his own destruction at grade crossings. In the first two days of a recent week six au- tomobiles ran into the sides of trains on one western road. The collisions ac- cured at widely separated points but in broad daylight, between the hours of s a. m. and noon. In one case a motorist ran into the side of the twentieth car in train. In evey instance the cross ings were protected by a watchman and signals.
 This astonishing disregard for per- sonal safety would be amusing if it were not so appalling. It is discourag- ing, too, to those who have devoted their efforts to try to reduce the number of such accidents.
 Probably everything that could be done to eliminate this sort of careless ness has been done, but instances simi- lar to the latest one-wihch is a record breaker so far as we know-continue to recur. Many motorists are undoubtedly more careful today than they were pre- viously, thanks to the efforts of the American Railway association and other bodies interested in safety. But few, of which the six drivers men, tioned above are typical, will not learn except through experience Perhaps the wrecking of their cars will convert them. Perhaps law suits for damgaes, form of retaliation now gaining in popularity among the railroads, will be necessary. We recommend such defen- sive measures heartily.-Railway Age.

was popularly supposed to be moro artistic stage director than MT. Frank Reicher. Furthermore, the Hopkins- Barrymore production enjoyed the strategic advantage of opening first and gathering the cream of patronage. Nevertheless, it was an; instant and ab- solute failure; whereas Miss Cowl, a month later, when the play itself had apparently been voted down by the Broadway public, scored an immediate and continuing success. The reason is evident enough. The Barrymore-Hop- kips production was not "good show" whereas Miss Cowls production em- phatieally was; but the mystery re- mains, how did the public find out the difference so quickly and so unerringly? The reviewers were of little help, for most of them did their best to be kind to Miss Barrymore and some of them were still suffering under the delusion that Arthur Hopkins knew something about staging Shakespeare; but the in- stinctive verdict of the public was as sound as if it had been based on critical experience.-Clayton Hamilton in the Worlds Work.

CADILLAC WINS.
 DEWAR TROPHY
Only American Car To Win Coveted
 ,> Honor !.

The Dewar trophy, awarded each year by the Royal Automobile club of England for the most significant motor car development of the year, was won in 1908 by Cadillac cars, as the first to develop a high degree of standard ization. That is, they were cars in which, because of accurate machining, all parts are exact duplicates of other parts of the same kind, and can be used interchangeably without fitting. In 1913 the Cadillac car again won the Dewar trophy for best general perform ance.
 The Cadillac car is the only American car which has ever won the Dewar trophy, and the only car in the world to win it twice.
 The Cadillac organization was tbe first to introduce V-tye eight-cylirder engines in the United States. Others of it's pioneering achievements have been that it was first to discard magneto

KNOWS A GOOD SHOW

The improvement of the theater has been most marked upon the scenic side but the acting also has improved, and the stage direction is now incomparably better. The great stars of the 1S9Os were nearly always surrounded by in- different supporting companies; and even the famous old stock companies were guilty of many instances of un- fortunate miscasting.
 Though the taste of the Broadway public is uncritical in that it neglects to distinguish between higher and a lower type of entertainment, it is able with instinctive keenness and almost unerring accuracy to distinguish be- tween a better and a worse example of the same type. It knows that Charlot's Revue is better than the Winter Gar den, without knowing why; and it knew at once that Jane Cowls performance of Juliet was better than Ethel Barry more's.
 The verdict in this latter instance was peculiarly interesting. The public did not know the play, for Romeo and Juliet" had not been presented on Broad- way for more than dozen. years. In prestige, the antecedent chances favored the Hopkins Barrymore production. Miss Barrymore was a more popular actress than Miss Cowl, Mir. Robert Edmond Jones was a more noted scenic artist than MT. Rollo Peters, and Mir. Arthur Hopkins, for some mysterious reason,

Owens while new to this particular position and title is not new either to the Nash line or to Mccormack organization, since he was for many years connected with the Martin-Nash company in Atlanta and was for time with the Mccormack company. In both these situations he won recognition for his ability and courtesy.
 We believe that we have secured an ideal man for the position in Mir.

SPENT 4 YEARS
 .NPENI'TENTIARY
But Former Terror May Now Become An
 Evangelist

A few days ago the doors of the East ern penitentiary swung open for the passage of Abe Buzzard, who has spent 42 of his 72 years behind prison bars. There's hardly a middled aged person in Pennsylvania that cannot tell some story of the notorious robber, learned as child says the New York World.
 Immediately following the Ciyal war, in that wild and wooded add semi mountainous area between Berks and Lancaster counties. known as the Welsh Mountains, lived q family of the name of Buzzard There was seven children. The father had gone to war and had been killed. In a short time the mother remarried, leaving the chil- dren to take care of themselves.
 Several of them, including Ike, who was two years younger than Abe, clung together. They lived in the woods. Sometimes they were invited into neighbours house, but Oftener they slept in barns, under sheds or under trees.
 Abe was small for his age and was much in demand by several bands of thieves living in those parts to crawl into windows and open doors from the inside. Abe, of course, thought these robbers were his friends and accepted tlleir tasks with pleasure. As he grew older, and ever possessing venture some spirit, he thought he would pull off job on his own account.
 He spotted country store where the owner, after the free-and-easy manner of the rustic region, left his place of business open and unlocked while he went to dinner. Abe gathered up most of the money about the place-$15 or $16-and made ready to depart, but there in the doorway stood the mer- chant.
 The lad-then about 15-leaped through window and rushed down the street. Half a dozen men caught him. and Abe was sent to the Lancaster jail for IS months.
 From then on his life consisted of one criminal episode fater another, fol- lowed by jail or prison, until how he has set up his 42-year record. His crimes have consisted of chicken thiev- cry, rural store robbery, horse steal ing, chiefly, with robbing a smoke house not beneath him. He became an escape artist as welcome, with three of his brothers, he was able of the roof. Ike, ohm and Martin Buzzard had he was the most capable member of the family at getting behind bars.

in Ephrata, Pa., where the latter had married, when an incident occurred which might be used to illustrate the advantage of bearing a perfect and un- sullied name. Some one broke into a blacksmith shop and stole tools, after ward using them to break into store at Reading. Abe and Ike were arrested, and while innocent, as was afterward proved by the deathbed confessions of the real culprits, were sent to the Reading jail. Ike got ten years and Abe thirteen years.
 Others Taken Along
 In 1901 Abe was released from pri- son protesting that his life of robbery lay behind him and that he was going to devote the rest of his life to religion. Two years later, however, he was back in prison. This time he got ten years for stealing chickens and carry ing concealed weapons. March IT, 1913, he was released. Before the year was over he was back again for a short term. In 1914 he was imprisoned for the term which just expired a few days ago.
 Abe says he is through with hen roosts and prisons for the remainder of his days. Furthermore, he may be- come an evangelist or do work among the convicts; he is uncertain of his future.

CAN'T WORK UP" ANY MORE

JAN II W Ohh UT AIN NUKE
 Starting at the bottom and working up used to mean moving through one de- partment after another, so that when a man came to be head of the business he had a through understanding of its every phase.
 This is no longer possible. Organiza- tions have become too large and too highly articulated. The problems are too complex and too diverse.
 A young man who set out to learn in practice every phase of large business (buying, designing, manufacturing, traffic, finance, credit, selling, adver- tising) is likely to have one of these experiences:
 1. He will make a failure at one point or another, and be discharged or resign in Encouragement.
 ?. He will make so striking a success in one department that he will become a fixture there, will be hired away, or will go out to start in business for him. self as specialist.
 3. He will gallop through to a gen. eral executive position with no more than a superficial grasp of the real work of the departments, because a life time is not long enough to let him mas ter all of them.
 Therefore, as our business units have grown larger, we have found fewer and fewer men competent to manage them, while at the same time the direction of specialized work becomes better.-Rich- ard J. Walsh in the Century Magazine.
