SCHOOL CHILDREN
MAY GUIDE TRAFFIC
Police Authorities Present
Plan for Pupils to Handle
Movements of Mates.

An official Junior police force in all
probability will be recruited from
Washington's school children this year
in a project patterned after the Chi
cago system, which has demonstrated
the practicability Of youngsters acting
as trafic officers to protect their mates
at dangerous crossings en- route TO
school.
Already the Police Department has
sent an outline of the plan to school
authorities for consideration. and the
only step awaited IS approval of those
in charge of the school system. When
this is forthcoming the police heads
will turn the plan over 10 The schools
for operation
Training by Regulars.
Inspector Brown, in charge Of the
Traffic Bureau stated today that there
would be ample policemen on hand to
give the young traffic officers good
start. The plan, if II works out as
projected, will mean that 4 junior po-
liceman will be picked from each class
from the sixth grade up.
The junior policeman then will be
allowed to pick his own lieutenants
He will have the responsibility for
smooth working Of his volunteer or
ganiZation. He will be allowed 10 Sc
lect routes and school crossings. .
subject only to the approval OF the
principal Of the school which he at
tends.
Insignia to mark the young voiun-
teer traffic directors viii be provided
by the Police Department. Instruc-
ton in the art OF handling vehicular
and pedestrian traffic will be given by
experts.
VIII Relieve Police.
1t is expected to develop this junior
trafic force to the point where il will
virtually relieve police OF all the rrou-
BILE of handling school children a busy
intersections.
The benefits to the schoolboys who
will become members of the police
force in name, if not in reality. were
pointed out by Inspector Henry Pratt,
assistant superintendent of police. who
Is heartily in favor of the plan.
1T Will give the youngsters sense
Of responsibility which 1 feel sure
knowing the American boy as I do
they will measure up to-" Inspector
Pratt said. THE boy will know that
IL anything goes radically wrong he
will be held accountable. The fact
that he may be removed from his
position at the first instance Of negli-
gence OF duty or failure Of his sys-
tenn will exert a powerful influence
for efficiency"
Praise for Plan.
The plan in Chicago has worked
wonders during the last year, it is
said. Inspector Pratt said he heard
from police authorities there that the
boys had taken a heavy load off the
shoulders OF the police and that they
were virtually in complete control Of
traffic which crosses routes used by
school children.
Inspector Pratt. Inspector Brown.
Traffic Director Eldridge and Acting
Superintendent of Police Evans were
in conference this morning regarding
the school child problem. 1t was de-
cided, pending the approval Of the
junior police plan, to have policemen
take care OF the busy intersections
during the hours when school children
would be crossing.

Lemoustier, on the Veseres River. in
the department of Dordorgne. This
discovery, Sir Arthur said, makes all
the biblically recorded events, which
heretofore seemed to mark the very
beginning of history, become the hap

evidence. he said, that this early man
was capable of performing a simple
surgical operation, probably by means
of a stone instrument.
From this discovery" Sir Arthur
continued, I'VE can, say that in remote
times, as today, the dominant type of
mankind spread abroad from cradle
land. carrying their particular methods
of life with them until large area of
the world was covered. The balance
of the evidence found in this Galilea n

General j. r. McCarl, reversing a

The student assistants are college

TOPS call for salaries up to $500.
Last year the Civil Service Commits

bonus.

That is thing we have been ad.

There is no difference of opinion be-
tween city officials and members of

and if Col. Bell petitions Congress
for this wiser method of buying school
land. his action will most certainly be
approved unanimously by the board

cestor." 1t was a mistake, he added,
thai man as an ape, for while the
features certainly were more ape-like
than those of any man living now,
this man had a brain which in point
of size, if not in organization. reached
modern standards at least"
Mr.. Turville-Petre's discovery, Sir
Arthur said, will always rank among
the most important events OF our pre-
history.
Sir William Boyd DawkinS, pro-
fessor of geology and palaeontology
noted anthropologist. told the scien-
lists that they, had before them "the
skull of a missing link" He added
that all the Neanderthal men were
missing links. He concurred in Sir
Arthur Keith's view that the Galilean
man was not a direct ancestor of the
human race, but a member of a race
that perished from the earth thou
sands of years ago.
Mr. Turville Petres discovery of a
Mousterian skull was announced from
Jurusalem June 49, and 1t was stated
that a skull of this type had never
before been found in Asia. Among the
discoveries recently announced by Roy
Chapman Andrews. leader of the third
Asiatic expedition in Mongolia, were
relics of Mousterian culture.

Lawson's reason for recommending
the change was because the Veterans

CARNATIONS with which the officers
must deal are situated in the National

The resolution that has probably at

asking that the Federal prohibition
law be amended. The meas sure was
