His eye ran slowly from the toe to

SAFETY OF PUPILS
ON STREETS IS UP
BaiIou and EIdridge Confer
on Measures to Pro-
tect Children.

With school days near. Traffic Di
rector Eldridge and Supt. of Schools
Ballou conferred yesterday on ways
and means of safeguarding children,
not only in the vicinity of SCHOOL
buildings. but at busy corners where
large numbers of boys and girls pass
on their way to and from school.
Mr.. Eldridge and DR.. Ballou dis
cussed what should be done at boule
ward intersections where large mum
bers of pupils pass. such as Seventh
street and Rhode Island avenue. 1t
was decided to have the school Off
Gals study the problem first and make
suggestions to the traffic director.
Safety Talks Planned.
In addition TO precautions taken on
the streets, DIR. Bailou said last night
that talks on safety would be made to
the pupils In the classrooms again this
year to impress upon them the neces-
sity of care in going to and from
school.
Mr. Eldridge said he welcomed the
opening of the schools, because he felt
that the youth of the city are under
closer supervision during the school
months.
Figures recently given out by the
Department of Commerce showed 13
traffic deaths in Washington during
the four weeks ending August Is. A
Census Bureau statement of August
81 states the number of fatal acci-
dents in Washington for the four
weeks ending August Is was S. The
same statement reported Z fatal acci-
dents for the four weeks ending July
Is. The figure 13. therefore, would
apply TO eight weeks ending Au-
gust Is.
Figures at Variance.
For the seven and onehsf months
of 1925. ending August Is, the number
OF fatal accidents in the District is
given by the Census Bureau s 54.
A check-up of records in the Office of
Traffic Director F,ldridge last night
shows that the pouice report 90 traffic
deaths for the same period.
Mr.. Eldridge said he did not know
how the two agencies arrived at diff
ferent totals. The Census Bureau
statement carried a foot-note stating
that the figure - was provisional"
4 chart kept by the Police Depart
ment shows that for the first months
OF 1925 Washington had 81 traffic
deaths. The chart also shows that
for the same s months of 1924 the
number OF deaths was Sc.
The bulletin Of the Census Bureau
states that its figures show the dea tbs
in each city regardless of the place of
the accident and regardless of resi-
denCe.
Despite the difference in figures, one
fact is evident in the reports, that
traffic deaths here are about the same
as last year despite the increase in
the number of autos.

Gum, after coming out of q trap at
the green, missed his putt by inches.
The champion had gained his pace
and never again did the youngster
gain the lead. The fourteenth gave
him birdie 3 by virtue OF a 20-foot
putt that drew a gasp from the gall
lery. Gum fell stroke behind when
he required two puts Again at the
fifteenth Jones added a hole when
Gum pitched too strongly and then
missed his 15-foot tap by 10 inches

quest on the seventeenth when the
champion set down his tee shot Z
yards from the green and stopped his
second 2 feet from the pin for an.
other birdie g. One more. and a lead
of four, came at the home green, as
Gum hooked into the traps and
flubbed his pitchout.
Although all interested had con-
ceded that the title had been won
when the afternoon started, the gall
lery had grown to unwieldy propor-
tions, as the sun shot it's rays into the
sweating throng.

required an extra shot at the trap on

Here the squirt ended. The twenty

twenty-fourth was halved, but Gum
offered his last gasp on the twenty
fifth, downing a putt after a long
pitch which landed z feet from
the cup. Jones ratified off the next
four holes in par figures while Gum
sent his drives to the rough and his
seconds to the sand pits which crowd

from the first to the fourth floor
through the dumb waiter shaft, has
not as yet been determined. The
