DR.. G. vissering, president of the

The commissioners conclude that

1t would be wise and conservative

to clinch now with the gold parity
and definitely return to the gold

must be reached Immediately, they
say, and adhered to whatever happens
to the pound sterling in the course of

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY

NEW YORK-Heres a certified
ghost story. II any ghost story is
true, this should be, for it is told by
]. Dyneley Prince, who has Just re-
turned to Copenhagen. where he is
the American Minister. He lives In
part of an old palace in which trag
edy occurred some centuries ago. The
lover of lady of high degree used to
enter her apartment at night through
secret door.
"The old-time partition has been
torn away" said Mr.. Prince. The
room from which the lover entered is
now my dining room. The lady's
apartment is my drawing room. Only
an imaginary line separates the two"
Mr.. Prince has two pet dogs, which
like to lie at night before the open
fire in the dining room. But at mid
night they unobtrusively sneak across
the line into the drawing room. If
forced to remain in the room in which
the dead lover walks they almost go
mad with fear.

OFFERS PRIZES
FOR VIEWS ON
SAFETY
Judge SchuIdt to Give SIS to
Children Making Best
Suggestions

In view os the dissolution of the
Washington Safety Council, Judge
Gus A. Schuldt, now sitting in the
United States branch Of the Police
Court, today, in a letter to Doctor
F. w. Ballou, announces that he
will offer $25 in prizes to the
graded school children for the best
slogans, suggestions, or essays, not
to exceed 300 words, on Safety"
The prizes will be awarded as
follows: Twelve dollars and fifty
cents for the winner in the contest
in the grades up to and including
the sixth, and the same amount for
the winner in the grades above The
sixth.
In commenting on his Offer,
Judge Schuldt said:
II was much impressed with the
report on statistics Of the National
Safety Conference, wherein 1t is
shown that the loss Of life in the
United States in 1928 due to street
and railway accidents amounted to
%. 500 and that CTS, 900 suffered per-
sonal injuries, and that IS per cent
were caused and due to automobile
traffic.
washington so far this year has
had nine deaths and 327 injured 10
its discredit.
II am a firm believer in traffic
education in its application to
safety. Both pedestrians and
autoists should be educated to be
more careful. This is an important
subject and has been forcibly
brought to my attention by the nu-
merOus colliding cases coming before
the court. Some OF these were
caused by the carelessness of the
autoists and others by the negligence
Of the pedestrians. More than two
thirds Of them could have been
avoided.
This small offer is only an ex-
preston OF my idea as to the I'M
portance Of the subject and trust
1t will result in bringing the matter
to the thoughtful attention Of the
school authorities
