sphinx Whispered To Him.
 Two new traffic officers will be added to the police department, if petitions which will be presented in the immediate future to the city council are considered favorably. One petition will be discussed at d public meeting in the John r. Wade school on Thursday night when resi- dents of the East Bristol section will present their arguments to the coun- cil in favor of traffic officer at the corner of Broad, King and Middle streets and Riverside avenue.
 Another petition calls for traffic officer in the center of Forestville during times on weekdays that school children cross and from 8 o'clock in the morning on Sundays until s o'clock at night.
 Both petitions have been actuated by reason of the many close calls from serious accidents and the sev- eral fatal accidents which have talk en place in the city in the last few days among school children. At both of the points where traffic officers are desired, school children cross streets which teem with traffic at times.
 The East Bristol petition came to the council at the last meeting with 75 stgners, and hearing was as- signed for the John F. Wade school so that all interested may attend. It is the wish of the promoters of the petition to have a motorcycle officer patrol the East Bristol section and to act as the traffic officer during the periods that the school children pass to and from their studies.
 AS there is no separate taxing dis trict in the East Bristol section, such an arrangement must be made so that the expenses of the officer may be defrayed. This question will be considered at the hearing tomorrow night also.
 In Forestville the separate taxing district exists and for some years past an officer has been on duty at night. Consequently the detail of getting another officer will not be so great as in the East Bristol section, the city officials think.
