The fire department again heroic ally permitted aspirants for blood transmission to be selected from the ranks of its members. The boys who handle the fire apparatus and the lines of hose in cases of fire are to be congratulated upon their courage and willingness to serve the afflicted in this manner when neces- sary. Citizens may not flock to the fire stations to offer personal con- gratulations, but they think highly of the men for their repeated ac- tions in this respect.

quest a lift" It Is to the credit of many automobile drivers that they are built this way; they are willing 10 help others who appear In need Of transportation.
 But good thing usually Is abused. The practice has not only been abused by people who are not entitled to be helped in thls man ner, but gunmen have repeatedly taken advantage of 1t to get in an automobile with an intended victim and then shooting or maiming him 10 get the automobile, or at least rob their benefactor.
 Such an affair took place In Missouri a few days ago, when an Ohio high school boy, after being given lift" by an autoist, mur- dered the latter. The body was thrown in a woods. and the youth then had the automobile for 2 little while. His capture and con fession resulted.
 The practice of giving lifts to un- known people makes 1t easy for crooks to attain their nefarious ends The safe way is not to give lifts tc unknown persons.

IMPROVING TRAFFIC AT THE CENTER

II appears that the Center Is to be a laboratory for the trying out of new traffic devices. having in mind an improvement in the direc- ton of traffic there. This is highly commendatory, for an improve ment, in spite Of the manifest ef- fciency of the traffic officers sta toned there when they are on duty has been consplcuously needed for some time.
 Some Of the difficulties from time to time have been pointed out in these columns. and occasional ef- forts have also been made to cir cumvent the problems. Considering the unusual difficulties created by the uneven juncture of the streets leading into the Center, perfection perhaps could not be attained, es- pecialy with the limitations of men and equipment under the jurisdic- ton of the traffic department.
 Various types of mechanical equipment which will be installed may be all right as far as they will go: but one of the main difficulties noticed recently, and regarding which the Herald has heard com plaints, has had to do with the lack of tramc policemen on duty at times when they could be stationed there with advantage. There are too many hours in the day when traffic policemen are off duty, and no amount of mechanical equipment will make up for this deficiency
 The effort 10 improve traffic con ditions at the Center, however, will be watched with interest and is q step in the right direction. It may be a difficult undertaking to create perfect conditions at the triangle but the city, with proper effort ought to he able to come rrett! well near it.

In severe cases the teeth become loose and are eventually lost.

DEMOCRATS FEAR
 NEW YORK SPLIT
Anti-Smith Movement Likely to
 Continue

New York, Aug. 13 LP}--The pros- pect of democratic anti-Smith as- semblymen in the state legislature to perpetuate the split in local democratic ranks after the mayor alty primaries was seen today in Mayor John F. Hylan's determina- ton to name full borough tickets in Manhattan and the Bronx in opposi- tion to Tammany Hall states.
 Former Surrogate John F, Coha- Ian, the mayors Manhattan and the Bronx campaign manager, announce ed last night that Hylan local tick cts in these boroughs including cans didates for assemblymen and alder. men, would be ready by tonight. Fear of a permanent split in the party was expressed by Representa- tive Aiming S. Prall of Staten Island when he wrote Davis S. Rendt, Hy- Ian borough leader of Richmond, that he intended to support State Senator Jess J. Walker for mayor. T have no doubt that the under- lying motive in this 1ammany con- test is the elimination of Governor | Smiths power in municipal politics and the defeat of his ambition to become president" MT. Prall's let ter declared.
 '"The subordination of the New York county organization in this primary by the defeat of Walker. Berry, Mckee the Tammany ticket) would seriously affect the governors availability as presidential candi- date and deprive the democratic voters of the whole state of his in- dispensahle serfice In the future"
 Rumblings of a break between Mayor Hylan and his Brooklyn chief John H. McCooey over the naming of local tickets were heard. McCooey said he would stand by & 'gentlemen's agreement" of the five borough leaders to exclude borough tickets from the city primary fight. He added that he would try to dis suade the mayor from naming Man.

 MT. Coholan said he and the

 car to wreck their party and on
 honest administration. Mir. Olvany has seen fit to put a ticket in Staten
 Island and they are now working to
 put ticket in other boroughs. Tammany Leader Olvany denied } he had anything to do with the anti
 Hylan ticket in Staten Island. Nor would such tickets he put up in : Brooklyn and Queens, he said, be. l cause he would stick to the ''gen.

 By Lewis G. Conovcr When 1t comes to trusting people have broken every rule. Lending money is q habit, I'm known as a lending fool: Yet I've seldom lost my money, Not enough to worry OCT, So whenever folks may ask me l keep right on lending more. I take chances when I'm walking Dodge in front of motor cars, Walk behind a mule that's ugly, Smoke all kinds of gift cigars, Drink home breWs, and never worry, Ride with drivers who are drunk, Race with trains to reach the cross
