KEEP ROLLER SKATERS
 OUT OF STREETS

There was q time when roller skating by children was not as dan gerous a sport as it is today; but that vas before automobiles came to add an element Of danger that did not exist in the old days.
 If youths on roller skates rr- mainod upon the silrwolk all would be welI but in crossing streets - from sidewalk 10 side walk - they place themselves in much greater danger than the ordinary foot pedestrian by reason of the lessened control over them selves due to the roller skates Thousands Of foot pedestrians save themselves from accident by being able 10 come to a sudden stop or 1o retreat instantly; but such ac- tion by boys on roller skate" Is nearly out of the question: IherV may be some exceptional experts who can take care of themselves O" roller skates nearly as eff"cti> ely as whom walking, but they arc greatly in Inc minority.
 Tho worst feature about ro'l"l skating, however, is that lads vii. skate in the streets. A smooth pave ment is IS attractive to them as Il ,s to an au-oist A boy on r".'"' skntos has no business in ,hc street any more t1au ha would hay" any business walking in iii" street. y '' the duty Of paronts 10 insist 'N" thcv get ou- of Inc s'rccts anI is the duty Of tho police to k them out. {

SPEED COMPLETION AMONG RAILROADS

i"mpiitiou in speed between som Of 'hr trunk line railroads IS again tt, top notch. Since the days when Ihe New York Central anl the pcnnsyN1nla agreed to slow mp the lime ot their fastest trains be- tween New York and Chicago to 20 hours - the previous time having been IS hours -- it was supposed the railroads would stay put with their time schedules in future on Che score of safety first. But the bug for faster travel IS again in the air.
 The Pennsylvania evidently has started if by announcing sub s.antial reduction of running timr h.twocn Now York and phIa- d,lphia and St Louis and also be- tween the eastern cities aud New Orleans - of course. applying only 10 one al-Pullman cNtra-f re "cracl," train. The Baltimore X Ohio follows shit with an all-pull- man limited from Baltimore and Washington to St. Louis. 10 com Octn with the fast one on tho Penn sylyania, The Now York Central has not been heard from in 'his rush 10 St. Louis but is rather minus any trumps because it runs 10 Albany 1 before turning west
 | The speed domon on tho r4il- roads is not exactly bIossiug. The tension on equipment and mon is enormous, and the chance for acci- i dent is not exactly eliminated.
 The situation now is that one can travel from New York 10 Chicago in 20 hours on the fastest trains or 1.-two railroads; from Philadelphia t(
 Chicago in IS hours on one rail
 road; from Washington to Chicago in IS hours on one railroad; an' Inow from Philadelphia or Wash
 ington to $. Louis in 22 hours,
 reduction of two hours over tn previous time,
 This is fast enough. Thr railroad

EX-HOTEL MAN DIES
John St. Lawrence of New Haven Formerly Was Prominently Iden- flied With the Business.

New Haven, March 10.-John St. Lawrence, former hotel man, who died here yesterday after short ill., ness was known to q great many older people of the state who in years gone by visited at what is now the pleasure resort of Savin Rock in West Haven. In those days the shore there had few amusement de- vices and visitors went there for a good dinner and a rest. St. Law renee kept an old fashioned house known as Hill's homestead estab- lished before the days Of street cars and in which N. D. Sperry long q congressman from the old second district had his campaign headquar- ters. The homestead was the place of gathering of politicians from all over the state. and for meetings of political organizations. A few years before Congressman Sperry's death the quiotude Of the place was en- croaChpd upon by the growth of SaVin Rock as a miniature Coney Island so that Hilrs homestead lost it's quiet surroundings although Its fame as a place for good meals con, tinued for a long period drawing tc it many of ifs former patrons. Mr. St. Lawrence, a Hartford man
 was manager of both the Allyr House and the United States hote , there during his hotel life and al
 ways retained his membership ir Hartford lodge of Elks.
 The funeral will be in St, Law
 renee church, West Haven, Thursday

Proposition of taking Over The Abandoned Army Reservations For State Use Being Studied.

Jacksonville, Fla, March b. Data on state parks in the south and plans of various states for develop ment and maintenance of systems of state recreation grounds are being gathered for the National Confer cncc on State Parks by Raymond II. Torrcy, field secretary of the organi- ZatiOn. This information is to be used in advising other states of the ways and means used in establsh- ing. maintaining and administering state park systems.
 Mir. TOrrey, speaking of his labOrs, declared that one of the objects of the survey was to induce states in which are located military rescrva- tions which the United States war department wishes 10 dispose Of, to take over these tracts for outdoor recreation purposes. There are many such, tracts. he said.
 The National Conference on State Parks Is composed of executives. technical experts and supporters of state park systems from states which already have public outdoor recreation.
