THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
(Of Safety
By Barron Collier

By Barron Collier
deputy Plice Commissioner of New
York City,
For Pedestrians
/. Never cross streets at other than
regular crossings. This is "Jay
walking" This reckless practice
causes one-half of our street ac-
cidents.
2. Don't cross the street directly be-
hind a stree. car. There may
be another on the opposite track.
Or an automobile you cannot see.
3. Before stepping from the curb
see the vehicular traffic is at a
standstill. Threading traffic
is inviting injury or death.
a. Avoid cutting diagonally from
corner to corner at street inter
sections. Two lines of traffic to
watch doubles your risk of in
jury.
5. Always look both ways when
crossing streets. The sidewalk
is safe, but death turks in the
roadway.
For Automobile Drivers
6. Look out for children! Though
playing on the sidewalks they
may suddenly run into the street.
Many are injured yearly in this
manner.
7. Give the pedestrian a chance.
Even if he is careless, you will
deeply regret any injury he may
suffer. Most auto accidents oc
ours when driving fast-better
delay than death.
s. Accidents are always "unexpect-
ed,"-therefore drive carefully
at all times, using chains in
slippery weather.
9. Keep your brakes in good order.
Your life and the lives of many
others depend on your ability to
stop instantly. You can't do it
with neglected brakes.
10. Study traffic rules. Obey, them
Ignorance is no excuse.

Marble Collegiate church, New York
who was born in Portland, Oregon
/ about forty years ago, was elected
president of the United Society. DR..
Clark was elected president emeritus.
In honor of his long service on non
salaried basis, the trustees have ar
ranged to establish what is called the
DIR. Frances f. Clark Recognitio1
Fund of 100000, whose income will
be devoted to the support of DR.. and
Mrs. Clark as long as. both shall live.
After they have been called to high
er service the fund will be known
then ats the Frances E. Clark Mem
orial Fund, the income of which will
then be devoted to the extension of
Christian Endeavor work throughout
the whole world.
The people of Portland treated the
delegates most splendidly and the
Endeavorers greatly appreciated
their efforts. A few extracts from
Portland papers show the impression
the group of 1000 Christian young
people made upon the citizens.
"The eager, laughing faces of that
memorable host of boys and girls
gave denial to the supposition that
religion and gloom are inseparable."
"Thcre has been much conjecture
as to whittier we ere drifting and
what ought to be done about it, and
why, and when. But as far as this
city is concerned the Christian En-
deavor convention opened our eyes.
1t appears that lots of womanly girls
do not agree with certain tendencies
of the new freedom, and that lots of
manly boys have no acquaintance
among the vendors of bootleg. So we
are constrained to believe that the
moral condition of the country is not
so bad as we have been led to think.
and that in a conventional sense, the
Christian Endeavor convention es-
tablishes a shining precedent"
'If there is one thing that Chris
tian Endeavor demonstrates above
others it is that Christian belief in
action alone can solve great pro-
blems, such as the problems of
youth itself"
after all, religion is less form
or theory than way to live. 1t is
a thing Of the heart as well as of the
mind"
'The Christian Endeavorers are
enc of Americas great assets"
'sThe young visitors now in Port
land are an inspiration and re-
assurance. They are token and
pledge of promise, hope, and peace
in this troubled world"
"The impression left by these
thousands of orderly young people
upon the maturity and youth of
Portland have been very great"
"a marching column of thousands
of youth through the streets of the
city was an inspiring sight that those
who saw it will never forget"
