CLAWSON SCHOOL
PUPIL WRITES
SAFETY RULES

"Out of the mouths of babies"--
Little Miss Martha Huxtables age
10, of S37 Tenth street, has submit
ted to her classmates of grade 5-A
at the Clawson school, in this city,
rules to govern them in contributing
to safety on highways that might
we'll be adopted by all adults. The
young lady's precautionary admoni-
tions follow:
So many accidents and deaths by
automobiles have occurred in the
last 12 months that a nationwide
movement is being made to educate
the public along safety lines through
the children, which is a very wise
thing to do. Interest the children in
any undertaking, and they carry the
ideas into the home and they soon
become part of the daily life. Safe
ty always begins at home.
The first great safety rule is: Ex-
ercise common sense.
Look right and left before cross
ing the street
Do not run across the street when
a car or motorcycle is coming.
Do not cross the street until signal
is given.
Do not jay walk.
Do not ride your coaster down
driveways into the street.
Do not skate in THE street.
Stop! Look Listen! At\ railroad
crossings.
1t is very important to study the
traffic rules of the city in, which you
live.
1t is unlawful to permit anyone
under 16 to drive your car.
It is unlawful for a person under
16 to drive a car.
1t is unlawful for an intoxicated
person to drive a car.
1t is unlawful to ,ride any kind of
vehicle on the sidewalk. -......
Every car shall have two lighted
lamps in front, and a red one in the
rear.
After dark all vehicles being driven
should be lighted.
Eyary car should have a horn to
sound as warning of danger.
Every person driving a car should
drive on the right hand side of the
street.
In overtaking a car, pass to the
left.
In backing out from any parking
place see first if it can be done with
safety.
The driver of a car should be sure
he is giving the right signals.
A driver should know the signals
before he is given a certificate for
driving.
My school shares in public safety
by insisting that all shall observe
safety rules.

lecture We know now this matter
is regarded at the Mexican capital.
"At present the Imperial Valley
is beifg irrigated, and the levees
portecting it's lands rom overflow
are being operated and maintained
through the courtesy OF the Mexican
government. An act of aggression
on our part such as some of the
people of California seem to favor,
might lead to reprisal on the part
of Mexico that would interfere with
the operation of these works.
Imperial Valley depends on and
must depend on the operation OF
the canal and leee system for sew
eral years. 1t seems much more
sensible, more courteous, therefore,
to approach this matter as the sec
retary has done. 1t will help pre-
vent destructive reprisals which
Mexico is capable of putting into
effect both on Rio Grande and the
Coloradof. The people of the I'm

KENT COOPER OF
A. P. Tells OF
ITS FORMATION
(By Dispatch A. P. wirel

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 1.-Two
pioneers of journalism standing on a
stormswept corner in Chicago late
one day 3S years ago, voiced a de-
termination from which sprang the
Associated Press. the worlds largest
news gathering organization.
This was the word picture painted
by Kent Cooper of New York, its
general manager in an address before
the Minnesota members of the Asso-
ciated Press at their annual meeting
here.
These two men, then young, had
just received an ultimatum from the
head of a privately owned news as
sociation, which threatened the profit
of one of their papers over long
period of years, unless they acceded
to the demand for cessation of Che
cooperative news gathering effort
eff l must surrender any part of
the profits of my newspaper to get
news service that meets my prin-
ciples," said one of the men with
quiet determination, 81 will use them
in developing the cooperative idea
of gathering news"
That man was the late Victor F.
Lawson, publisher of the Chicago
Daily News, and his companion who
joined forces with him in this news
rebellion" was Frank B. Noyes, pub
Usher of the Washington Star and
now president of the Associated Press.
These men, soliciting the aid of Mel
Vile e. Stone as general manager,
launched the present day Associated
Press and Cooper said fought it's
battles with a religious fervor," join
ed by others with faith in the idea.
From it an organization of 1850 daily
newspapers has grown.

The degree to which animals af-

In answer to recent inquiry the

tuberculosis is regarded as danger

and to any extent. The discharge
of tubercle bacilli from the mouth,

Tape Worm Remedy
Found for Poultry

An effective remedy, for Kidding
poultry of tapeworm has been re-
ported by Doctors Beach and War
rem, of the department of veterinary
science, at the University of Wis
consin.
The drug is known as kamala, and
has been proven, in the experiments
of Beach and Warren, to be nearly
one hundred per cent effective, in
Kidding tapeworms from infested
chickens.
In one of the Wisconsin demon
stra tons, kamala was fed two fiocks
of Is birds each, at the rate of one
gram to a bird mixed with small
amount of moistened white bread.
The mixture was placed in trough
to which the birds had free access.
Egg production and general consu-
tuition were not in any way at
fected. Trap nest records on both
the fiocks, kept before and after
treatment, showed no decrease IN
egg production. and as far as could
be observed, none of the birds sui
fered any physical bad effects.
Beach and Warren found that TINS
particular drug is especially adVan-
tageous in that it need not be toI-
lowed by a purge, as it has purgative
properties itself.-The University OF
