Volunteers to HNlp
In Armenia Proposed
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The hapless Armenians who had
found a haven Of refuge in the eau
casus and were gallantly striving to
establish themselves as nation are
again the victims Of an overwhelm-
ing disaster. The recent earthquake
has rendered more than 100000 peo-
pie homeless and foodless. More than
"a towns have been leveled-an un-
paralleled calamity for these people.
This has numbed the whole race
and they are in desperate need of
succor at once Thousands of them
are in danger of death from exposure
and starvation. Desolation, pesti-
lence, spread Of malaria, influenza
and other diseases, with recurring
earthshocks, are keeping the popula-
ton in a state Of panic and disaster.
Fatalities exceed 1900. Thousands
are injured and damage to property
Is well over $60.000,000. Something
has to be done-and done quickly.
The task is so stupendous that none
of the present-day relief agencies
operating there can cope with the
situation.
Knowing of the previous generous
responses Of our people, am wonder
ing If volunteer committees cannot be
organized in every community to help
gather funds to cable to Armenia or
to reliable persons or agencies at
once, either through the President of
the United States. the State Depart
ment or the American Red Cross, for
immediate life-saving work in Ar
menla. d. A. KURK.

there, operated by a watchman. Last
night, according to witnesses. the
watchman failed to lower the gates
until the motor car was on the track.
Maintenance Of safety gates-which
are only safe when they are down to
give warning-is tantamount to CIV
ing the road user a right of way when
they are not lowered. The driver
should not be expected to stop, look
and listen" if the gates are up at a
crossing thus equipped.
Negligence or tardiness on the part
Of the watchman in operating the
gates should be punished even though
no accident results. When lives are
lost, as in this latest Long Island case.
the punishment should be severe. But
Furnishing the watchman for his negli-
gence does not cure the evil. His
fault is evidence that the crossing is
not sufficiently projected. There is no
guarantee of safety at place of heavy
traffic save in the elimination of the
crossing.
There Is no need OF watchman or
gates at the crossing where the high
way goes over or under the tracks,
and that is the only kind that should
be tolerated. But while the day of
emancipation from this menace to life
is approaching the railroad companies
should be compelled, by the applica-
ton Of the severest possible penalties,
to insure dependable watchman-and-
gate service at these points Of con-
stant danger.

Driver Seen
AS Danger in Traffic
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
While driving a small car north on
Fourteenth street, was compelled to
stop behind a street car, which had
stopped to discharge an old gentleman.
He descended from the rear platform
and crossed the tracks to the other
side Of the street. hesitating to let the
street car pass and then again to see
how I was going to proceed. l waited
until he had crossed to the south
bound track before making a start
ahead.
Directly back Of me was waiting a
heavy roadster. q do not know it's
make.) The instant the street car
door was closed and before the car
started. he honked his horn with the
evident purpose Of goading me to
move ahead. When we did get into
motion and he passed me, 1 asked him
II he expected that I was going to
run the street-car passenger down
and kill him so that I might prepare
a clear way ahead for him. or words
to that effect. He replied that he only
wanted me to get out of his way Com
mon sense dictated under the circum-
stances that the only way to clear
the way for His Majesty" was to
proceed forward.
This type Of driver is one upon
whom the spotlight Of public attention
might be focused to good advantage
until he desists from the practice and
admits that. until he has clear vision
ahead, he will have to leave the
matter Of moving at the proper time
to the one ahead, who can see. He NAV
rest assured that the driver in front
Of him is behaving just as he would

THINK 1T OVER
Teaching Parents.
By William Mather LetUis,
President George Washington University

On the Western coast new educa-
tional ideas spring up and fiour1sn
with great frequency. And we need
new educational ideas. Inertia is hard
to overcome in the field of child train
ing.
For instance, can you give loSlcal
reason why eight years should De oe,
voted to the elementary schooling OF
children instead Of six, seven or nine!
There is no logical reason, Juogeo
from the standpoint of twentieth CEN
tury requirements We just carry on
for eight years because generations
ago, when the educational and social
demands were vastly different from
those Of today, that period was estap-
iished
But 1 digress.
Speaking of California, they are
about to educate parents there. An en-
dowment Of $22, 500 has been given for
this work and an assistant state su-
perintendent appointed to direct 1t.
It may or may not be signif1cant
that this man was formerly engaged
in physical education. Perhaps he will
teach the parents how to ply the Slip
per, an art which was effective as an
educational adjunct in the early days,
but which of recent years has fallen
into disuse.
To education of parents! That is an
exceedingly important thing. The
child Is not a miniature man. but a
distinct type of individual, with his
own APPROACH to the problems of life.
You cannot talk down to him. He must
be met on his own level The parent
who fails to do the best by his child
is he who cannot or who will not un-
derstand it.
All success to California! May the
system spread eastward.

Downs Rise to Fame
Inspiration to Youth
From the Admission Star.

From the Admission star.
Lawrence A. Downs has become
president Of the Illinois Central Rail
way System, and in his selection for
the important position there is inspi-
ration for American youth. Lawrence
A. Downs not a great many years
ago was earning $50 a month as a
rodman. From rodman at $50 a
month to the presidency of great
system at a salary of many thou
sands a year Is a long Jump, but Mr..
Downs made it and in doing so he
furnished evidence that faithful serv-
ice, a desire to get ahead and the
constant working toward high mark
can bring the humblest worker to the
highest place, and frequently does so.
Mr.. Downs did not become presi-
dent of the great railway system he
now heads at one leap. He had to
work himself up by degrees, and
there is where his determination. his
ability and his faithful service count
ed Pushing ever upward. he went
from rodman to assistant engineer
then roadmaster, then chief engineers
assistant, where he had charge of the
maintenance of way department for
the whole system.

Ty Cobb.

Even those who have booed the
loudest when Ty Cobb came strolling
in from center field to argue with
the umpire or to stall in removing a
pitcher will feel a keen regret that
they probably for the last time have
seen this great player in action. After
twenty-one years Of brilliance with
the Detroit American League base
ball club-years crowded with action
from the time he was a sensational
rookie, fresh as paint, but with poten-
tialities that drew him Immediately
into the spotlight. to his term Of six
years as manager-Ty has resigned
his post and will no longer play with
the team Of which he has been so
important a member.
Cobb, unquestionably one Of the
greatest players who ever lived.
smart, quick, fine fielder and a
better batter, was notoriously unsuo-
cessful as a manager. Dissension be-
tween him and his players developed
soon after he was placed in charge
and this fact spelled failure for his
often expressed pennant aspiration
for the Detroit club. Brilliant him
self, 1t was said that because certain
other players were unable to emulate
his feats on the diamond he would be-
come disguised and that this was one
Of the reasons for his inability to
maintain harmony on the team.
Once a base ball man always a
base ball man, and Cobb after more
than a fifth Of century on the
major league diamond may try again
as a manager on some other club. He
may become. ''magnate." acquiring
ownership. But his playing days are
Just about over, although there are
still few batters who can meet the
ball with his uncanny skill and few
men, if any, who possess his knowl-
edge of the national game. He is one
of the notable figures Of base ball
history and one Of the chief con-
tributors to the popularity that base
ball holds from coast to coast. His
passing from the field, therefore, will
be mourned by players and fans alike
and the horizon will be scanned for
another coming Ty Cobb.
