State. special alertness by motorists
looking TO the prevention Of accidents
involving children. was urged this weel
by e. Austin Baughman motor vehicle
commissioner. who points out that au
tomobile pedestrian accidents durins
the past year show an alarming num-
her OF persons under Is years OF age a;
the victims.
The motorist must realize" say;
Commissioner Baughman. that where.
ever children are adjacent to or upon
the thorouchfare the utmost cautious
ness is necessary in approaching and
passing such point Every obstruction
TO the drivers view. when in localities
where children are present. must be re-
Earded as a danger point where atten-
tireness and extra alertncSs is vitality
required.
Fail 20 Realize.
The injuries and the deaths of chill
dren originate. primo ily from the
youngsters being on the HIGHWAYS N
entering 1t suddenly and thoughtlessly
ct A position too close II the nlovirc
The main underlying cause Of such
accidents is the absolute failure Of the
childish mind to be able to realize or
appreciate the dangers wi1ir,1 are s.
obvious to the mind CT an adult. In ed
dition. the child at play has nothing
IN his mind but the game he is engaged
IN He Is thoughtless of anything but
the game upon which his mind is cen
tered
These very conditions place upon the
generator of motor vehicles an added and
real responsibility Ee must assume
not only his own usual responsibility
but also the responsibility of the child
The obvious preventive or correc-
tive measure is to endeavor to bring to
Children a realization that tn. high
WAYS are places tn be avoided because
OF the danger existing there.
Need Teaching.
Children should be taught that they
must not run suddenly into the street
that they must nc"er dart quickly from
behind any obstruction to their view or
70 the view of persons passing in auto
mobiles, but must stop and survey the
highway before moving into the travel
ed portion thereof. Further. they
should be forbidden by parents. guardi-
ans and teachers ever to use the streets
for Fairgrounds or for coasting, skating
or riding scooter
Educational work along these lines
Is sadly needed. 1t will require much
time and continuous and persistent en-
deavor. In the meantime every adult
user of the highways must assume the
burden of greater responsibility in TAX
ing every precaution to prevent death
or injury to children
THE motorist must realize that chill
dren playing in the highways consti-
tute a privileged class who must be
given opportunity to reach a safe loca-
ton before he proceeds and that even
then he must be on the alert. as one of
them may dart Unexpectedly back in

Philosophy for Those
Who Think of Suicide

remember, years ago, short edi,
torial, apropos of some notable and
particularly pltlable case Of suicide,
that appeared In one OF the London
papers It was entitled tunnels"
recall very little about 1t, save
that II aroused much comment, and
contained this one great thought: If
only people would realize when they
are passing through a hard lime, no
matter how hard, that they are mere
ly passing through a tunnel, and that
to jump out OF the train In the mid
die of the tunnel neither mends nor
ends anything, but only adds to the
toll and the tears, and pcstpones
what is, In any case, inevitable: an
ultimate re-emergence Into light"
Those are not the exact words, of
course, but so 1t was in effect. The
smile has always seemed to me u
strlkingly just one, for II holds every
way. The longer, the darker, the
more sulphurous the tunnel, the more
certainly Is a leap from the train
leap from the frying pan into the fire.
At that moment, for US, there is no
better 'ole.-Hugh A. Studdert Ken

many American travellers in England.
The novelist, who died In 1890, Is
buried in Hlghgate cemetery, fact
unknown to most Of her own country
people. Her grave was OvergrOwn
with weeds and left INTENDED for
years until recently two women from
Baltimore paid TO have It resolled

In fact, are the principal pilgrims to
honor the great novelist. Many Of
them pluck flower or leaf and carry

Dared Instant Death
TO Saue Fathers Life

A daring climb was accomplished at
Repton, In Lancashire. England, some
years ago, the exploit being kept In
memory by frayed fragment OF cord
that used to bangle from the cross
surrounding the lofty spire OF the VII.
lage church, and which was known
locally as Little Bsssle's Rope" Bees
sic was the daughter OF a Repton
steeplejack who one day. In spirit
of bravado ana In order to win bet
of few shilings, undertook to climb
to the top of the spire and there don
suit of clothes with which he had
been presented.
True to his word he fixed his lad
ders on the day appointed and climbed
by their aid as far as the bottom
of the big copper ball which upheld
the cross. Over one arm of the cross
he then lassoed rope, up which he
climbed, and afterward proceeded to
don the clothes. Next, standing up
right, he started to throw into the
air one by one, his old garments. Sud-
denly, however, there was cry of
alright from above, followed by
great hush below. The foolish fellow
had somehow managed to loosen the
rope, his sole connecting link with
terra firma, and It slipped down and
hung suspended from the topmOst
ladder, 80 feet below. Two or three
men moved hesitatingly toward the
church, but chlld-woman Of sixteen,
his daughter, was there first.
Rung by rung she mounted until she
looked no bigger than doll. Then,
after three failures, cllnglng mean.
while by one hand-and that one the
left-she succeeded In throwing the
noosed cord over the cross once
more.

The Water Spider

A correspondent of English Coun'
try Life describes peculiar spider
that lives under water the greater
part of Its life. II builds dome-like
nest of silk among weeds In ponds and
bitches, and fills the nest with air.
In that strange house It lives and
lays Its eggs. In autumn II makes
another nest at a greater distance
below the surface of the water, and,
having sealed itself inside, 1t sleeps
until spring. Taken out Of the water,
the spider looks like any other, but as
soon as 1t Is put back, the bubble Of
air that It collects round Its body
makes It look like ball of qulcksil-
yer. 1t Is the only spider that has
taken to wholly aquatic life, says
the writer.

TO do good is the only way to be

themselves, trying to speak OF their
way Of life In the past or In the fu-

50 impedes true happiness (Which
consists in living good llfe) as the
habit Of expecting something from the

which consists In inner self-content,
the future can give nothing and ev-

Shun Women to Insure
Good Catch of Seals

For five months of the year the en-
tire male membership, from the weaned
infants to the Oldest patriarch, Of the
Eskimo tribe inhabiting Nuniyak
island Off the coast of Alaska, keep
bachelor quarters in Isolation lodge,
during this period. The women cook
for them, bringing the food to the
lodge, where 1t is eaten.
According to Henry Il. Collins, Jr.,
Smithsonian ethnologist who has re-
turned from an expedition to Alaska,
this separation Of the sexes Is consid-
cred by the Eskimo to be necessary
to insure a good catch Of seals.
The Nunivak islanders, numbering
ITO souls in all, represent one Of the
most conservative Eskimo groups left.
This Is due to their Isolation. Though
their island measures 20 by 40 miles,
1t Is so barren as to have little attrac-
ton for white men. The bureau OF
education maintains a teacher and his
wife on the island, but previous to
the arrival Of the Smithsonian exped-
ton, they had had no visit from
boat In two years. The only other
representative of the outside world Is
an Eskimo trader at another village
80 miles away.
The lives Of the islanders revolye
around the seal, on which they are
largely dependent for food, clothing
and light. In consequence, the seal is
looked upon with the protoundest re-
spect. The five months Of Isolation
from women is concluded with feast
at which the bladders Of all seals
caught during the year are thrown
back into the sea to propltiate the seal
tribe.
Numberless taboos regulate the hunt
Ing, sklnning and general handling Of
the animal.
SO little Is known Of Nunivak island,
says Mr.. Collins, that Its shores are
not even charted.

Encouraging Weeds

Chemicals employed for the purpose
Of killing weeds kill every green thing
grass, weeds and all. Ordinary sa-
line solutions are effective for the
purpose salt and water Sometimes
the more drastic corrosive agents are
used, such as nitrate of soda or sui
phate Of ammonia. They render the
ground barren until rains have
washed them away and nature has
reseeded the affected soil. The results
are not permanent, therefore, al
thought plant growth may be killed
for season by single strong APP
pllcatlon. None of these chemicals
should be employed In garden or
around dwelling. There elbow
grease Is still the only satisfactory
agent for discOuraglng weeds.
