serve the situation. but to wait until
the crossing is clear.
MANY automobile drivers" continues
the court, seem to imagine that with
the shift of the signal they are given
clear right-of-way against intersect-
ing traffic. In this belief they reckless
ly start their machines regardless of
persons who are already on the inter-
section. 1t is the duty of drivers of
machines to exercise the greatest vigil
lance and care under such circum-
stances not only to have their machines
under control, but to stop and wait
until pedestrians have had an oppor-
tunlty to clear the crossing.
Failure to observe these precautions
constitutes negligence on the part OF
the driver, which, in case of accident
is chargeable to him. The duty and
responsibility imposed upon drivers OF
automobiles is measured by the possibil-
tiles of dangers attending their use
upon the public highways. The auto
mobile is a vehicle of great weight
speed and power in contact with which
the pedestrian is helpless"
Justice Van Orsdel suggests that auto
drivers may consider the ruling harsh. .
but he thinks traffic conditions in
crowded streets demand 1t for the pro-
lection of life and limb.
LAS a matter of public policy and
public interest" the court says, drivers
of automobiles should be held to the
strictest accountability where pedeS-
trians are injured at public crossings
and there should be no laXity on the
part of the courts in applying the rule
of negligence in such cases."

SMITH IS GUEST
|. At RASKOB DINNER
Democratic Nominee GreetS
NeWsboys in Chorus of
Radio Play.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 5.-Gov. AL
fred e. Smith whose voice once had
to compete with New York traffic to
make itself heard in the selling OF
newspapers, last night attended a din
ner at which more than a score OF
Youngsters now making their living IN
that way were present.
The dinner was given by John j.
Raskob, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, to the cast of the
radio play up From the City Streets
and the newSboyS were members OF the
chorus of that cast.
With smile, the Democratic nominee
looked the youngsters over and salo
that about 20 years ago he had been
introduced at the NewSboys' Home at
Duane and Chambers streets as a MEM
Der of the New York Assembly. but had
made only a slight impression.
"A few years later 1 came back and
was introduced to them as the sheriff,
he continued well, they had been
looking at the movies and reading some
Wild West stories, and certainly had
some prominent place in their idea OF
public officials, because I remember the
day that was introduced as the shcrliI
1 got such a loud cheer in comparison
with that which they we're willing to
give to an aSSemblyman.
The governor said two years later ne
had returned AS president OF the boaro
of aldermen and again had falled 10
make any impression, but later when ne
returned as governor accompanied oy
three or four men in uniform ne nao
made an impression.
"The word was passed around that !!
was the head of all the soldiers and
sailors that the State maintained" ne
declared, "and think that made a
real hit"
The nominee thanked the cast of the
play for the work it was doing in the
campaign He also was photographed
sitting at the dinner table with a group
of newsboys most of whom were in
their shirt sleeves, although other mem
bers of the cost wore full evening dress

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Aug. 24.-The St.
Louis Cardinals today enjoyed the
slender percentage lead of .000145
over their nearest opponents in the
National League pennant race, the
New York Giants.
If the Cardinals won their 10th
game of the year from Philadelphia
here today, and the Giants won
their l15th against the Pirates, the
difference between the two teams
would shrink to .O00001, with st.
Louis still leading.
AS a result fandom again has gone
baseball mad and has turned to
pencils and paper to find out where
their teams are and why.
Although idle Thursday, the
Cardinals drew a break when the
Pirates split a double-header with
the Giants, forcing New York back
into second place. AS the two teams
took their respective fields today,
the standing was:
New York ........ 68 46 .596i89

today, and the Giants won their
game, the slide-rule score would
change to:
