GOOD luck!" said Crane. KNOCK

"And get a D. S. o. as well as the
NJ. c." was the advice Of Drew, the
other guest in Jimmys study.
Dennis Stanhope followed Jackson
along the dark corridor to the private
part of the house, down to the hall,
where he had so often waited for intere-
views, generally unpleasant, with old
Granger, and then made his way down
into the big, gloomy room with all its
photographs Of oxford undergraduate
groups in the eighties. The master
could be distinguished in them as a
weak faced individual with fluffy side
whiskers and spectacles. An oar above
the fireplace showed that he had once
-owed for Pembroke. but, looking at him,
one found this hard to believe. In the
corner cupboard were the canes. and
round the walls were the little framed
notices and texts which the old man so
often condemned boys to copy out 500
times. Exercise books lying open on
his desk bore the terse, caustic COM
ments in red pencil which had made
him famous.
Tonight, however, he was genial to

that doesn't want milk. It's 50 hard
to get milk"
But after prayers old Granger made
It clear that he expected Stanhope In
his own study for what he called, with
an attempt at geniality, "a good pow
wow" Reluctantly he agreed that his
visitor should be allowed to spend q
quarter of an hour with Raleigh.
Jimmy now had one of the best
studies in the house. 1t was paneled
with vanished deal, and Stanhope dis
covered, with something of a shock, his
own initials cut deep in the wood just
behind the door. He had almost for
gotten that he had once shared this
little, square room with Trehernee, who
had been killed in the second battle OF
Ypres. In those days they'd had
Powered cretonne curtains which he
preferred to Jimny'S severe easement
cloth, and the hunting pictures round
the walls had been replaced by framed
color prints, one showing men in khaki
climbing out of an incredibly neat
trench to charge. another depicting a
German Zeppelin hurting down in
flames, and third giving a highly i'm
possible version of a British armed
trawler putting up a magnificent fight
against overwhelming odds in the shape
of several units of the German fleet

the bookcase was a photograph in a
silver frame, surmounted by the regi-
mental badge, of Stanhope himself as
very self-conscious second lieutenant
Jimmy Raleigh clambered up on to
The table and hung a little saucepan
on to wire above the gas burner. The
possibility that the housemaster might
come round to fetch Stanhope made
this breach Of rules all the more cxcit-
ing, and thereby improved the flavor of
the cocoa, but, to be on the safe side,
Crane, one of the fellows invited in for
the occasion, scattered a few nutshellS
on the floor of the corridor which led
to old "Pimples' part of the house.
But this return to breaches of school
discipline did not give Stanhope the
repose for which he longed. He made
1t clear that he himself did not want
to talk about the war, but the con-
versation turned back to it the whole
time. Six masters had Joined up, and
little Marshall, the maths. master
whom they had ragged SO numerically,
had somehow won the D. S. o. Ever so

many fellows, including Raleigh himself,
were leaving school at the end OF the
term and the war had become so much
q part and parcel of their lives that
they hardly considered the question Of
what sort of career was to follow it.
Davis, Lethbridge, Woods, Northcote-
so many of Stanhope's contemporaries
had been knocked out, and one, Wilkin-
son, had disgraced the whole school by
going to prison, with much eclat, as a
conscientious objector. In the o. T. C..
now they learnt all about trench-dig-
ging, and traverses, and the trajectories
of guns. 1t was all very important, very
exhilarating, and yet, in some in
def1nable way, very remote from any
conception of the real thing. Mud,
when talked of over here in England,
sounded romantic.
The nutshells cracked, the cocoa and
cups were quickly hidden, and old Jack
son, Graingers scout" slid into the
study. He addressed Stanhope as sir
and told him that Mr.. Granger was
waiting for him downstairs. There was
no escaping the ordeal.
"Cheero, Jimmy" Stanhope said as
he stood in the doorway. See you
soon. Mind you get into my battalion"

STOECKEL USES AIR
 IN SAFETY APPEAL
Motor Vehicle Commissioner to
 Make Weekly Broadcasts

A plan to use the radio in direct appeal to the public for cooperation in efforts to promote highway safety was announced last night by Com missioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel, from WTIC. the Travel CTS station, at Hartford, A series of talks will be given in coming weeks, he said, dealing with particular problems which arise from the pres ent complex traffic conditions and various ways open to everyone 10 help solve these problems,
 These discussions will be prepared by the motor vehicle department and p.esented every Thursday from WTIC usually al 1 ?. m, and 6315 ?. m. On the same day. articles covering the subject matter of the talks will be released to the news papers. By this double method of presentation it is expected that near ly all traffic participants will be reached
 The purpose behind the new effort, Commissioner Stoeckel said, is 10 bring to the realization of every driver and pedestrian that each has a definite part in traffic today, and that there are things each can do so as to be of assistance 10 those who are trying 10 save lives and eliminate dangers.
 Absent Mindedness Factor
 Eighty per cent of all motor vehicle accidents and mishaps occur because there is some little personal kink in conduct caused by a lapse In attentiveness 10 the job of driv- ing said Commissioner Stoeckel. This lapse is most often inadvertent. We might call it carelessness. But carelessnesS may result from many other causes. II may come from for gettulness, or distraction, or from any other little trait of mind which even momentarily takes from the di- recting mind its fXity of purpose on the driving Immediate consequences are. Of course. always expected 10 be suffered by the 1inner himself. In motor driving tlEs is often not the tdstf put llht lIIt innocent DNSl-Ilel who gets shot by mistake, the con- sequence. often fall upon others So 1t is necessary 10 remember that motor driving affects everyone. If wrong, II is q danger to everyone so everyone ought 10 be interested in 1t to the extent Of selt-care at least, while actual operators must in addi- ton. because they hay assumed the burden of responsibility by becoming operators, lool- out for others as well. So this comes back 10 the original proposition that defects in personal driving conduct make 4-5 Of all the trouble. That means 4-5 of the deaths, crippling incapacities, hurts and finally money losses. Rec osnlzing this. we plan to set before you various short discussions Of the more common types of personal defects which appear.
 Tt is somewhat daring. perhaps, to discuss personal conduct in this
New Britain herald., 1930-06-06

new field. Very probably none of us knows very Ii Gch about it now. But We must do something about it.
 What Drivers Should Know
 Do yoh know when it is safe to go fast? Do you know that you can create danger sometimes by driving to- slowly? Are you sure you know what 10 do after you have had an ac- cident? Do you know the part you should play when some one else has an accident? Do you know what traffic plans are being made in Con- necticut today to relieve conditions? Do you know the ways in which tre mo '~ vehicle department is pre- pared to assist you, aside from is suing license Or registration? Do you know how to get q registration with the least possible incon- venience? Do you know that the state is preparing an examination for drivers, designed 10 assure that everyone who goes on the highway as an operator will have knowledge Of what is ahead of him and ability to meet conditions and circum- stances? These are some of the things 10 be discussed.
 What the state Of Connecticut wants Of the listener. both now and in the future, is self-ancIysis in the light of what he hears If he is told in broadcast about how such per sonal characteristic as curiosity makes accidents, let him ask himself Does that fit me-" It is a fact that the most lovable. most honorable and most distinguished person is just as apt to commit the kind of per sonal error to which this idea is di- rected as that it be the act of criminal or reckless person. But it makes very little difference to the victim who is hit by a car whether its operator is gentleman or a ruff fan The effect is the same. Self analyst and correction are in order. In fact they constitute the sole hope f an immediate betterm.nt."
