Cause of Many Accidents : Not Prohibited By Laws,

SAFETY MEASURE TALK

Tt is sometimes difficult for any disciplinary authority to classify as an offense an act which is not pro- hibited by law" said Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, Robbins B. stoeckel in a safety bulletin read from WTIC. The Travellers Station this, afternoon. Tn 6 general way, however" the bulletin said almost any action which is extreme in its nature and makes danger and difii- eufty for any person, might be so designated. A particular action of this kind has been brought to atten.. tion recently by accidents in Connep- ticut which have been caused, to some extent at least, by oyercrowd- ing in cars.
 Tt is habituaIfor as many people us can to crowd into a car. It is especially true that parties of young people out for an afternoon or even ing to overcrowd cars and especially oycrcrowd the front seat. There are two great dangers in overcrowding. One IS 'the actual physical impair ment of tile drivers ability by jolt ing or crowding him so that his necessary acts of operation are not perfectly performed. The other and by far the most important is the dis
 
 conditions always bring about. No operator drives well when his atten- ton is distracted and there is a qties- tion as to how much action the individual can stand and still be safe. Ii is known that there are many persons who could probably construct a thesis or a sermon anu drive n car at the same time. But t is also known that there are many mure who cannot. '-',-' '''s" - "

Selecting Toys


The intricate, mechanical toy
rarely gives the pleasure that a
simpler one does. Children need
for playthings chiefly ray mater
ials which they can work up into
something. One of the happiest
possessions of my young brood
was a piano-box which was one
day playhouse, the next day a
train, then a store, a boat or what
not. The beauty of it was that it
was always a-building and being
made into something but never
done. Completion would have spoil
ed it and robbed it of the mystery
of anticipation.
Blocks, hammer, nails, boards,
building clay, pieces of cloth, paste
and scissors, slate and pencil, a
rag doll, knife, top to spin, sled,
skates these are the real joys Of
chiudhood. A doll you can hug and
undress is much more alluring than
g wax creation--no matter how
much the little miss may rave over
the latter when she sees it in the
store window. She really loves the
cuddly baby doll better. A toy is
something you can really do some

CHRISTMAS DINNER
PROBLEMS SOLVED
Make Menu Bountiful But Sim
ple-Spend No More Time Than
Necessary in Preparation

sWhat to have for the Christmas
dinner is not 80 perplexing as to
what not to have in order that the
housewife will not spend more
time than necessary in preparation
for the Yuletide table," says Miss
Lorna Barber, extension nutrition
list, Washington State College.
"Make the menu bountiful, but
simple enough so that even the
children can join in its prepare
ton. Doing things together is the
secret Of good times, especially at
Christmas.
Eliminate the cocktail and the
soup from the Christmas dinner by
beginning at once with the roast
duck. This will be found very pop
ular with the children and will save
considerable time and energy. With
these items eliminated, the Christ
mas menu will look something
like this:
Roast Duck
Riced Potatoes Apple Dressing
Gravy
Scalloped Tomatoes and Corn
Celery Curls Stuffed Olives
Pear Pickles
Christmas Rolls Currant Jelly
Cranberry Jelly Salad
Plum Pudding Hard Sauce
or Sterling Sauce
Mixed Nuts Fruit and Candies

"Duck is an ideal Christmas bird
and especially good with apple
dressing. The dressing is easily
by using bread dressing

Toys should be substantial, with

STANFORD'S DRIVE
NEAR END DECIDES
Minnesota Ripped to Pieces
in Last Period in Tilt
With 13-to-O Score.

= TANFORD STADIUM, Palo Alto,
Calf, october 10 (P.-Ripping
- Minnesota's defense into shreds
with a fourth-period offensive
that swept everything before it, Stan
ford's Indians scored 13-to-0 victory
today over the Midwestern team in a
fiercely fought intersectional battle.
Behind the reverses, fake reverses
and laterials that go to make up Coach
Glenn Warmers famed system Of foot
ball, the Indians turned a potentially
scoreleSs game into Minnesota rout.
For nearly three periods, the war
riors from the Northwest had either
held their own or withstood scoring
threats. Then Somers, whose brilliant
play at quarterback for Minnesota had
thrilled 10000 spectators time and
again, miscaluculated punt 1t slipped
from his hands, and Hand, Stanford
substitute left tackle, dropped on it 81
yards from Minnesatos scoring turf.
Standards big rally started. Allen
tipped pass to Caddel that was good
for II yards, Hillmsn,. quarterback,
plunged into the center of the line and
went over the remaining 3 yards for a
touchdown. Moffatt made the try for
point with a place kick.
Cheering had hardly died down before
the men Of Stanford were on their way
to another score. The Indians re-
ceived the kickoff on their 22-yard
line. When the ball was released by
them, another touchdown had been
posted on the score board.

Cardinals spitball pitcher, began to
weaken and walk people.
Grimes was the first man up. He
went to the plate, then stepped out
OF the box and walked slowly toward

way and they talked. After which

ably ruined its 1881 prospects, for four

The Greens dearly earned victory re-

AUBURN PASSES TIE
WISCONSIN, 7 TO 7
Badgers Running Attack and Rain
Fail to Conquer Stubborn
Southern Invaders.
BY the Associated Press.

RANDALL STADIUM, Madison, Wis,
october 10.-A stubborn Auburn team
held Wisconsin's running attack and
threw enough passes despite steady
rain to hold the Badgers to a TT tie
here today.
The Southerners completed only three
of IL passes, but two came in succession
in Wisconsin territory and were suf-
ficient to put them within scoring dis
lance of the goal. The Badgers had
been drilled against a pass of1ense, but
their line failed to furnish the drive
that was expected.
Both teams scored in the third period.
Joe Linfor, right halfback on the Bad
ger eleven, took the kickoff at the
start of the second half and ran 95
yards for a touchdown. Kabat kicked
the extra point from placement.
With the period nearly over, Auburn
came back with an air attack and
Hitchcock caught pass from Willis
Phipps that was good for II yards. An
other, Phipps to Porter Grand, end, put
the ball on the 6-yard line Jimmie
Hitchcock, right half, carried the ball
over for the touchdown and tied the
score with his kick.
