INTERESTING SKETCHES

Henry Goddard Leach, editor of
the Forum and recently elected pres
ident of the Poetry Society of Amer
lea, received much publicity when,
just after he had concluded an ed
itorial on crime, he was slugged and
robbed in Central park. His case
was by no means unique, however.
There have been many holdups in
the biggest open space in the heart
of Manhattan. A number of them
have never even come to the at
tention of the police, though in
some instances, injuries were in
fiicted and considerable sums lost.
The victims were unable to identify
their assailants, and considered
themselves lucky to get off as light
ly as they did. Others withheld
their reports because they feared
publicity. Residents In the vicin-
ity of the park hesitate to walk in
1t evenings, especially in the upper
reaches. There are pleasant walks
but there are also criminals, hood
lums and degenerates.

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Road Hog Represents a Very
Common Type of High
way Chiseler
GIVE HIM WIDE BERTH

According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council the road hog represents
a very common type of chiseler
He is guilty of selfishness that is
often disastrous 10 himself and
others. The road hog is a poten-
tial killer who either crashes into
other motorists or crowds them off
the road in their effort to avoid a
collision. There is plenty of room
on our highways today for every
motorist and every car, if drivers
will only play fair. The road hog
usually knows the rules of the
game as well as anybody, but be-
cause of selfish indifference or
thoughtlessness he ignores the
rights of others. It is no tribute to
him that he SO often escapes in
jury. His safety depends a great
deal on the ability Of others to get
out of his way. Until such time as
we succeed in putting the road hog
in Jail where he belongs the only
thing to do is to give him a wide
berth. He is so used to hogging
the road that it requires a hard
jolt to get him away from the idea
that the highway was constructed
especially for his use A contemp-
tible traffic chiseler is he who fails
to give child pedestrians the full
measure of consideration to which
they are entitled. Children live in
a strange world of make believe.
In the excitement of play the street
may be, for the moment, an en-
chanted castle or magic forest Or
an old Indian trail. The youngsters
move about in this enhancing
fairyland far removed from actual
ity, hearing nothing, seeing moth
ing and thinking only about their
world of youthful dreams. That is
why so many of them dart in front
of automobiles and get killed or,
through permanent injury, carry to
their graves the indelible scars of
momentary thoughtlessness. Little
children are almost entirely at the
mercy of the motorist. That's why
every child in the street should be
regarded as a human caution sign.
One can't be to careful when the
life of a child may be at stake. AL
though defective mechanical equip
ment is a factor in from ten to fif-
teen per cent of our motor vehicle
deaths, in nearly every case these
defects exist in antiquated cars or
are due to neglect in upkeep. Auto
mobile manufacturers have gone
far in making their products fool
proof. Modern autos haven't any

"When the Aswan dam was built

about 1882, great tempest

west shores of the Netherlands,

adds, many villages. Combining
with Lake Flevo, the waters formed
a large inland sea, the Zuider Zee.
An immense reclamation project,
