CINCINNATI CLUB

Rockies Are Picked Up All

v jr., millionaire owner Of the
Cincinnati ball club, has
poured 100000 into minor league
Golfers for players he hopes can lift
his hapless Reds out of the mire OF
the National League.
To show that he meant business

control on February last year.
The result is, "a rockies, most of
them plucked from the country's
three class AA minor leagues-the
Pacific Coast, International and
American Association-will battle for
regular berths when the Reds begin
training in Florida late this month.
This years club will be the young
est and greenest in the league, but
both Crosley and Business Manager
Larry McPhail believe that once 1t

shakes of its stage fright, it will be
powerful enough to blast its way into
the first division-if not this year,
then next.

Coin Only for Players.
THE 100000 figure is for players
alone and does not include
approximately 100000 more
which the Reds have invested in
minor league holdings.
Some Of the more important Redleg
freshmen are Johnny Mize, first base
man from Rochester, for whom Crosley
coolly paid $4,000; Alex Kampouris,
second sacker from Sacramento, and
Lew Riggs, third sacker, and Bill
Myers, shortstop, who played side by
side on the pennant- winning Columbus
team Of the American Association last
year.
Goodman, an outfielder, also from
Rochester, is counted on to land a
regular berth. as is Hermann, big
pitcher who won 81 and lost l3 games
for the San Francisco Seals in 1884.

COURTESY IS VITAL
TO INSURE SAFETY
Human Nature at Supreme
Test When Placed at
Wheel of Auto.
BY FLOYD SWIGGETT, JR.

Rapidly approaching busy wash
ington intersection, two shining auto
mobiles slithered to sudden stop, the
cleaning black snout of the limousine
only few inches from the bright
chromium hub cap of long roadster.
Followed momentary silence.
Both cars were operated by distin-
guished appearing gentlemen of ma
ture years. Passively interested, as
much in the beauty of both new model
machines as the by no means unusual
traffic mix-up, we tarried for mo-
ment. No undignified squabble was to
be expected here. A courteous nod,
perhaps. and orderly departure. 10
our stunned surprise. there ensued a
chorus Of polychromatic profanity that
would have excited the sincere admi-
ration of Marine. We left before we
could be involved in the fracas that
seemed imminent.
In Washington, as elsewhere, human
nature seems to change when behind
the wheel. A mild-mannered indi-
vidual becomes an intolerant tyrant
when he controls the power of many
horses by the pressure of his foot. A
timid spinster acquires an acid cour-
age. One who would never say a dis
courteous or Yndiplomatic word else
where will mouth invectives when held
up a fraction of a second at a green
light by a tardy pedestrian. An era
OF throbbing motors is producing, as
a by-product, a race Of nervous, i'm
patient terrible tempered Mr.. Bangs"
CareIessness Blamed.
OF this impatience, largely, our
appalling highway death toll is born.
Recently Washington police and
safety organizations, in series of
broadcasts to promote highway safety,
stated that majority of accidents
were caused by ordinary needless
driving. Ranging from minor careless
ness to criminal recklessness: disre-
gard for the other fellow, indiffer-
ence to the rights of others and plain
buc -headedness are making business
brisk for the morticians And, oh,
how much suffering and eternal sor-
row are the result!

needs to adjust itself to the machine
age. For in human nature alone we
find the final answer. Actions of
police. thousands of deaths, revoked
drivers permits, imprisonment and
fines, torture and suffering, all have
been made necessary solely because
We abandon the courtesy of every
day life when We crawl behind the
steering wheel. Courtesy, oonsidera-
ton, humaneness-all ages old-carry
the solution to problem that has
proved all drastic measures tried SO
far to be inadequate.
Two Glasses Unsafe.
In the Capital City it is becoming
evident that there are certain classes
Of individuals who naturally cannot
drive safely. Others can but will not.
Elimination of the former from the
roads is called for-and training for
the others has been suggested. The
first class Is hopeless. The second
really holds the answer, by their in
dividual actions, their individual sense
of human values.
With the dawn of a new courtesy,

I'VE are seeking to inculcate safety
habits in the school children so that
their compliance with the best safety
practices will become automatic. For
this reason we are glad to have the
opportunity of joining with The Star

paign.'
A large part of the October session
of the Parent Teacher Institute. one
of six to be held this season In the
National Education Association Build
ing, was devoted to consideration of
The Star safety campaign and its
relationship to the work of the cong
ress. The institute opened with the
singing of the Safety Song, written
by William B. Severe of the Mac
cabees and dedicated to The Star
Council. The singing was led by Mrs.
Jones. Pledge cards were signed at
that meeting by majority of the Of
ficers and delegates and similar
procedure will be followed at the Sec
ond institute, to be held November
IA at the N. E. A. Building.
Among the parent-teacher associ-
ations which already have joined with
The Star Council in its campaign are
those of the Barnard. S. J. Bowen and
Greenleaf. L. G. Hine Junior High,
Horace Mann and Stuart Junior High
Schools.
WheatIey Group First.
The Wheatley School Parents
Safety Council was the first of the
local public school organizations to
join in the campaign. The District
public school system, under the per-
sonal leadership of DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools,
came into the campaign on the OPEN
ing day of the present school session
and hundreds of school officials and
teachers have signed safe-driving
pledges and returned them to The
Star Council. as all organizations are
requested to do.
The Roosevelt High School Student
Council also has enrolled itself in
the campaign and now is engaged
in pledging all Roosevelt High School
students who drive cars to obey the
primary safe-driving rules. The
Margaret Murray Washington Voca-
tional School, the Abbot ocational
School and the Americanization
School also have joined the campaign
independently.
Many civic and business organiza-
tions which have joined The Star
campaign as units now are returning
signed pledge cards representing those
IN the organizations who are willing
to cooperate in the fight to curtail
traffic killings and maimings.
Among those received today were
