Much has been broadcast about safety for children on the road, so this is addressed particularly to those who think that nothing can happen to THEM or THEIR fam lilies, although they may not heed.
 Last nights paper gave an &C., count of might" death. The child was walking on the road and the driver said he couldn't see, because the lights of an oncoming car blinded him. know that every one who read that, shivered. Every decent driver sits tensely at his wheel at night, or even in the twi- light, because he never knows when, around curve or over the brow of a hill, he will suddenly meet ped eStrian. If there is no curve or no rise, another car with lamps shin- ing in his eyes, pulls blank over vision quite as effectively.
 This summer, we, who drive as carefully as anyone could, have had shock after shock of this kind. One night we met 8 whole family, father, mother, and four little chil- dren, all strung out on the road outside a small town. They never will know how close they came to death; that they were entirely in- visible to us until we were within forty feet of them. On the other lane were dozens of approaching cars, and to have swerved, even if there had been time, would have been Shambles.
 Misleading Signs
 How we saved them, do not know. They did not so much as step one foot out of the way. Fac ing us, they could see us come, but either they did not know the dan- ger, or were misled by signs all through the district, which said, walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic." Inside of five min- uteS, we met another group, three boys, arm-in-arm, happily oblivious to death. This is why I think the natives of that stretch of country were pinning their hope of long life on those signs.
 The signs are all right. It is safer to face traflc than to turn ones back, of course. But the wording is too assuring. A line should be added to walk beside the road, not on it, after dark. The day will come, and should be here, when sidewalks flank all roads. Most roads have level, hard shoulders" which provide average footing, ex- cept in wet weather; but the tenp- tation is to keep to concrete.
 Pedestrians Rights Abridged
 am not roofing for the motor .ist. Pedestrians have too few rights. But it is worse than defy ing lightning or artillery, to dis regard the only life one has for the sake of principle. !
 After the sun goes down, al dusk as well as in the deeper dark, no driver is better than half-a-driver when the lights o1 approaching cars shine in his eyes All should "dip" their beams, but here we have the lazy ones who let you do all the dimming while they go murderously on theil way.
 So I urge every parent to tel children to double their caution

 Ten million people are injured in accidents each year in this country. A hundred thousand are killed, and s70,O00 permanently crippled. Most of the serious accidents occur on the highways, but many happen also in homes and workshops.
 Of accidents that occur in the home, 70 per cent are falls; then come burns, scalds and explosions. Others are due to asphyxiation or strangulation; and finally, there are all the cuts, scratches, and bruises with which most of us are familiar.
 The cost of these accidents, most of which are preventable, is tre- mendous. Indeer, the wage loss, medical expense, and overhead in- surance due to injuries in 1884 are estimated at more than two and one-han billion dollars.
 of course, prevention is much better than cure. Many falls may be prevented by a reasonable amount of care. They are most se- rious to older people.
 For example, 77 per cent of the falls, in which the victims were

HOW UNDER THE SUN CAN
 VnTrR RARY GET RTCKETS? 5

HOW UNDER THE SUN CAN :
 YOUR BABY GET REGRETS?
 The name rickEts is 8 corruption Of the Greek rlaachitis meaning tEi- flammation of the spine. Rickets Is tlle usual cause of the spinal de- formity commonly called hump back, as well as other deformities of the spine, the legs, feet, chest and head. '
 A baby does not get Tickets under the sun. The child gets rickets be- cause he is not allowed to have his place in the sun. Rickets comes to those who live under roofs, under cover, under superfuous clothing, under smoke, under fog. under darkness. Authorities Investigating the matter in 1924-26 found that more than 90 per cent of all chil- dren in cities showed some signs of rickets (if not clinical, at least x-ray evidence of rachitic changes) and predicted that rickets would disappear within the next ten years. This prophecy was not fulfilled; al- though rickets is fast fading from our ken.
 If every infant could have fair start-that Is, if the baby's mother received an adequate ration of vita min D throughout pregnancy and then the baby could have daily ration of vitamin D in one form or another, there would be no rickets. But, alas, such new knowledge is dificult to impart to the, general public. It takes from ten to twenty years of constant hammering on the popular mind to inculcate new med ical principles and longer If it is a preventive principle.
 The ultraviolet rays of sunlight Cor arc lamp or mercury vapor quartz lamp) convert certain sub- stances found in foods and in the human skin into vitamin D-change sterol into viosterol. This viosterol (practically vitanlin D) is carried through the blood from the skin to the tissues of the body. Direct sun- shine, then, is the preventive and cure for rickets.

EAGLES OPPOSE
HORNETS SUNDAY

New Haven, Nov. l2.-The Eagles
come home from their first invasion
Of the western division of the new
International american league on
Sunday night to oppose the strong
Pittsburg Hornets on the ice at the
Arena here--a tough schedule but
one that Manager Normie Hines
figures is just right to get his
charges primed for the long season
ahead. '"'
The Eagles had a game scheduled
at Pittsburg on Wednesday night
and then headed for Cleveland
where on Saturday night they will
shoot goals at o former New Ha-
ven twine minder, Maury Roberts,
known to the western fans as
"Moanin' Moe.
"This shapes up as a pretty stiff
assignment for a manipulating on
Saturday night In Cleveland and
then making that long hop home
for q game Sunday night" Hines
said, "but team needs work. We
had q shorter training period than
most of the other squads and this
heavy play at the start should be to
our benefit rather than a detri-
ment."
The opening game In New Haven
last Sunday night, despite n heavy
rain, was q complete sell-out.
