Tracewell Commended for
Pedestrian Safety Advice
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your issue of the oath, Mr.. Charles
E. Tracewell, in his daily This and
That" discusses in a highly intelligent
way how pedestrians may avoid automo-
bile accidents. This is a matter which
seriously concerns the public Of the
entire country and have never read
anything which enters into the subject
so thoroughly and SO wisely. It may
have escaped the attention of many Of
your readers, but it is duty which they
owe to themselves to read 1t. He does
not overlook single point that has q
bearing on the distressing conditions
existing today. r. LAPPIN.

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
The Angler.

Give me a green. translucent pool,
A rod swung high in air,
The flies cast out in wide curve,
The trout caught unaware,
And any man may have his wishing
While I, a free man, go a-flshing.
Some men like golf, good old sport,
And some to hunt would ride,
Some like to sail the rolling deep,
To travel far and wide.
Each separate man may have his
wishing,
But like the saint 90 a-dshinS."

A Study in Birds.
The parrot is a gentle bird
Whose life is free from care.
The language which from him is hearc
He picks up here and there.
AS he sends forth on every hand
His gems of vocal art,
His auditors admiring stand
And say: rs he not smart?"
The Dove Of Peace, that noble bird,
Her duty will pursue.
Her thoughts are worthy to be heard,
But she can only COO.
And all uncertain is the way
She travels unprepared.
The parrots life is smooth and gay;
The Dove is always scared.

Oak Party. which is Lemke's. the
Socialists, etc.
The excess in registered voters for
the Republicans does not necessarily
mean victory for them on q large
scale. Their excess two years ago and
four years ago was much larger.
However, there seems no particular
reason this year for the New Dealers
not to register Democratic-particu-
larly those who are on relief or have
favors to ask. The Democrats have
done everything possible to dragon
the reliefers into registering Demo-
cratic.
In Philadelphia the registration is
944,6l4, the Republicans having
519,865 and the Democrats, 403 ISL;
non-partisan, 1850, and minority
parties 1888. This gives the Repub-
licans a lead in Philadelphia registra-
ton over the Democrats of 10000.
In national elections Pennsylvania
has voted Republican since 1856. when
the State cast its electoral for
James Buchanan, q Lancaster Demo-
crat. Today in a presidential election
the State is for the first time consid-
cred a battleground-except in 1912,
when the State went for Theodore
Roosevelt. who had been Republican
President.
Democratic leaders here continue to
claim the State by anywhere from
$4,000 to 250.000. But under all the
circumstances these claims seem fam
taStic.

lead of 233,815. Gov. Earle cam
paigned vigorously for this proposed
constitutional amendment.
This year there has been a tre-
mendous registration of voters, far in
excess of previous records. Much oi
this registration has been due to the
efforts of Republicans. 1t is rather
significant that the heaviest increases
in registration so far as Philadelphia is
concerned have been in the outlying
wards, which are strongly Republican.
The halt. the lame and the blind have
turned up with thousands of other
citizens to be registered. There is a
feeling abroad that the Republicanism
of the Keystone State is reasserting
itself.
An old lady, appearing at one of
the registration booths, was asked her
party designation.
Il am American" she replied.
When she was told that there was
no American party" she said firmly,
''every American this year is a Re-
publican"
Hoover Carried State.
Four years ago. Herbert Hoover car

ey tie Associated Fress.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October "a
Kentucky won't have delayed
count November to give the Nation
the filters in event the result OF the
presidential election hinges upon its
IL electoral votes.
Four years ago a new election law,
designed to prevent fraud, postponed
the start of the count until the next
day. The Legislature yielded this
year to general complaint that the
delay frayed the nerves of candi-
dates and voters alike. 1t retained,
however, the main feature of the law
that precinct officials deliver the tri-
padlocked metal boxes to the court
houses for tabulation under close
scrutiny of party watchers.
The amended law directs that the
county boards begin the count one
hour after the polls close at pm.
Modern roads now help speed elec-
tion returns in many mountain dis
tricts, but in some remote sections 1t
still is necessary to pack ballot boxes
mule back over trails to the county
Seat.
With a Statewide registration law
In effect for the first time, Democrats
and Republicans centered efforts on
qualifying as many voters as possible
before the deadline October 10. The
State does not compile registration
totals. Unofficial reports showed the
lineup: Democrats, 100000; Republi-
cans, 443,0O0; minor parties, 10000
President Roosevelt carried Kentucky
by a 185 1853 margin in 1882. In 1928
Herbert Hoover won Kentucky by l76,-

solid South in 1896 when it gave Nc

The campaign so far has been quiet
In contrast with campaigns of previous
years which were climaxed by election
day killings. Four years ago there were
six fatalities. The largest number OF
killings occurred in 1888 when Ken
tucky had three election days. Five
persons were killed at a mountain
school election. About 26 fatalities
that year were attributed to election
cuarrels.

"Haensel and Gretel," in abridged
opera form, will delight its young
audience by virtue of the exciting
adventures of HaenSel and Gretel
in the woods near their home and
at the gingerbread house OF the
old witch. The costumes, scenery
and singing carry out the fairy
tale atmosphere of the story and
make of it a finished production.
