PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
(By John j. Jaster, jr.)

Pedestrians are often the first to
cry out against the careless driver.
So many seem to get the idea that
they-because they are walking
are somehow sort of traffic law
unto themselves.
This attitude needs readjustment.
A careless pedestrian is as guilty as
any careless driver. Moreover, a
careless pedestrian frequently
brings tragedy to a careful driver,
and is just as guilty in his way as
the drunken or the hit-skip motor
ist.
Pedestrian violations of traffic
laws and pedestrian carelessness in
the street are common practices.
Highway, urban or rural, cannot be
made even measurably secure until
those who walk as well as those
who drive take to heart the lessons
of safety.
A large percentage Of traffic acci-
dents involving driver and Pc
destrian is traceable not to the driv-
er but to the pedestrian. A pedes-
trian frequently involves himself in
an accident by crossing against red
traffic lights; dashing into crowded
streets from behind parked cars;
stopping to chat in the middle of
the street or highway; hesitating in
mid-stream and then turning back;
crossing in lnid-block instead of at
the intersection; hurrying reckless
ly through maze of traffic in an at

Phantom Organ

The odd thing about the two new
electric pipe organs installed recent
ly by NBC in it's Rockefeller Center
Studios is that they have no pipes
and are not strictly speaking, or
gans at all.
The organist seems to be playing
music, but he isn't. He is simply
pressing switches which create elec-
trical vibrations. He himself could
not hear what he plays if it were not
for a loudspeaker. Yet listeners at
receiving sets in Chicago or San
Francisco could enjoy his organ con-
cert,
The secret is that the keyboard OF
the organ is really series of
switches which actuate "tone
wheels These create vibrations
which are fed directly into loud
speaker and are there transformed
into sound waves. The strange in
strument can reproduce the tone
quality of a flute, trumpet, oboe,
violin, or any musical instrument
ever made.

Describing this trait of the ia

when everything his father owned
went up in smoke, except his small,
ancient laboratory, involving a loss
of 100000, he called his wife
and friends to witness "a gorgeous
sight" He then called the execu-
tives together and started clearing
the wreckage while some buildings
were still afire.
dauntless courage, Edison had
warned would be required in COM

preston he had long foreseen.

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER

The extreme cold weather has af-
fected the termination qualities OF
seed corn in Ohio, according to a
warning issued by Director Earl II.
Hanefeld of the state department OF
agriculture Tests of seed corn
from various sections of the state
show that the moisture which was
prevalent in a large percentage or
corn last fall has frozen and thawed
alternately to the point where the
kernels in many instances are sub
ject to mould and consequently GER
inmate poorly or not at all, Director
Hanefeld said. He cautioned all
farmers to take the precaution this
year of testing all seed corn for
termination, a process with which
all farmers are familiar. In cases
where the seed corn was selected
last fall and well stored with ade-
quate ventilation it will very likely
test well up to standard, but much
of Ohio's seed corn will measure far
from par in termination properties,
Director Hanefeld asserted.
As a result of the recent deaths
of Hugh Addison chief of the di-
vision of securities of the state de-
partment of commerce, and t. S.
Brindle, state director of public
works, three shifts in state employe
personnel were made last week by
Governor Martin L. Davey. B.
Frank Thomas of Youngstown, state
purchasing agent, was named new
chief of the securities division; Carl
G. Wahl Of Defiance, assistant high
way director, became director of
public works, and Glenn A. Horn Of
Holmes county, assistant state pur-
chasing agent.
A decline in public school enroll
ment in Ohio during 1895, was
noted in attendance figures released
by DR.. E. L. Bowsher, state direc-
tor of education. He reported that
there was a decrease of 4,104 pu-
pills, which was attributed to a de-
clining birth rate and to less immi-
grafton. Since 1924 Ohio's birth
rate decreased from 212 per 1000
population to IA in 1885, it was
said.

ONLY CURVES ARE GOING TO
 STOP YANKEES

ARCADIA, Dec. 16.-Fat Freddie Simmons, who shoves his knuckle ball up to the plate for the New York Giants, says you can't throw fast balls at the New York Yam kees, world champions. and sleep well that night.
 "Theyre all fast ball hitters You've got to outsmart them, curve them out of there" Fred says, re- calling that he lost bitter 2-l decision to the Yankees in the third game of the World Series and then was knocked out of the box in the sixth and last game.
 Fitzsimmons says he thought he would be all right when he started the sixth game, but found he had mt had enough rest.
 "A curve ball pitcher like me needs more than two days rest, " he asserts. "A fast ball pitcher could have gotten by, since tie strain is not so great on the arm"
 He says there is no difference between a World Series game and a regular league game-you're working hard all the time
 They're all tough in the Liz leagues" Freddie declares. "Th. 250 hitters and the .320 hitters. You've got to work hard on every batter"

Freak Is Shown
 at Field Muesum

CHICAGO, Dec. 16 = An animal which can live for years without eating is on exhibition at the Field Museuf. It is the olm, one of the three known species of cave sala- manders.
 Found only in the deep, light less caves of Europe, the creature has a snakelight body about foot long. Its four legs are set widely apart and are almost useless. This doesn't bother the elm, for it is one of the most sluggish creatures ever known, spending most of it's life lying motionleSS upon a rocky ledge, or among the stones at the bottom of a stream. With the exception of it's gills, which are red, the olm is perfectly white, but if exposed to the sun will turn jet black. The eyes, since it does not need them, have degenrated and are complete ly hidden under the skin
