Call An Armistice
On Traffic Deaths

This week the world celebrates
the signing OF the Armistice. Twen-
ty years ago on November 18th, the
nation went hysterical with Joy at
the news that peace at last had
closed bitter and bloody world
conflict.
Wars tragic waste OF life makes
us all shudder. Bat here Is some
thing that may surprise you: More
Americans died In traffic In the
past year and a half than were
killed In the World War, And. a
vehicle OF necessity, pleasure and
convenience, the automobile, was re-
sponsible for the killing, not bull
lets or bombs.
Yes, a traffic accident can be just
as cruel as war when II comes to
separating families, leaving chill
dren destitute or converting healthy
human beings into helpless inva-
lids.
This carnage CAN be stopped.
YOU can help to stop 1t.
The Police Department invites
you to help in the campaign for
safety ON the highways by resolv-
ing TO drive at safe speeds and
with consideration for others. obey
the traffic law and to walk ss.fely
in the proper place and with the
traffic signals.
Let us declare an armistice on
traffic accidents.

ARENA RING FOES.
Due TOMORROW.
TO END TRAINING
BY HOWARD JACOBS

With both rivals, Lew Feldman
and Norment Quarles, expected
here tomorrow to put in their final
licks, activities in the boxing game
in the District began to pick up
today.
The match, q natural for D. c.,
should open the indoor season at
Turner's Arena Monday night with
a bang, and a near-capacity gather
ing is anticipated. Betting has
been heavy, and though Feldman
rules a 6-to-5 choice at the present
it is likely he will enter the ring
and even-money wager with his
blond-thatched rival from North
Carolina.
CHANGE IN SEMINAL
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn, al
ways the optimistic one when it
comes to predicting the gate. an
nounced the change In his semi
final, securing Tommy Ricco, Cam
den lightweight, to replace Jiggs
Mcknight, of Cumberland, against
frankie Lembo over the six-round
route. The latter, claimant Of the
California lightweight champion
ship, will be making his second
local appearance, and figures to
come through after q tough battle.
And if he is victorious he will chal-
lenge the winner Of the headline
match. Thus bringing the chal-
lengeS to three, what with Petey
Sarron putting in bid No. l.; Pedro
Montanez coming through yester-
day, and now the Coast scrapper,
who eked out a victory over Calvin
Calp in sensational style two weeks
ago in the ball park.
Quarles is coming in from his
Richmond camp, while the Scotch
Jewish boy will pack his belong
ings and leave directly from Still
mans gymnasium in Gotham
right after an early morning work
out tomorrow. He Is due to arrive
mere about 6 in the evening.
81 ROUNDS OF BOXING
Thirty-two rounds of boxing will
be on the menu, and it's a spicy
dish that Ahearn is setting up.
Besides the aforementioned bouts
ne has Ell Brookman, Washington,
facing Nanny Weible, Baltimore;
Pancho Huerta, scrappy Mexican,
battling the same Calp in SixerS,
and frankie Martini against
Bobby Halligan, of Washington,
