 Police are slipping a new type of traffic ticket to careless pedestrians, and 1t carries $l penalty, just like auto traffic tickets. The result in more orderly downtown traffic has been quickly felt.
 Jaywalkers who ignore traffic lights or cross crowded streets at other than designated crosswalks are handed the new traffic tickets. Each must put up $1 bond. This they may forfeit if they prefer not to go to court to fight tn echarge. Thus

We'll perhaps we will give Dr. Van Loon the argument in regard to professional cooks since the story of famous chefs is history in itself.

No. Sands should recover. Libel is a malicious, written defamation of any person, a writing that tends to expose him to public hatred, contempt or ridicule, that deprives him of the benefits of public con- fidence. Smith obviously sent the letter to hurt, not to help Sands. If Voss believed about Sands the revolting things Smith intended, that belief would be a false one, gathered from the intentional act of Smith. Certainly Smiths conduct deprived Sands of the benefits of public confidence and exposed him to the hatred and contempt of VoSS.

A MODEL

ATLANTA - Attractive models and a high school professor are helping some of Atlanta's bashful boys overcome their awe of girls.
 The models usually are high school students Spectators are boys, 15 to 20 years old, who are members of the Everyday Liv- ing class at Commercial High School, taught by 28-year-old Pro- lessor Dean E. Dreyer. The class, open to all three grades of the high school, has an enrolment of 30 boys, mostly juniors and seniors. It is held daily.
 In one part Of ohe course the model stands on stool in front of the class clad in a bathing suit. The teacher and one or two of the boys drape her in yards of sheer material to bring out the figure. Sometimes both boys and girls are used for the demonstration.
 me Effect IS VnUitSoiuC
 "The effect is astonishingly wholesome, says Dreyer,
 We make no attempt to hedge or coerse the students in their re- actions. Invariably the boys enter into the spirit of the study in an eager, intelligent attitude an q leave the classroom with a feeling that bugaboo has been lifted from their minds"
 Convinced that grabbing in the dark for marriage partner is risky business and may end in di- vorce, Dreyer, who is unmarried, discussed the subject with Dr Will lis A. Sutton, city school superin- tendent. The Everyday Living class resulted
 The first problem Dreyer en- countered was what he calls "an age-worn barrier to wholesome as sociation between the sexes"
 He breaks this down by frank, informal talks, easy-to- o-understand lessons on eugenics, and down to the earth" classroom demon strations.
 The boys study the art of being good onversationalists the kind of clothes to wear for formal din- ner, and how to dance.
 We try not to skip anything, " says the professor. One of the boys may want to use the street car to take his girl friend out. If he does, he knows exactly the cor rect etiquette and can be just as much cultured gentleman on the street car as if he were in a taxi cab or limousine.
 Naturally" he points out, the girls have an opportunity to do a little looking over on their own account Therefore both sexes are much better situated to make in- telligent happy choices of their life partners"
