1t Took Goats To
Get Sheriff's Goat

1t took two live billy goats to
get Sheriff Clarence E. Meery's
goat" While speeding down one of
the thoroughfares of Wahedo town.
ship near Hackensack, the sheriff
sighted large billy goat meander-
ing on the road. Fearful the ami
NAL might leap into the path of
the car, Sheriff Merry slackened
his speed and succeeded in pass
ing the goat.
No sooner had this happened
when another similar animal APP
peared in the road, directly in the
path of the sheriff's car. Unavoid-
ably the goat was hit. Sheriff
Meery stopped his car and ap-
preached the farm house where he
planned to pay for the goat he
ostensibly killed. Here he found
both goats eating grass in the farm
yard. 1t seems that neither the
car nor goat were damaged.

A letter is a very easy thing to write,
but it is equally easy to say: I'll

Knee-Hi Converts
Another Pedestrian
To Traffic Safety
Little Dog Shows Proper
Way to Cross Street
Despite Second Terrier

washington has a new convert to
traffic safety today as the direct
result of a demonstration by Knee
Hi of the proper way to cross streets.
After seeing the little white fox
terrier show the proper way to
cross streets during late afternoon
traffic on Connecticut avenue, the
unidentified pedestrian said: From
now on I am going to follow Knee
His lessons. I used to cross streets
like an old lady-no more of that
for me. If Knee-Hi can learn the
rules of safe traffic conduct, so can
l." --,,..
The pedestrian was one of several
thousand who witnessed the demon
stration at Connecticut avenue and
l. street NV. late yesterday as
office crowds started homeward.
Massed six and eight deep on all
four corners, the spectators saw, the
little terrier cross the broad avenue
only on the proper signal from the
traffic officer despite coaxing from
her trainer, DR.. George E. Brun-
son.
Knee-Hi Joins Convention.
Knee-Hi gave the demonstration
at one Of the city's busiest corners
during peak traffic load. She had
been called to the Mayflower Hotel
to join the 37th annual convention
Of the American Automobile AS
sociation to show the visiting dele
gates her rules of safety. AS the
corner demonstration got under way
the delegates were soon lost in the
massing of pedestrians who wanted
to see The Star-sponsored terrier
In action.
Through the cooperation of the
Metropolitan Police Department,
eight officers under the direction of
Sergt. Thomas T. Heffernan kept
motor traffic swirling about Knee Hi
as they fastened motorist on their
way. However, the heavy volume of
vehicle and pedestrian traffic did not
distort the little dog as she obeyed
each signal and properly crossed all
four corners.
Another Terrier Appears.
An additional note of confusion
was added when another terrier ar
rived in the midst of Knee-Hi's
demonstration. The friendly, bark
ing fellow canine, however, did not
disturb the little dog and the demon
stration continued without a balk.
When the terrier was presented
to the A. A. A. delegates inside the
hotel she was greeted with applause,
since her fame has become nation
wide. At the conclusion of a brief
demonstration of obedience. Knee
