Prof. Knee-Hi ReIaxes
on Seesaw After
Safety Lesson
Gives Demonstration
For Several Hundred
School Children

Like all great thinkers, Prof.
Knee-Hi, the stars traffc-wise
terrier, enjoys bit of frivolous
sport after hard day of BRAIN
work.
So yesterday afternoon she gave a
zip Of relief and a zip of anticipa-
ton, and hoped on seesaw for
a recess period of up and down.
The boys and girls in Mrs. Kathryn
Kerwin's first-grade class at the
Henry School enjoyed taking turns
on the other end of the board.
The terrier had just finished
demonstrating her intellect to sew
eral hundred children from the
Polk and Henry Schools and the
Immaculate Conception Academy,
! gathered on the busy corner of
Seventh and F streets NV. Knee
Hi had been mailing it perfectly
plain that she considers nothing to
be more important than obeying
safety principles on the streets.
Chases Boys With Football.
In her Judgment. Knee -Hi-con-
veying her message by barks, gentle
nips and personal example-one
must never play fotball in the
streets, hang on the rear of street
cars or jaywalk. When four boys
did take a fotball into the inter-
section, she gave a scandalized ART,
arf!" and chased them half block
to the playground.
That is where playing should be
done, according to Knee-Hi. But
even there one must take care to be
safe. For instance, when she took
to teeter- tottering for relaxation
after the demonstration, she made
sure that her feet were not hang
ing under the board where they
could be pinched, insisted that only
two at time use the seesaW and
kept firm grasp upon the hand
bar with one paw.
Today's Schedule.
Later, Knee-Hi gave an indoor
demonstration at the Abbott Voca-
tional School. Today she was to
perform for the Emery School at
North Capitol and r streets at 1:30
pm, the Langley Junior High
School in the auditorium at 2:15
pm. and the Stuart Junior High
School in the auditorium at II so
am. and 1890 pm.
Here's little poem which was
used for the first time by Announcer
Bin Tobln in Yesterdays perform

who is fan of Knee-Hi's.
