pants and pull him back to the curb" The
children howled with delight; the lesson got
across.
When the famous Harry Houdini came to
Cleveland for vaudeville appearance, Roth
boldly asked him to explain few sleight-of-
hand tricks. Houdini was delighted to help
Roth has big thick fingers; he had to practice
for six months. He would then appear before
his young audiences with, say, three bright
red balls between his fingers.
How many do you see?" he would ask.
"Three!'
Roth would change the three to two "How
many?"
Two" with some confusion)

Roth had no appropriation but he went
boldly ahead. He found deserted farmhouse
in an outlying park. Its windows were broken,
the roof leaked and the cellar was full of
water, but he saw possibilities in it.
His fellow policemen gave him $780, A
dealer donated cement for a new foundation
and a swimming pool. Roth reinforced the
pool with iron girders taken from old police
cell blocks! He got part of his labor from the
W.P.A. Companies clubs and citizens pitched
in to help. Even Clevelands bookies unknow-
ingly did their bit - chairs from their raided

witnesses.
Results began to show. Certain intersec-
tons, for example, were hazardous and the
accidents there much alike. Roth's records
showed where the trouble was. A signal should
be relocated, new lanes drawn, an officer put
on duty -
Roth was convinced that many accidents
were caused by drunken or negligent drivers
who should be brought to account. In those
days, however, proving such a thing legally
was thought to be practically impossible.
Accidents happened too fast. There were often
no witnesses. His associates just laughed, but
Roth went ahead.

Pioneer Cose

k1E FOUND a good test case. A drunken
driver had plowed through fence. A man
had been killed. After great effort Roth
found one witness. He made careful sketches,
took measurements, noted facts. Nobody
thought Roth could make his evidence stick
in court and it was tense moment when the
jury retired. Roth fumbled with his hat ner-

Guilty of manslaughter.
as charged
Roth had won. Drivers
of automobiles could be
proved responsible. Cleve-
land soon had a dozen
men investigating. This
was the beginning of the
thorough accident-report-
ing systems now used in
most American cities.
Making school children
safety-wise was a huge
job. Roth's English was
not too polished and, be-
ing a bachelor, he hadn't
even the average fathers
knowledge of child psy-
chology. But these kids
had to learn safety. Roth
began talking to them -
he was a complete flop.
1t didn't discourage
him. He could draw a lit
tie, so he made up lantern
slides showing the right
way to cross streets. He
peopled the slides with
popular comic-strip char
acters. They were a huge
success.
Next he borrowed a
trained shepherd dog from
a theatrical performer and
enlisted him in the cause:
in school auditoriums
Roth would set up a min

mark out streets on the
stage with chalk. The dog,
Silver King, was trained
to go" with the green
light and stop" with the
red. AS a climax Roth
would have a child cross a

Cost the City Nothing

oDAY the camp is complete. Hundreds of
children attended it last summer, swimming,
hiking, talking safety and their responsible
ties to the community. This camp, built with
out one cent from Cleveland's budget, would
cost $4,000 to duplicate. Roth built it, with
community help, for about fifth of that
figure.
Roth's pioneering in safety was done in
much the same way, without money or en-
couragement, but it has paid rich dividends.
He did yeoman work in making Cleveland the
first city to put safety studies in the curricu-
lum broadcast safety lessons to schools, and
adopt high-school driver-training courses

Hundreds Witness Last
Rites for DOvie Ward,
Church & Civic Worker

The death on last Saturday
morning, Aug. %, of Mrs. DOvie
Ward, 1897 Fourth avenue south,
Minneapolis, from injuries suffered
in an auto accident shocked this
community.
Mrs. Ward died on the operating
table of Baldwin, Wis, hospital
just as surgeons completed setting
her right arm which had been
broken in three places.
Her death was unexpected de-
spite the injuries which she re-
ceived early Aug. 18 when the auto
in which she and her husband,
James w. Ward, were riding was
smashed in a head-on collision a
few miles from Baldwin. A pas
senger in the machine which struck
the Ward auto died Tuesday.
James Ward, the husband, suf-
fered injuries and cuts on his arm
and legs. Both he and Mrs. Bertha
Turner, Mrs. Wards mother, were
grief stricken.

The great grief and shock at her
death was noticeable Sunday morn

Squire Neal
Is UnfOunded

A rumor which spread like wild
fire last week and still going strong
had it that W. Squire Neal, the
funeral director who is serving a
Federal sentence at Sandstone,
Mimi, had lost his mind and was
confined to the Rochester, Mimi,
state institution for the mentally
deranged.
Investigation by this paper
proved the rumor absolutely with
out foundation. Neal was visited
at Sandstone by Fred Andersen, an
accountant, and his attorney on
Tuesday.
Not only is Neal in good health,
but it is expected that he will be
released during the first week in
December.
