Harper's superb flinging, coupled with one outburst of stickwork by the Hugmen, set the Tigers down with a 4 to 2 defeat and back into first place rode the Yankees. Close to 12,000 looked on in fear and trembling that the Hugmen might blow up again as they did in the second game of the series on Monday, and the affair was close enough to keep the fans from breathing normally until Bobby Jones fouled to Mike McNally for the third out in the ninth inning as the dan- gerous Cobb stood near by, swinging three bats in his menacing way.

TRAFFIC PROBLEMS BAD IN NEW YORK Merchants Complain About One-Way Streets and Signals Are Now Being Tried New York, Sept. 21.—Again they're tinkering with New York's traffic. 'The police department long has been unable to dodge the law of physics that two objects can't occupy the same space at the same minute. And with the number of automobiles increasing daily and the crowd of pedestrians hold- ing its own, the traffic problem is be- coming worse. In the old days, traffic went up and down Broadway much the same way it does in any Main street the country over—though with the same hectic con- fusion that reigns in the subways be- neath the world-famous thoroughfare. But a little while ago it was de- cided that at night, at hours when most theatergoers were bound up Manhat- tan to their homes, Broadway between 38th and 57th streets should become a one-way street. Now that plan has been abandoned. Merchants have complained that the northbound nightly traffic was diverting to other thoroughfares business which should come to them. So Special Deputy Police Commis- sioner Harris has ruled that for a 30- day period two-way traffic shall be re- stored-—to be regulated by signal tow- ers such as have been operating for many months on Fifth avenue Signal lamps atop these towers command traf- fic all along Fifth avenue to halt or proceed at the same moment. If a cou- ple of experimental towers work out all right on Broadway, the city will be ask- ed to install more. New York Shore Resort Is Now All- Year-Round Community Long Beach, N. Y., Sept, 21.—Loug Beach, that scoshore resort selected by writs « of musical comedies whenaver an American Ostend is desired for a scene, now has become an all-round- the-year community. The bathing girls will not be playing on the sands, but safely tucked away from the breakers will be many sum- mer residents who have put up sub- stantial houses. The largest hotel has announced it will remain open ali win- ter, and if the majority of the summer residents remain, the village will have enough population to become a thira- class city. High rents in New York are believ- ed to have influenced many folks to re- main through the winter, CONSOLIDATED PLAN, Washington, Sept. 21.—A plan for consolidating the various scientific bureaus of the government under the Smithsonian Institution has been pre- asented to the joint committee on re- onzanization of the government de- partments by Arthur McDonald, scien- tist. The primary object of his plan, Mr. McDonald explained, is to have scientific activity of the government developed to its highest possible ef- ficiency, and with this end in view to correct what he termed the illogical arrangement of the present bureaus and to reduce political influgnce to a minimum.

L S e B S Wonder What She Thinks About When He Reads the Paper? YOUNGSTERS ARE ACCIDENT VICTIMS One in Three KiMled Is Unde 20 Years of Age ——— Hartford, Sept. 21.—~More than one out of every three parsons killed by automobiles in Connes ticut is under 20 years old. Practically two out of every three of these are:children under 10 years old. Approxii nately 28 per cent. of all persons killed by auto- mobiles are under 15 yea rs old. Thesq figures were given wvut jtoday at the motor vehicle department as part of the Safety First effort 10 show the need for the exercise ot |greater care by parents, as these littleé victims are mor dependent on the cai‘h of others than themselves. It is shown by records 4>f:the state department of health tha\' 'the per- centage of automobile fataMjtles amons children under 20 years oNl, as com- pared with the number of {undividuals exposed, is tremendous. Iti!s for this reason that considerable of ‘the effort of Safety First week is bel ng spent to supply by teaching and s pervision the lack of experience of chiMren. Out of 1,267 people killed | by auto- mobiles in Connecticut in | thirteen years, 296 were under 10 y{ars old, 164 were between 10 and 20;’ 189 be- tween 20 and 30; 168 between' B0 and 40; 124 between 40 and 50; 128 be- tween 50 and 60; 101 between €0 and 70; 65 between 7 0and 80; 14 by>tween 80 and 90; two between 90 aid 100 and five were of undertermined ages. People between 20 and 70 yea s old are classified in the motor vehicl ® de- partment as the adults or experit nced group, and the fact that the prapor- tion of accidental deaths to the itotal number such adults using the str eets and highways is much smaller tha n in other groups, is taken to indicate ‘that “experience in taking care” is a 13 nge factor for reduction. ‘As the individ ual grows older and more experienced. he becomes more careful and less apt %o be killed. This being the experiensed group, teaching is no longer possile in the school sense of the term, hut betterment in this group must be si>= cured through its own efforts. Sedt- teaching, realization of responsibilitiq 3, so far as the individual is concernel 1 and severe and just discipline througl: courts and police agencies are called! for. People between 70 and 100 years old are grouped in the motor vehicle: department as the class in which phy- sical disabilities arc most numerous, including the aged and infirm to an extent where declining health enters to make the faculties less active. Supervision and advice by third per- sons is considered necessary for many in this group, calling for care by the “natural guardians” of such persons. Authorities agree that if education on this subjest starts with a child. in its infancy and is adapted and keeps pace with its gradually increasing knowledge and experience, then it is fair to expect immediate results to some degree. In the course of time these will become definite and perman- nent and there is bound to be a prob- able final success in elimination of a percentage of accidents until a mini- mum is reached.
