Aug. 30. —S.vtpmatic class room work in safety education for every I child in the public schools is' Chicago's plan in the nation-wide campaign to cheek the mounting toll of accidental death and injury. , j A plan for schooling in accident pre vention. safety methods, and first aid ac tivities drawn by a committee appointed by Superintendent of Schools Peter A. Morten son wiil be put into practice in the elementary schools at the opening of , the Fall term. education through slogans and jingles, classroom games, themes, dram atization and debates is a part of the plan. In addition, an effort will be 1 made to relate accidents statistics with the students’ work in arithmetic, gram j.mar and geography, j •‘Experience in several cities has ; shown,” Mr. Morrison said, “that safety (education in the school has been the j most effective agency in reducing the | number of accidents lo children.” I The program approved for Chicago, | and believed to be more extensive than ■ any in use elsewhere was arranged by : principals in schools here, in co-opera ! tion with more than fifty agencies inter j csted in the aims of the undertaking. “It does not contemplate the addition of a school subject," Mr. Mortenson ex } plained, "biit rather the implication in | several subjects of concern for the safety of children.” Separate treatment of various classes of accidents in successive months is pro vided. September. October and Novem- 1 bor are given respectively to street dan-1 gers, fires and weapons; the next three i j months to burns and scalds, poisons and | asphyxiation, and electricity : and March |to June inclusive, to falls, railway ac | eidents. carelessness in play, and drown \ ing. The work under eaeli monthly , classification Will be graded to meet the ' requirements of the various ages be | tween the first and eighth grades. “From Sense training in the kinder garten to elaborate projects for study in the upper grades, there is opportunity, without, serious detriment to other wor thy subjects, to develop in the child at- ' titudes and habits of thought and action j that shall serve in the earlier stages to ; puotect him from harm, and in the later ] stages, help him to protect others from harm,” said Mr. Mortenson. * Old Should Not Shed Teeth.

Tubize Artificial Silk Company o( America, Hopewell Va S pJE ISLE OF RETRIBUTION Wt ' " By jßtJk EDISON MARSHALL _ ILLUSTRATED »y © LITTLE, BROWN 8 COMPAMy, l<? 23 BEGIN HERE TODAY Ned Cornet, son of wealthy God frey Cornet, drives his car home ward In the drizzling rain and goes into a skid, at a corner. A passing Jitney is damaged and Bess Gilbert, a shopgirl, on her way home. Is knocked to the pavement. Ned Promises a policeman that he will settle with all injured parties. The young lady is taken home In Corne t s oar. Ned tells his father of the accident. Godfrey Cornet re mind; his son that in his 29 years he Ji ß ’* never done a man-size job. The elder Cornet offers Ned two thousand silk and velvet gowns to take to Northern Canada and Alaska to exchange with the Indians for line furs. Godfrey offers to split the profits 75-25. the lion’s share to Ned. . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Almost trembling in his eagerness, the old man waited for his son’s re i'iy. The latter took out a cigaret, lighted it", and gazed meditatively through the smoke. "Fifty thou sand!” he whispered greedily. "And I suppose I could stand the hard sfllp." ' , Then he looked up, faintly smiling. “I'U gq, if Lenore will let me,” he pronounced at last. 11l TIE «xact moment that her r.ame was on Ned’s lips, Lenore Har ' d ir-vorth herself, in her apart ment in a region of fashionable apart ments eight blocks from the Cornet home was also wondering at the perverse ways of parents. It was strange how their selfish interests could disarrange one’s happiest plans. All in all, Lenor® was in a wretched mood, savagely angry at the world in general and her mother in particular. It was .'.he way of the old, Lenore reflected, to give to a much of their thought t»nd interest to their own , fancied ills. Not even a daughter's I brilliant career could stand between. And who would have guessed that tbs “nervousness” her mother had complained of so long, pandered to by a fashionable quack and nursed like a baby by the woman herself, should tver lead to uuch disquieting results. The doctor had recommended a sea voyage to the’woman, and the old fool had taken him at his word. If wap not that Lenore felt she could n-it spwre, for some months, her mother’s guiding influence. It was merely that sea voyages cost money, and m«ney, at that particu lar time, was scarce and growing scarcer abou* the Hardenworth apartment. Sseemingly the only course .hat remained was to move forwp.jl&'d'he da’i.e of her marriage to Ne<S. at present set for the following spring. She -fried he* eyes, powdered her nose; end for all the late storm made a bewitching picture as she tripped to the door in answer to her fiance’s knock. Lenore Hardenworth was in all probability the most beautiful girl in her own stylish set and one of the most handsome women in her native city. She was really well known, remembered long and in manyplaces, fer her hair. It was simply shim mering gold, atid it framed a face of fiowerlike beautiy—an even-featured, oval face, softly tinted and daintily piquant. / Ned came in soberly, kissed the girl’s inviting lips, then sat beside her on the big divan. Studying his grave face, she waited for him to speak. "Bad news,” he said at last. 1 "What is it?" She spoke almost breathlessly, and he turned toward her with wakened interest. “Nothing very important." he told her casually. “I’m afraid I startled you with my lugubrious tones. I’ve got to go away for three months.” “Ned! You can’t! After all our plans. I won’t hear of it—" “Wait, dearest!" the man pleaded. “Os course I won’t ge if you say a**— 1 ” “Os course I say not—” THE AMERICAN ROAD WILDERS’ ASSOCIATION Plans Practically For 1324 Convention in Chicago. Raleigh, X. <’., Aug. 30.—Plans are practically completed for the 1024 con vention and road show of the American Road Builders’ association, of which Frank Page, chairman of the North Carolina Highway Commission, is president, it was announced today at the Highway Commission offices. The convention will be held in Chicago the week of January 14. H. I\. Witherspoon, editor of the North Carolina- Highway Bulletin, a’nd ('ha lies M. Cphani. state, highway engineer, who had charge of North Carolina’s exhibit, at the association's convention and road show last year, al ready are planning for a more extensive display at tlfe approachig event. Maps, showing tile growth of the state's high way system since the last show, models of improved roads and photographs of smooth stretches of highway in this state will be exhibited. Mr. tTpham has been appointed by Mr. Page to manage the road show. The engineer is < x pec ted to go to Chi cago s#mc time in advance of the con vention in order to complete arrange ments. Exhibits are expected to be en tered to be entered by practically every -state an the union. Road machinery and material manufacturers will also main tain exhibits. At the last convention and road show of the* American Road Builders' Asso ciation North Carolina's exhibit attract ed wide attention and, it was reported, received more comment than the exhibit of any other state. The exhibit at the show, Recording to highway commission authorities here, is expected to attract even more attention and comment. Details <rf the convention program are expected to be announced the latter part of September- ’’But it’s a real opportunity—to make forty or fifty thousand. Wait till I tell you about It, anyway.’’ He told her simply: the exact plan that his father had proposed. Her interest quickened as he talked. The idea of trading obsolete gowns for beautiful furs was particularly attractive to her. “I’ve got some old things I could spare.” she told him eagerly. “Why couldn’t you take those with you and trade them to some old squaw for furs?" “I could! I don’t see why I shouldn’t bring you back gome beauties.” Her eyes were suddenly lustful. “I’d like some silver fox—and enough sable for a great wrap. Oh, Ned— do you think you could get them for me?" His face seemed rather drawn and mirthless as he returned her stare. It had been too complete a victory. It can be said for the man that he bad come with the idea of persuading Lenore to let him go, to let him leave her arms for the sake of the advantages to be accrued from the expedition, but at least he wanted her to show some regret. "Ned, what kind of a trip will this NED KISSED THE GIRL’S IN VITING LIPS. he?” she asked him. Ho was more held by the under tone of excitement in her voice than by the question itself. “What is it?” he asked. "What do you mean—?’! “I mean—will it be a hard trip one of danger and discomfort?” “I don’t think so. I’m going to get a comfortable yacht—it will be a launch, of course, but a big, com fortable one —have a good cook and pleasant surroundings. It’s all in my . hands—hiring crew, schooner, itinerary, and everything. Os course, father told a wild story about cold and hardship and danger, but I don’t believe there’s a thing in it.” “I don’t either. It makes me laugh, those wild and woolly stories about the North! This hardship they talk about is all poppycock, and you know it—and the danger, too. To hear your father talk, and some of the others of the older generation, you’d think they laid been through the infernal regions! They didn’t have the sporting instincts that've been developed in the last genera tion, Ned." She paused, and he stared at her blankly. He knew perfectly well that some brilliant idea had ocurred to her: he was simply waiting for her to tell it. She moved nearer and slipped her hand between his. “Ned, I’ve a wonderful plan,” she told him. “There’s ijo reason why we should be separated for three months. You say the hiring of the launch, itinerary, and everything Is in your hands. Why not take mother and me with ydu?” “My dear—" SHOULDER STOOP CAUSES OLD AGE. SAYS PHYSICIAN , Tills Is a Direct Inversion of the Popular Theory. Portsmouth, Aug. 31.—Dr. Peter Mc- Donald startled f,Ue British Medical Association- conference lucre by that a stoop of the shoulders Causes old age—a direct the popular theory. t------ He said that by following the advice of a layman he threw a score of years from his shoulders. “I was feeling old and decrepit,” ex plained Dr. MacDonald, “when I picked up a book, published by this layman, from a bookstall. I was then a prema turely aged man. “I saw the author, and he told me that I was old simply because I stooped. Un der the treatment he laid down I threw off my stoop, and in a few weeks I be came a different mau.” Dr. MacDonald is an upright, spruce looking man, with an eyeglass and when he stretches himself to his full height apd carefully adjusted his monocle he looked barely thirty years of age. "We doctors." he said, "are too prej udiced against laymen who make a study of a certain subject, and often learn more than we do. despite all our knowl edge of medicine and surgery. “SVe have accepted the idea that the stoop of the shoulders and the bend of the neck arc inevitably linked tip with old age. ”1 know it will sound unorthodox to you all to suggest that old age is brought on by this stoop of the shoulders, but I have been convinced that it it so; the stance of the body seems to.be bftund up with the period one can live, and if ev ery man would hold himself upright he would live many years longer.” A firm in London makes a business of supplying dog attendants, who may be called upfiß by society women to lake tbeif petfc fbr an airing in the park PAGE FIVE “Why not? Toll mo that! , Tho doctor haa just recommended bar a sea trip. Where could she get > better one? Os course you’d have to get a big, comfortable launch—” “Take you—l should say I will take yon—end your mother, too,” he was exclaiming with the utmost en thusiasm and delight. It will be a regular joy ride such as we never took before.” IV "JVUED planned to rise early, hat 1 I l sleep was heavy upon him when he tried to waken. It was after ten when he had finished breakfast and was ready to begin active prepa rations for the excursion. TTI« first work, of course, was to see abopt hiring a launch. Ten minutes' ride took him to the office of his friend, Rex Nard, vice president of a great marine-outfitting establishment, and five minutes' con versation with this gentleman told him all he wanted to know. Yee, as It happened, Nard knew of a corking craft that was at that moment In need of a charterer, possibly Just the i' thing that Cornet wanted. .... ,;,u “This particular craft ,wes built for a scientific expedition’ bent out by one of the great museums,” Nard explained. “It Isn’t just a fisher man’s scow. .She has a nifty galley and a squg little dining saloon, apd two foxy little staterooms for extra toney passengers. Quite an up-stage little boat. Comfortable as any yacht you ever saw." “How about cargo space?” “I don’t know exactly—but it was big enough for several tons of wal- | rus and musk ox skeletons, so it | ought to suit you.” "What do you think I could get her for?” “I don’t think—l know. I was talking to her owner yesterday | noon. You can get her for ninety days for five thousand dollars— I seventy-five per for a shorter time. That includes the services of four j men, licensed pilot, first and second ! engineer, and a nigger cook; and 1 gas and oil for the motor." Ned stood up, his black eyes spark- j ling with elation, apd put on his j do I find her?” “Hunt up Ole Knutsen, at this ad- i dress.” Nard wrote an instant on a strip of paper. “The name of the* - j craft is the Charon." Ned drove to the designated ad dress, found the owner of the craft, and executed a charted after ten min utes of conversation. Knutsen was a big, sood-qatured man with a good- I ly> shdre of Norse blood that had paled his eyes and hair. Together i they drew up the list of supplies. j "Os course, we might put in’some j of dis stuff at nordern ports,” Knut sen told him in the unmistakable ac cent of the Norse. “You’d save money, though, by getting it here.” "All except one item—lost but not least,” Ned assured him. “I’ve got to stop at Vancouver.” "Canadian territory, eh— 7" “Canadian whisky. Six cases of Imperial quarts. We’ll be gone a long time, and a sailor needs his grog.” There was really very little else for Ned to do. The silk gowns and wraps that were to be his principal article of trade would not be received for a few days at least; and seeming ly he had arranged for everything. He started leisurely back toward his father’s office. But yes, there was one thing more. His father had said that his staff must include a fitter—a woman who could ply the needle and make minor alterations in the gowns. He knew where he could procure some one to do the fitting. Had not Bess Gilbert, when he had left her at the door the previous evening, told him that she knew ail manner of needlecraft? Her well-modeled, athletic, though slender form could endure such hardships as the work involved; and she had the tempera ment exactly needed: adventurous, uncomplaining, oourageoua He ] turned at once out Madison where Bess lived. She was at work at ih-» bear, a gray, sweet-faced woman told *»«»», but he was given directions whete he might find her. Ten minutes he was talking to the young lady herself.
