ESSAY The fallowing essay entitled' "How I Can Make the Highways More Safe." was written by Miss Anna1 Higgs Griffith of the Menola Graded School and won a flattering prise in a National Safety contest. As a pupil 1 have great opportuni ties, and wonderful possibilities for naakihg the Highways more safe. 'I can blaz^ a trail for others to follow. I can point out carelessness as one of the causes of aceidents, which oe cur daily. \ ' I can, in a great measure, prevent this carelessness of pedestrians and may influence the. path of many a traveler, being ever thoughtful of the precautions mother and teacher hWe taught me. When the responsibility of looking after one's self has for the first time been thrust upon them; it is easy enough to avoid risks, but care lessness may grow With repetition. When in the business part of a city, one should always stand in the safety zone while waiting for street cars. Truly one can always be courteous, but on a crowded street, the best policy is "Safety First." The traffic managers, the street ear Aotormen, and the chaffeurs have much to do in making the Highways safe, but it is our part as children to use our own wits, as best we can. I know of an accident in which a child, nine ears of age, was killed. The street car ^oor had been left open, after discharging the passen gers, and the child had been allowed to reenter the car; then leave in time to be caught under the wheels of a passing automobile, causing an acci dent which might have been avoided by the observance of traffic rules, on the part of the child and conduct or. When boarding a street car be sure the car is at a standstill, grasp both handles if possible; place the left foot on the step and ascend quickly. When riding do not put your head or hand out of the window, for by so you are risking each. When getting off grasp the rod firmly with the left hand, face forward, left foot on the step and with the right step on the street. Before starting toward the ? sidewalks, look for traffic in both di rections, then step. On the front of> street car, in the city of Philadelphia, I noticed the sign "Dont B-A-J." Jay-walking has often been the cause of accidents. The school is a place wnere saiety is taught, however there is in it a . field for the occurrence of accidents. Children so often endanger themselves in their romps and play. For in stance, when they are playing on the school ground and their ball happens to be knocked into the street, one or several children, never looking in either direction, will untboughtfully dash after it, it may be in front of a passing car. The'driver of the pass ing far, in spite of his observance of the sign ''Slow Down, School Dis trict," is unable to bring his car to a standstill before reaching the chil dren, the driver is terrified and the child injured. - "He who stops to look each way, may live to look another day." At a very early age a child may be taught his- or her address. This "would often relieve the misery and anxiety of lost children, policemen,, and parents. When the streets are icy or slick ashes or sand may be put on them, and the law should insist upon the usage of chains on automobiles, there by preventing skidding of the wheels, and avoiding many possible accidents. The great loss of life, and money is largely due to the fact that every city has been allowed to make its own traffic, regulations, which are us ually enforced by untrained officers. Such methods are uneconomical and should be superceded by intelligent laws administered by trained men. As a child I will endeavor to take the necessary precautions which I have been taught, and it is my duty to pass them on to others. SAY IT NOW Some one we know ia going to die some time. Their good deeds will appeal to us, and will be emphasized by the death that overtakes our friends. Before the grass begins to grow over them we Will have many kind words to say of them. Their sterling qualities will be extolled, and their faults will be overlooked or forgotten. That is the way of the world. But jt might be different. We might commend their good qualities while they are still here to reap the benefits of that commendation. A kind word means much to those who are striving to do right. It en courages them to remain steadfast in their laudable undertakings, to per serve in the path of honor, and to | extend a helping hand to others who need aid or enlightenment. Say it to them in life. They can't hear you when dead. Subscribe to the Herald; do H now.

We are remaining true to our first love, the fabric hat. While straws have come In strong for millinery In general, when It comes to the sports hat, fabric remains the thought su preme, although many sports hats have straw facings. There Is, however, exceptions toVJhe rule In the straw body hats and in the new tagal straw hats cut out of large plaques, Just the same as of a material by tbe yard. These tagal shapes, through tbe deft ness of the designer, are embroidered over their entire area either with straw, angora or chenlle. They are aa pliable as the fabric cuff hat.
