One won ders what theee careteas people are thinking shoot when they walk to front of fast-movtog traffic, without stopping, looking or listening. Too many pedestrians do not ap preciate their own responsibility hot place it all on motorists. To educate them la one of onr tasks, a problem that faces every safety advocate ac tively engaged to accident preven tion wort. Pedestrian traffic most be standardised and the sooner it Is done the better it will be for the na tion. There should be uniform laws for pedestrians Just as many commu nities have standard traffic regula tions for motorists. The hard» of responsibility should not be placed upon either the motorist or the pe destrian alone, tor If this Is done the other will run wild. It Is Just as Im portant to teach the pedestrian to keep from being hit as It is to edu cate the motorist from striking him. In other words, what Is needed I* sort of a motorist-pedestrian partner ship. It Is more Important tor the pedes trian to be careful than for the mo torist, for It is nsnally the pedestrian who is Injured to an automobile acci dent.

Bat to hart a friend, even though he be only * four legged one, compensates for s lot of things, in the public ward of the hospital to which I once dwelt, there toy a human derelict. Be had no visi tors, he had no money, but he did have one friend. Day and night for eleven week* a yellow creature of the type commonly referred to as "pup," "kl-yoodle," or "cur" gave a marvelous exhibition of loyalty while pawing out a living from the garbage cans at the rear of the hospital where his owner was con lined. —. Pete—for that, I understand, was the- dog's name—never left the side walk, from the day be arrived to the wake of the patrol wagon to which his friend was brought Once h* eluded the doorman, gained admit tance to the hospital and found his way to a cot There he beard "hla master's voice." standing they had between them seemed to satisfy Pete, for he went out and resumed hla vigil at the door Whatever nnder Every box office treasurer hears ol defective vision and hearing so often he thinks an eye and ear hospital should adjoin svery theater. A pro spective patron mumbled something about, "Can't see very well and a little deaf," to Charles Thomas to the box office at the Century theater In New Fort last week. At the moment Thomas wss toying with s bank pin which he accidentally flicked out of his hand to the public side of the window. The patron, a courteous, middle aged woman. Immediately stooped with alacrity, picked up the pin from the floor and restored it to Thomas through the window. The treasurer could not resist a smile at the thought of the alleged defective vision. Th* woman "got wise" also. "I'm taking my grandmother," ahe said. "It's she who can't see very well and It's my hearing that's bad." The alibi was good for "two down front." Someone Is always inquiring bow my trouble started, and how did it happen, meaning, when did I first notice I bad be» shell-shocked to the battle of life. That question Is about as easy to answer as "How high la up 7" It Is as impossible to determine wb» It started as it Is when It will end. And the contributing causes wer« aw numerous as the treatments. It cams slowly and gradually. The doc tor aaid It would leave the same way. I .know now he was right about the "slowly."

In taking me out of bed she always lifts my feet first before attempting to hotat me op. The other day she swung me aronnd, and, reaching under my shoulders, stood me on my feet I landed right to the waste basket that was standing near the bed. Which makes me wonder if she to as Ignorant of newspaper customs as she pretends to be. If It really was accidental or If «bo baa a news sense. One thing Is certain, that If she dumps me to the wastebasket I will escape the composing room and will not be left to the overset. ■* Some time when yon are "bored to Mara," suffering from ennui or delv ing for a new thrill just try bringing (not sending) a few boxes of candy to the children's hall of some hospi tal.
