How the Philadelphia Itapld Transit Com
pany la Keeking to reduce the number of ac
cidents duo to the carelnanen of children
nnd ndulta In crossing the street In front
of trolloy cars was described last n'Rht by
Miss Ileatrlce V. Clinch, of the safely bit
reau of the corporation, before tho Pcnnsyl
anla fitato Hallway Aaaoclatlon. nt the
Hotel Adelphla.
Mlis Clinch, a remarkably trrtty young
woman, waa engaged by the Itapld Trnnalt
Company to speak to gatherings of school
children on "itafety first" and to undertake
other activities leading to greater safely In
the public highways.
Sho told how hundreds of children com
peted for prizes for the beat stories dealing
with accident prevention, how thousand nf
blotters bearing pictures Illustrating "safety
first" had been distributed nmong the boys
and girls of tho prlatc, parochial nnd
nubile schools
Mlsi Clinch said- "The motorman must
watch continually for the safely of thought
less women, tho man who Is so worried
with business affairs that he has no
thought of safety nnd for tho safety of the
children who do not know tho danger. He
must be watchful nt stre-t crossings nnd
must not fall to note tho moement of ve
hicles which nre being driven or operated
by careless persons. Ho cannot Ignore the
faot-mo Init. short-turning automobile; he
must ever be on the alert for the unex
pected moes of small children In the
squares, he must expect that some careless
person will suddenly appear from behind a
movlns vehicle or car nnd step Into his
pathway nt extremely nhort notlco. He
willingly docs all this, but he expects that
you contribute your share of caution for
your personal safety."

"This book contains . . . the record of a short
life, into which was crowded far more of keen experi
ence and high aspiration of the' thrill of sense and
the rapture of soul than it is given to niost men, even
of high vitality, to extract from a life of twice the
length. Alan Seeger had barely, passed his twenty
eighth birthday, when he was caught in a deadly
flurry of machine-gun fire, and fell lohis
friends his loss was grievous, to literature it was we
shall never know how great,"-W7Wan Archer,
"To England the war gave as it poe.t-hero Rupert
Brooke; as token of the love ottwo great republics, it
gave to America and France this other so(ldier-poet,
eternally,. divinely young;, hs life and death made
poetry, too. If there is tragedy in 'such a loss we
joyfully remember that in tragedy also there may be
pure beauty." Collier'? Weekly. ' W "
