Father's day a. s come and gone and we can’t tell you just what day it was. That seems fitting, however, for that's about what father does from day to day. A skeleton, crouched over a stone table, has been discovered in a prehistoric cave in Italy and some wag now suggests that he was probably a newspaper telegrapher at a democratic convention. Tomorrow is Sunday, u day of rest, a day to cease thinking about politics and business and worries of one kind or another and to go to church where you can think about the millions of years to come after you have spent your little three scores and ten on earth. One of the most serious things about taking care of the increased traffic is the “jay-walking'' of pedestrians. Don't cut the corners diagonally. cross the streets at the regular crossings, look out for c ars each way. help yourself a little and don't make the driver do it all. A “kicker" with a righteous complaint against those who o|>erate their nvtoiiiobtte ! | with the cut-outs open, tells his story In today’s “Voice of the people” column. We have had a number of these complaints and we have never been able to figure just why so many want to see how much' noise they can snake when driving a car. Don't try to slide past those “STOP" signs at Second and Adams streets, even if you don't h»p|>en to see an officer. We noticed the* policeman standing back ot a tree last evening checking up us to how many took ad vantage of his supposed absence. Revoral arrests have been made and beginning next week those who have ben wurnd will be fined it they insist on violating the order.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Barron Collier Vice-President of the Boy Scout Organization of New York City (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) An Impressive procession passed up Fifth Avenue in New York City on “Safety Hay." School children by! the thousands responded to the call of the Bureau of Safety. The fifty floats in the parade told the story at a glance with crisp epigam that ■'even he who runs (an automobile) may read." When the Lima Park sightseeing car passed with thirty living. laughing children, the sign "thirty children like these were saved form the death toll last year," it brought tears to the eyes of the throng of fathers and mothers. This original Safety Day was in charge of Mr. Barron O. Collier, Deputy Police Commissioner of New York In charge of the Bureau of Safety, who directs the work of thirty specialists, ever alert for new ideas. As the head of the largest

single advertising organization in the world, with offlcrji from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Gulf, and directing the advertising In street cars in every city in the nation. Barron G. Collier gave the full force of his life experience and genius to this epochal event. The sign of the little old lady with stick uplifted gave that touch of humor which children under stand. “People must be led good humorcdly Into the realm of safety rather than be scared into it." replied Mr. Collier. The keen eyes of millions of people were virtually observing the parade that day in every town . city and hamlet throughout the land. It broadcasted a story of safety graphically and efllectlvely—a moving picture of Fifth Avenue that inaugurated a great crusade. Mayor Hylan presented the safety banners to successful schools of every race, creed and religion. The work begun will continue in a course that will save precious lives from the juggernaut automobile. , I ixeadiag the line was Barron Collier. a medium-sized man with prematurely gray hair, who always seems to wear a smile. As the father of a family of boys, his is w rapped up In the welfare work for children. Vicepresident of the Boy Scout organization of New York City that maintains tie vacation camps at Bear Mountain.

Two weeks ago today we watched the sun break through the windows | of the dining room at Madison Square hotel in New York and shine down upon the drawn faces of fifty-four political and legal giants who had battled through many weary hours to writ* a platform on which all could agree and which would assure bettor government for the people it was a never-to-be-forgotten acene, a crisis in th* history of the party of Jefferson for | there was danger of a division that would mean disaster. When the discussion had reached a point of breaking one way or another, we heard the great commoner. W. J. Bryan, plead for peace, we saw n strong and sturdy fighter. Judge McCann of Pennsylvania, surrender and <he sincere Bryan reach out and take him by the hand. McCann repented the Lord's prayer and then Bryan ask { *d the Great Father for guidance In I words of sincerest earnestnss.

z/ ' * •?> . \. 1 -. A ' I Barron Collier says: “Retain the enthusiasm and spirit of Youth with the experience of passing years and achievement is assured.” he has proved that the boy born in Memphis. Tennesse, retains the sympathetic spirit of the young lad, who as a telegraph messenger and editor of the school paper at the age of twelve years, was also securing and studying advertising as his life work. A crude little card was the beginning

of a business that marks the evolution of advertising through the conistrnctlve genins of Barron Collier. “The power of expolitation is not confined to the mass meeting or legislative halls in these days. People are quick to understand a matter of common interest," he commented. “I never worked harder or enjoyed anything more than To exploit something which concerns the public interest.” In his office on 42nd Street or en route over the country, Barron Collier exemplifies the projective and mutlplied power of an executive, deciding quickly with a <'/ar-visioned objective in view. Recalling impressions as accurately as the camera plate develops these Impressions Into acts and action. “Retain the enthusiasm and spirit of Youth with the experience of passing years and achievement is assured. Schools are the first line of defense against automobile accidents. The jay walker.-the speed fiend and the careless driver have hen responsible for a greater lose of lives than occurred to the American forces in the casualties of the World War. What can be more Inspiring work than to know you are saving lives. Lifesavors are just as necessary on the streets ns the life guards who patrol the seashore."
