The Traffic Coppet By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 9. The coppet is a new and popular institution in this city. She is not to be confused with the woman policeman who goes around in pursuit of the wayward girL The coppet is a children's traffic officer. She gives her services to make dangerous street crossings safe, and all the pay she draws is in smiles from the children. Washington has 100 coppets, and Mrs. Ellis Logan, who is in charge of the "force," says that she can use 800. The idea came to Washington when New York mothers were taking their children to school during the milk strike emergency. Mothers went to all sorts of trouble and made every effort to see that their children got to school safely. Interest was aroused jn the hazards to which children are exposed on the streets, and the question raised: Why shouldn't a city organize the women who could give half an hour a day or just half an hour a week to get the

children safely across streets where

no traffic officers are stationed. Mrs. Logan thought Washington could. The

city traffic department liked the idea

and agreed to back up the corps and to give instructions.

The plan was first tried out at the Wilson Normal School, where the pupils are children in the first four grades and in the kindergarten. These youngsters, practically all under 10 years, have had dangerous routes to travel.1 A car line runs on one side of the school and two other lines run parallel with this, two and three blocks away. - jg?- : v Mrs. Logan regarded the street car crossing by this school as a good place to demonstate the work of the coppet. She and three other volunteers were broken in by the head ot the city traffic department one morning at 8:30, and for half an hour they

were kept busy piloting troops or school children between the four sidewalks of the crossing. The children took with enthusiasm to the "mamma policeman," as they at once nicknamed the volunteer traffic officers. They also responded to the efforts of the women, Jo teach them how to cross the streets. Dangers of diagonal crossing and of neglecting to watch for automobiles were explained so that the children , would be more careful atcorners unprotected by traffic guardians. From that beginning the project spread to 15 school centers in one week, and it is being extended almost as rapidly now. Even in the suburbs, women have volunteered to patrol the railroad crossings near school buildings. One notably dangerous suburban crossing not far from a school is

TRY SULPHUR ON AN ECZEMA SKIN Costs Little and Overcomes Trouble AlmostOver Night. Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying Mentho-Sulphur, declares a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sluphur preparation instantly brings ease from pkin irritation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment without delay. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar of Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like cold cream.

now being regularly guarded at school time. The corps of coppets is being organized systematically. Each woman

who volunteers is listed for tne time; she can give, whether at eight-thirty, twelve or three o'clock. Records are kept to show whether she is to serve every day op only on one or two of the five school days. If it happens that the coppet cannot be at her post, she is expected to supply a substitute, remembering that the requirements for a coppet are willingness to stick to business and a love for children. Mrs. Logan had one experience with "visiting" among a group of workers who should have been watching traffic, even though things had slacked up for a few minutes. She explained to them plainly that during the half hour oh duty a coppet must be alert every instant. Her presence means that the children depend on her instead of looking out for themselves, and she must take care of them. There has been no conversation between traffic squads on duty since. No Fuss or Feathers The protection of school children on the street is being developed along the simplest possible lines. The coppet needs no special' uniform. A white band above each elbow is the only insignia she wears. The duties can be mastered in a half hour period, Mrs. Logan finds. The coppet simply helps the children across the street between two corners,, and holds up traffic when necessary to make the street safe for children. At present the work i3 being done

mostly at corners nearest the schools. These are the 'crossings used by the greatest number of children. As the number of volunteers from a neighbor

hood increases, however, the service i3

being extended to dangerous crossings

farther from the schol buildings. At every center, Mrs. Logan places four women. There must be one, she says, for each corner, so that traffic in every direction may be efficiently watched, and so that the children may be assisted across the four cross walks. The traffic department has agreed to back up the coppets in the event of their reporting cases of speeding or refusal to obey signals. So far there has been no difficulty of this sort. The city is heartily co-operating with the volunteer traffic officers. But in the event of trouble the four women to a crossing would insure that a driver's number would be taken and, too, there would be witnesses. Mrs. Logan is getting letters, telephone calls and visits every day from women who are anxious to help. One woman who was visiting "in Washington for a month, arranged to give some time each day to the children. Another, a woman of 70, still spry and alert, was eager to help. She said that she had been looking for civic welfare work and this was something she could do. "We have given our money to the children of Europe," says Mrs. Logan. "For our own children we ask only a little time. It is a woman's work, done in a dignified, efficient manner, and women are responding to the suggestion of a new field for service. The volunteers have come from all walks of life." Work Benefits Coppets Mrs. Logan thought of the traffic work only as a service that the women could give to the city, but a prominent doctor in the city sees possibilities for physical benefit. He told her that he wished all of his women patients who could got out would take i up traffic work. "There is -nothing,"

! said the doctor, "that will give health

like regular outdoor exercise and the feeling of helping others." "I feel that the time must come, Mrs. Logan said, "when the woman who tuas leisure will give her time to serve the children of the woman who works. We older women, especially, who have no little children on our

hands, can do this to help the younger i ones. - j "The leters that I receive show how great a service it is that we can give. Women ivho have had to lock up their babies at home in order to bring older children to school write to thank the coppets fox relieving them of this burden. Other women who have been bringing tfieir own children offered their services to help other people's boys and girls. Eight women who regularly taki? their families to school said they would come early and stay until 9 o'ci'ck. One mother coppet brings her , two-year-old baby In his carriage and leaves him on the sidewalk while ahe helps other children across the siii eet." Though the coppet project Is only a couple of wee lis old in Washington, "it is already be ti g suggested for other places. The lfe of the mayor of Toronto, who way in the city last week, became interested In the plan and declared that she-:. would try to have it Introduced in Toronto. The ambassador from the Argentine

Republic also is Interested. He sent his secretary to obtain all details from T Mrs, Logan with a view to having the i plan put into effect in Argentina.
