The Schoolboy Patrol
(Atlanta Journal.)
The Georgia Schoolboy Pa
trol, now being organized thru
out the State, promises highly
important results both in pre
venting accidents and in culti
vating among its young mem
bers a sense of good citizenship
and social service. Two hundred
and forty-three school children were
injured and one hundred and three
were killed by motor vehicles in Geor
gia last year. It is significant that
not one of these deaths occurred
where a schoolboy patrol was func
tioning. Why not extend such pro
tection to the smaller towns and ru
ral districts?
The State Highway Patrol has an
swered, through its director of safety
education, Lon E. Sullivan, that it
will assist all teachers and principals
in organizing this service in their
several school areas. Chosen students,
after completing a course of in
struction under members of the State
Patrol, will be given badges and in
signia and assigned to duty in di
recting traffic in the neighborhood of
school grounds and in protecting
children who are getting on and off
school buses. Every three months the
personnel of the youthful patrols ;
will be changed, so that others may j
share in what doubtless will prove to '
be a coveted opportunity and honor.
Further, at the end of each quarter,
the best ten schoolboy patrolmen
will be given an educational trip
through Georgia.
Working under the sponsorship and
in conjunction with the state highway
patrol, the boys will have a well-de
fined status. They will command re
spect and inspire co-operation from
the motoring public. They will avert
many accidents, will save precious
lives and will develop in themselves
the virtues of vigilant and useful cit
izenship. An altogether admirable
project, the Georgia Schoolboy Pa
trol has the best wishes of the entire
commonwealth.

still the first characteristic of Amer

Colony Founded in 1638
New Sweden, or New Swedeland,
was founded in 1638 by colonists
from gweden, in the region between
the Dutch colony of New Nether
lands and the English colony of Vir
ginia. It included portions of the
present Delaware and New Jersey.
In 1655 the Dutch took possession
of it.
Full-Fledged Adult
It Is difficult to say exactly when
a person is a full-fledged adult. Dr.
Ales Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian
institution, says a man is not full
grown at twenty-five, and may not
even be at forty. The prbcess of
growth continues almost to old age,
he says, and may never be com
plete. The arms, legs and body
are known to grow long after man
hood and womanhood are consid
ered complete. Women’s feet grow
more than men’s after twenty-five,
and a man’s chest grows till he is
forty or fifty. When old age sets
in the chest and trunk shrink and
the legs shorten slightly. The nose
continues to lengthen throughout life
in most people.
Round-Robin Epistle in
Circulation 35 Years
Madison, Wis. —A round-robin let
ter that for 35 years has been for
warded again and again to nearly
all sections of the world is kept in
circulation by 15 graduates of the
University of Wisconsin’s class of
1902.
The letter was started when the
students were reluctant to part upon
graduation.
In June, 11 of the 15 met here at
their class reunion. At that time
all were alive, but one, Paul C. Fos
ter, Chicago, has since died.
The group was drawn together by
a mutual interest in forming a Y. M.
C. A. here during their student days.
Their interest in Y. M. C. A. work
continued after graduation, and at
one time nine of the fifteen were
Y. M. C. A. secretaries.
Five of the round-robin club mem
bers made Y. M. C. A. work their
life vocation. Three became high
school and university instructors,
two became physicians, two entered
law practice, two became insurance
salesmen, and another went to live
on a farm.
Y. M. C. A. work carried several
of the members to China and Ja
pan. A letter stapted in Japan would
go the rounds of the members with
each adding to it until it wound up
back in Japan byway of China.

Cowboy’s Fatal Plunge Off Train ,
Halted by Partner’s Quick Action
wm
LOSING his footing on the Icy
“cat walk” atop the cars of a
night freight, Billy Kennon, Jr.,
Arizona cattle shipper, owes his life
to the quick action of a partner as
he was about to be ground under
the wheels of the speeding train.
Kennon, who works for one of
the largest cattle-shipping firms in
the Southwest, is stationed at Co.
ranch, near Hereford, Ariz. In
charge of 35 carloads of cattle, be
left Hereford in a cold, drizzling
rain. He and his partner feared
trouble with the cattle, he aaye,
and they kept close watch to see
if any went down. All was well
when they reached Gila, however,
after a three-hour run from Tucson,
and they decided to drop off for a
cup of coffee. '
“When we swung back on the
train,” Kennon said, “it was dark
and sleet was falling. As we pulled

and saw that two steers were down
and in bad shape. We yelled to the
brakeman to keep going, though.
My partner held my light and 1
went in and got the steers back
on their feet.
“The train was making about 40
miles an hour as we started to walk
the top to the caboose. My partner
was ahead. Ice was all over the
car now, and my cowboy boots
made the going pretty hard. I called
, to my partner to stop, but I didn't
call soon enough. 1 slipped and
the next second 1 was headed down
’ between two cars.
"My partner spun around when
he heard me yell and the flashlight
shone on the brake-wheel. 1 made
a grab as I fell and got a one-hand
hold on the wheel. There 1 dangled.
1 Finally 1 got hold of the wheel

1 up. It was a close call, and but
