arising to children - It has
been suggested to us that
children, be warned of the
danger of crossing the street at other
points' than the regular' crossings,
especially on ' Wednesday and
Saturday nights, when the sides of the
street are thickly lined with cars.
Recently, a number of children
were very nearly run over while rac-
ing across. •
• Another' source of danger is .when
boys hang on to horse-drawn rigs.' A
few' days ago a boy was ,hanging on
and running behind a milk wagon:
The driver, of course, „didn't know he
was there. The boy tripped arid fell on
the , pavement.. Only the quick, appli
cation of brakes saved the boy from
being run over.
