Traffic Safety Taught in Club Amsterdam. -In order to promote alertness and strict adherence to traffic rules by children, Maarten Maarten Vrij, superintendent of the New Scheel Society at Amsterdam, founded the "Club for Safe Traffic." ` Every pupil, who desires to set an example as to how to behave in the. street and who can prove that he or she lives up to this desire, can join the chub. Therefore, -when applying for membership of the club the pupils have to produce a statement, signed by five grown ups, to the effect that they belong to the "good" users of the road. These five persons who have to sign the affidavit must belong to different bcatichee of traffic activity, One sig nature may be that of one of the parents or of the teacher, the second ono must be that of a car -driver, the third that of a cyclist, the fourth that of a conductor of other transport such as a trant•eonductor, and the fifth signature should be that of a police officer. Best Way to Back Car In reversing the car, bring it to a standstill, then with the clutch re- leased place the goat' lever iu the reverse notch. Allow the clutch to engage gently and with the right hand only on the steering wheel look 'backward and gauge the direction by the rear mud guard or the rear wheel. _ Do not attempt to steer by watching the front wheels; always look to the rear when going back ward.

This was done, it was said, to keep a rend of the experiments. An ideal may be all eight, but a Square deal is usually better. Eggs So' Cheap in Illinois Grocer Gives Them Away West Frankfort, I11.—hggs have be- come so cheap in. this neighborhood that on Feb. 14th one grocer could afford to give away 500 dozen of them to his customers in an effort to stimu- late business. The regular retail price is 15 cents a dozen, A laying spree by liens, due to the warm weather, was given as the reason for the low Prices. In Centralia eggs sold down to 11 cents a dozen, the lowest price in seventy-five years.

Mexico Extending Rural Education Amherst, Mass.—Mexico is rapidly developing its education system in a determination to educate the rural two-thrids of its population, according to Senor Enrique C. Aguirre, who lectured at Massachusetts Agricul- tural College: He declared that a new Mexico is in the nialdng. 1 Rural schools, numbering 7500, have been established and are in- 1 creasing at the rate of 1500 a year, he said. The schools, he went on, are primitive and poorly equipped. However, the teachers have a zeal and interest which coupled with the eagerness of the students, are great- ly stimulating the native crafts and arts, he added. Mr. Aguirre urged that closed rela- tionship and understanding between Central America and the.
