Hayes, presidents of the Chicago Mptor Cluib. "Many children «HU begin their school life, and will be out alone on the streets for the first time. Be as careful on the streets as you would want other motorists to be on streets that your children must traverse. Do not be misled by the hysterical mouthings of amateur safety reformers who declare that acidents are mainly caused by drunken drivers or speed manics. Accidents are caused mainly by good upright qitixens; men who have only the most kindly and gentle of natures are frequently responsible for the most tragic accidents. You, yourself, in a moment of carelessness, might cause an accident that would give you a lifetime of regret. Eternal vigilance is most certainly the price of safety. When you get off the boulevards redouble your caution, not indeed, that you should throw caution to the winds on boulevards, but rather that you as a prudent man should use extra precaution where the hazard is greatest. Comparatively few accidents occur on the boule-. vards. "The hoars at which accidents to children are most likely to occur are between four and six in the afternoon. Remember that when you are driving. "The ages between three and nine are the most dangerous to children. Vales, all from Chicago, were guests More children are injured at the age of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Vales for (of six than at any other age.

Clabangfi Accepts Big Task BY LESTER B. COLBY Illinois Chamber of Commerce "The one most important thing in civilization is the protection of life and property. Without it you haven't got any civilization. Times have changed in Illinois." The man who said that to me has power to turn loose upon Illinoisans several thousand criminals--or keep them in the prisons where they belong. He has more power over the lives of more men than any man in all America except, perhaps, the president of the United States and two or three governors. "You may say that a new day has come," he said to me, rather simply. The man is Hineon G. Clabaugh, new chief of the state prison parole board. Under the law he, and no other man, has the power to parole a prisoner when he has served his minimum." When a man who has been sentenced to prison from one year to life has served one year he can turn him loose if he wants to and no man can stop him. He has the power to nullify the work of the Supreme Court of the United States, the ^Supreme Court of Illinois, all the judges of every court in Illinois, every state's attorney, all the police. It is a power that many a king or potentate might envy. It is an enormous club for politics or gain or intrigue if held in crooked or weak hands. This amazing power developed a smell that sunk to heaven in Illinois in recent months. The stench was so terrific that it forced its own cleansing. This story that I am writing brings information of enormous importance to the people of Illinois. In its effect upon the business and life of the state I believe it the biggest story of the day. I mean just that and I Am confident now that: "The public is going to get a square deal." Mr. Clabaugh made that promise to me. I have known Hinton G. Clabaugh or a long time. He was sixteen years in government service, mostly handling crooks and criminals and trailing them down. He served under five presidents, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding and Coolidge. During the World war he was head of the department of justice in Chicago. His division covered Illionis, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. He ended as chairman of the secret service war board and so was head of all such co-ordinate work here. He ranked as lieutenant in the navy for four years. He and a few others originated and organized the "A. P. L." of wartime fame. During the World war circumstances fixed it so that I used to see Hinton G. Clabaugh almost every day. He had a job of amazing ramifications and multitudinous contacts then. Yet I never knew that he ever doublecrossed a single man. He has three qualities, amazing energy,immaculate honesty and superlative guts. I know that once when a powerful politician in Washington demanded of Hinton G. Clabaugh that he do i something that was wrong. He look- ' ed him in the eye and politely told him to go to hell. "Yon ought to he fired!" roared the official. "Then, why don't you ^re ma?" asked Clabaugh quietly. "•Because I can't, bawled the politician. I know that three times Hinton G. Clabaugh walked into the offices of the lordly politicians in Washington and flung his resignation in their faces because they demanded him to do things that he thought was not right--and three times they refused to accept it. I know that he remained in the employ of the government for years at $4,500 a year when private interests had a standing offer for his services at $200,000 a year--stuck because his country needed him. I know that when a crisis came and the attorney-general of the United States and the United States District Attorney of Chicago were to be investigated that Clabaugh, then out of government service, was recalled to help. I know, too, that Clabaugh left the government service in debt. I am not recording this as propaganda for Clabaugh or for or against Governor Small or to build up or tear down any man. i am writing it because it is an important story to Illinois. I do not know Clabaugh's politics. I suspect he has none--in a partisan way. None of the five presidents he worked under, I am sure, ever knew his politics. Neither does Governor Small todlay, I would Wager. The nearest Clabaugh ever came to telling me his politics was when he said: "I never attended a political meeting of any kind in my life." Furthermore, he told me, up to the time Governor Small called him on the 'phone to invite him to take the job, he had never seen Len Small. With a twinkle in his eye Mr. Clabaugh related to me a humorous incident. He said: • .«/ My 'phone rang one day and a man's voice said, "The governor wants to see you. He ts waiting." "I kid sometimes a bit myself. If the voice had said President Coolidge is waiting, or the Prince of Wales or the former Kaiser or Kemal Pasha is waiting, I'd probably replied just as I did, 'Well, let him wait.' I was busy and I did let him wait because I thought it was some joker. "I answered in a minute or two and another voice said 'This is Len Small.' I was much surprised." Something of the story of Governor Small's arguments in getting Clabaugh to take the post, filled with grief as it is bound to be, will be told in another article. The aifMMat that Anally brought action was tide: "People hold me accountable far evils that grow up. If I go to MS like you, men who could remedy Umb, men I can trust, and you all turn M down, one after the other, then <aa you hold me, the governor, to hlma t" Attend County Institute The COUiivj * i vi rum teachers was held at the Woodstock Community high school Thursday and Friday.
