As this admirable propaganda is only in its infancy, I submit the following additions to its collection of horrors, which may perhaps inspire others even cleverer than myself to evolve new methods of protecting the public from themselves. TUBES. A picture of a widow wringing her hands with grief, and under it this pungent hint: "This is the widow of a man who tried to light his cigarette on the 'live rail.'" A picture of a man who has been cut in half, with, say, a crisp little couplet:-- "Here are two portions of Benjamin Yates Who scorned the request to 'stand clear of the gates.'" A photograph of the interior of a hospital ward full of patients, with the following: "Interior of a ward in the Bakerdilly Hospital, exclusively for patients who stepped off the moving staircase with the wrong foot." TRAINS. A picture of a stately building standing in its own grounds with the description: "The N.S.E. & W. Railway Orphanage for children whose parents crossed the line by the track instead of the footbridge." A picture of a decapitated body with the poignant comment:-- "Be warned by the ending Of Ferdinand Goschen Who leaned out of window While the train was in motion." And perhaps a few general hints such as:-- (1) In stepping off an omnibus always alight feet first. (2) In crossing crowded thoroughfares, proceed through the traffic, not under it. (3) Before stepping from the pavement make quite sure that there is a road there, etc., etc. Imagination, colour--that's all that's wanted, and if this propaganda is carried far enough the safety of the public will be assured, for either they really will try not to be killed while travelling or walking in the streets, or they will stay indoors altogether. * * * * * A DISCIPLINARIAN. "SCHOOLMISTRESS'S RESIGNATION." Miss ---- will have the satisfaction of knowing that she has left her mark on those who have passed through her hands."--_Provincial Paper_. * * * * * "Closing scores in the professional golf match were Newman 14,835; Inman 13,343."--_Provincial Paper_. This high scoring was due, we understand, to the large number of losing hazards which had to be negotiated. * * * * * "Aerial fights to and from towns on the coast are to be a feature of Hythe's holiday season."--_Belfast Weekly News_. We are all in favour of popularising aviation, but we think this is over-doing it. * * * * * [Illustration: _Director of old-established firm_. "I HOPE YOU DON'T SMOKE?" _The new "Boy_."
