The admiral, Britain's high commander at the only great naval en gagement of the World War, was 75. He was 57 when ha led the British high seas fleet into the battle of Jutland, off the Danish coast, on May Si. 1018 Many naval strateg ists have maintained Jellicoe lost the engagement to Germany's Admiral Reinhard Scheer Jellicoe lct more ships and men than Scheer and the German fleet escaped to haven behind the fortified island of Heligoland, but the battle left the British fleet master of the North Sea.

In a letter to the secretary proposing immediate steps to cut the fast mounting toll of accidents, the President said that although the problem is almost wholly one for state, county and city officials, federal action is needed to induce these agencies to proceed more actively. Letter of President The President wrote: "I feel that the interest which we have been manifesting in the reduction of accidents on land, sea and in the air, should take such immediate and substantial form as put into action the recommendations which we ha 'been making. "To this end, I r'Aest that you call in and confer! tfith a group of patriotic and widely known citizens who will cooperate with you formulating plans for the control of this distressed situation in our country. "Accidents constitute one of our gravest national problems and it is important that we obtain wide cooperation and consider all possible counsel in applying the mjst efficacious remedies in the interest of preservation of life and property in this country. "It is clear that jurisdiction over highways is almost wholly within the province of state, county and municipal government, not the federal government.

Nevertheless, you can accomplish much by getting these other government agencies to proceed more actively than they have heretofore." The general committee named by Secretary Roper and of which he will be chairman ex offlcio, will be headed by Sen. A. Harry Moore of New Jersey. Sen. William a.

mc Adoo of California will head the group concerned with greater safety the air. and waiter parxer oi New Orleans, former chairman of national flood prevention and river regulation commission, will direct those concerned with greater safety at sea.

Cagney is certainly popular and what's more, he continues to be a favorite with both men and women.

He is the (type, apparently, the public likes rough and ready, and a down to earth attitude.
