These patrols which consist of school children organized in groups to practice and observe safety in the streets and on the sidewalks, have been organized by the Keystone Automobile club and are under supervision of the faculties and school authorities and are guided by the club's patrol system.

THREE PERSONS HELD IN DEATH OF CHILD New York, March. 3. (AP).

Two men and a woman were in jail tonight as a result of the death of four-year-old Joan Morvan, who succumbed to the effects of a criminal assault. Howard Magnussen, 26, of Huntington Station, Long Island, was charged with murder after Police Inspector Joseph Donovan said he admitted ravishing the girl while she was a week-end visitor at his home Sunday. The child's father, George Morvan, 24, of Jamaica, Queens, was held with his housekeeper, Mrs. Norma Gatto, on charges of beating the girl with a hairbrush. Mrs.

Gatto, a 25-year-old divorcee, is a sister of Magnussen. Neither she nor Morvan was implicated directly in the child's death, but authorities preferred felonious assault charges against them on the testimony of neighbors who said the girl had been frequently beaten.

FEWER ACCIDENTS AMONG WORKERS ON STATE'S HIGHWAYS (Special to The Gaiette and Daily) Harrisburg, March 3. A decrease in accidents among the state's workers on roads, and a corresponding decrease in the cost of workmen's compensation insurance for such injuries is reported by the state Highway department. Although praising the cooperation ef engineers and workmen in tne field, Secretary of Highways Warren Van Dyke gives chief credit to the Bureau of Safety for the record of saving the lives and limbs of increasing numbers of workers on the roads. The Bureau of Safety was established in the department when Samuel S.

Lewis, York, was secretary of highways and ttse bureau was organized by-HarryDImmel Tork. Im-mel previously had been in charge of safety inspections for the Department of Labor and Industry. Besides saving lives and reducing injuries, accident prevention cute the cost of compensation and other incidental expenses. Premiums paid by the Department of Highways to the state workers' insurance fund are greater than for all other state departments combined. For 1933-34 they totaled for 1934-33, J670.221.60; for 1935-36, It will be noted that these figures represent a large decrease which is directly attributable to the work of the Bureau of Safety.

The premium rate for 1933-34 was $3.61 per $100 of payroll, for 1934-34, for 1935-36, $2.15, and for the current year 1936-37 it is $2.09. In 1936, two-thirds of all fatalities to department employes resulted from accidents for which publicly-owned vehicles were directly re sponsible. District safety representatives are Qualified by the American Red Cross to instruct classes in first aid. The bureau conducts accident prevention meetings throughout the state and makes a thorough inspection of all work projects in the field and checks them for dangerous working conditions and for evidence of neglect or ignorance of safety regulations. All buildings owned or occupied by the department are inspected to obtain maximum sanitation and cleanliness.

Equipment, such as first-aid kits, goggles, safety belts, has been provided to protect the department's forces, and in addition, some 150,000 W. P. A. employes engaged on Highway department projects. ORK ON PLANS FOR 1937 CONVENTION OF NATIONAL LEGION New York, March 3, (AP).

Headed by dynamic, dark-haired Robert Condon, a group of men and women worked today on plans to make their dream of a "world's largest convention" come true. Pausing between conferences in the busy office of the American Legion 1937 convention corporation of New York, Condon explained how arrangements to bring more than half a million war veterans and their wives to New Tork during the week of September 30 were progressing. "We expect to stay busy until the last train has started the last convention visitor back home," said Condon, executive vice-president of the legion's convention coroporation. "The biggest Job is to house the flood of convention visitors we expect, and we are planning for more than 600,000. Besides that there are other problems which are almost as great handling a legion parade which will probably last for 24 hours and pass some of the busiest corner in New Tork; providing a diversified entertainment for visitors from all over the world; arranging special transportation Jot various le-jion units, including the bends and drum corps; snd handling reunions of 73 otiier patriotic and veteran organizations who will also meet here during the convention week."
