heir games during recess, reporting any risky condition to their teachers. We've planned it so this team work will not only keep the youngsters from being run over and all that, but will also be training them to take care of themselves and keep out of danger just like any Safety Scout. How does the idea strike you?" "Fine! It's a good, practical plan! Makes me wish I were a boy again myself. Hello, here we are--out we go!" "Why, where are we?" "I'll soon show you." Uncle Jack led the way to the elevator and they shot up, up, clear to the roof. "Hungry?" he asked, as a white-clad waiter showed them to a table. He enjoyed the surprise of Bob and Betty; they had never had luncheon downtown before. Mr. Dalton's hard-earned wages left no room for such celebrations as this. And a roof garden--! No wonder it seemed very strange and very grand to the Dalton twins. They must have spent a good half-hour ordering that meal: it was fun to study the big bill of fare and pick out delicious things which they "never had at home." Uncle Jack seemed to find it just as much fun as they did, and he understood pretty well how they felt as they ate and ate, while they gazed out on the roofs of the city spread out below them. It wasn't so _very_ many years, you see, since he had been a youngster himself! _Plant the Safety First idea and watch it grow._ --SURE POP [Illustration] ADVENTURE NUMBER FIFTEEN TWIN UNIFORMS "How nice and cool it is up here!" Betty, looking very grown-up and quite as if she were used to taking luncheon in a roof garden every day, smiled contentedly at Uncle Jack over her glass of lemonade. "Cool as a cucumber," said her uncle. "Hard to realize how sweltering hot it is down there in the street, isn't it? Betty, what's _your_ Safety work going to be when school begins?" Betty glanced at Bob; she had not yet told even him about her plan. "First, I suppose, I'll serve my month on the School Safety Patrol; and then--then, I'm going to talk to my teacher about starting Safety Games in the lower grades." "Safety Games!" Bob's tone showed his surprise. "Yes, Bob. Funny sounding idea, isn't it? But I've thought out a lot of games that the kindergarten children can play, games that will be brand new to them, and lots of fun, and at the same time will get them into the habit of thinking Safety and looking out for themselve
