Letters to the Editor
THE SIGNS, TOO

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Sir: The unsightly poles are coming
down. Good! But what of the over
head signs? Why not make a real
clear-up while we're at it?
These hideous, creaking things, that
hang menacingly over the heads of the
passing populace, and occasionally in
high winds come Gathering down, as
several did last week-isn't there city
ordinance prohibiting them?
If there Is such a law. why don't the
police enforce it? If not. why don't the
new Councilmen pass one?
The overhead swinging sign is a
relic of village days. 1t Is barred from
all well-regulated cities.

CLARK AND BRYAN

PEAKER CHAMP CLARK is no,
falling over himself in an effort
~ to bring about harmony between
himself and the Secretary OF
State, who is still regarded by the
Speaker and his friends as the one
individual who stood between Clark
and the Presidency. In public state
ment as to why he declined to attend
dinner at which Secretary Bryan
was to be present, Speaker Clark in
dicated pretty clearly that even among
distinguished Democrats at Washing
ton there is a sentiment favorable to
the cessation Of attacks upon business
Among other things he said:
The people, of the country are not
interested to any considerable ex-
tent about dinners in Washington,
but they are interested very much
as to what Congress does and when
1t does 1t, and am trying my best
to expedite business so that we can
get away from here before the frost
flies next Fall and give the country
a rest. That is a good policy for
both the country and the Demo-
cratic party.

The correspondent transmitted a
thrilling story of the operations OF a

the report that four were killed and

Among the killed was "A seven

The note was taken by two Amer

rebel lines under a flag Of truce to
Obregon's headquarters.
The protest was successful and the
aviator ceased his operations. The
bomb dropping was described as fol-
lows by the correspondent:
'I witnessed the dropping of
