WHEAT DIRECTOR
APPROVES PLAN

New York, Dec. 21.-Approval Of
the plan urged by Herbert Hoover TO
supply food to Central Europe on
credit by using the capital of the Unit
eo states Grain corporation was an
nounced tonight by Julius II. Barnes,
president of the corporation, and Unit
ed States wheat director. The pro
hts or the corporation are quite ma
terlal. Mr.. Barnes explained, and
might "well be interested in such hu-
manitarian relief"
me wheat director added that in
stead Of losing 81 900 900 in discharp-
ing the pledge of guaranteed price
to the wheat producer, as had been cx-
pected, lit is very improbable that the
national treasury will nave any loss
whatever from that source. He sug-
Eested mat congress authorize the
loan OF $1O0,000.000 or 5000 900 900 of
this amount in support of the Hoover
plan.

of work from Burton f. Stevenson the
European representative of the Amer

Swamped

well, possibly the fifth on his "fve-
a-day" schedule.
He found there a negro chauf-
feur, who, he said, failed to put out
his hand when making the turn onto
the bridge. But the negro came to
court with a young lawyer wearing a
pointed collar. among other neces-
sites Of attire, and this student Of
Blackstone proceeded to tie the roam
ing traffic officer into conversational
knots. 1t seemed that the traffic
divided to go over the bridge; that
the machines on the left always fol
lowed the runway, and that to stick
out the hand was a matter of motive
supererogation.
Really, the six-foot traffic officer
didn't have a chance with the boy
in the pointed collar.
Whatever the result of the present
'fve-a-day" drive upon motorists, it
is q fact that the Mulberry Street
traffic court is being clogged with
cases that bear only indirectly upon
the safeguarding of the public.
1t might almost be claimed that in
his escritoire in Mulberry Street
Justice House has letters from
gentlemen Of an inventive turn of
mind that, were their suggestions
acted upon, might solve the matter
Of safety with greater facility than
an inspired campaign executed by
precinct patrolmen.
One there is who has q contri-
vance which, attached to the front
Of the car, telescopes when the ma
chine hits anything, and thus the
pedestrian instead of being run over
finds himself sitting in comfort

been hit. The inventor does not add
that there should be a magazine and
a reading lamp handy so the sub
ject Of the accident could wholly
enjoy himself. Another has sug-
gested a periscope affair by which
traffic officer standing at Broad
way and Seventy-second Street can
detect speed offender at Amster-
dam Avenue and 10th Street, cal

Tony paid.
This may be one of the reasons
why 1t was deemed advisable to
paint the side walls in the pen
where offenders who choose to do a
jail sentence rather than pay fine
wait until the patrol wagon calls
for them, in dark colors. Originally
the walls were alabaster, or as
alabaster as anything is around
Mulberry Street. But one day Jus
tice House happened to visit the
pen" and upon the walls he per
ceived multitudinous expressions of
personal regards that had been writ
ten by offenders who had decided to
stay rather than pay. The walls
were then painted a dark brown.

~ AME laws in this country
" aim TO establish a maxi
~ mum which the hunter
may not safely exceed.
Thus in Michigan and Wisconsin a
man may bag two deer, n the ex-
massive Northwest a limited num-
her Of the moose and caribou
families, and so on.
It has remained for New York
city to reverse this universal for
mula of the maximum. A Fifth
Avenue traffic officer on special de-
tachment, or regular precinct
parrolman, is instructed, let US as
sumo, to net not less than five
metropolitan motorists to eight
working hours. Thereby the mini
mum is substituted for a maximum
and the local automobile driver has
feeling that he is accorded some
what less protection than a brook
trout.
Since that mysterious order came
out of, let US assume, the labyrinth
of police sanctums, instructing
patrolmen to serve at least five
motorists to the day and on as
many different scores as possible,
the traffic courts at 800 Mulberry
Street have been swamped with
business Magistrate Fred B. House
said to the writer the other day:
This thing is travesty. The laws
which safeguard life are those ap-
pertaining to speeding, turning
corners, reckless driving and fail
ing to pass surface cars correctly.

Those I have had have nothing to

Those Choufeurs

The professional chauffeur gets
scant sympathy in Mulberry Street
these days. "Crashing in" or
freezing out" on public hack stands
are regrettable incidents which cost
the "crasher' and the freezer"
enything from 81 up.
Tony is an Italian who owns and
operates one taxicab. According to
Tony he was innocently waiting for
a Pittsburgh steel magnate to come
out Of a hotel hard by when the
officer told him that he constituted
the sixth automobile on fve-car
hackstand. This was news to Tony,
indeed. He swore by Garibaldi and
as far back as Marcus Aurelius that
he was the fifth machine on the

heir O,cn Behalf

The motor cops are usually ex-
pert prosecuting attorneys in their
own behalf. These jaunty human
rockets in khaki have a way of ex-
planning that their speedometers
were tested on the morning of the
arrest in a manner that is thorough
ly discouraging to the offender. They
are motor and street wise, and
always can tell whether the traffic
was light, medium or heavy" on
any stated occasion.
Not so the precinct patrolman.
Yet since this secret order, let us
assume, has gone out they are ex-
pected to be versed in the vernac-
ular of cylinders and traffic.
How was the condition of
traffic." Magistrate House asked
one.
Good replied the patrolman.
Il mean was it light, medium or
heavy?" continued the justice.

the patrolman with gestures.

world. 1t is important. The de-
PENDANTS will pay IS apiece or go
to jail for two days.
Chief Magistrate McAdoois going
about this business in quite a seri-
Gus way.
Failure to display a chauffeur's
badge, improper number plates, i'm
proper rear lights, swinging num-
Der plates, violation of the hack
ordinance are all dangerous, are
potentially so, or are thought to be
potentially so, and should be dealt
with accordingly. 1t was the Chief
Magistrate who said something
some time back about the matter
Of "vehicular illusiveness" and the
Importance of both pedestrians and
drivers keeping alert. About two
weeks after the Chief Justices dis
covery of the theory of "vehicular
lIlusiveness" an automobile on
Staten Island came along and ran
over the chief magisterial left
foot.
This incident is sufficient to
prove that even excessive care and
the best developed of theories are
not able to prevent the occasional
accident in which there is so much
of the human equation that it is
difficult to see how the matter of a
swinging number plate affects the
situation. Still, man can be, nav.
is, pinched for that.

FOR THE YANKEES
Federal Board for Vocational
Education Proves Hymen-
cal Clearing House

Uncle sam has one Of the largest
matrimonial bureaus in the world, al
though he did not intend to bring the
lovelorn together when he established
The Federal Board Tor Vocational Edu-
cation
The purpose Of the Government was
TO re-edWate war-dsabled men so that
they might become useful citizens That
purpose rapidly Is becoming an accom-
plished fact II remained for the re-
sourceful Yank to figure out the details
OF the matrimonial bureau, and he has
been as thorough I'm this as he was in
whipping the Germans.
To the single man who Is admitted to
the training provided by the Federal
BOARD for Vocational Education, an al
lowance Of $50 a month is made. To
the married man without children, an
allowance Of Sii5 a month is made. That
explains the wherefore OF the matri-
monial bureau.
Just as soon as the disabled men learn
they will be admitted to training, they
report with the news that they have
a wife. In almost every case where
any examination is made it Is discov-
cred the wife is really blushing bride
of a few days or few hours. In all
cases the wife has become such al
most Immediately after the applicant
for training has received the indorse-
ment of the chief rehabilitation officer
What does the Government do about
itg What would you do2 Just take
that resourceful Yank by the hand, in
vite him and his bride to make them
selves at home and give him the benefit
OF every ounce Of re-education he can
take
