THE question of traffic regulations in
= this city is little like the question
of coal 1t has been ignored and evaded
and postponed until it has grown to be
an almost intderable complication.
Everybody in authority has preferred
to leave the work of solution to some
body else.
The Christmas season opens today in
the shopping districts, and the police
will have to deal with unprecedented
tides of traffic because this happens to
be the first normal holiday season of
years. We are likely to have early proof
of the necessity for an immediate en-
largement of the traffic squad, and some
system by which at least part of the
heavy vehicle traffic can be diverted
from parrow and busy thoroughfares
for the sake of safety, comfort and
general efficiency.

A BRILLIANT APPOINTMENT

TN THE appointment of DR.. C. Lincoln
Furbush as director of health, Mayor
elect Moore has risen to his opportu-
mites.
The post is one of the most important
in the municipal cabinet, and it is not
enough merely to make respectable"
selection. An experienced, scientifically
well-equipped and energetic physician
at the head of the Department of Health
is capable of Transforming living condi-
tions in this city.
That Doctor Furbush will prove an
official of this type is not to be ques-
toned. His scholarly attainments have
been seasoned by years of ripening
value in the army and especially in as
sociation with General Gorgas in the
war against yellow fever.
1t is impossible that a physician, sea
soned as Doctor Furbush has been, and
endowed with broad vision, should act
or think in his new role otherwise than
constructively.
The field in Philadelphia is capable of
the most fruitful tilling. Doctor Fur
bush knows a great deal about miasmic
sWamps in the tropics. AS he assisted
in solving formidable problems in Cuba,
in Salvador and Guatemala, there is
every reason to believe that he will de-
vote expert attention to the wide
stretches of mosquito-breeding marshes
below Skunk street
The "Neck" is disease-fostering
archaism. With proper sanitation and
drainage new development of the city
should be possible in that now oozy
area.
Moreover. the rigid application of
principles nt modern health supervision
in all its aspects will mean whole
community of which the citizens should
be proud. 1t is vastly encouraging to
forecast physical cleanup as a sequel
to the political purging in the last mu-
nicipal election.
The appointment is untainted by poli-
tics in the unsavory sense. It reflects
Mr.. Moore's ambition to choose the most
suitable aides in administering CITY
affairs.

Bulgaria signed with the Allies and

THE GRAND OLD TOPIC

4 a NYBODY who happens to be familiar
with the workings of the Washing
ton mind will be willing to wager a
weeks salary that fervid outburst of
oratory dealing with the Mexican trou-
bic will not be long delayed after to-
days rollcall for the regular session
Mexico is the grand old topic. 1t is a
subject upon which anybody may talk
vaguely without much fear of being
seriously questioned. 1t invites verbal
demonstrations of pride and patriotism.
And the Mexicans have no friends.
They do not deserve any. Mexico is
like Russia. 1t is an international nuis-
ance. We. may have to intervene and
certainly we shall intervene if justice
and honor actually demand that trouble
some alternative. We shall have to have
an enlarged army if the job is to be
properly done. The air service of the
army and navy will have to be greatly
expanded, though Congress has just re-
fused to give the airmen money for
their routine work. The draft would
have to be put in operation if we wished
to avoid great delays. Pacifcation of
Mexico, according to the most conserva-
tive estimates, would require about three
years.
Congressman will make great many
brave speeches about the Mexican crisis.
Only when they take the trouble to in
form their hearers of the hard and prac-
teal requirements of an intervention
program can we be sure that they are
neither ignorant nor insincere.

dedicated to, the Church Of ALI Nation
I'VE travelled far in many lands;
4 The open road I've trod
And through the devious ways of men
I've searched with them for God.
The ancients worshiped in their groves
The God enthroned afar;
He comes to some in paths of peace,
To some in flaming war.
Before the Buddha some men bow,
Some love the Nazarene.
The Mystic feels Presence near.
Although no form is seen
On desert sands the vision comes,
AS men turn toward the East.
In fasting some men see His face;
Some find Him at the feast.
In temple. mosque, cathedral dim,
Through vigil, chant and prayer,
Wherever man cries out to God
The Living God is t<ere.
Wherever man has fought for right,
Where man for man has died;
Beside him stands, could we but see,
One that was cruciied.
Alone have communed with Him
Beneath a starlit sky,
And / have touched His garment hem
Where crowds go surging by.
And this I've learned in all my search
Under the shining sun;
The name and form are naught 10 God,
To Him all shrines are one.
