To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Indifferent and careless automobile
operators have now begun to demol-
ish the beautiful shade trees OF our
grand city. They, seem to be doing
this as a sort Of diversion from long
practiced habit of manning and de-
stroying human lives, which Is mat
ter of little, or no consequence ac-
cording to the ideas of the average
automobile operator and the decisions
given in most cases In our courts of
Justice. But Mr.. Editor. we must
have shade in summer for the few
who aforesaid operators permit TO
live and sometime walk our streets,
and we must also have light partial.

city from being destroyed at night.

Get Sufficient Amount For Ships
To Give Bonus.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
At present there Is a great deal OF
discussion as to the proposed legisla-
ton that will give bonus to the ex-
service men. Would 1t be entirely out
of order to suggest that instead of
giving away our merchant ships
we're hearing so much about and
which have been taken over by this
country, they be sold for an amount
sufficient to cover the amount that
would be NEEDED to give every man his
$50 per month, thus relieving the Gov.
ernment of the embarrassment Of an
other bonus?
To what better end could these
ships be put than to reward the men
who offered their all in assisting this
country to come into their possession!

"it was not foreseen by the

proposition I am frank to de.
