NEW REROUTING
PLAN CALLS FOR
HEAVY OUTLAY
Provides for Series of Loops
and Through Operation of
Some Lines.
CORNERS BOB UP AGAIN

Plans for a new downtown street
car routing system, the chief feature
of which are the turning of some
avenue lines, the running of others
around the Ohio, Illinois, Washing
ton and Pennsylvania street loops
and the operation of straight north
and south and east and west lines
directly through the business dis
trict on Washington, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois streets, We're made
at meeting of the city council COM
mittee on street car re-routing with
the subcommittee of experts to-
day.
The plan, like others that have
been proposed, can not be carried
out until track changes are made
at several downtown corners, neces-
sit ating the expenditure Of from
$4,000 to 100000 by the street rail-
way company. The company re-
peatedly has said that it has no
money.
According to Gustav G. Schmidt, chair
man OF the council committee il is pro
posed TO have five loops. The cars which
now come into the business district over
the four avenues, would. in general, use
loops one block square, which would have
one corner resting at the point where
the avenue ends. For instance, ears com
ing I'm over Indiana avenue would loop
through Capitol avenue Ohio street. Iii
nois and New York streets. Virginia ave
hue cars probably would turn over Mary
land. Pennsylvania, Washington and
Delaware streets.
HOW THEY PROPOSE
TO HANDLE TRANSFERS.
In order TO get transfer passengers
from one terminus loop to another
few Of the avenue cars would be routed
around the big loop as outlined above
The straight north and south and east
and west line such as Illinois. Penn
sylvania, South Meridian, East Wash
ington and West Washington probably
would be arranged so as to 90 straight
through the business district. Some
might be Joined so as to make through
crosstOwn lines. II was considered par
ticularly probable that ONE East and
West Washington cars would run from
Irvington 10 Mt Jackson under such a
system.

Still an Issue

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter of William P Emo
in to-day's issue strikes the right note
in regard to this Internal issue called
prohibition. 1t is sensible, we'll bal
enced and timely. Mr.. Bryan an
nounced one year ago that prohibition
had disappeared as an issue in this
country Mr. Bryan, as usual, was
wrong - prohibition has become an
acute and serious issue.
Real Americans are sick at heart
when they realize what this issue has
brought upon them. They cannot fol-
low the course of the fanatics, yet
they realize also that they cannot have
the return of the old conditions. They
would welcome anything which would
sensibIy take care of this important
problem.

sense Americans, for the time being,
should be Sim Feiners.

Smoking

The shades of Sir Walter Raleigh
and Queen Victoria should be sum
moned to Washington and made to
appear before Congress when Rep
resentative Johnson's bill against
smoking by women comes up. Sir
| Walter at least might be able to
throw some light on the subject.
Lytton Strachey, in his Victoria
recently published, says about smok-
ing that SO long as she lived the
great Queen would not withdraw
her anathema against it. Kings
might protest; bishops and ambassa-
doris, invited to Windsor, might be
reduced, in the privacy of their bed
rooms, to lie full-length on the floor
and smoke up the chimney-the In
terdict continued"
Victoria's edict was directed
against men. But even in her day
the habit had begun among women.
10 Margaret Asqulth the Master Of
Ballot wrote: "The Symonds girls
at Davos told me that you smoked !;
at which am shocked, because it is
not the manner of young ladies in
England"
Smoking among women, if we may
judge from observation, appears to
be growing more common, though
many men who smoke themselves de-
plore the fact. In spite of passionate
denunciations the practice develops.
To the assertion it does physical
harm the pert answer is returned,
'Who would live forever" Never
theless it may be predicted reac-
ton will come-not on the score of
morals, or by law, but because snaok-
ing is smelly and dirty.

Rights I!

That the mother has equal rights
with the father in the custody OF
children has just been reaffirmed by
the Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court at Rochester. While
the court admitted that under the
early Roman law the power of the
father was absolute it declares
that "by statute and by constitu-
tional amendment in this country the
disabilities of coverture have been
largely removed Or, to put it more
simply, that women are now able to
act and think for themselves equally
with men.
But, as matter of fact. has
either father or mother any rights?
What parental function remains ex-
cept to pay the bills? A few mo-
ments after he is born the average
baby is seized by dietetic experts
and opponents of the higher infan-
tile culture. His food is prescribed
by specialists, nearby clinical labora-
tories supervise his daily routine,
and if he survives until the mature
age of four or five he is promptly
put into the kindergarten hopper and
thereafter taught" by our public
school system. Meanwhile the
movies" pull him one way and
other allurements of highly organ
lied civilization pull him another,
/ while a host of paternal sporting in
situations, more or less disciplinary,
prescribe for him their various for
mulas.
The helpless parents, if they are
fortunate enough to be philosophers,
throw up their hands early in the
game, resign themselves to the in
evitable, and trust to Providence and
the authorities to pull their hapless
offspring through.

Bringing the Ships Back

President Harding and Secretary
Hughes, with respect to the desira-
bility of the presence of American
warships at Tampico, seem in dis
agreement with Secretary DENLY.
Mr.. DENLY suddenly dispatched them
under broad orders, but this action
brought back unpleasant memories
of Vera Cruz and the Wilson Ad-
sninistration, and they are ordered
home. Happening at a time when
prospects of final settlement of the
differences between this country and
Mexico were still alive, it was dis
quoting to all who hoped for peace
to feel that some ill-considered or
der, some hasty decision, might COM
plieate conditions.
With admirable calmness Mr..
Hughes sees the dangers to the
friendly relations of America with
Mexico and the Latin republics by a
hasty show of force. The Latin
American countries are so prone to
imagine and suspect that it is un-
wise to excite them by doing first
that which, if done at all, should be
done last. America most earnestly
desires peace with Mexico. Those
who talk intervention do not express
the sentiments Of the American peo-
pie and jeopardize satisfactory set
tlement.
The whole matter, as will be seen.
may be prudently left to the State
Department. 1t can be relied on to
see that grave injustice is not done
to American citizens abroad. But,
happily, Mr.. Hughes is of the tenn
per Of those who think our rights
can be maintained without hector
ing or provocative course. Firmness
and justice are two characteristics
that have animated recent diplo-
matte statements of our government.
These two qualities, coupled with
q judicious forbearance, obviously
dominate the views Of Mr.. Hughes
with respect to Mexico.
By withdrawing the warships he
has shown his willingness to resolve
doubts in favor of President Obre-
gon, and gives him a chance to pro-
tect in his own way the lives of for
eigners in Mexico. 1t must be hun1il-
iating to the head Of the Navy De-
partment to have his action thus
sunmarily reversed, but it is to be
hoped that he will be more disposed
in the future to consult in advance
Before issuing important orders and
not plunge in when eg parte appeals
are made to him.

The Loan to the Carriers

Secretary Melons plan to loan
the railroads 100000 at interest
pending the settlement of their
claims against the government has
been criticized in the Senate as "an-
other gift to the railroads." This is
cheap humor The advance is not in
any sense a gift. The Treasury is
TO place it's own funds at higher
rate of interest than it is paying on
certificates of Indebtedness. 1t will
profit eventually by the transaction.
Yet the Treasury is not playing
banker to the carriers merely for the
sake of this profit. The loan is to be
made as matter of broad public
policy. Transportation is one of the
key industries. When it is depressed
other industries slow down and suf
fer. The carriers are enormous pur-
chasers. Many of them have had to
quit buying supplies because they
have no cash in their lockers, and
can't even pay their outstanding
bills. 1t is to the interest Of the
country generally to break the indus
trial jam which has resulted. If the
railroads can settle their accounts
with the railroad supply makers that
will help greatly in getting the
wheels of industry going again.
The Wilson Administration oper-
alton of the railroads was series of
grotesque blunders. The transporta-
ton system was nearly wrecked by a
deliberate effort to run it below cost.
The public still has hundreds of mil
lions to pay for the follies of the
Federal railroad dictatorship. The
roads have legal claims for damages
beyond the amount of their guaran-
teed rentals, and the wise thing for
the government to do is to adjust
those claims in a way that will re-
vive business most quickly.
The Treasury isn't going to make
any gifts to the railroads. In the
end the carriers probably will re-
ceive less than their just dues. They
will be losers, not gamers, through
government operation. The trans
portation act Of 1929 contemplated :
return to the roads bm government

Long Island Aridity
Prohibition Observed To Be Social
and financial Asset

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l have just finished tour OF
Long Island which I make every year
Both by observation and inquiry I tried
to ascertain how prohibition was work
ing in this section of the state. The
liquor traffic, which did g. lucrative
business here for many years, is gradu-
ally shriveling up. Many road houses,
which were only disguised saloons.
have gone out of business. The repu-
table hotel business Of the island has
not been damaged.
One Long Island town is character
istic. 1t formerly had nine saloons.
These are now gone and have been
replaced by different kinds of bust
ness. The moral and social tone Of
the village has been elevated In
another town one banker testified that
more money was deposited in the
banks than ever before. He said some
of these depositors were surprise to
him. They were men never known to
have money in banks before. The
saloons formerly got all their wages
In another village. with a large
colored population, the number of
colored depositors was commented on.
One school principal said the children
were better clothed and better cared
for since prohibition came In the
old saloon days many of these chill
dren had shoes furnished them by the
village trustees. Now the parents can
buy the shoes and the merchant gets
the money. A grocer testified that
his trade was never better. Besides, he
said, persons were now promptly pay
ing bills who previous to prohibition
were either slow or never paid This
man is not a member of a church or
a fanatic. He is a shrewd business
man who knows a good business prop
position when he sees it.. More might
be said, but this is sufficient TO show
that prohibition is a social and fnan-
cial asset A. D. BACHELOR.

The Blight Of DanieIsism

But history gives US another example
of the blight of Danielsism. About
twelve years ago the French navy was
again brought to the brink of complete
disaster under the rule of a Socialist
Minister of Marine, Pelletan His
reign was a deadly parallel to that of
Daniels. He, too, discredited comba-
tant officers, played politics, appealed
to democracy" undermined discipline,
invited tale-bear.ng and anonymous re-
ports, throttied ability. rewarded rnedi-
ocrity and bred servility. He dealt a
blow to the efficiency OF the French
navy similar to that in 1875 described
by Mahan, from which it has not yet
fully recovered.
A French writer describes Pelletan s
system as follows:

The representatives of the five Re
publican county organizations, hav
ing concluded that it is impolitic to
count election eggs until they are
hatched, will join on Wednesday in
practical labors to bring together
INTO one body the largest possible
number of anti Tammany votes. One
obstacle to a successful coalition is
removed. The conferences touching
candidates and platform are to be
free and with nothing preiudged.
The city's voters are greatly inter
ested in securing good government
and but little in substituting one
partisan management for another.
Hence the present is no time to
stress straightness. Submit the
issue to the Harding voters alone
and there is no doubt that the YER
dict would be for campaign for
good government, with the help Of
all who would help most welcome.
All the indications are that the
candidate selected to lead will hap
pen to be personally Republican.
This will not be by design, but be-
cause this time there is a lack of
conspicuous eigibles among the in
dependents and the independent
Democrats. There is no need to dis
pute ever niceties of procedure.
Vita the moral support of non
Republican eoalitionists and the ac-
tive support Of the Republican or

conference should be able to get by
the primaries. Messrs. Bennett and
La Guardia are accused of mixing

to face the question of whether they
have a right to persist in their can
didacies against an overwhelming
opinion that their activities will as

one hurdle. 1t is probable that it will
also surmount the Bennett-La Guar

Care Of Ex-Service Patients

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; At time when national atten-
tion is being focused on the treatment
of ex-service men in government and
contract hospitals throughout the coun-
try and disgraceful conditions are be-
ing brought to lighr, in justice to the
excellent institution under whose care
we are, we feel in duty bound to tell
the whole wide world that there is one
place in these United States, at least,
where ex-service men are getting prop
cr medical treatment, amid beautiful
surroundings. and the most human and
courteous care, and that place is Tru-
deau Sanatorium. New York
The only regrettable fact is that
under the contract the number of ex-
service men is limited to twenty five
and to those whose physical condition
comes within the medical limits laid
down by the sanator!um medical staff
There is always a long waiting list.

What Flavor, Please

For the we'll timed discovery that
the human body is a walking ice
cream soda we are indebted to DR..
Woods Hutchinson, writing in The
Ladies Home Journal. Five gallons
of water, with little hzz and flavor,
is all that the most august of US
amount to, and, it may be added, all
that the most ambitious desire to be
in this weather.
Water in great cool glassfuls, with
meals and between, all you can
drink, to the amount of three gallons
a day, is recommended by the doctor.
'sThese floods and showers of life
giving water are veritable thunder
storms, in that they are accompanied
by lightning" he writes, with a
slight change of the figure of speech.
"For our latest tantalizing glimpse
of living matter suggests that it is
the backward and forward play of
electrical currents through the fluids
of our body batteries that makes the
wonder we call life. incidentally, in
connection with this fact, the gallons
of air which are called for in the
graphic recipe for making the hu-
man body are most significant, for it
is dissolved through the FIVE buckets
of water almost as the fizz is in soda
water. In fact, we are in one sense
ice cream sodas in human shape,
which may perchance account for
our fervid family affection for
them"
The only help needed by our pri-
vate soda clerk is in the selection of
the flavor. Do you prefer to be a
peach or strawberry soda?

fruits and berries are necessary be-
cause they supply those life-giving

wants peace-wants it more than a
