Man, the Hamo Sapiens of creation important over that which is unim- portant to anyone but himself. So then that is the reason there is so much striving to be notcied in some way and the reason why we feel so big over nothing at all save that which dwells in our own imaginations

FOUR REGISTERED MAIL
POUCHES SPIRITED AWAY
Kankakee Baggage Room Robbery
Includes Sacks Just Taken OF
Train From Chicago.

By the Associated Press.
KANKAKEE, ILL.,, March -Four
registered mail pouches. each filled to
capacity and believed to contain only
registered mail, were stolen from the
Illinois Central baggage room early
today.
The mail sacks had been taken
from south bound train No. 5, from
Chicago. Phillip Gatchett and Peter
n. Smith. local baggagemen, placed
the pouches in the baggage room,
locking the door after them as they
returned to the train for other mail
sacks, they said today. When they
returned a few minutes later the
pouches were missing.
p. E. Lee, another baggageman, said
he saw two men sitting in an automobile
across the street from the station just
before the robbery became known. .Po-
lice believe that a third man entered
the baggage room earlier In the day
and hiding behind some baggage es-
caped with the mail when the two bag
eaRemen left the room.

WashingtOnians pay enough taxes to
have their streets in good repair, and we

Jones rider. and substitute something
little more equitable and fair to the Dis

project that came up for the District
would be turned down because the gov

of the District. The chairman Of our

Weller. and other engineers did much
to convince the Senators of the abso-
Lutte necessity of speedy action on this
matter. I only hope that matters can
be pushed so that Washington can be
relieved from this imminent danger Of
water famine.
IF you will remember. this is a
matter that the board has been ham,
mering on for years, and although 1t
will take some four or five years to
bring to completion. even when the
work is started, there. is a great deal
of satisfaction in the fact that Con-
