Dime Novels

I've toiled since day was break
ing, I'm tired and broksn-kneed, and
all my heart is aching for some
thing good to read-a good old
fashioned story that has a decent
kick, wherein the heroes CORY make
all the villains sick. l want no
weary pages dissecting human souls.
no works by bogus sages, no plot
less rigmaroles. l drop my thread
and needle, dump my checkeboard.
and think of good old Beadle, whose
books l once adored. The heroes
hunted red men along the forest
aisles, and left gross of dead men
all corded up in piles. The red men
caught the heroes. and bound them
to the stake. and. like SO many
Neroes. decreed that they should
bake. These tales were not demand
ing a strain. to comprehend; ten
cent understanding could grasp them
to the end! Though full of scrap
and quarrel, and corpses on the ice.
they all were strictly moral, and
virtue conquered vice. And there
was always action that kept man
awake, and gave him satisfaction,
and soothed his inward ache. And
there were love and spooning. and
moonshine in the air, and lovely
damsels swooning, and palfreys here
and there. New authors come and
wheedle. and say their works are
great. but how I yearn for Beadle
whose books are out of date!

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, December 29.-The
proposed amendment to the agricul-
viding for automobile reciprocity be-
tween Maryland and the District Of
Columbia will not be passed, accord
ing to a statement made yesterday by
Chairman John n. Mackall OF the
state roads commission. Mr.. Mackall
feels that Senator's France and Weller
will be able to defeat the measure
when it comes up for vote.
When asked whether he would on
list the services Of various civic
bodies in Maryland to fight the amend
not think this necessary.
Il feel confident" he said. that
the amendment will never pass. Sen
ator Weller. l know, is opposed to the
measure. and Senator France has al
ways voted against 1t before.
Gas Tax Favored.
Mr.. AIackall said that the question
of reciprocity between this state and
the District was being worked out
through the medium of uniform
gasoline tax.
IF the District levies a tax of ,
cents per gallon on all gasoline sold
within her borders. the same as Mary
land. then 1 think the state will re-
ceive as much revenue as it does
through licensing District of Colnm-
bia cars"
f. Austin Baughman. commi ssioner
of motor vehicles. favors the idea Of
a uniform gasoline tax. but suggests
that 1t would be also advisable to
have uniform motor laws III both
state and District.
The Maryland laws governing auto
mobiles, are regarded as among the
best in the United States. and Com
missioner Baughman said that about
ten other states had or were framing
laws based on those in force here.
Licenses Much Higher.
Although Maryland is now working
on a system of lower license fees. its
in the District. II reciprocity would
be established on the basis of a gaso-
line tax alone. Marylanders. under
the present existing laws in the Dis
trict. could procure license there
cheaper and with less trouble.
Motorists living in the District are
not required to carry registration
police have experienced some trouble
in proving titles to cars whose drit-
ers have violated state laws. 1t was
pointed out that the laws governing
an:i-glare headlight devices also
would have to be identical
Unless similar laws were in force
in both state and District, it was

DUBLIN. Aug. ID (By The Associated
Press) Thousand of his fellow coun-
trymen, for whose freedom he fought,
for whose emancipation he gave his
life, viewed the body of Arthur Grif-
fifth as it lay in state in the City Hall
to-day directly under the statue of
Parnell, whose uplifted arm seems to
be raised in benediction. Griffith lived
to see the promised land Of Irish free
dom, but was not fated to enter it;
Parnell was cut down with his work
still unfinished.
The Free State leader, weakened by
his ceaseless labor for the Irish cause,
went to his end martyr to that cause,
and now rests in simple mahogany
coffin guarded by four Free State SOL
diers. Grouped around the rotunda
where the body lies are marble statues
of some of the notable men in Irish
history-Cash Drummond, the English
Under Secretary, whom Irishmen al
ways found sympathetic in their CEN
tury old struggle for liberty: Mac
Carthy, the famous Irish poet, and
others.
Patiently the great multitude formed
line stretching for several blocks,
waiting their turn to pass the coffin

and pay silent tribute. Men, women
and children, even mothers with babies
in arms, all paused beside the bier to
say short prayer for Arthur Griffith.
Some of them even uttered prayers for
ireland.
Until Tuesday evening the body will
lie in state. 1t then will be borne to
the Pro-Cathedral, where solemn
requiem mass will be said by the Arch
bishop of Dublin Wednesday morning
The funeral procession will proceed to

place of SO many eminent Irishmen
Mr.. Collins will leave the battle area
and come to Dublin to pay personal
tribute to his colleague.
All Dublin is discussing the state
ment made by Mr.. Collins to-day, it
being regarded as bid for cannon de
Valera's assistance to come forward
and abandon the civil warfare and unite
in the common cause Of building up
the Irish Free State.
Mr. Griffith's death places heavy
burden on the shoulders of Collins.
He has made it clear, however, he will
not give up direction Of the army until
all trouble is ended, saying: "This Job
will be carried out to the best Of my

Wasn't Hot Yesterday,
Weather Man Insists

Every one in town yesterday thought
it was hot except the weather man. He
said it was just an average day and
that people are getting spoiled by cool
weather and deserve bad heat spell
for calling him up so much to find out
whether they had any excuse for sun
stroke or heat prostration. Apparently
he wished it was 1872. when the ther-
mometer got up to 80 on August Ia.
The weather man didn't know any
thing about the heat in the suh-.y or
the quick lunch rooms on Park Row.
He sat in the breezes that blow up from
the lower bay. and tho best temper
atIre his thermometer showed was 80
at 8 in tho afternoon. Perhaps people
had right to kick about the humidity
at in the morning, he said, for it was
81 then, but the temperature was only
so at that hour. And the hotter it grew
during the day the less humid the at
mosphere became.
Anyhow, 81 is the highest the mercury
has gone this month, though it hit that
mark twice before yesterday Au.
gust 81 and 6.
