Pinched Again

The saddest words of, tongue or
pen are these, Tive just been
pinched again." In these fierce days
when every man must have some
sort of bus or van, when traffic laws
are multiplied until we bust some
open wide. no matter how we strive
and strain to line up with the safe
and sane, we hear the best and
noblest men complaining, We've
been pinched again!" The reckless
drivers get away, to hog the road
some other day; the speed hends
leave a trail Of smoke. and think
the traffic law a joke; but fat old
bards who cut a wart are handed
justice by the quart; the village par
son drives along. and haply makes
a signal wrong, his mind intent, on
hymn and text-the speed cop tells
him he is next. Some woman parks
her Lizzie fine perhaps two inches
out of line, and when she to her bus
returns, white anger in her bosom
burns. For she is tagged and must
repair to court and dig up doubloons
there: Some doctor, .called te> feed
his pills to one who's perishing OF
chills. is stopped and dragged away
to Jail and fined all sorts of fancy
kale; and while he in his dungeon
lies, his chills-and-fever patient dies.
And while the safe and sane are
pinched, the delegates who should
be lynched, the road hogs and the
hends Of speed, get by with all their
vice and greed.

A bus ride into the heart of Zoo
logical Park for cents will be pos

would operate Saturdays. Sundays and

Washingtonians who do not own
automobiles could avoid the hike of
approximately mile by obtaining a
two-cent transfer from the Mount
Pleasant cars of the company. Com
ing out of the Zoo. passengers would
pay a token on the bus and receive a
transfer to the street cars.
The company does not believe the
volume of traffic would warrant run

cials feel the service would prove a
real convenience at week ends and on
holidays. The company also has asked
the approval of the Smithsonian In
stitution, which controls the park.

gagged in the soliciting of policies
should pay the SIS license fee required
by law.

tory of the proposed new insurance
