TOO LATE TO AVOID REPUBLICAN Split PARTY LEADERS FE
Traffic Cop Puts Bee
On Presidents
Secretary

Strange is his name and he
may look the part, but he isn't
strange to traffic regulations.
Aforesaid Strange is a cop
and not awed by great big men
or near great ones. He proved
this today whelf he refused to
permit George B. Christian, IT.,
secretary to the President, to
to have anything on common
people.
The secretary's car, a nice,
new vehicle, swept through
Madison place and the chauf-
feur attempted to honk his way
around "no-turn" corner, but
Strange said nay,
There were arguments about
the distinguished occupant, but.
no avail. The car went right
along in the wake of others.
