Liquor From New York Being Trans ported to Movie Colony, Accord
 ing To Reports

Los Angeles. Nov. 22.-Gurgling noises emanating from packing case ostensibly containing only silent film dramas, which led to the arrest yes- terday Of Joseph W. Engle. senior president of the Metro Pictures corporation. today found their echo in federal investigation Of asserted wholesale attempts to ship liquor from New York 10 Hollywood in preparation for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
 Englc was arraignod before United States Commissioner stephen c. Long late yesterday on a charge of violat- ing the national prohibition law after federal agents had found that a large packing case marked films" and ad- dressed to him contained many thous- ands Of dollars worth Of bonded li- quor. He denied all knowledge Of the shipment and expressed tho belief that some bootlegger was endeavor- ing to get his wares shipped into Hol- lywood without arousing suspicion by the simple cxpediont Of using a film officials name as consignee. He was released on s2.no0 bail.
 Federal authorities declared that the arrival of "a big box from New York" had been anticipated in certain Hollywood circles and indicated that other 'big boxes" might be seized soon.

DUMPING GROUNDS

i The raising of the question as tC ! the possible elimination of the Farm ! ington avenue dumping ground
 brought up at the session of the com i mon council last evening, suggests thu
 menace to the city caused by many l unofficial dumping grounds springine up in places where they do great 1 deal of material harm. not only to the attractivencss of the city, but to pro-
 perty values as well.
 II should be thoroughly understood that no person has a right to dump tin cans or other waste material on
 the property of another without per mission. no matter how many other
 tin cans have been dumped on that
 property in the past. And this is be-
 ing done. The expert on zoning who
 addressed a gathering in the com
 mon council chamber recently, com
 plimented the city on the fact that, as yet, there were not many dump
 heaps" where the carcasses of de- ceased automobiles lay unburied," or
 words to that effect. But he accentu- ated what is believed to be the fact, that as the city grows the objection able things which zoning is aimed to prevent, become more common. Simi- larly as the city grows from its 6O,00O in 1920 to its expected 100000 in 1850, it will be more difficult to find con- venient places to dispose of such cans and articles reminiscent of meals of canned goods and other things not pleasant to have around
 Just the other day a car was seen to drive up to corner vacant lot in an attractive part Of the city which has but recently been developed, and a man throw from the car many arti- clcs which fell among the trees of the lot and remained there, to add just a little more to the unsightly condition of that lot caused by similar action in the past Of many others. A sign, for bidding in plain letters any dumping on that lot was plainly visible, Yet the man disobeyed it's injunction and disposed of his refuse there, violating not only the command of the sign but taking away from those living in the neighborhood their right to enjoy agreeable surroundings.
 Ths indiscriminsting dumping Of refuse should be stopped. Dumping are necessary, but their placing should be regulated, as the allowed 10 he left there is being regulated. The attractlveness Of city is not a thing that is to be | despised from Il practical point Of view, as explained by the expert on zoning referred to. A eity's attractive ness is one Of its practical assets, constituting the deciding feature which influences A person to come to that city 10 live.

HARMFUL EQUALITY"

news dispatch from Washington
 says that representatives Of clever
 women's organizations having mem 1 bership in the women's joint congress
 sional committee have announced thar l they have organized to oppose the i campaign or the national women's i party for constitutional amendment l placing men and women on d footing
 of absolute legal equality.
 The phrase absolute legal equa li-
 ty' is to be emphasized. as the thing
 this new organization does not want,
 the thing the proposed constitutional
 amendment would seek.
 The Herald recognizes the right of
 women 10 have d voice in govern
 mental affairs. Women are affected by
 the laws as are men; women have q
 right to exert the influence of their votes and their judgment in the mat ter of the laws that should be passed laws which are for them as well as men. They have a right 10 vote for their representatives. the persons who will pass the laws under which women as well as men must live. Women are taxed. Taxation without representa- tion is fundamentally wrong according to the traditions of this country, the principles upon which it was founded. Frequent occasion has been taken In these columns to commend women's civic activity as well as organization by them into bodies which bring more understanding of political affairs and which bring an intelligent understand ing of the fields now open to them.
 But it would be a sad day indeed were constitutional amendment to he passed placing women on absolute legal equality with men. Quito prob- ably many women rebel at the thought that men insist upon protect ing them. They inHst that they are quite able to take care of themselves. Rut men cling 10 this duty quite as though it were privilege. The law is, in most states, that woman's dover right in the property of her husband can not he taken from her, nor can she give it away except as a choice or something Fin lieu of dover" after her husbands death. A mans duty to support his wife: his inability to give good title to his property with out her consent and signature: his lia- bility for her debts contracted for ne- are few of the burdens happy or unhappy ones acc cording to circumstances, a man as- sumcs and will continue to assume as long as this country holds 10 the home | as its safe anchor. And unfortunate 1 indeed would it be were the home to be cast aside, something new. lacking | its influence put in its place.
 Absolute legal equality for women | by constitutional amendment will be opposed by all who would keep life fine and beautiful to those who ap- preciate fineness and beauty.

CARS LEFT IN GEAR

l Two accidents are reported to have
 been caused recently because the driv-
 CTS left them standing "in gear" and
 then undertook to start them without
 realizing, apparently, that they were
 in gear and would start on their more or less harmless or harmful way sim-
 ultaneously with the starting of the engine. These drivers, when they. left their cars did exactly what many poo-
 pie who consider themselves. and who
 may be, skilled drivers, advise doing They left their cars in gear--or some- one put them in gear while the drivers
 were absent. At any rate it is probable
 that those starting the car had either
 forgotten the fact that they were in
 gear or did not know it.
 Perhaps ii would seem a small mat ter-this emphasizing the proper
 manner of handling the automobile. But 1t is not unimportant. No one
 thing. no matter how trivial. that will tend to reduce the chance of accident
 by automobile Is too small 10 be em-
 phasized. Ii is only by watching out
 for the small things as well as the
 great that any movement becomes successful. One Of the most important
 movements on foot at present is to re-
 duce the number of accidents from automobiles. And leaving cars in gear is one of the habits that should be discouraged.
 II is often said by people who have driven cars long time that when the machine is standing on hill down which 1t might run head first were the brakes to slip. the best plan is to leave the car in reverse 1T the car is left standing on hill down which it might run backwards were the brakes to give way, put it in low" is the advice of these people. One accident is recalled which might not have hap pencd had the car been left in gear. but this one isolated case does not make the rule a good one where there are so many more reported caused by leaving the automobile in a condition to start the moment its engine starts. | And this IS SD bscause fhe human mind is less likely to work than are the brakes. The starting of the en- zine oI a ear lty one long used to it. ] becomes the action of fhe subcon- ! scious mind. The conscious mind is quite likely to be on something else at the moment-likeiy to forget that the car is 'jn eear.~ But the brakes i have no subconscious mind. They are less likely tg sip than is the mind. 1 The safe way to do. Of course. Is first f to have the brakes examined often to i see that they work. second. not 10 leave a car standing on a hiIl-the i only place where there is any excuse for leaving a car in gear. and. above aIL to have the conscious mind right there On the iob every minute. every ! second, one IS doing anything -.out a

EASTERN SEABOARD
 BEING CLEANED UP
Already i26 Are Indicted in
 Liquor Conspiracy

Savannah. Ga, Nov 22.--With l26 defendants in various sections of the country under indictment, eight de- fendants on trial and more indict- ments expected on charges of violat- Ing the national prohibition laws, fed- cral agents are continuing their in- vestigation along the eastern sesboard and in the interior following clues ob- tained in the grand jury investigation of the liauor'traffic in this section of the country.
 When the investigation of what was described by an official at Washington as "one of the most gigantic combina- tions known, either legal or illegal, is completed, federal agents expect to have disclosed liquor trafficking ring almost countrywide.
 The eight defendants whose trials began yesterday are Savannah men, but they are only the first of many to face trial here. court officials say.
 Clues developed in Savannah. ac- cording to federal agents, have. led among other localities, to New York, Philadelphia, the Chesapeake capes and Charleston, s. C., with connec- tions as far west as Pittsburgh, and the end not in sight.
 Eventually. and in some cases al- ready made. prohibition officers say, the line of evidence will lead 10 those who have financed the alleged liquor conspiracy The indictments so far are understood to involve charges of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law, transporting. ship ping, possessing and importing liquor.
 Foreigners. largely Englishmen and Canadians. are involved, it is stated.
