Governor Hyde of Missouri would
never do. Too many of our bright
est lights are hiding now.
General PerShing would be a dan
gerous experiment, because he is
liable to jump up at any time and
start telling the truth.
McNary Of Oregon would make a
strong running mate. his Western
farmers balancing up any prejudice
against a down East lawyer. But
he would want to use all the public
buildings in Washington to store the
wheat and corn in that he wants the
Government to buy and hold for
the farmers.
George Phelps would be a good
man-if it We're not for his middle
name. But the minute you said

About Reronfinc

To the Editor Of The Times
I notice another article in Satur.
days issue of The Times referring
to the rerouung Of street cars. !
notice in one section of the article
in particular that the Washington
st. merchants as a whole are OPP
posed to any general rerouung Of
cans. l would like 10 ask If the
street cars are operated for the &C
commodauon Of the Washington st.
merchants or for the accommoda-
ton of the general public
I think that If they are for the
Washington St. merchants. the mer-
chants should contribute to the i'm
provement and maintenance Of the
company and let the general public
have the scent fare restored. As
il is, we must pay the increased fare
and walk across town after buying
a transfer. I think the cars should
be routed so as to do away with a
great deal Of congestion and be Of
more service to the public and no
more expense to the company.

In NezO York
BY STEVE HANNAGAN

NEW YORK, June 12.-In one of
Broadways' rollicking musical shows
a pretty girl with an appealing voice
and alluring figure scampers about
to the enjoyment of packed houses.
After the theater she rushes to
one of the intimate supper clubs and
long into the dim hours of the morn
ing adds to the merriment of those
making the rounds"
She has a happy smile and help
ing hand for every one.
Yet she has more than her share
of sorrow.
Her husband, who a year ago was
her partner in big musical produc-
tons, is in a Chicago sanitarium,
suffering with a nervous complaint
She must work at two jobs that
he may have the best of care.
Smokey Joe" Martin, acting chief
of the New York. fire department,
has been in the service forty years.
He became a hoseman at 90
Through all the excitement he has
lived, attending every big fire in
New York, he never has lost his
composure.
To meet him, one might imagine
him a walking advertisement for
cures for nervousness.
THE Chief" has as much hair as
a moving picture hero and not a
wisp of it is gray.
All the "Noah's Ark" street cars
aren't doing service I'm small towns.
On the Second Avenue line, here
in New York, they have lone man
trolleys' of a vintage that antedates
any the writer has ever seen in the
smallest hamlet.
And my mid-western clothes must
not be so Anticipated here in the
big town.
For three evenings hand running
new an old clothes man has gentle
r1anly edged his way up to me and
queried, Amy old clothes for sale,
mister?"
Here in New York that is CON
sidered the acme of success.

MEMORIAL
PLAN HIT
BY READER
Objection Made to Inclusion
of Headquarters for
American Legion,
To the Editor Of The Times
IT WAS generally understood
that the Memorial Plaza

IT WAS generally understood
that the Memorial Plaza
- was to commemorate, also
perpetuate, deeds worthy Of remem-
brance. There however, appear to be
many strange phases which evident
Iy are not as generally known and
understood by our citizens and tax
payers.
In the first place if a sanctuary
lis desired and is to be in the form of
a Memorial Plaza, how is it possible
to appropriate over 100000 of the
taxpayers money for a building to
house National headquarters of the
American Legion? There is no pro
vision for such separate buildings in
the Memorial Place law Is it just
that the people Of our city, county
and State are to be taxed for the
building and maintenance of a struc-
ture which they are expecting will
represent a perpetual memorial for
glorious deeds, but will instead be
used to house a National organi.
cation, which in no way represents
a permanent asset to the citizens Of
our State.
Furthermore, the Chamber Of
Commerce of our city, by their own
admission has paid out the sum of
$4,000 for the maintenance Of
American Legion National head
quarters, In addition it is reported
that the memorial commission ex-
pended sum of approximately ST..
400 to the Merchants Heat and Light
Company in payment Of heat and
light bills for the American Legion.
Is this also a part of the Memorial
Plaza program?
Are the people Of this city going
to permit the waste Of public funds
for the good Of one organization
that not only has not contributed to
our public treasury in any way. but
has repeatedly been the beneficiary
/ Of public generosity, and even now
is conducting a campaign to solicit
funds from our citizens behind the
popularity and beauty Of the fair
ladies in our community.

In Jamaica, cockroaches play par
