When Good Enou n
Is Better

Bridges Smith in his column in the
Macon Telegraph has told an inter-
esting story of a Florida-bound
couple who stopped near the ce!e-
brated Church at Midway to enjoy a
camp meal of fried ham and eggs
with bread and coffee. While the
meal was in it's savory stage, other
tourists came along asking to be
served the same and paying literally
for the service rendered. Other tour
lists followed their noses to the source
of supplies which had several replen-
ishments during the day. BY night
fall the couple debated whether a hot
dog stand in. Florida which they had
originally in mind had any advantage
over their present location and bust
ness, with the result that in time a
shack displaced the camping tent both
for restaurant and dwelling purposes
and this promises to make way for
a more convenient and permanent
structure and Georgia tag will re-
place the present one on the Ford or
a better automobile and Florida is
not in the picture at all. The menu,
with the addition of French fried po-
tatoes, remains the same, and gives
the same satisfaction to each on-mov-
ing caravan. Let them come and let
them go. Our friend knows a good
thing when he has it.

Luxuries and Education

People of the United States spend
for luXuriessand non-essentlals S15,-
900. 100000 year, and less than
2,000.000.000 on education. This
was the showing of painstak1ng in
vestigation made by the research d.
vision of the National Educational
association. This committee asserts
that the present cost of education
could be doubled without encroaching
o. the country's economic needs il

duced but 20 per cent. Figures DO
not lie but they cannot tell us where
The adjustments should be made. A
multi-millionai often spends as
much for enc jewel as would finance
an institution Of learning for several
years, but this is free country and
each may do what he will with his
own wealth. 1t is equally true that
without the requests of multi-mllllon-
aires, few American colleges, or
libraries, or even hospitals, could
reach the degree of efficiency and
prestige they have. Evidently we are
paying too small tax to run our
American scools and other American
institutions as they should be, yet
there is always that complaint of high
taxes. This discomfort is increased
by each successive exposure of public
waste and official graft. Anyway,

Christmas Spending

Certainly Christmas giving repre-
sents the largest outlay on luxuries
of any season of the year, also by the
greatest number of people. Even-the
most economical persons enjoy loos-
ening the purse-strings at this time,
sometimes for the sheer JOY of Civ
ing, sometimes, too, to settle obliga-
tons for kindnesses and courtesies
received during the year. The. spirit
of buying and giving is contagious,
and urged on by the beautiful wares
so Nemptiingly displayed by the mer-

WHAT IS A BRIDE

''The bride," according to a reporter, "is a young lady of wondrous fascination and remark able attractiveness, for with manners as enchanting as the wand of a siren and a disposition a. sweet as the odors of flowers and spirits as joyous as the enrolling of birds and mind as brilliant as the tresses that glitteringly adorn the brow of winter and with heart as pure as dew drops trembling in violets, she will make the home of her husband a paradise of enchantment, like the lovely home of her girl hood, where the heaven toned harp of marriage with it's harp of love striking the cords of devotion and fond endearments sent forth the sweetest strains that ever thrilled the senses with the rythmic puls ing of ecstatic rapture"

Owners of commercial trucks in

Of the 400-odd commercial truck own
ers of the District have already be-
come charter members of the associa-
ton, and many others are expected to
join before the charter membership
closes July 10.
The association is open to all own
ers of electric and gasoline motor
trucks in the District which are used
for commercial hauling.
The organization is the outgrowth
of movement whicn has been car
ried on by committees for the last six
months protesting against decisions of
Virginia authorities to require all Dis
trict concerns which operate trucks
in that State to obtain a franchise at
a large cost, and which entered vigor-
Gus protests against the regulation re-
Gently ordered by the District Com
missioners requiring truck owners to
limit loads on their trucks to the
maximum capacity set by the manu-
facturers Of the trucks. A mass meet
ing was called June l, at which reso-
lutions were adopted by the truck
owners declaring that If this regula-
ton was continued in effect the num-
Der of trucks required for deliveries
and transportation would be greatly
increased, adding to traffic congestion
and imposing an added cost, ultimate
ly on consumers.
The purpose of the association is
much larger than these immediate
problems, however. Mr.. Fanciulli de-
clared today. The biggest que:tion at
hand, he said, is the preparation of a
bill to be submitted to the next Con-
gress dealing with the regulation of
interstate transportation by motor
vehicles. This matter has been brought
into attention because of the recent
decision by the United States Supreme
Court. Mr.. Fanciulli explained, to the
effect that States had no jurisdiction
over cases involving interstate trans
portation. This vitally affects the
District, he said. because practically
all local truck owners have deliveries
into Maryland and Virginia territory.
The association will be incorporated
later, it was decided last night.
