ROAD HOGS

The federal board OF public roads, Investigating
the psychology Of road hogs finds that The truck
driver not so porcne he has been pictured Truck
drivers as class, the official observers report, drive
one foot closer to the outside Of the pavement than
enough clearance So it really IS the motor car drivers
who are the road hogs.
Both classes are bad enough, at times, as every
driver knows. But when truck driver hugs the mid
die of the road and ignores the warning tooc OF
behind that wants pass he usually has the excuse
of seeking safety for his truck and cargo or OF not
hearing the horn The automobiles who daWdles along
the middle of the paved strip and refuses to get over
seldom has any excuse whatever, unless it be that
Nature has made him egotistc selfish stold and dis
courteous. Of all driving pests, there IS none more IN
tolerabe.

Local Alligator
Causes Real
Sensation

Leslie Houston s alligator
may know something about that
two column story that appeared
III a recent issue of a San Diego
paper, telling of the startling
discovery of an alligator on the
desert wastes near Coyote
Wells. Much printers ink was
wasted III speculation as to how
the alligator happened to be
there, and wound up by saying
that his lordship was rcposing
IN the Balboa Park Zoo, after
having been presented to little
Mary Elizabeth Titus of San
Diego by her uncle who lives
near Coyote Wells and who
found the animal.
This all makes splendid copy
and we hate to "but" up the
story that some one advanced
that the alligator had wander.
ed an by way OF the irrigation
bitches. But we are forced to
confess that we do believe this
mast be the self-same alligator
that Leslie turned out into the
cruel world to plug for himself
some weeks ago, much to the
eonstcrnation of the timid
neighbor women.
leslie had two originally. n
gift from n Holtvillc man who
got them from Florida when
they were stocking up the pond
III the Holtville civic center.
If the lowlv animal wigglcd
his way from Leslie s domiciln
ON Holt avenue to Coyote Wells,
he had n long, arduous journey.
and we re glad he has found
nice, soft resting place in the
zoo where he won have to
rustic for his meals.

 EOpinions in foreign circles. vary ing according to the commercial situation in the different countries are generally unanimous in con damning certain provisions of the standard treaty. while praising others. Most of the European na- ttons are dealing with the United stales under very old commercial treaties and 1t is realized these soon will have to be brought up to date.

WARSAW AND MOSCOW IN
 EXCHANGE OF LETTERS
Recent Border Troubles Result in Two Countries Sending Many
 Diplomatic Notes

Warsaw, Poland, July il oPl-- The recent Russo Polish frontier incidents have given rise to con- sidera ble exchange of notes between Warsaw and Moscow.
 The soviet government in com- muuication 10 the Polish minister in the Russian capital suggested the formation of mixed commission to investigate the burning of a soviet border guard station by Polish sol diers.
 NJ. Morawski acting Polish foreign minister during tho absence of M. Skrzynski, demanded the return of Polish officer, Lieutenant Rondo- manski, seized by Russian soldiers near the frontier, and the punish ment of soviet troopers who as- yaulted another officer, Lieutenant Tenerowicz.
 In further note to the soviet le- gation, Nj. Morawski called attention to the assassination of a Polish cor poral by soviet border guards.
 As the absence of natural iron tier leads to frequent incidents of this character, Poland now is pro- posing the establishment of perma- nent arbitration commissions along the border. empowered to settle cases without calling upon the diplomatic services.

CT interests in Turkey. The senate failed at the last session to ratify the treaty with Turkey and it Is expect ed the situation will remain un- changed until the senate meets in December. Rear Admiral Bristol. now acting as American high com missioner in Turkey, will continue 70 handle American interests there until a more satisfactory relation ship Is established.
 The principal opposition in for eign quarters to the German com mercial treaty Is in the senate res ervation under which congress re- tains the power, after one year, to revoke those clauses which stipulate that no preferential treatment shall be accorded American shipping or goods transported in American bot toms without allowing identical advantages to German goods and shipping, As against this, however. foreign diplomats consider that the United States accepted for the first time in the treaty the European conception of favored nation treat ment."
 This clause Is set forth in Article seven, of the treaty, which reads;
 Each of the two high contract Ing parties binds itself 10 give 10 the nationals, vessels, and goods Of the other the advantage of every favor, privilege, or immunity which 1t shall I've accorded 10 the na- tionals, vevsels and goods of third state, and regardless of whether such tavoreS state shall have been accorded sucA treatment gratuitous- ly or in retrsp for reciprocal com pensatory treaN Nent."
 It Is held by some of the diplo- mats, however. that satisfactory commerce with the United States can only be established by trade policy covering a long stretch of years.
 On the whole ths most influential diplomatic counsellcrs here believe the various objections brought against the treaty atS not of suffi- cient importance to oAsrbalance the general spirit of the agreement. They hold that the document was drawn with the intention of inltiat- ing a policy or rigorous and univer- sal equality of commercial treat ment. This attitude they hold to be | fair The attitude toward the Euro pean conception of favored nation treatment Is ascribed In the same circles to the need of American in- dustries 10 acquire and hold foreign markets.

 The Detroit manufacturer tend CT was handed to the board chair man yesterday by ". B. Mayo, his chief engineer "A hours after the board had rejected the recommends ton of President Palmer of the fleet corporation for acceptance of the s1,37o,00o bid Of the Boston Iron and Metal company and ordered further negotiations on the sale. The latter company was one of twenty bidders whose tenders were opened June 30 and for which opening MT. Ford announced he had mailed a bid from Detroit which was not re- ceived.
 While not revealing details of the unsealed Ford bid before turning 1t over to President Palmer. who IS negotiating all ship sales subject to the boards approval, Chairman o'Connor said 1t provided for resale of engines and other ship equipment only as junk. The provision Of the Boston Iron and Metal company bid for resale of equipment for second hand use was not regarded as deslr- able by the chairman and some oth- CT board members.
