JAIL FOR KEEPING
 POCKET DARKROOM
Iynz-Eyed Sleuth Saw Kerner
 Making Sale on Street

John Kerner of 217 Lasalle street drew 30 days jail sentence when he was found guilty by Judge Benjamin W. filling in police court this morning OH a charge of selling liquor. The court tested liquor that was in two bottles seized by Police man Thomas J. Feeney when he ar rested kerner at the corner of Put nam and Willow streets late yester- day afternoon and then listened to a remark that kerner made about a lawyer who lives on Willow street. The liquor and the remark fell in the same category, so the court i'm posed the jail sentence instead of the usual fine for a first offense.

BarroWs took a drink and handed the bottle back to kerner, who replaced it in his pocket and then from another pocket drew forth pint bottle of liquor which he handed to Barrows, who kept 1t Feeney said that he went over to the two men and Barrows admitted thai he had purchased the liquor iron kcrner, agreeing 10 pay him $1 fol it.

NUISANCE OF TRAINS
AT CROSSINGS.

It would seem that a well-rcgu- lated railroad coulI arrange scheI- ules Of freight trains or switching engines so that they will not block an important crossing during an hour when large numbers of citi- zens are compelled to get across the tracks without delay. Such a time is the noon hour.
 Mayor Paonessa's effort to bring a sembIanca of system into the management Of inc New !avn's train schedule which blocks the Elm street crossing so frequently is to be highly commended. It is djscoacert- ing to learn. however, that the mayors first communication to the railroad officials went unanswered.
 The city has some rights, even at railroad crossings; and the mayor ought to be able 10 bring the power of the law to bear upon the matter fl the railroad company do.s nvt find it convenient to cease b.ockirs the crossing at the worst tima Of the day. Perhaps the mayor mi If ap- peal to the Public Utilities Commls' sion, that apparently being the pop ular thing to do nowadays Wh5n con .rovsrsiss arise with transportation companies. ...

most important hays being made from the various grasses, ttimothy. meadow fescue, meadow foxtail, promo grasses, etc) legun1es, (clover, alfalfa. etc) and cereal grains (rye, oats and barley). The different crops are usually cut from hay be- fore they have fully ripened seed as generally speaking the nutritive value increases up 10 this time and decreases afterwards. Hay contains more nutritive material in propor- ton to its bulk than the green crops from which it is made. It has been concentrated by the evaporation of large amount of tho water originally present. It contains fairly large amounts of carbohydrates. both ni- trogen- free extract and crude fibre, and a considerable amount of pro- tein. Animals were at one time win tered on hay alone, but now it has been found that although they can be maintained on hay alone it is ad- visable to supplement the diet with grain or other concentrated food.

A NEW ATTEMPT TO MAKE US PAY.

When John W. O'Leary, vice pres- ident of the Chicago Trust company and chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, yes terday told the International c. of c. gathering at Brussels that the peo- pie of this country thought 1: about time for European debtors to begin
 paying us what they owe, he ac-
 compsnied his terse and pungent | remarks with what the Associated 1 Press correspondent termed mild l resentment" at the pessimism of previous European speakers regard 1 ing the alleged "mercinary" Ameri- can attitude.
 Before the American banker got a chance to have his say several other important European individuals had 1 painted a lugubrious picture, most
 of them giving the impression they
 thought the United States should put Europe or her feet and lose her own
 poise and balance in the process.

 the goods here she could make, thus getting the money to pay reparations
 to England and France.
 Neither France nor England Is prepared to lower tariff barriers, he decIared-although a great many

A TIMELY WARNING
 TO ATTOISTS.

Chlef Hart of the police depart ment did well 10 issue his timely warning" 10 autoists 10 give pedes- trians a chance to get across thor oughfares at such corners where, although traffic is considerable, the city Is unable to. station traffic po- licemen. We have frequently called atten- ton to conditions at some corners of the Center; but there are other places throughout the city that per- haps are nearly as bad.
 But how is the chief going 10 seek the cooperation of automobile dri- vers except by moral suasion? That ought to be enough, of course, but the perversity of human nature is such that some people do not pay much attention to that kind of per suasion.
 Every automobile driver will read lily understand that pedestrians have some rights, especially when a near by crossing is closed against auto mobiles and people are attempting to cross the street at another cross ing close by There is no more logic in autosts crovding over the Church street crossing to Central park, for instance, while the traffic stop sign is against them a few feet further on, than If they went past the signal altogether. They cannot get ahead past the stop signal and might as well stop before the cross- over is reached. IL is 10 be hoped that the chiefs moral suasion works al this crossing as well as nu- merous others.
 The triangular formation of some of the downtown street intersections greatly increases the hazard of cross ing the streets, even when the traffic policemen are regulating the traffic The crossing at Main and Arch stree is an instance 1t requires eagle eye to get across most of the day. A such a crossing traffic does not com from one direction. but from several and during the hours when there no traffic policeman on the job 1t nearly as much as a persons life worth to get over the expanse 0 street territory in safety.
 Another crossing that offers un usual hazards to pedestrians Is th West Main street entrance to Wa nut Hill park. l. Is wide crossing and many automobiles come dow the grade faster than the rules ( safety would suggest. Then there the possibility Of machines going int the park cutting into the crossin from the highway before pedestrian are half way across. The only thin that saves the situation from beir an intolerabe nuisance-to pede trians-is that comparatively fe machines come or go into the par
