Seattle, July 3O--.Give me man
driver every time"
That's the consensus of Seattle
traffic cOppers. Handling heavy
crowds on downstreets.
John De Boer, who handles one of
the heaviest corners and in addition
is known as "Seattle's most popular
cop" agrees with the general opin-
ion. but says lot depends on the
cop. He finds q smile wins the wOm-
en- as with the men.
BETTER Judgment
But here's what the average traf.
flicker says:
'Men have better judgment than
women and arc better law-cOmpliers.
A woman generally has her attention
centered on herself; man looks out
for the rest Of the traffic. too.
"Men are afraid OF u cop: women
aren't. Bawa out u man ana he
blushcs and takes it meekly nine
times out Of ten. Reprimand wom-
an and she'll fight every time.
Can't reason with her. Women have
no scrpules. either. about engaging
in physical combat with u cop; sew
eral Seattle cops have scratched
faces to prove it.
Men Don't Slap
But will man driver slap a cop?
Not on your life!
"Women lose their heads more
easily than man: they will make a
wreck out of q traffic jam that q

Endorsement of
Sioux Tribe Asked
For Indian Opera

The endorsement of the Sioux
tribe is solicited in a letter recently
received by Major A. Il. Welch from
NJ. NJ. Goodsiil. st. Paul.
Mr.. GOodsill, who is an official Of
the Northern Pacific railroad. relat-
ed in his letter the story of the i'm
pending production in Portland Of
an Indian opera written. as he says,
by Perry Williams, secretary of the
Civic and Commerce Association Of
Minneapolis, I'm the full glow Of
youthful genius"
He requested the major to write
letter in Sioux characters, telling
Of the interest of the Sioux nation
in the coming production and de-
claring they think it timc.thc white
man recognized and appreciated the
Indians and their part in Americ
history.
Mr.. Goodsill expressed the desire
that Major Welch sign the letter as
one of the chiefs of the Sioux and
get the signatures Of other chiefs as
we'll.
1T would probably be used on pro-
grams" said the major. He has not
yet made up his mind to comply
with the request.
Some Of the phrases in the letter
indicate it's Cooperesque type Of
Indian who will be represented. Such
phrases for instance as mobile vir-
tues and "noble red men," sound
reminiscent Of the days Of Fcnmore
in the majors ears. but should not
prevent the production being good
opera and going over we'll.
The opera is To be put on some
time in November by various musical
bodies which rediscovered the work
Of Williams recently.
Major Welch. who To his knowl-
edge, is the only white who has ever
been really adopted into the Sioux
tribe. wonders somewhat il any OF
the characters in the opera will be
anything at all like Indians.

SCHOOL BUILDING
PROBE SWEEPING
McCarl Going Deeply Into
Construction WOrk-WeSt-
ern High Case Cited.

Reference in the Gibson subcommit-
tee report on District affairs to a
survey Of school building construction
by the Controller General today
brought to light for the first time that
a sweeping investigation of this sub
ject has been under way for several
weeks.
Initiated by the office of the Con-
troller General, the investigation has
been carried on quietly, going into
substantially all phases of school
building erection in the District.
Even broader investigation is planned
by the Controller General to deter
mine if Federal money has been prop
erly spent.
Controller General McCarl will pro-
vide the Gibson subcommittee of the
House District committee with COM
plete copy of the report aSsearly as
possible. which is expected to be very
soon.
The report already is vOluminOus.
Special emphasis has been devoted,
1t is known, to the situation at West
ern High School.
The new stage and auditorium of
Western High School some time ago
were closed by the principal after
beam had fallen and some construc-
tion had pulled loose in connection
with the curtain support. School OFF,
cials contended the structure had not
Rs yet been formally accepted from
the contractors; the contractors were
called in conference, the matter was
considered and later the auditorium
and stage We're reopened to use. SO
far as known, it was understood the
matter had been satisfactorily settled.
The McCarl investigation is under
stood to have followed out all matters
which had come to light in connection
with these incidents.

Under the present code provisions
and court practices, a justice OF the
Supreme Court handles all cases re-
lating to estates Of deceased persons
and infants, acting as a probate
court. Matters relating to estates of
non compos mentis persons come be.
fore the equity side Of the court. The
justices rotate in the hearing Of these
cases. The dockets of the Supreme
Court are crowded. Some of the JUS
ticeS have suggested the addition of
more Judges to take care Of the situ-

court of probate to deal specifically

would relieve the present condition in
