Calling a Halt on Excessive and
Unnecessary Regulation
of the Public
By BILL PRICE

Commissioner FENNING and Traffic Director ELDRDGE
are discovering in uncertain manner that Congress and
the people of Washington prepared to call halt on
cessive and regulation of the public and the
creation of conditions which is making the chief industry
of this city that of police court activities
If traffic developments the coming along the lines
of the last one population of this city by the end of 1925
will be composed of just two cassesthose being daily ar
rested for petty violation and those making the arrests that is
the 'scopped' and the "coppers
And while we the constant spectacle OF busy and
women respectable good citizens at that spending the best
part of their time waiting to be fined or ectured IN Police
Court the real will be doing about they please
the autoist the speeders and dangerous voators
of traffic laws will be having picnic.
Now we have Representatives KELLER of Minnesota and
LoWERY of Mississippi putting forward the claim without
official approval that the streets of Washington belong to
the people who pay the for their upkeep and their
proper use should limited by foolhardy proposals
Also comes Police Court Judge MCMAHON who to
have some vague Washington people really do have
some rights Washingtons Judge Mcmahon has
called temporary halt the police baggng of Wholesale

few weeks ago to city authorities that the street space

This new outburst Congressional and local sentiment

morning.
From what gather there unnteigen foolish people
in this city who have written Commissioner Fennng thoughts
along these lines:
Z. There Is no NECESSITY for the proposed
strictioms upoa the public.
G. 1t is automatic that all lGgOs and regulations should
haze their foundation IN NECESSITY AND JUSTICE;
otherwise people of democratic tendencies be disposed
{ to disregard them.

Courageous public officials who may make themselves

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON

Taking Your Own Pulse
no to, thou Simple One! Come
NJ not unto me, saying, How
shall I know mine own heart,
when I am in danger OF LOSING
Il.
For, verify, by these symptoms
shalt thou diagnose thy case"
and read thy sentence!
Behold dost thou know the
sound of his motor-horn by ear,
and doth his ring at the door,bell
cause tiny pulse to skip beat2
Doth the sight Of a telephone
booth inspire thee with an I'M
comfortable longing to call him
up?"
Doth the aroma of pipe-smoke
and bay-rum ana shaving soap,
which clingeth about him, seem
unto thee more thrilling than the
fragance OF Black Narcissus?
Hast thou observed his favorite
color in cravats, and canst thou
tell me whether he preferreth his
roast rare or medium, and if he
taketh sugar in his demitasse?
Doth the company of all other
mon bore thee, and wouldst thou
prefer to SCRAP with him to q
pettirS party with the Prince of
Wales?
Art thou tempted to write him
a letter, every day, even though
thou never mailest it?
Because his nose Is not crooked
and his forehead is normal, dost
thou speak of his profile as
"classic?"
Or. because he resembleth a
bad dream, dost thou say, "Others
may admire cameo profile, but
as for ME-, prefer the rugged,
herman type?"
Doth the hero of the moving
picture always resemble him and
the hero of the novel always re-
semble him and the hero of the
novel always remind" thee of
Him?
Dost thou call him by a secret
nickname" of thine own inven-
tion-even "Boysy" or "Tedsy"
or "Billikin" or "Angelcake?"
Dost thou quote his Opinions.
until thy family crieth for mercy?
Dost thou yearn to look after
him and mother him and RE-
FORM him and to run thy fin
gers through his hair?
Then, charge thee, cease to
struggle. For. thy case is chronic
and thy days in the land of free
women are numbered.
And 10, 1t IL. out matter of
time ere the man shall find him
self placing his name upon the
Dotted Line and signing off from
single blessedness, forever!
For. he hath not CHANGE.

TUE trumpet is blowing for
j the entry OF a new actor
in the arena where Is played the
endlessly frightening spectacle
OF human life. He IL not yet
visible, but the heraIds are al
ready procIaiming his title and
qualities is the biological
engineer"
Do you ask. What is a bio
logical engineer. and what can be
do? The answer Of those who
have seen him with their minds
eyet is not very specific, but It
is formidable. His business will
be to invent and put in use
practical applications OF the
theories Of the biologists just as
the mechanical, the civil or the
electrical engineer does with the
theories OF the researchers and
dreamers in HIS particular field
or pure science"
In announcing the coming Of
the biological engineer. Professor
j. Arthur Harris, of the Uni
versity OF Wisconsin, indicates
the nature of the work that he
will have to do as follows:
The development Of tropical
agricuIture-the only practicable
means for the production Of many
of the commodities which we to-
day regard as essential-has be-
come possible with the growth Of
shipping, but involves the prob
lem OF SO modifying the condi-
tons OF life near the Equator as
to make them suitable, or at least
safe, for men belonging to races
which have evolved under essen
TALLY different conditions.
Biological Engineer
Earlier attempts at the construcr
ton OF the Panama Canal failed
not because of the unsoundness
Of the work of the French civil
engineers, but because of the
want of biological knowledge ade-
quate for dealing with the great
problem of sanitation"
From this we see that the
American sanitary engineer"

Helen adores her mother. For
all the twenty-five years OF her
life, Helen's mother has been
doing things for her. without
ever counting the cost in time or
worry. Moreover she has done
them extremely well.
Naturally it's a delight to lean
on mother like that. II Helen
wants a new hat, she knows
that mother will shop for one
gladly and find the very prettiest
hat at the best price,
If Helen needs to write a paper
for the club meeting, mother will
write it for her with cleVerness
and dispatch.
Mother Is interested in city
politics, in social service, In

And now that Helen has become
a Married Lady, who could bet

the grip of a natural, healthy
resentment and Helen is acting
most foolishly in not trying to
understand that resentment.
Ben IL one of these men who,
have an honest scoyn for the
splnelessness of the proverbial
Clinging Vine. When he married
Helen he thought he was getting
a. Live Wire. He wanted SONS
one who could stand on her own
feet and do her own thinking.
He wanted to feel proud of his
wife. He wanted to discuss his
affairs with her, he wanted to be
able to trust her decisions, and
work with her as a partner. He
had his eye on a fine position In
a neighboring State and he
thought that Helen would help
him work toward that position.
But instead, he found that ne
had married a Mama's Girl.
He has nothing against that
Mama. She Is q good, wise, kind
Mama and Ben has a high re-
snect and admiration for her.
ant he thinks u Is high time
she cot over M0mainO HE 40tfe.
And every day he has less re-
snect for the wife who can't get
along without her mama.
It isn't jealousy that Ben feels
toward his wife.
1t Is contempt.
The contempt of an indepen-
dent person for a dependent one.
The contempt Of a person who
is proud of his own intelligence
Tor the person who doesn't trust
or develop hers.
And also there's the resentful
feeling that he has been SOME,
how cheated.
He has.
