Horses were all right until auto
mobiles came along. They've had their
day"
Then the two skidded off to the
unknown, while a customer whose
place 1T the long porcelain table had
been next 10 the milk and pie man,
was left to wonder If he knew about
the bronze horse that has just been
unveiled in a parish church near Lon
don. in memory of the 375,O horses
killed in service during the World
War? Also:
If it be true that the horse has had
his day, it sure has been IA long one.
II has forever carried the pallid horse
man who stops at every mans door.
and it stands apotheosiZed in a parish
church near London. And that means
the history of the world.
There is one difference, anyhow. be-
tween horse and an automobile: 1t
Is the difference between blood and
gasoline. An armored tank is a fine
thing, but it cannot give it's life for
mans flag, because it has no life. 1t
is only a machine that chuGs. 1t can
blow up, or turn turtle or skid itself
TO smash, but it cannot suffer. because
to suffer one must live.
And as we are assured that nothing
that has lived will ever die, it may
bet may be-that the horse heaven
created by humor is a real thing. And
why not?
Dobbin's humble brother. the ass.
helped to save the Child from Herod's
knife. and another carried Him over
JeruSalemS palm -streWn way. From
crusader to circuit rider. the horse has
borne Christianity to earth-corners
that could never have been plodded by
man. He has suffered the famines
and thirsts of every missionary he
carried and has literally suffered
martyrdom with no hope of martyrs
reward
All that history can do for an auto
mobile is to give it a spotlight flash
on the sporting page for clipping a
second from the racing record. with
extra headlines if the driver gets
killed on the run. After that the car
strikes the down grade bargain-sale
class and ends upon the scrap heap.
1t taxes a horse to die. Today'S car
will be a back number as soon as
later number can sizZle out of an in
ventors brain. But the horse is i'm
mortal.
If you have your doubts. just so

After Assault Case.

Victor E. Jones, colored messenger
in the State Department, charged
with assault with a milk bottle On
Augustus Lee, another colored mes
senger of the Department, was found
guilty in Police Court yesterday by
Judge Robert E Mattingly. Because
of his previous good record and the
fact that the assault grew out of a
continued nagging by the plaintiff,
the court took his personal bond.
Jones told the court that he
"eased' a. milk bottle over Lees head
because he called him Simple Simon"
and should be back in Alabama
picking cotton"
Evidence showed that Lee was not
badly hurt and had been bullying the
defendant.
LET us have peace" Judge Mat
tingly commented on the conclusion

Heitman Is one of the surest catches on fly balls in the Eastern league. In addition. he is one of the timeliest hitters in the league. It is said he is slow afoot, which is true, to a certain extent. He is far from being a 10 second man, but anyone who knows baseball will not question the advisability of preferring a slow, sure outfielder who seldom drops one that he gets his hands on, to a fast, flashy player who is apt to drop balls at critical moments.
