Sl5O FINES FOR
 DEFIANT DRIVER
Friedman Persisted in Operating
 Car With License Suspended

Tt does not matter whether he is family man and needs his license or not; he will be obliged 10 do without it for some months and pos sibly years" Judge B. w. filling said in police court this morning, as he nined Paul Friedman, aged 40, Of 265 Cherry street, S100 with $50 re- mitted on one count of violation of the motor vehicle laws in driving while his license was under suspen- sion, and $10O on the second count of the same charge, a total of s150 and costs.
 Traffic Officer John c. stadler testified that he arrested Friedman on August IA. and again on August IT, F'riedlran's license having been suspended on August 10. The first time, Friedman said he was taking his wife to the hospital, so Officer Stadler accompanied him to Dr. N. B. Jaffe's office and then to the po- lice station. On the 17th, the officer saw him driving an automobile &C., companied by another man. The of ficer arrested him again.
 Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg rep resented Friedman and changed the original plea of not guilty to guilty. He said Friedman should not have driven the car while his license was under suspension, and the only ex- cuse he can offer for having done so iS thai Mrc Eriadpnap wac I1pder Q physicians care and on August IA it was imperative that she reach the physicians office at once.
 Relative to the second cffense, the attorney said Friedman was not aware that it was against the lawfo drive while his license was under suspension, even though he was ac- companied by another driver. What ever action the court takes in the matter, it will have the effect of continuing the suspension further, the attorney said, and this will be adequate punishment, be believed, inasmuch as Friedman is a family man and needs his license.
 The cases of Howard Conger of 27 Pleasant street and Sylvester Pe- trowicki of 1064 North street, Wa terbury, were nolled. Conger was charged with driving an automobile while under influence of liquor, and Petrowicki was charged with driv. ing without a license. Prosecuting Attorney Woods did not believe there was sufficient evidence in the Conger case and Petrowicki was found to have had license, but had lost it.

NEXT CONGRESS IS
 SURE ID BE BUSY
Its Slate Is damned Before
 Sessions

Washington, Aug. 24 -. R AL though Congress has hardly rested from its return home from seven months work at the Capitol, at tention already is being called to the formidable array of legislative problems to be tackled in the brief ninety day session beginning in De- cember.
 Just where time will be found for the work to be done is expect ed to cause leaders more than a passing worry, as several commit tees have been given authority to meet early in the fall to draft more bills to be added to the large num- Der now listed on the calendar.
 As usual at short sessions, the Senate faces the most acute ,situ- ation, as this body has yet to dis pose of a number of measures all ready passed by the House and sent there for action. .
 Of this group, two, the omnibus rivers and harbors bill and the French war debt settlement promise considerable trouble.
 Preceding the converting of the session, the Senate will meet on November 10, as court to hear impeachment charges brought by the House against Federal Judge George w. English of the eastern Illinois district. No time is set for conclusion of the trial which, if ex- tended into the regular session, will add to the congestion.
 Both Senate and House also will have before them the long standing question of disposing of the gov ernment properties at Muscles Shoals, Alabama, with little indica- tion that speedy action can be ob- tained.
 Other matters awaiting attention include the McFadden branch banking bill, the White and Dill radio bills. report to be made by the Commission investigating land grants on the Northern Paciic rail- way company, and a number of minor measures.
 Besides, the regular annual ap- propriation bills to- provide funds for the various governmental de- partments must be acted on, while the House Commerce committee expects to present some form of coal legislation, and the House ways and means committee plans 10 draft bill to carry out alien property awards.

ODD GLEANINGS IN FIELD OF SPORTS Little Bits That Interest the
 Fans

Adversity paved the way to the greatest home-run hitting record of all time, Babe Ruth has revealed.
 Tn the spring of 1919," explains Babe, whose fame as a southpaw moundsman preceded his feats as a long range hitter, q developed sore arm. I didn't know when I'd be able to pitch again and I didn't want 10 sit around and do nothing. So I told Ed Barrow, who was man. aging the Red Sox at that time, that I'd like to play the outfield.
 Ed told me I could - you know the rest"
 The change became a permanent one. Ruth entered upon his career as a slugger and soon became such a sensation on the diamond that Bar row could not afford to remove him from the outfield.

SAN ANTONIO IS
 GROWING RAPIDLY
Alamo City OutgroWS Scenes
 Of Its Birth

San Antonio, Aug. 24 R,-Once Spanish settlement and later a frontier town in the heart of the great Southwest Texas cattle coun- try, historic San Antonio has bowed to the progress of American civil ization.
 The Alamo City no longer is the wild west town" that it was as re- gently as the beginning of the Twentieth century. The coming of industry and increasing population have dissipated the atmosphere that was particularly hers in an- other century. San Antonio today is much the same in custom and ac- tion as any large American city, as evidenced by the reaction of the populace to "flashbacks" from the rapidluy dimming past.
 Nestiges of Past Fading
 An aged horseman in cowboy garb, at the end of long journey, guides his steed down the left side of the city's main thoroughfare, lodging automobiles, while after theatre crowds pause to stare at this now strange sight. \ An old Mexican in rickety cart slowly crosses an intersection against the red traffic light, and adds to the worries of hurrying motorists.
 The ringing of traffic bells, the changing and grinding of street cars, and the honking of automo- piles rend the air at a busy down. town, intersection a few yards from the little building where o. Henry lived and wrote some of his stories.
 "Six-Gun' Policemen
 The best marksmen with "six- shooters" are now on the sherriff's force and in the police department. Two-gun men among the civilians are unknown. If a person publicly | displays revolver or is found to | have one in his pocket without per- init he is certain to be arrested.
 The narrow streets Of Spanish Mexican village days are being widened. Old buildings are being razed and the architectural brides of the city now are large and beau tiful structures.
 On the 'west side," as the Mex ican quarter is known, are many small, unpainted shacks which serve as homes just as they did de- cades ago. But most of the Mex cans have been Americanized. They pile into decrepit automobiles and mix in city and rural traffic with the limousines Of San Antonio's well-to-do. The girls and youths affect the same styles adopted by he Nordic ''jellybeans," and all brush shoulders on the crowded sidewalks in the eye nings.
