 The tangle revealed by Judge Jennings decision in the matter Of the Zoning Ordinance raises the question whether or not some one should be chosen in place of Alder man Judd as manager of the Com mon Council.
 The serious situation as to the Coming Ordinance is due simply, the writer contends. 10 the star chamber policy Of haste and scmi-secrecy adopted by Mr. Judd and his friends when the Ordinance was rushed through the Common Council in September. 1925.
 When the final public hearing was held, no copies of the draft of the oriinance were available for the public there, no blue prints of the map to he had.
 Had proper opportunity been af- forded the lawyers and real estate men of the city to obtain copies of and study al their leisure the map and draft, and time been then all lowed the Corporation Counsel for final revision in the light of the recommendation received, the pres ont muddle probably would not have developed.

J. E. ALLIE

In reply 10 the letter ot "A Pa -ronizer." ia your paper, dated March s. 1927, I wish to state that the article on house 10 house calls. is as much inconvenie7- to the drivers. as 1t is 10 the public. For instance, by stopping every few feet, hey usa great deal more gaso- line. and also put a great deal oil wear and tear on their tires, brakes. and so forth. Not only that, but they jar passengers on the bus at the same time.
 I kno" the drivers would like to| zoe this thing remedied. Or course. as We all know, the public in gem oral is very hard to please, T. Q per- son was standing in front of his or| her home, and drivers passed him make. They are also complaining when the drivers stop to pick them up. So you see. Mir. Patronizer, the life of a jltney driver, is not all. sugar and cream" T. he satisfies one party, he will offend another. Your idea on the stops that should he made is very logical, but the drivers are very sorry to say, ii is not in their power 10 enforce these stops.
 IT a person having intentions ot riding on q bus. would only walk a few feet 10 the corner, I'm sure the drivers. in the near future would ba in a position to satisfy all ot their cust toners. Several times. I have no- t;ced people press the "buzzer," for the next stop, and when the driver| stops, no one wants to get off, this is an everyday occurrence.
 This is also a big loss of time ;o the drivers. Now then. if the public would only use 8 little more con-| sideration when riding on husscs, the owner or driver would not get any more complaints like the one MT. Patronizer" made. The drivers are doing their best to satisfy their passengers. and it the public de- slres better service than they arc getting now. they will have to sacrifice the privilege Of taking the bus in front of their home. By do- ing so, the drivers. would be able to make better service mornings and moons, and also give the sery- ice desired.

Yet, made as he was for war
Christmas was, as / say, past 80
when he got to soldering. Here was
the enigma. Born in a tiny, Somno-
lent town on the Amite River, 10 miles
from Baton Rouge, La, he worked
patiently as a deck hand on Lake
Pontchartrain. He wanted to be an
engineer, and after years of routine
shaving on the railroad about his home
he was given an engine on a line now
part Of the Illinois Central. His
father, Winfield Scott Christmas, had
played a heros part under Gen. Scott
at Chapultepec in the Mexican War.
One trip he was out 54 hours at a
stretch, fell asleep and let his train
crash into another. But because of
his long service the road decided not
to discharge him. He went to the
railroad doctor for the examination
customary after accidents, and it was
fit to drive an engine. They offered
him a dead mans job" in the yards.
But Christmas shook his head. He
walked into the hall, and with wet,
dazed eyes stopped before one of the
windows that looked down on the
street far below. Life seemed sud
denly to have turned to ashes. Christ
mas climbed upon the window ledge
and stepped off.
He fell several stories to the busy
street. But he did not dictate
wanted him for the wars.
When he recovered from his in
iuries Lee Christmas was in that mo-
ment probably more utterly beaten
than ever again. He wandered down
to the wharses, boarded a steamer
