questing the ordinance committee to investigate the law relative to the placing Of advertising stickers on property other than that of the ad- vertisers, and if it is found there is no ordinance prohibiting the prac- tice, to recommend adoption of an ordinance. Alderman D. L. Nair, chairman Of the ordinance commit tee, protested against having the committee look up the law. This matter should be referred to the corporation counsel, he said. Coun- cilman Warner believed the common council is not the medium through which private parties should obtain legal advice, to which Councilman Sablotsky replied that merchants who are taxpayers are considerably annoyed at finding their store win dows covered with stickers and the common council should be quick to protect them. Councilman Warner replied that if he owned a store and was annoyed as stated, he would consult lawyer and would not ex- pect the council or the corporation counsel to provide free legal advice.
 Councilman Bengston said the move to prohibit this practice is worthy of encouragement. Whether or not the ordinance committee is the body the resolution should come before or not is problematical. It was voted to refer it to the corpora ton counsel.
 Recommendations of the board of finance and taxation relative to transfers, etc, were adopted, as were routine reports of the board of public works. The appropriation of S1 .000 to the Snanish War ue-

CHILD RIMS INTO ALTO

Jennie Kozlenko, aged 10, of 146 Hartford avenue, ran in front of an automobile driven by Joseph Deren- thai of Cromwell, on Main street, near Commercial, about GAO last evening, and was knocked down, suf- fering a bruise on the back of the head. Derenthal picked the child up and took her to her home and later to the office of Dr. D. r. Waskowitz, who found the injury was not seri- ouS.
 Derenthal told Sergeant O'Mara, who investigated. that he was driv- ing south on Main street at the rate of 15 miles an hour and the child ran from the west side of the street where cars were parked. She struck the right front fender before he could stop his car. Frank Paul Of 25 Florence street corroborater the report and Sergeant OMara found no cause for arrest.

Michael Brocko, who obtained evidence of violations of the liquor law in the Pajewski and Halloran cases several weeks ago, turned up in police court this morning as a states witness, having made a pur- chase of wine for the police prior to a raid which resulted in convic- ton.
 Brocko's mustache is full grown again, changing his appearance so that even policemen who have been close to him many times since his connection with the department failed to recognize him.

Distorted Humor.

A queer sense of humor is evidently
possessed by the young swain who
appropriated several of the District s
traffic signs for the adornment of his
girl friends apartment. This espe-
cially comcal piece of work was dis
covered after the Traffic Bureau Off
cials had become very much concerned
over the disappearance of several i'm
portant signs, placed at intersections
to protect the public. An enterprising
policeman was assigned to the case,
and in invading an apartment on N
street collected several "stop" signs.
school warning" and mo parking"
signals, which he removed to the sta
ton house and then informed his su.
periors of the facts.
This bit of buffoonery is liable to
be well remembered by the youth who
perpetrated it. Traffic officials are de-
termined to carry the matter to the
limit, and it Is proper that they
should do so. This lad, if undisci-
plined for his distorted sense of values.
might get into very serious trouble
later on, and it is we'll to check
such impulses at their inception. He
is probably the kind who in Hal
loween prank wanders along the
street, stopping every now and then
to let the air out of the tires of parked
automobiles, or if he is driving a car
on slushy day and sees an attrac-
lively attired woman near a big pud-
die, drives through it at great speed.
1t is a lot of fun to watch the dis.
mayed expression on the face of the
recipient Of the mud bath. 1t all
comes under the head of humor. of
course, but it is the kind Of humor
that demands the attention of the
police.

Reapportionment.

Future historians and commentators
upon the development of Government
in the United States will have a SUBJ
ject of interest and importance to dis
cuss in the failure Of the Congress to
respect and abide by one of the funda-
ton under which it was created and
by which it is governed. This is the
third clause of the second section of
the first article Of the Constitution,
as amended by the fourteenth amend
ment, which provides as follows:
Representatives shall be appor-
toned among the several States ac-
cording to their respective numbers.
counting the whole number of per-
sons in each State, excluding Indians
NOT taxed, The actual emu
meration shall be made within three
wears after the first meeting of the
Congress of the United States and
within every subsequent term Of ten
wears, in such manner as they shall
by law direct. The number of Rep
resentatives shall not exceed one for
every thirty thousand, but each State
shall have at least one Representative.
This clause established the decen-
nial census as a means of determin,
ing the apportionment of the lower
branch of Congress. The enumeration
was for no other purpose. 1t has been
faithfully conducted ever since and
until the present decade it has been
made as the Constitution directs the
ba sis of that apportionment. Ever
since the census Of 1920 was taken,
however, Congress has neglected to
revise the apportionment and conse-
ouently the House Of Representatives
ia established in accordance with the
census of 1910. Repeated efforts to
secure the enactment of an apportion-
nent law have been defeated through
inability to agree upon the necessary
