stated. cover Other boroughs than
the Bronx. 1t is indicated that the be-
ginning hes only been made in the un-
covering of city-wide graft that has
been costing far more than the seven
millions first estimated.
The padded pay roll is one OF the
most familiar forms of municipal graft
There are variations of the theme, such
AS the contract for supplies never de-
livered, vouchers for services at twice the
rate named in the contract. covered up
by the explanation Of extra work" and
the overtime" game. But the nom
existent worker is the favorite form of
looting the public treasury, 1t has been
regarded as the safest method. for no.
body is cheated out of anything except
the taxpayer. and he is an impersonal.
amorphous creature who is not usually
in a position to complain. even II he
finds that he Is being cheated.
This disclosure of graft on a rather
large scale, which has been going on for
some time. may give the agile mayor
of Greater New York something to
think about other than five-cent fares
and the welcoming of notables.

Airport Legislation.

As the topic Of early congressional
adjournment is raised fear and panic
strike the hearts Of thousands who
have vital interest in pending legis-
lation. Among those affected are the
people OF Washington who are hoping
that the airport subject will be disposed
Of in order that the Capital City, with
extra effort. may rush forward and take
its place in the long and ever-growing
list Of large cities which are equipping
themselves TO care for aerial transpor-
tation.
II the airport legislation fails at this
session. Washingtons opportunity TO
take advantage of the benefits offered
BY commercial aviation. both locally and
nationally. will receive a setback of at
least another year. The airport site
generally agreed upon cannot be estab-
lished as an operating airdrome over
night. Two years have been indicated

major development In the progress OF

attempts TO predict that this unprece-

A Quiet" Automobile.

An English inventor has arrived in
America with an automobile that is
guaranteed to bring misery to the
habitual "back-seat" driver. Instead of
both the front and rear seats facing
forward. as In the conventional car.
this unique creation is constructed so
that the back seat is reversed. BY this
means passengers are not only barred
from conversation with the driver, but
are prevented. because of lack of vision.
from commenting on the narrow es-
capeS in traffic. They will have a beau
tiful view at all times OF the long cloud
Of dust behind the car when travelling
on country roads.
While the back-seat driver is un-
doubtedly a pest. he certainly does not
deserve the harsh treatment that this
inventor would give him. Few people
take kindly to riding backward. in a
train or any other conveyance. and
when it is specifically pointed out to
them that this particular automobile Is
designed to make conversation impos-
sible they are not likely to accept in
vitations for a drive. The wonder Of
it is that the owner of this reversed"
automobile finds it necessary to go to
such lengths to preserve quiet. He
could accomplish the same thing by
driving alone.
