Gov Allen urged that 1t be q pattern
for similar institutions In other States
and for the Nation. When the Wolff
Packing Co. Of Topeka appealed from q
decision Of the court. which fixed q
minimum wage and maximum hours for
the employees OF the company. the SUI
preme Court Of the United States de-
clared that section of the law unconsti-
tutional. In the end the industrial
court was abandoned.
Gov. Allen. like several other KAN
sans who have risen to prominence and
held high public Office, is q newspaper
publisher. It was partly for that reason
that he was selected as director Of pub
licity OF the Republican national COM
nnittee, during the Hoover-Smith presi-
Dental campaign. Gov. Allen had
espoused the cause Of Mr.. Hoover early
In the preconvention campaign. declar-
ing emphatically that Mr.. Hoover should
be nominated for President, although the
Kansas delegation to the Republican
national convention stood pledged four
square to Vice President, then Senator,
Charles Curtis.
The prospective Senator from Kansas
Is colorful figure and an eloquent
speaker. When he was retired from the
Office of governor in 1928. his enemies
ell declared him to be politically dead.
It appears. however. that they were
mistaken. His appointment to the Sen
ate by Gov. Reed holds good only until
the election next year. However. II
may be expected that Gov. Allen will
be candidate to succeed himself as
Senator and that he will make hot

Allen have been on the opposite sides of
too many fences to be political friends.
However. the Vice President determined
last Winter to keep hands off in the
scramble for the Senate seat which he
held up to March 4. Had he wished he
could have resigned early last Winter
and thus given former Gov. Paulen, his
friend. an opportunity to appoint his
successor. But the Vice President held
on as Senator and as Republican leader,
at the request of former President Cool
idge. to aid in putting through the adj
ministration's program OF legislation.

Having solemnly advised the world
yesterday to be suspicious of the woman
who insists on holding her husbands
hand. In public, we thought OF the
Sketches OF Young Couples" written
by Charles Dickens under the signature
Of BOZ"
It may be imagined that we turned
with some haste to our Dickens shelf,
In fear that we might have unwittingly
gone over the same ground, Tor one OF
his most shining young couples is The
Loving Couple"
A re-reading Of that chapter, how
ever, convinced us, as 1t win any one
else, that Dickens was entirely his own
man. It was refreshing to discover that
the great Victorian backed up our state
ment. however.
"There cannot be a better practical
illustration Of the wise saw and ancient
instance" he begins, that there may
be too much Of good thing, than is
presented by loving couple,
He means. of course, In public.
Undoubtedly 1t Is meet and proper
that two persons joined together In holy
matrimony should be loving; and un.
questionably it is pleasant to know and
see that they are SO; but there Is
time for all things, and the couple who
happen to be always in a loving state
before company are well nigh In
tolerable."
So said Dickens, in this Sketch by
Boz" He declares that in taking this
position he did not seek alone the SYM
pathy Of bachelors, who might be ex-
pected to agree with him on general
principles. but simply wanted to hold
out a warning to the married.
"Iet all couples, present or to come,
therefore profit by the example OF Mr.
and Mrs. Leaver, themselves loving
couple In the first degree"
The Leavers, by one OF those queer
uuirks of fortune (Which occurred SO
often in Dickens that one must sus-
pect that he made the fortunes TO sun
HIMSELF, happened to be. named Au-
gusta and Augustus, thereby giving our
author chance for the repeCtioi'
which he loved so well.
DO YOU recall the dialogue?
Augusta, my SOUL" says Mr.. Leaver.
Augustus, my life" replies Mrs
Leaver.
uuoth Mr.. Leaver.
Il couldn't, indeed" returns Mrs
Leaver.
"Do. my love-" says Mr.. Leaver.
At couldn't possibly, my love- replies
Mrs. Leaver, land it's very naughty OF
you to ask me-"
Naughty, darling" cries Mr.. Leaver
"Yes, very naughty and very cruel,
returns Mrs. Leaver, for you know
have a sore throat, and that to sing
would give me great pain. You're a
monster, and hate you. Go away
Times have changed, indeed, since
Dickens wrote the preliminary sketches
which showed him and the world that
he could do novels.
Imagine, If you can, a writer OF TO-
day serving up such dialogue! II would
run more along the following lines:
Hello. kid" said Gus.
"'Lo, Gus" replied Avis.
"Sing me that hot one about You're
the Cream in My Coffee
"Aw, chase yourself, my throat's on
the bum"
Jaw. go on"
Jaw, no. let's have it,"
''You make me sick. Play 1t your

Students of the art of writing, OF
which there are some thousands in the

Dickens used says" twice, replies,

The Triangle. Traffic Problem.

The Public Buildings Commission ccr-
rectly urges careful planning in advance
to meet the transportation problems in
volved in the concentration of thou
sands Of Government employees in the
Avenue-triangle group. The commission
points out that while the area has been
generally provided for. there are details
still to be worked out concerning the
most desirable routes for streets, street
car lines, bus lines, automobile parking
and sidewalks.
The transportation problem alone
should command the attention Of city
planners until the best solution is adopt
ed. While the buildings are still neb-
ulous, one has only to watch the
downtown trafiic during the morning
and afternoon rush hours to under
stand how far from nebulous is the
bridge to be crossed when the buildings
are occupied. Here Is one bridge that
must be crossed far in advance.
The layout of street car tracks would
be simplifled under merged operation
of the lines, which will probably come
long before the time to put down the
tracks. But the concentration of 50
many street cars in such a restricted
area during the morning and afternoon
cars that are arriving from or depart
ing for all sections Of the city-will cause
a congestion that is easy to visualize.
While there has been some discussion
with suggestions for subways or sunken
tracks. no one procedure has reached
the stage of being examined thoroughly
as to its advantages or disadvantages
Parking, loading and unloading tusses
is another problem, and there is only
conjecture, so far, as to whether the
end Of downtown automobile parking
is to come with the occupation of the
new buildings or there is to be studied
attempt to provide for a!l-day parking
of private machines.
Washington has always had to deal
with traffic situation peculiar to this
city alone. It's ability comfortably to
handle the morning and afternoon rush
to and from the triangle will 60 far
toward determining the success Of this
great new housing project. A special
committee of experts might well begin
serious consideration Of this phase OF
the problem now. 1t is as important
as the strength of the foundations now
being laid for the buildings themselves

That gives an increase in the IS

In 1912, there were 228 arrests for
felonieS Of youths between II and 81
years of age. If the ratio of increased
population of such youths, 81 per cent,
were applied to the number of arrests,
1t would show total for 1923 Of 274
arrests in the latter year; instead OF
274, there were 1929 arrests-an in
crease OF $50 per cent for felonies,
Counting misdemeanors and minor
offenses, as well as felonies, there we're.
in 1912, 1856 arrests and in 1928 10.444
An increase of 214 per cent, in a pop
ulation which is only increased 81 per
cent, In short. the follies and crimes
OF youth In the last Is years have
grown ten times faster than the in
crease of youth population. Surely the
Jazz age has reckoning ahead, and
none know 1t more closely than do the
police.
A study of the statistics of youths
Younger than II years is also significant

more than 200 each year for the past

Yet the children are not more incor-

That shows an increase in population
OF l9,153-25 per cent
The arrests in 1912 were zoos and
in 1928 2,973-an increase of AZ per

more numerous than the ratio of in

Nevertheless, Chief Pratt insists that
the figures are misleading. so long as
the statistics count In all the traffic
arrests and also while they fail to note
that under the liquor laws, offenses are
so defined that we're not counted as
violations of law prior to the passage
of the Volstead law In 1919.
In 1912 there were t615 cases Of

After travelling forty yards the ball suddenly explod- ed and in falling short landed on Murphy's shoulders.

A faulty referees decision, rend- cred in an indifferent manner, robbed putnams High reiuvenated Blue Boys of well deserved tie with Bart lett in Webster last Saturday. Well deserved becaused the underdogged Blue and White, with Blondy Sabin driving in two touchdowns. a la Booth in the opening period, displayed the first real form of the season.
 The Nutmeg fullback electrified the thousand attending fans directly after the start as he broke through scrimmage in & sixty-five year gallop fer the initial six pointer. Holgerson failed in try for point. The second period saw the same Sabin, Holgerson combination battering through for three successive first downs and fin ally a second touchdown. Again Hol- gerson failed in the kick.
 A thirty-iive yard pass. Raeieot to Sledzik, in this same stanza, found Bartlett in possession of the oval on Putnam's three yard line. A line buck by Vengyrn brought the score as Cragen effected an irregular point after in an illegitimate crawl. Racicot duplicated Sabin's thriller directly before the close of the game as he gathered in Holgerson's punt to effect sensational thirty-hve yd. run over Putnam's goal line.
 A noisy demonstration, lasting to early evening followed the play as Webster supporters celebrated their seemingly lost cause.
