JUDGE FREES YOUTH
OF CAR-THEFT CHARGE
Larceny Count Against Charles M.
Whalley Is Dismissed by
Given in Police Court.

A charge of larceny of an automobile
against Charles M. Whalley, Is, Of 419
M street was dismissed by Judge Ralph
Given In Police Court yesterday.
Whalley was arrested after the car
In which he was riding turned over and
killed two occupants on January 10,
near Clarendon, Va. The youth was
exonerated when 1t was learned in court
that the two boys who were killed,
Francis Slaughter and Daniel Weston,
had police records. and that Whalley
was not driving the car. Testimony
revealed that the machine was stolen on
Thursday, January II, and that Whalley
had not participated In the theft. Whal-
ley declared he had known the boys for
three weeks and that they had invited
him to go with them on the Saturday
night of the accident. All investigation
of the case by Virginia authorities re-
vealed that Whalley had not been driv-
ing at the time of the accident. De-
tective Frank Alligood testified that
when questioned at the seventh pre-
cinct, following his arrest, Whalley was
undecided whether or not he had been
driving the car.
Judge Given commended Detective
Alligood for his work in the case, but
said there was no evidence to support
the charge.

Balaam, a prophet for profit, was en-
ployed by the King of the Moabites to
curse the children Of Israel, but was
compelled by controlling and inspiring
Divinity to bless them. The Bureau
of Efficiency, an investigating agency
of the National Government, was ex-
pected by many to curse the District
taxpayers with cOndemnatory facts and
figures, but, functioning conScientiOusIy,
1t has been driven irreSistibly by truth
and justice to defend and bless them.
The Bureau has by its intelligent
labors collected pertinent facts and
figures, which, when thoughtfully
analysed, sustain the contentious of the
District petitioners for financial equity
The Bureaus statistical tables COM
pare the tax, revenue and expenditures
figures of IA cities between 100000 and
100000 of population with those of
Washington, (a) frst with all Govern
ment property excluded from the Wash
ington calculation and (b) second with
certain Government property viewed as
taxable for municipal purposes on the
same basis as the property of indi-
viduals.
The District contends that while its
tax rate is comparatively low its assess
ment standards are CORRESPONDENCE
high, and that its resulting tax burden.
when tax rate and assessment are
brought together, is adequate from every
point of view, and that in consideration
Of the peculiar disabilities under which
the District labors its tax burden is
much harder to bear than that of the
comparable American city.
Low Tax Rate; High Assessment.
In the fourteen cities which the Bureau
compares with Washington not one has
as low tax rate as Washington and
not one has as high per capita tax
assessment of real property as that of
Washington (b) and only one (BoSton)
as high per capita assessment as that
of Washington (a).

The report of the Bureau of Efficiency

several angles WaShington's contention
and demonstration that its standard of
assessment Is so high in comparison with
those of other cities that its compare

total tax burden is on level with those
of other cities. WaShington's property
assessment should be low in comparison

n.REDFyLs PLAYING SAFE

The Swiss aviators who made thelr oujet start to fly from Portugal to Halifax and beyond, at least ihus' be credited with more caution than some other transatlantic aviators or the past. With them they have nneumatic boat, life belts, a large supply of food, and will be sure 10 turn back if there is evidence that the fus1 is nlaying out. They give the impression, after all these prepara- tion in the realm of safety, that they know enough to turn back for oth- CT reasons if they should pop up
 On the other hand everything might go well throughout the jour- nev and they may be numbered among the elite who have succeed ed in making the hazardous west ward passage over the ocean. Whatever happens, we have not long to wait It may be possible that, by the time this sees print, there may be something definite in the pa q pers respecting success or failure. . That, of course, will be on page one
 But no matter what happens, no aviators ever surpassed Kaeser and Luescher in precautionary measures.

provements and a less ratio of school costs at the same time. Try to fig ure that out except on the basis of electioneering promises.
 Improved streets cost money, too. Let an administration be the unfor- tunate possessor of a board of pub lie works which neglects the streets and the howl will be an ominous re- hinder that there will be radical changes made in city hall personnel after the next election. And so it goes down the line" One cannot avoid the conclusion that the prom ises of economy are merely e-elec- tion myths. No candidate in reality would dare to be sufficiently eco- nomical to hamstring the future pro- gress of the city.
 Progress costs money; and the faster the city grows the more need there is of progress.

THE OID- FASHIONED FEMININE TRAITS!

Ellen: T think girls who are really feminine are the most attrac- tive to men, don't you think they are?"
 Fred: Absolutely"
 Ellen: q mean I think it's really the old-fashioned feminine traits in a girl that men admire, don't you honestly think it is?"
 Fred: "Yeah-you bet."- Ellen: q mean men like to play round. sort of, with the girls who are terribly modern in their views and all but I think when they marry they want to marry a girl who is like their mother or something, do you know what I mean?"
 Fred: Yeah, that's a fact"
 Ellen: But think it's awfully hard to have the old-fashioned feminine traits nowadays, don't you really think it is?"
 Fred: Yeah, I guess that's right"
 Ellen: T mean, if you are old fashioned and all people think you're just poisonous. prude." Fred: Yeah, you're right there.

FIERY EXCITEMENT

Among the thrills which come to almost everyone who happens to be employed in the downtown section is that which accompanies the noise of the fire siren. Immediately, with precision extraordinary, traffic be- comes glued to the pavements and eager eyes are, turned up Main street, whence the thunderbolts from Commercial street are expected.
 The fire chiefs automobile usual ly hoves in sight like the proverbial flash, it's horn footing a never ceas- ing whine. If the fire happens to be in the southern section of the city the automobile dashes straigt along the eastern boundary of Gen. tral park, which is contrary to the traffic rules for more plebean craft A few seconds before the "chiefs car' appears police have arranged a right of way down the hazardous stretch of pavement, which is very important to both the chief and such autoists who might find themselves in the way.
 Then, the excitement over, every one talks about it and when the thrilled beholders arrive at home they impart the big news to their family circles All ask about the fire, but of course, on that point there usually is less information. The plan is to wait for the newspapers to im part this information.
 The newspapers in due course i'm part the information. Usually this takes up only a few lines of type to the effect that a small fire threat ened to become d big one but didn't: that some lard started burning on a Kitchen range; or that somebody while smoking a cigarette in bed let the bed quilts catch afire.
 No matter how trivial the blaze. however, when the chiefs go-cart traverses the Center the excitement is just as big and intense as if half the town were burning down. If at that moment the railroad gates happen to be down the excite ment so to speak, is slightly intensi- fled.
