Two escort cars almost enabled
Brew TO escape. 1t was said, and
later the fugitives made a des-

that DR.. Havenner probably was

This is the opinion of Col. c. Q.

in the office of Public Buildings and

him the proffer of the post OF city
manager of Cincinnati. in which
post he has scored another striking
success.
Backs Times Plan
In commencing The Washington
Times campaign for replacing the
present commission form OF gov
ernment in the Capital with a city
manager. Mr.. Sheriff. advances the
suggestion that a "citN council be
appointed by the President. consist
ding of nine members, and that Con
cress should give them the same
authority that is given the council
of other cities: that is complete
legislative power within certain
limitation of tax rate, with a GER
tain contribution from Congress
and without the interference or con
troll of the Bureau of the Budget or
any other governmental agency. ex
cept in so far as the limitation OF
tax rate and authority to issue
bonds should be fixed by Congress
with this set.up, the city coun
Gil would be chosen from citizens
of Washington, and would have
complete power as to governing the
city of Washington except as Il
the Government properties.
This council swouIll then appoint
city manager, who wonld have
complete control Over the executive
and administrative departments a

subject to dismissal at any time by
the council, as Is now the case in

81 GIFTS ASKED
FOR HOME FOR
INCURABLES

For the first time in several
years the Washington Home for
Incurables is making an appeal
for financial help in the work OF
caring for destitute persons
1t wants five or six thousand
people to each contribute 81 to
help provide for the 108 patients
at the home who will never be
well again and who will never
know real happiness.
The Home gets no help from
the Community Chest fund. A
recent report on the Public Wei
fares showed the home had the
lowest per capita expense. 1t
operates at a cost of $438 per per
son a year.
Private Rooms Provided
Despite the low cost of opera
ton, however, nearly all the pa
tients have their own private
rooms. 1t is the only institu-
tlon of it's kind in the country to
provide such accommodations.
The endowment fund of the
home is about half a million dol
lars, yet it is not quite sufficient
to pay all expenses. Since last
spring about $4,000 has been bor-
roWed to take care Of bills until
the income on property is paid.
There is a large waiting list OF
persons wishing to gain admit
tance. At present the so waiting
on the list are in most cases
forced to lie in bed at home
alone-while the one supporting
them works for their living. They
got no care through the long pain
full days, nothing to eat except
food prepared in the early morn
ing. Their lives are miserable. In
the home they would receive every
attention, have company and at
least contentment and the peace

CHINA THINKS IT OVER

Several dispatches from Asia were significant. One had it that the Chinese were now keenly desirous of avoiding war with Russia; another had it that the Chinese army is seriously outnumbered and that the Nationalists have decided upon the draft. From all of this it must look to the carefree observer that the Russians are a trifle bellicose be- cause they knew their superiority in numbers from the beginning. The Chinese have had 12 years of ex- perience in conducting warfare and started out in the railroad seizure with a plenitude of confidence. But this experience in military affairs has been against Chinese troops. Be-
 tween the lines of the Chinese dis
 patches one can almost read regret that the imbroglio was ever started.

VERMONT AND TROLLEYS

Some time ago the Boston Post printed a story which tried to give the impression that Vermont now is a trolleyless state. The New York Herald Tribune followed with an edi- torial which recalled the progress of the times and how within a span of little more than 30 years the trolley came and vamoosed in Vermont.
 All of which was interesting, ex- cept that the trolleyless state was merely a state of mind.
 The Rutland Herald, commenting upon the condition. calls upon the gods to witness the fact that the trolley line between Springfield and Charleston and the line between Waterbury and Stowe are still in operation. It is also a fact that the line between Bennington and Massa- chusetts to the south is in operation.
 Vermont is nearly a trolleyless state-but not quite. The few re- maining trolleys may yield to the buses in due course, but until that happens the Vermonters will still be able to see what a trolley car looks like without leaving the boundaries of their>poble heritage.
 The trouble with a lot of outside papers is that they write without in- vcstigation.

BICYCLE ENDURANCE

It seems, too, to be an age of en- durance tests. We have had exciting stories of how long airplanes could remain aloft; and flag pole sitters. And just recently a New Britain youth varied the picture by riding a bicycle for more than 30 hours.
 Almost everyone of mature years, who once operated a bicycle when they were almost as common means of locomotion as walking, takes a passive interest in cyclists even now provided it's the other fellow pedalling up a hill as they pass in their Rolls Roughs. At least, ones sympathy goes out to the unfortu- nate who must work as they traverse the highways, and who must know how to dodge autos even as pedestrians do.
 But this idea of an endurance test on a bicycle strikes us as going too far.

RESPECT FOR POLICEMEN

That the individual policeman is entitled 10 public regard, as was stressed during a court trial here, is in line with the most enlightened conception of public duty and good citizenship. Policemen, rather than to be considered as human ogres abroad to spoil fun, are representa- tives of the public conscience, and it must never be overlooked that they are the protectors of all worthy citi- zens. The average policeman needs no higher encouragement than an occasional kind word while on his rounds, and he invariably reCipro- cates like no other human being.

ENGLAND WINS A POINT

The determined effort of officials of Great Britain to obtain a larger share of reparations sums apparently has resulted in success, after The Hague convention nearly broke down several times.
 In principle the British demands are compromised to the extent of 70 per cent-which seems very favor able.
 Great Britain, tired of holding the bag for her continental allies, has frightened it considerably. All shades of opinion in England extend a vast credit to the Labor government which to the surprise of many has as its first accomplishment substantial saving to the British taxpayer.

WIRES AND AIRPORTS

Looked at through the eyes of a layman, it seems to us that high voltage electric wires have no busi- ness being alongside a municipal air port as is the case in Los Angeles. True, attention is called to the wires by red lights, but they are of no great help when airmen are con- fronted with a change in atmosphere resulting in difficulty of maneuver- ing. It is safe to assume that the next improvement around the Los Angeles airport will.be the placing of the dangerous wires underground or changing them to a different locality. The Graf Zeppelin's narrow escape was due to good luck and the quick dropping of ballast. An airplane, un- der similar conditions, would have been faced with similar hazards.
