for jobs, the trolley company and the cities could get the rails taken up now at d lower cost than perhaps several months later.
 Fourth, the old trolley cars could be taken from the trucks and sold along the shore for summer cottages or bath houses, and the value re- ceived would offset the cost Of talk ing the coaches from the trucks and taking the coaches to the shore.
 Fifth. trolleys are doomed to ex- tlnction before many years have passed and to take advantage of the present business depression so as 10 save cost while making the change would show good business acumen by the trolley companies.

served his Irish good humor and never allowed himself to become petulant, but the former close friends were never reconciled, al- though Shaw made overtures again in 1926, 12 years later, when he wrote Jones a note recording that he was mot to be shaken off"
 During the last ten years of his life. Jones attacked Shaw and H. G. Wells bitterly. He wrote one book, MT Mayor of Shakespeare's Town" attacking Shaw so violently that after six copies had been printed the publishers decided to throw the type into the hell box. One copy of the book is now in the British museum. When Jones died two years ago. Shaw wrote his daughter, Doris:
 T never had the slightest doubt that the real old friendly relations between your father and myself were there all the time beneath of top dressing of denunciatory rhetoric that amused us both.'

WOOS SWISS GIRL
 ID JET SMUGGLER
Customs Agent Learns Code
 Used in Watch Shipments

New York, July is Pl-How tho ardent wooing of a young Swiss maiden by an American customs agent broke up a million dollar watch smuggling ring was disclosed today by federal officials.
 Arie Salzmann, 21 years old. was charmed by the suave manners of the handsome and seemingly wealthy young American who could court her in French, German and Italian. The agent. who has since lei. the service and whose name has not been disclosed. learned from her the meanings of the words Esther" and Uncle" whose frequent appearance in cables puzzled customs officials.
 Esther" he learned, meant shipments" and Uncle" meant "customs brokers" here. Thus, the message, Esther is sick and should go back to Europe" was understood to mean that as soon as the ship ment reached this side it should ba sent back, since government au- thorities were suspicious.
 On the basis of this information convictions were obtained against two of the smugglers and two ex- anliners at the United States ap~ praisers' stores, who were bribed to pass Swiss watches and watch move- ments into this country as earthen- ware and bronze pieces. The young woman consented to come to the United States to testify against the ring, but because of pleas of guilty by the smugglers this was unneces- sary.

TROLLEYS DOOMED,
 WOODS OPINION
Lawyer Willing to Head Con-
 nittee to End Trolley Cars

There has never been so good a time as now. and probably never will be so favorable a time, man cially speaking. for the trolley lines to be eliminated and buses substi- tuted declared Prosecuting Attor- ney Joseph c Woods today n an interview on the beneits that might be derived by the t-ollev companies n New England al a time ot fnan- cial and industrial depression in putting trol!eys out and buses Tn, and revamplnE the whole short -rarspor-auon structure. especially ln Connecucur and in New Britain.
 According to President PUnder- ford ot the Connecticut Co., the trolley situation n Connecticut IS III a deplorabla condition. Business is dropping every week, according to Mr- Pundertord. who vas quoted re- gently n the press.
 The bus serNces are doing about as much business as formerly. es- peclaIly ID places where a scent fare IS n operation. The fact seems 70 be. according to Attorney Woods, that the trolley riding public has be- come bIs-uinded, and no longer want 10 ride on cars that bump along or uneven tracks, have hard cusn4ored seats and cannot draw up 70 3 curb on d rainy day 10 take on rasser=ers They demand buses with -h4ir rubber tlros. well-pa9ded seats and backs. and fex,bIlirv in -rafi.c. vlth higher speed between terminals.

 Mr. Woods bases his contention for buses on the following points: First. buses can now be bought for a lower price than f industry was at 3 high reak. They can be bought or q small payment down and monthly payments 10 extend over q period Of many months thus relieving ghe transportation com pany from tull cash payments and allowing sort Of pay as We get the money from passengers basis.

SHAW NOT SWAYED
 BY PUBL|C'S VIEWS
Lost Many Friends When He
 Opposed World War

London, July IS LP-George Der nard Shaw, whose 74th birthday will be feted by the literary world on July 26, has never been influenced by public sentiment.
 He hates war. Napoleon, Caesar and Shakespeare, in his viewpoint have only ordinary dimensions.
 Shaw lost many friends because of his hostile attitude toward the World War His feud with Henry Arthur Jones, the British milk boy who lived to earn a half million dol lars as a playwright, dated from 1914. In that year Jones took eX- ception to Shaw's views of the war. The following year the feeling against Shaw became so intense that Jones and a number of others avoid ed meeting Shaw at the dramatists club.
 Wrote Him Letter
 T hope you are not one of these several members" Shaw wrote him. Though in these raving times 1t is nara to hlO". SieciIui "OiI VI club, isn't it?"
 To which Jones replied:
 "England's cause is a righteous one ... and you should not be sur prised that. in the agony and bloody sweat of fighting for our life, we have no patience with man who tries to trip us up"
 Shaw answered:
 Good, but what is England's cause? =. You think England, your mother. is on a sick bed ... Ger many has not dogs chance against her. and never had from the begin ming. ....'

WHAT'S NEWS?

Senator Hastings Of Delaware calls attention
to the fact that the tendency of the metropolitan
press IS to play up only the sensational and the I'M
usual among happenings in Washington and that the
result is that the people get distorted view of the op
eratlons OF government
In order to get the headlines, Senator Hastings
correctly concludes it is necessary for politician to
get up and denounce somebody or something and es-
peclaly to defy the majority in his own party or in
Congress. Members of Congress who quietly go a.
head doing constructive work for the good of the
country get little no attention. rna-
How much is printed IN the daily press about the
many beneficial laws enacted and administrative &C
lions taken which cannot be sensationally treated?
Very little, indeed
In the general news field this is not surprising.
The citizen who goes ahead doing useful work, obey
ing the laws and attending to his own business does
not break into the headlines. Let him commit muir
Ger, however, and he at springs into the head
lines It is not surprising that under these circum
stances readers conclude that nothing good is going
on in the world
Perhaps there needs to be some revision of opin-
ion as to what constitutes Surely the reading
public must grow weary Of being given nothing but
the bizarre, freakish and unusual There must be
some interest in the lives OF useful people which is
worthy Of attention in the metropolitan press In
fact behind many of these Work-a-day doings is an
interesting story, of real human interest Public in
terest does not alone attach to the abnormal, the
criminal, the sensational
