Editor, Times:
Among the expenses Of running
an automobile, one might as well
count TIT cost of FORGETTING col
lateral on the occasional and in.
eVitable traffic ticket. It saves
time and money.
One experience with the crowd
ed and sloW-moving Traffic Court,
Is enough to convince almost any
motoriSt that he may as well let
MS collateral stay In police hands,
even II he it sure he has good
defense. Unfortunately this can
only be done on smaller charges.
Isn't there some way for a citi-
zen to state his side of the case,
without sitting in a dingy court
room for the better part of the
Gay, waiting for his case to be
called?
Surely there should be more
than one judge to hear traffic
cases, since day after day, I I'M
derstand, this branch of the Pc
lice Court is crowded to capacity.
The fines collected in one
month from citizens who do not
care to lose a whole day from
their employment would probably
pay the salary of IN extra judge
Tor a whole year. ]. T.
Editor, Times: =
A recent picture in The Times,
taken from an. airplane, showed
that violent happenings proceed
ing and following the murder Of
Miss Mary Baker happened over
wide area in nearby Govern
ment reservation.
Another newspaper item pointed
out that a mysterious shooting
happened in the same vicinity a
year ago
Surely all this should show that
immediate steps should be taken
Tor the policing of this section.
These outcroppingS Of violence
are only surface indications OF
the surreptitious law violations,
which are possible in a section
convenient to the city.
A repetition of such a murder
should not occur, If. proper police
ing can prevent it.. The necessity
for this policing has been SUI
ficiently proven by now. to put
it mildly. A. B.

Have Paid KidnaperS
Big Sum-.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Fred Burke,
notorious killer and bank robber,
was reported today to have KID
naped Harold Cusak, reputed beer
runner. and released him for $4,000
ransom, after holding him captive
for several days.
While he was held prisoner IN q
sumer resort cabin near here, Cusak
was said TO have signed a note Tor
100000 and attempted to borrow
that amount from Chicago under
world friends on a threat OF death.
The $4,000 finally was collected by
Joe Cusak, a brother.
-Four gunner, including Burke,
who had two sawed-of shotguns
strapped to his side, kidnapped the
beer runner from a Chicago saloon,
it was reported. At the summer re-
sort cabin he pleaded with Burke
not to kill him, but insisted that he
would be unable to raise 100000.
Burke has been known by police
throughout the nation as the most
dangerous mar alive since he. wan
tonly murdered a traffic policeman
i. in St. Joseph, Mich, last Decem-
{ Der. While posing as a respectable
citizen, police found he had COM
mitted scores of robberies.
An arsenal and a cache of. $319,S5O

elusive section of st. Joseph, Mich.
He also has been identified as the
killer of the seven George (Bugs)
Moran gangsters in the st. Valentine
massacre of 1929 in Chicago and

Several months ago Burke escaped

WIDEN The STRAND
London Completes Project
Costing $7,5O0,000.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-A job begun
thirty-hve years ago, which has cost
more than $7,500,000, virtually Is
completed here, but in a few years
may have to be done all over again.
The task involved widening OF the
Strand. known to millions of tour
lists, was undertaken when it be-
came obvious that the many bottle
neck" distractions would seriously
hamper movement of normally IN
creasing traffic.
Experts now predict that in an
other twenty years traffic difficult
ties on the Strand will have IN
creased to such an extent that the
new width of eighty feet from wall
to wall ma not be sufficient.

 The accuracy is controlled by a sphere of quartz crystal about three inches in diameter. The sphere keeps at a constant rate the fre- quency of an electric current which runs the clock. These crystals also are used for frequency control of electric currents.

He was accompanied by Prince George, his brother, and the heir to the throne surprise his old hunt ing acquaintances by returning to the bold riding and daredevil reCk- lessness of former days.
 He took hedges and fences and ditchcs with abandon and skill,
 The appearance of the Prince of Wales aroused cheers, especially among those who remembered the courage with which he took risks during his frequent hunts several years ago,
 The prince rode two hunters dur ing the morning, borrowing both from King Georges equerry, Gen. George Paynter. Prince George rode two hunters borrowed from F. Am prose Clark, the American.
 The prince, vho gave up hunting shortly after he was called back from his African bi-- game hunt to the bedside Of his father, who was then seriously ill, rode with his old skill despite his long absence from the saddle. Several times the pace became so strenuous that he rode with his head low on the neck of his mount.
 When the fox crossed river at one point most of the hunters rode along the bank and crossed on the bridge but the heir to the throne and Prince George rode into the WI ter and risked a ducking. They
