Nearly complete census figures give Chicago
more than 3,350,0O0 inhabitants.
That is gain of 64S,O00 since the last census
and almost $4,000 more than Chicago's Association
of Commerce expected.
And Chicago hasn't Shown anything yet" Wait
until 5000 seaplanes coming from Europe one
side, Asia the other, drop daily the smooth
waters of Lake Michigan. That is coming, and then
Chicago will have real population, spreading to
Milwaukee on one side, Gary the other.

Roosevelt Defended
In Dry Killing Dispute
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
On the editorial page Of your paper
OF the 10th appears an article written
by John G.. Thompson, In which he
fully sanctions the taking of human
life by weapons to prevent the escape
Of violators of the prohibition law. and
in support of his far-fetched views on
this subject he cites certain magazine
articles written by the late and beloved
President Theodore Roosevelt.
1t is to be noted that in the cited
magazine articles from which Mr..
Thompson quotes, Mr.. Roosevelt spe-
c1f1cally qualified his statement as to
when and in what cases the use of
weapons by officers would be allowed or
countenanced by the police commission
erS in the following language: "If a
criminal showed fight we expected the
of1cer to use any weapon that was re-
quired to overcome him on the instant,
and even, If 1t became needful, to take
me-. Please note that in his own words
the use OF weapons was countenanced
only II the person was known to be a
criminal and showed fight, and that the
taKlng OF life in such case would then
follow only If it became needful" Ger
tainly there is not one word in the
statements made in the magazine ar
tlcles to which Mr.. Thompson refers
which would in the slightest degree
Justify him or any one else in assuming
that Mr.. Roosevelt would countenance
the shooting of a human being for
either the violation of the prohibition
law or for trying to escape from arrest
for such a violation.
therefore, no analogy can be drawn
between the cases to which Mr.. Thomp-
son refers (the ones cited in the maya
zine article and great many of the
shootlngs OF human beings that have
recently occurred in the enforcement of
the prohibition law, wherein it has not
even been claimed that the persons
Killed showed fight" or did anything
except try to escape capture and arrest
And neither of these offenses is even
remotely referred to by Mr.. Roosevelt
IL is therefore unjust to the memory
Oh our great President to try to make it
appear that he would, If living. take the
stand with respect to some Of the re-
cent uses made of weapons which Mr..
thompson takes. w. T. PARROTT.

A Needless Controversy.

Desirable as are the new regulations
OF the Public Utilities Commission to
govern the operation of taxicabs in
Washington they will lose much of
their desirability if they bring the COM
mission and the Police and Traffic de-
partments into dispute and friction in
regard to authority over the handling of
street traffic. The National Capital has
for many years needed just the kind
OF rigid supervision over public car
riers that has now been put into effect
by the commission. Financial liability
for operators Of public vehicles, rigid
requirements to assure character and
competence on the part of drivers and
provisions for the safety Of passengers
by regulating the types of vehicles have
long been needed in the District, but
II the commission attempts to run
counter to the director of traffic in
traffic regulations much of the benefit
so hardly won will be dissipated.
1t is in the commissions lowering of
the age limit for drivers, and changing
the procedure Of inspection following
an accident that the police and Traf-
fic Department feel that they have
been ignored. And logically viewed it
would appear that they are right in
their contention. Fixing of rates and
requiring financial liability and COM
petence on the part of drivers would
naturally be solely within the commits
sion's jurisdiction, while regulation of
trafic in regard to speed and other
rules would seem to be exclusively a
matter for the Police and Traffic De-
partments.
1t Is not likely that the controversy
will get much beyond It's present stage.
While members Of the commission ap-
parently do not feel that they have
usurped authority rightly belonging to
the Traffic or Police Departments, the
actual conflict between the rules laid
down by the director Of traffic and those
proposed by the commission is so slight
that adjustment can readily be made
And no time should be lost in making
it. Too many cooks have spoiled too
many soups to leave the lesson I'M
learned, and no District official desires
anything but success with the new regu-
lations. This success cannot be gained
without harmony.

Says District Assessor
MisquOtes Tag.Tax Law
To the Editor Of The Star

10 the Editor OF The Star:
read in your paper January Is of
the opposition of Tax Assessor Richards
70 mailing autombile tags in the Dis
trlct OF Columbia. He quotes the tax
ana tag laws in Maryland incorrectly.
Maryland cars are taxed as horsepower
and not by weight, and he CONVEYS the
loea That only people living at distant
points have the privilege of getting their
tags by mail. Commissioner of motor
vehlcles In Baltimore prefers that tags
De sent by mail in and out of the city.
He also has force of clerks on duty
1ull "a hours during December to put
tags m the mail as soon as applications
are received.
AS to taxing automobiles, we will take
Prince Georges County, Md You are
supposed to pay your taxes by a certain
GATE at Marlboro. The typewriter
blanks Of each automobile owner. with
run description of car, are sent to the
collector of taxes of Prince Georges
County by the commissioner of motor
vehicles of Baltimore. The tax collector
perforates the applications of those who
nave paid their taxes and sends them
oack TO the commissioner of motor We
hicles at Baltimore and he, in turn
SENDS them to the car owners, and all
you have to do Is to sign the application
blank and inclose check or money order
at the rate of 80 cents per horsepower
plus 10 cents for return mail, and re-
ceive your tags In three or four days,
without any hardship to applicant.

Where do the jokes and tricks Of the
world come from?
We have talked to many men, blu
! never heard any admit the authorship

Thus no one seems responsible fol
the series of trick bets which is goint

Perhaps these are old, but to the vic
Tins at least they are right up to the
minute. After all, anything is new Il
you have not heard it before.

The best of the trick bets is the
following:
Jones approaches Smith with an in
nocent smile.
I'll bet you dime" he begins. Just
why the amount has to be 10 cents nc
one knows, but in many times that we
have heard this bet proposed the sum
has never varied
1t might be for 81, or $40, or Is cents
but it never is any more or less than a
dime.
III bet you dime" continues Jones
that you can't say It's beautiful day
today after each one of three sentences
will say"
Smith thinks it over rapidly.
He can't utter foolish sentence three
times in q row? Why can't he? There
must be some trick to 1t. He has vague
memories of somewhat similar 'psy-
Geological tests" that usually succeed
in making a fool out of man. He
doesn't want to seem afraid, and for
the life of him he can't exactly sec
why can't say IT'S beautiful day
today after three sentences?" he coun-
tiers, fighting for time.
There is no why to it." retorts
Jones. I'll bet you a dime you can't
do it, that's all. No, there is no trick
to it,
The mental combatants look into
each others eyes.
The challenger already has put down
his dime on the table.
Smith brings out thin dime.
"All right" he says, looking very de-
termined.
The spectators-usually there are
spectators-begin to smoker. The goat
has bitten.
"Oh, see the chair!" chortles Jones,
with an innocent air.
Its a beautiful day today" replies
Smith, feeling like sap.
THE clock is running" protests
Jones.
Its beautiful day today" snaps
back Smith. feeling that two-thirds of
the ordeal is over.
And that feeling is where he loses.
Jones, smiling blandly, reaches over
and picks up both dimes.
II win!" he announces triumphantly,
the more triumphantly the better.

Smith looks at him, bewildered.
you VIM" he protests. How do you
get that way?"
Sure I win," smiles Jones, jingling
his 10-cent pieces. MY third sentence
was I win,' and instead Of replying It's
