 Doll for Companion

The three year old son of Paul o. Wagner of 76 Clark street Is too young to appreciate the stir he caused in the household yesterday afternoon when he vanished from sight
 At $40 o'clock police headquar- ters received word that the boy was missing. Anxious relatives had secured the neighborhood and the search continued for an hour. Then someone had an idea.

JUST \ LITTLE MORE GRAND

After all that has been heard late ly regarding the drop in the real estate market and the dirges sung by gentlemen who demanded that the assessments be radically reduced or all property that is manifestly worth less, comes the 1880 model of the city's grand list; and instead Of it's being lower in stature it is just 8 little bit higher than the 1929 model.
 Our manufacturing plants ably came to the rescue of the grand list They did not do so intentionally, but higher taxation due 10 their growth able. One never hears a squawk from the manufacturing plants regarding taxation; the executives glance al the figures, remark to themselves that nothing is more certain than death and taxes, and in due course apply the fountain pens to the check books and the city may or may not say thank you'
 The fact that the grand list con tnued to show at least a slight ad- vance in the lace of admittedly re- duced valuations in many kinds of realty indicates that the city con- tinues to enjoy a healthy growth.

\ PRESIDENTS HARD LIFE

President Hoover wrote remark ably candid letter to Dr. w. c, Thompson, president emeritus or Ohio State University, in reply to a communication by that gentleman in which he advised tho President not to he discouraged by agitators and falsehoods.
 Mir. Thompson's letter in the first place also was quite remarkable. Few of us. until this came up, thought Of the President being in- iured by &gitators and faIsehoods There have been claims made, on the contrary. that the President was be- ing helped by a deal Of favorable publicity which, the claimants say is not always justified by the facts To hear of the President being in iured in this manner is at least something new under the sun.
 To return 10 the Presidents re ply one tinA5 that he refers to cer- tain gentlemen as mixing mud and pies. and he defends the use Of boards and commissions as neces- sary to The dcovery and promulsa ton Of truth.
 The President seems 10 dislike "Iemagogs." Truth is something the demagog is unable 10 digest, he says. But find thc deTnagog who doesn't think he is all apostle of light and that the other fellow, If there must be dcmagogs, Is among their number. Try to discover some truth. alleged or fGncicd. that some other intelli- gent person doesn't regard as error. And he who bases all actions on facts still runs tn" risk Of taking the wrong action upon q perfectly cot rect array Of facts and statistics Facts alonc arc not enough; supple mentIng them with uncrrins action Is quite another matter.

THE PARROT DISEASE

The public is receiving another dose Of liberal education-free of cost-on the power of germs, bacilli or what the bugs that cause disease may be called in particular cases This naturally refers to the preva lence of a disease caused by germs brought into the country by parrots
 Scarcely town in the country that is not taking a sort of unotticia' ! census of the number of new parrots within it's confines. People owning such birds are inquiring as to how it has been since the parrot disease started; If they bought their birds since that time, it will be rathe1 hard on the animals, but human life must be preserved first.
 No profession seems 10 be con fronted with more unexpected prob. lens than the medical profession. When the influenza germ devastated the country now years ago there was no doctor in the land who could say definitely what the germ was like. and the admission came freely that the disease was new and mysterious and the only safe manner of guard. ing against Il was to work up strong resistance physique. This by the way. works against almost all other diseases; one way to remain well is to have plenty of resistance. The trouble is to get the resistance if you haven't got it.
 Now along comes this parrot germ. causing numerous scientific doctors to burn the midnight oil In the laboratories. The germ may be discovered. analysed and classified; and then again. it may not be To- cated so easily. Meanwhile an entire nation is caused to shiver with dread and every parrot, be he or she ever so harmless, is looked upon with suspicion,
 Best we can do is to wish the doctors all the luck in the world.

concerting disagreement over what to do about ascertained knowledge declared to be facts.
 The President gives the impression he is much disturbed about the troubles of presidential office. He goes so far as to say there are some worthies who would delight in seeing his administration fail. although he is confident the majority Of the peo- pie wish him full success.
 The Presidents strength and weaknesses are quite fully manifest ed in the letter he wrote to his friend in Ohio He is strong when he has faith in the majority of the peo- pie, who certainly wish their Presi- dent well, even though some Of then voted for MT. Al Smith. IL is d peculiar and most lamentahla sort Of human frailty 10 wish the. chic: executive Of the land ill merely be- cause he happens to be of the other party.
 But the weakness ties in expect ing widespread concurrence with every idea, thought and ideal that sprouts Tn the White House, No President has ever had such good fortune and it is unlikely that Mr. Hoover will have it. There are critics of the administration and they are by no means mum bslulls. These see no reason why the President should be regarded as infallibe. Many of these, in the Senate particularly, are among the nations leading men, in- diyiduals who have been in public life much longer than the President. For such as these to be outspoken is @ benefit. rather than disad- vantage, 10 the country. The time will never come in this country so long as democracy endures within it when keen minds will not be pitted against each other in debate and in action. A one-sided this way-and- no-other' system isn't in the cards in this land of the free.
 President, Hoover has been re- ceiving q fair evaluation; he is being accorded better public reception than many a president who went be- fore him. To be President is a task, | not a years nap on a bed of roses.

AND 50 THE CHICKS
 ARE HOME ID BOOST
Back i'll Coop After Having Had
 Three Owners

A strong bull market prevailed here yesterday for stolen chickens with the last quotation 100 DOT cent advance over the first. but when Sergeant Feeney entered he picture the market went to pieces with the final transfer made at zero figures and two men figuring in the transaction were left holding the bag while two boys procuring the chicken face juvenile court
 Last night at the humble home of Mir, Nasilias at 97 Fulton street, two chickens glad to be back in the familiar chicken coop tucked their heads under their wings and went to sleep after a hectic A hours dur ing which they had had three diff fercnt owners.
 Two 15 year old boys, in want of money for motion pictures, so they told Sergeant Fceney, went to the Nasilias chicken coop Sunday night and gaining entrance by smashing the paddock With a hammer, stole two chickens.
 Fastening to the home of Josepl: Pudol on the same street they offer ed him the chickens for 50 cents eachy and being a thrifty man he recognized the bargain, paving the money and asking no questions.
 Yesterday morning he sold then to Rocco Runcattio of South street for S2 just doubling his mcnev. So far the plot had worked out very well for all concerned.
 But last evening Mr. Nasilias en- tered q complaint to the police and Sergeant Fceney was detailed 10 look / irto the matter. He did not let any grass grow under his feet, but inside | of two hours had restored the chick | ems and apprehended the thieves, getting a confession from them.

THE LAW ENHANCEMENT
 MESS


 The law situation in this country is like this: We recognize an evil .needs to be eradicated or regulated and then we pass law about it.. Then when the law doesn't work we pass another law in order to put teeth in the earlier law. Something still remains to be desired, and then we pass another law to rectify what on infinitum. In due time We have so many laws on the books that even a Philadelphia lawyer would go in sane trying 10 find all of them.
 Something of the sort has been happening In the prohibition busi- ness. The 18th Amendment and the Nolstead Act. simple enough in their original implications. have been interpreted" by host of de- cisions for the guidance of interested parties. Then there are 25 prohibit ton statutes enacted during 40 years of legislative effort; and there has come the Jones law. Individual states have been as active as bees trying to add law upon law, some of them claiming to be bone dry in theory as a result, but actually not vastly different from the remainder
 Now the Presidents law enforce ment committee headed by George W. Wickersham has made pre- liminary report, the gist of which IS that there should be more laws pass ed and those VIC already have should be 'codfied" into something nearly approaching reasonable harmony.
 Nowhere in the report is there hint that the 18th Amendment may be basically at fault. The amend nent and the Nolstead Act is taken for granted and upon them it is sug- gestcd that more laws be passed and enforced.
 The commission is 10 be commenI- ed for being frank. No attempt is made throughout the report to un. derrate the difficulties Of enforce lnent; rather there Is thorough going analysis of the laws tribula- tions; the loading of the court doclsets with petty e scs, the slow ness of judicial procedure under the indictment and jury system. and the ultimate "bargain days at the finish, when offenders instead Of be- ing severely punished go free with minimum Of punishment In order 10 clear the dockets 10 make room for other eases. It is sad picture.
 The division Of enforcement be tween the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice is sub- jected 10 the anticipated criticisms, and the commission definitely sug- guests that the investigation and preparation Of cases be transferred to the Department Of Justice. This suggestion has been made many times. The importance of concen- trating responsibility is emphasized and the present anomaly Is roundly condemned. This plan would clip some of the responsibility of en- forcement from the shoulders Of MT. Mellon, which would be satis. factory 70 prohibitionists. still Con. gress despite it's reputcd drynnss has hestatcd 10 take this step. f
