In drafting regulations for the park

act the Public Utilities Commission and
other District officials concerned should
give more thought to the use of side

vehicles and thorough investigation
made as to the actual requirements and
parking of long strings of busses for
extended intervals in front of the hotels

There is also concerned the question OF
location of suitable central bus termi-

Writer Is Overcome
By Chicken Farm LIRE

From the Buffalo Evening News.
An American novelist and magazine
writer, who SAYS that he has been
batting out half million words a
year for the last quarter of a century,
announces that he is going to give lip
his trade and buy chicken farm in
Florida. He says there is money in
chickens, but reading has gone out of
fashion.
The records of most of the great pub
lie libraries demonstrate that people
stiR read even books, to say nothing of
newspapers and magazines. In fact
the Atatistical evidence of popular alb
sorptiDn of printed matter at the pres
ent time would have appeared unbe-
lievable to the greater literary gen.uses
of earlier generations.
If the authors OF today are going to
turn GENERALLY to chicken farming,
however, perhaps the Federal Farm
Board would be wise 20 begin adequate
preparations at once Another year

Frances Sacrifice.

Inc Pc pie CT Isle UnlIeQ states Will
accord to France full measure Of praise
because Of that nations final attitude
toward the debt suspension plan put
forward by President Hoover. France
of all the nations abroad is called
upcn to make the greatest sacrifice IN
this matter of debt suspension. At the
same time that country has had before
It the fear that any tampering with
the Young plan of reparation payments
by Germany. even It's mere suspension
for a year. might work TO defeat the
German reparations to which France
feels herself entitled because OF the
manner in which she was bled white
during the World War Under such
circumstances it is scarcely matter
Of wander that French statesmen were
unwilling at a moments notice to enter
into an agreement which might have
such momentous consequences for their
country. and that they insisted upon a
careful consideration of all the points
at issue before they asSentcd.
In giving their final assent to the
Hoover debt suspension plan France
has been influenced in part by her
friendship Of many years standing Tor
the United States, as indicated in the
statement issued last night by Premier
Laval To shatter such friendship
at a time when the world needs more
than ever spirit Of cooperation would
be no light thing. Furthermore, the
real situation in Europe, with Ger
many backed up against the wall eco
non1ically. had its influence upon the
French government in this matter
That government had to decide Wneth-
or it was more to the interest OF the
French nation to agree to the present
sacrifice in the matter OF lntergoV-
ernmental Gcbt payments and what
mieht come if Germany and its pres
ent ministry found ii Impossible tc

of financial and political disruption in
Germany. carrying down with 1t not
merely Germany, but many othef
countries which are financially inter-
ested in that nation.
From tie beginning Of the history OF
the United States France has been
friend to America. Since the close OIL
the World War the French government
and its at1itude toward projects ad-
vanced by the United States II the in
terest OF International peace and dis
armament have bean at times 0isap-
pointing. But in the accord reached
yesterday France took long step
toward the creation Of better feeling IN
Europe. ard particularly toward better
feeling toward her traditional foe, Ger
many. If there is to &c peace in the
world these old neighbcrs must lay aside
the bitterness which past wars have en-
gcndercd. The gesture now made by
France should be Fundamentally an

that il was an accord first reached be-
