Transportation Problems of

Statesmen officials and citizens whose minds lean strongly
toward artistic considerations for this city rather than to the

from the Public Utilities Commission that is absurd to pro-
pose the elimination of lines from Pennsylvania

Letters to the Editor From Readers of The Times |

Hearst papers do not cease
their fight against respect for,
and obedience to our laws and
the Constitution of the United
States and spend their time
and space just as religiously in
trying to develop a love for the
true, the beautiful and the
good.
I have not written, sir, in
criticism of either you or Mr..
Hearst. I hold you both in
the highest esteem and ad-
miration. Your independence
of thought and your courageous
course in public life have been
of immense value to the people
you serve. But your attitude
toward the enforcement of law,
and more especially the prohi-
bition law which forms a very
important part of the ConSti-
tuition of the United States, is
objectionable.
If the law enforcement ma
chinery is not functioning prop
erly, or if it does not meet your
approval, why in the name Of
common decency, don't you
point out their mistakes and
tell them how to improve? It
is your duty, I repeat, to CO.
operate with law enforcement
bodies and to try to develop in
this country a higher stand
ard of morals and self-respect.

After the war was over, he be-
came a journalist, with a par
ticular interest in exploration.
His attempt to explore Asia
in 1866 ended disastrously. as
he was robbed by a band OF
Turkomans and thrown into
prison. After his release, he
returned to the United States;
and the vivid narrative of his
adventures won him a post as
special correspondent of a st.
Louis newspaper. Certain Of
his writings were published in
the New York Herald. In the
war between England a N d
Abyssinia, he served as war
correspondent for the Herald;
and won fame for himself by
a magnificent SCOOP" send
ing his news Of the English
victory by wire and anticipat-
ing the other correspondents
by several weeks!
Stanley's spectacular fame
was won in carrying out the
unique commission given him by
James Gordon Bennett, to find
DR.. Livingstone, who was lost
in Africa searching for the Con-
go. After incredible hardships,
he finally reached Livingstone
in the neighborhood of Lake
Tanganyika, in Darkest Africa.
This exploit made him world ia
nous, and his quiet words Of
greeting to the lost explorer
were quoted everywhere: "Dr.
Livingstone, I presume?"
DisprOved Old Theory
After making explorations in
company and disproving the
theory that Lake Tanganyika
was connected with the Albert
Nyanza, Stanley and Living
stone separated. Livingstone
remained in Africa to continue
his search for the Congo; and
Stanley returned to civilization,
receiving a great ovation IN
London.

than the one who hangs onto
him, and keeps eternally re-
mindtng him Of her sacrifice"
Lucky the woman whose hus-
band never notices her clothes.
The average man appears to
think that the mere act Of
marrying a woman endows him
with the expert eye Of a mil
nnery designer and the critical
taste of a fashion artist.
If some man isn't making a
woman suffer-" she is usually
suffering because she has no
man to make her suffer. You
can't rob a woman Of her
divine right to be a martyr"
A. girl may not object to
being kissed Just as a passing
amusement, but she hates to
have a man act as though that
was why he did it.
The only way for a girl to
be perfectly happy with any
man is to let him suspect that
she could be passably happy
without him.

ership, resource, scientific
knowledge, patience, endurance,
judgment and common sense.
The stories of explorers are
among the most exciting the
world has to offer. Few ca
reers in modern times have so
moved the world as that of Sir
Henry Morton Stanley, famous
chiefly for going to the relief
of DR.. Livingstone in the heart
of Africa and finding him.
Born as John Rowlands,
about 1840, in Denbigh, Wales,
he spent a miserable boyhood
in the poorhouse, as the result
of the poverty of his family.
At the age of 16, ill-treated by
everyone, he ran away from the
poorhouse and shipped as cabin
boy on an American vessel
bound for New Orleans. After
being cruelty treated by the
skipper, he left the ship and
was aided by a brokS~ named
Stanley, whose name he took
and bore through life.
Expedition Was Disastrous
Stanley's sense of allegiance
and loyalty was not very high.
After serving for a time in the
armies of the Confederacy, he
was captured at the battle Of
Shiloh; transferred his allegi.
ance to the Northern side, and
served in the artillery. Dis
charged on account Of i'll

ONCE-OVERS
On Jealousy

Ou OC&AVuSJ
Unwarranted jealousy and
uncontrolled imagination is the
cause of much of the unhappi-
ness of many married persons.
The wife of a good-looking
man or the husband Of an at
tractive woman too often be-
lieve that every person Of the
opposite sex who is courteous
to their life partner is design
ing.
Jealousy is usually lack Of
confidence or lack of faith.
Most married men have too
much love, interest and respect
for their wives to desire undue
attention from other women.
Most married women have
too much pride to run the
chance Of marring their reputa-
tions in an ENHANCEMENT and
probably resultant scandal.
Family interest is too strong
with most married couples to
wish to bring unfavorable re-
Elections upon any one OF their
family.
Yet too many men and wo-
men are not averse to a cit
tie harmless filtration"
You may be one Of this
kind.
You like to try your power

chance?

Says Dogs Are Menace
To Public Welfare
Editor, Times:

E1tt0T, 1tmteS:
Dogs are a menace to life in
a city. They are frequently
kept for a malicious purpose
and are taught to scare away
children, to bite and snap at
them, and even at adults.
Police records reveal that
many children and grown-ups
are being attacked daily by the
so-called nonvicious type of IL
censed dog.
Believe it or not, but in the
Police or District courts Of this
city, it is most difficult to con-
vict the owner of a licensed
doy that bites people. I speak
from experience. Two of my
children have been the victims
of a neighbours dog, and my
efforts to secure redress in the
matter have been unsuccessful.
Apparently, the right of a IL
censed dog to bite, is one that
is considered inalienable and
sacred in organized society.
Aside from the fact that dogs
are fine carriers of germs and
disease. there is still another
bothersome angle to this ques-
ton. Well-behaved dogs are
most annoying to a clean COM
munity.
One Of these days dog lovers
will become a little more con-
cerned over human rights. In
the meantime plead for the
safety Of human life, and say
more power to the vivisection-
