TROLLEY MEN ON
 TRAFFIC RELIEF
Railway Experts Suggest Measures Without an ].
 Increase in Tax
PARKING GREATEST EVIL

Traffic experts of the Connecticut Company and the many other street railways which operate Americas s 66, 900 trolieys and 13s000 busscs Carrying 40 million people daily, have, through the American Elcc-. tric Railway assocoation.' pooled their opinions as to the proper solution of the traffic congestion problem. The combined result is published by the association in q recent booklet.
 Among the causes to which traffic congestion is attributed are parked vehicles on heavily travelled streets. empty cruising taxicabs, improper vehicles on heavily travelled streets, commercial and industrial buildings without adequate loading space for merchandise, truck deliverers in rush hours and bottle-necks in the street system.
 The experts view as impracticabie such remedies as general widening of old and building of new streets, double.deck or triple-deck streets. removing car lines and wholesale construction of subways. since the extraordinarily heavy cost of all of these would fall upon already heavily burdened taxpayers. x
 They give as their opinion or now the situation can be greatly im- proved without adding to the tax payers burden the following: aboi. ishing parking on busy streets. re vision of building laws to. permit erection of modern parking garages in business districts. curbing -hes number of cruising taxicabs requir- ing commercial and industrial build ings to provide private. off-strest loading suaces and regulation io permit street cars and bnsses, which carry more than two-third of all passengers in downtown section "f the large cities, to move without un- necessary delaysfi These they state could be applied immediately with out expense to. the taxpayer.

there won't be very many more marriages to be recorded for April and, besides, the city editor wanted the story to run to-day.
 It is also learned that Dr Stork must have been on vacation or visiting other cities outside of Wa terbury during the last month. Talk ing the births recorded for April it is found that only S9 were recorded as compared to IFS for the same month in 1930. Again, Miss Moran comes forward and explains that the doctors have not filed all the birth certificates for the month. She points out that the doctors have 10 days in which to file the report after the new addition comes to the fam fly. She expects that this figure will be greatly Increased when the full report Is recorded.
 A big increase in deaths is noted for the month just closed over the same month g year ago. In April of 1890 there were-~93 deaths as compared to 109 for the month just ended.

Sen. Davis Reveals
 Growth Of L.O. o. M.
Director General Points 10 Fact That Organization Has
 PrOspered Despite Present Hard Times

The Honorable James J. Davis, United States senator from Pennsyl- vania and director general of the Loyal Order of Moose, reveals in his editorial message in Moose Mag azine" that the Moose Fraternity has grown despite the general business depression.
 q can say," writes Senator Davis that the condition of our order speaks for itself. During the quar- |ter-century since I joined the Moose there have been periods of depres- sion. In time of plenty we planned for the lean years. And in the lean years we knew that sometime the line on the chart would rise again. the clouds would be dispelled, the balance swing the other way: and again we planned accordingly. Few realized this. But in the in- ner councils we kept the future al- ways before us. We did ot build until we had made sure we could meet the incurred expense. We dId not contract for a debt so long as it was questionable whether we coule pay it. We set aside certain funds against the rainy day.

 Could we do this or that? Was it a logical step to take? What would be the next move? How would fu- ture conditions effect it? These were the guide posts for us at the cross ing of the ways. Those were the stern decisions we must keep before our minds.
 The public sees our order at once as a mighty organization. We who have toiled through the years have seen it step by step-each step taken carefully, slowly. as a little child learns to walk: not leaping in stantly into mans stride. but prog ressing carefully, thinking before w@ made each step

MINE MULE NOW WEARS
 HEADLIGHT ON COLL

Mules wear headlights, just as miners do. in 8 Pottsville, Pa, coal mine. An electric fiashlamp. sus- pended from the collar of the ani- malls harness, enables it to see its way when 1t plods through a dark underground shaft towing a coal car. says Popular Science Monthly. The mules show their apprecia ton by the increased efficiency of their work. This is only one indication of the sweeping changes that the use of the electric light has brought to the mines of the world.

The committee finds the decrease in

drainage, deforestation, fire, disease,
water pollution and the extended oc-
cupation Of land by agriculture and in

The committee concludes that the
primary cause Of the present unSatis-

OF the Federal and State legislative
bodies to be guided by the rules Of

by the fact that appropriations, State
