Is It Necessary?

I T seems as if the parking Of long bodied trucks,
especially stock trucks, on Second street is an I'M
necessary nuisance that should be abated Whether
parked parallel to angle to the curb it creates
unsatisfactory traffic conditions.
When parked parallel to the curb it takes up four
times much space Recently two long trucks with
tralers behind parked the north side of the street
reached from Randgaards cafe to the Citizens State
Bank building. Meanwhile other cars were touring
around looking for parking stall on main street.
When parked angle style the body protrudes into
the line Of traffic Any familiar with traffic con-
dtons the Second street knows that trucks
could find suitable parking space Mill street. Tran
sient truck drivers should be directed any other
street than Second when the only apparent reason for
stopping is to get a lunch or cup of coffee

For Colonial independence

is characteristic Of this nation and its people,
~ they against -empiring nation and
would desire that the Philippine Islands be
granted their independence. Strangely enough the
leaders of those islands have seemed to let up the
clamor for freedom.
Reasons for this is at once apparent when you
realize that with products coming in to the United
States duty free, independence would divert millions
Of dollars to that country dairy producers The long
this free trade is encouraged the increasingly
reluctant will they be for freedom
It is no small wonder that agriculture leaders like
Chester H. Gray, Washington representative of the
American Farm Bureau, and A. M. Loomis, secretary,
National Dairy Union assert the desrabty of grant
ing the Philippines independence as a consequence Of
this unfortunate competition.
Motivated by self-interest, one might say of or
ganized agriculture, and why not? Tariff is essentially
selfish for there is nothing atruistic about this
natural sort Of trade arrangement It is merely
of sef-interest for welfare against selfn-
terest on the part of foreign countries.
It would be to our economic advantage that agri-
culture were given adequate protection against foreign
competition. But American money abroad would not
want it So In the last analysis the conflict seems to
rest between industry and agricultme.

STATE HEALTH DIRECTOR
URGES BUYING OF SEALS
Deaths from tuberculosis Cut In
Half Since Seal Sale Began

Calling attention to the opening of
the annual tuberculosis Seal Sale,
and urging every man, woman and
child in the State to buy generously
of them, DIR. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health, said
recently:
when the sale of the tuberculosis
seals was begun in this country TWEEN
ty-five years ago, tuberculosis was
responsible for more deaths and sick
ness than were attributed to any other
single cause. Our records, which cor
respond closely to those for the rest
of the country, show that one death
out of about every eight from all
causes, was due to what was then
called consumption In 1906, there
were 2,610 deaths from tuberculosis
in Maryland out of a total of 20,203
deaths from all causes. In 1880, when
the population was much greater than
it was in 1906, there were 1918 deaths
from tuberculosis, out of a total of
21,562 from all causes. That means
that the deaths from tuberculosis had
been cut down to about one in every
thirteen from all causes.
at is probable that no partnerships
that have ever been entered into have
yielded better returns than those
formed between the purchasers of the
Christmas Seals and the workers in

the fight against tuberculosis, when
the annual sale of the tuberculosis
Seals for the support of the warfare
against the disease was decided upon.
"Great things have happened since
this partnership went into effect. The
general death rate from tuberculosis
has been cut down more than half;
and clinics, dispensaries, and sana-
toria for the care of those suffering
from the disease have been establish
ed in every part of the country. But
best of all-and these things have
come about largely through the work
made possible by the sale of the Tu-
berculosis Seals-people have learned
two lessons. First, that tuberculosis
can be prevented by rational living,
the use of nourishing food, having
plent of fresh air and sunlight,
plenty of rest and the right sort of
recreation. Second, that those who
have contracted the disease have a
good chance to have it brought under
control and to get back to health, if
they go to a doctor or to a clinic,
while the disease is in its early stages
and follow the advice that is given
them.
"The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation contributes part of the money
derived from the sale Of the seals to-
ward the support of the clinics held
every month throughout the counties,
for the examination of persons who
show symptoms of the disease or have
been in contact with it. The clinics
are held under the joint auspices of
the State Department of Health and
the tuberculosis Association. Thous-
ands of people have been benefited
from this service and many of them
have been started on the roal to bet
ter health.
"This is only one of the ways in
which the money you put into the
Christmas seals helps others. You
don't have to have a lot of money to
enter into this partnership. The
shares-the Christmas Seals-are
only penny apiece. Be sure that you
buy your supply of them"

Positive Proof
of Ford ECONOMY
City of Detroit purchases 1877 Ford cars
Hundreds in prove low cost of operation

THESE 1877 new Ford cars represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to a
municipality at one time.
81 radio-equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in ON this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their individual records ranged from
78,434 miles to las, 1913 miles with grand
total of 2,283, O97 miles. The operating
cost of the q cars was 2.284 cents mile
less than 2 1 % cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other
item except depreciation and insurance.

Report Of Yale
 Admission Board
Prof Corwin, Chairman, Says Yale Finds It Necessary
 to Turn Down More Applicants Each Year

those applicants who find it either expedient or necessary to spend an additional or fifth year in repairing a weak record, for it has been nec- essary to refuse admission each year to an incerasing number of those who failed to finish their secondary school course on schedule time or in regular order.
 'The question is frequently asked. usually by those who are advocating the admission of an applicant whose record is not high, Does the board of admissions take no account of char acter? The answer is that nothing is considered more important, but that the type of character which makes the greatest appeal to the board is one which has been transmitted into good record. Moreover, the ardor of an applicants desire for col lege course can be more safely judged by the quality of his school record than by the importantly of parents and friends. It is probably not due to chance that testimonials of character are most abundant and most urgent among the credentials of unpromising applicans.
 No changes in the requirements for admission have been adopted during the present year. The board has been slow to add to it's formal prescriptions and regulations in the belief that too rigid insistence upon detail, either as concerns sub- jects of preparatory study or meth- ods of examination, does not in it. self serve the purpose in view. The attempt has been constant to con- strue and to administer the regula- tions governing admission in such manner as to promote the best in- terests of the individual pupil, as in- terpreted by his school principal or headmaster. To this procedure may be due the marked increase in the number of school men, as well as of parents and pupils, who seek the counsel of this office in matters of common interest to school and col lege."
 Professor Corwin gives statistics which show that 175 (2O.9 per cent) of the members of the class of 1883 are sons of Yale men.

Coroner Probing
 Status Of Shooting
Evidence Secured By Monzani Will Determine Whethef
 POnchinock Killing Was Murder or Accident

Whether the fatal shooting of An drew Ponchinock, 3S, of 95 Oak street by his partner. Iachim Russia wey, 3S, of 130 North Elm street will be regarded as an accident or intentional murder will be deter mined within a day or two by Cor oner John T. Monzani, who is now engaged in an official investigation.
 The shooting took place in the restaurant at 12S North Elm street, owned by the accused and the deceased. They had been partners in the business for eight years and were regarded as being very close friends. Ponchinok was instantly killed about 6:30 o'clock Sunday night when struck by charge from a double -barreled shot, gun. Rusiawey made no attempt to escape, but as matter of fact is said to have called police headquar- ters and asked the officers to come and get him as he had killed man. The police received such a message and Patrolmen Charles McWeeney and Thomas Grady were sent to in- vestigate. They found Ponchinok dead on the floor and his partner standing silently by Several men were in the place at the time. They told contradicting stories about the affair with the result that when Ponchinok was ordered into the po- lice auto the spectators were ushered in with him and sent to police head quarters. They were quizzed to an early hour this morning by Coroner Monzani. Rusiawey at first claimed that the shooting was an accident. He claims that he did not know that the weapon was loaded and that he and his partner were fooling when the gun was discharged. The nature of the wound, however, indicated to the police that the dead man had his back turned when shot.
 The witnesses picked up by the police included John P. Jones. 49. of 140 Cherry street. Nick Bendento, 45. of S1 Watertown avenue; Mich ael Shulwosky, 43. of 79 Kingsbury
