Senate Majority Leader Watson
claimed 40 votes for the general
sales tax. With every senator paired
or voting, the amendment would
require 40 votes for adoption.

Arrested by state police in
Frederick, Md, yesterday an hour
after lookout was posted, Ted
Fordes, of Norfolk, Va, is charged
with failing to stop after an acci-
dent, reckless driving and driving
with dead tags.
Police say Fordes, who was 60
ing North on Wisconsin Avenue,
struck F. c. Linton, of 222 Holly
Ave-, Takoma Park, Md, who was
crossing Wisconsin Avenue.
T. P. Griffith, of Silver Springs,
who witnessed the accident, re

lice at Bethesda and James C.

crept IN. WHAT we have aDandOneu
is the faith of our uncles; we have
been faithless to our belief in money.
(Surely you remember money, al
though it is now a semi-mythical
commodity-a thing we once used
to purchase pleasure and which we
now collect for taxes.) Money, it
was freely said, was the God of
America; for money and by money
we lived; without it we died. Money
was our single measure of success
in life, our card of admission to
society, our bulwark against misfor-
tune, our substitute for love, culture
and joy.

Baby Hatchet Swinger
Chops Open Head of
His Brother, 4

William Kent is but %
months old but he is strong
and likes to play with hatchets,
according to his grandmother,
Mrs. John Ball, with whom he
lives at 29O6 P st. S. E. But,
she added, his 4-year-old brother,
Ronald, does not approve of
such tactics.
Yesterday William and Ron
aid were playing on a sand
pile in the rear of the home
when William, tiring of the
sand, went to the garage, got
a hatchet and started to chop
Ronald on the head. Ronald's
screams summoned Mrs. Ball
and her husband. The injured
boy was rushed to Casualty
Hospital, where it was neces-
sary to put a stitch in his head
to close the wound.

TRA|LED
To GARAGE,
ARRESTED
Twice PursuerS Forced to
Give Up Chase, So Strong
Are Fumes of Druq

Two motorcycle policemen
and a scout car, following a
huge touring car at break
neck pace across the city,
were forced to drop out of
the race today by a novel
smokescreen composed o f
about SO per cent ether.
The fleeing car was finally To-
Gated, however, in a garage in the
rear of 2246 Ontario Rd. N. W.,
and one of the men said to have
been with it during the chase
was arrested.
One Held, One Gets Away
The man arrested gave his
name as Elmo j. johnson, 20, of
1914 Columbia Rd. Another man
found in the garage, where police
say they were unloading liquor
from the car, got away. Both
were colored.
Johnson is said to have had
gun on his person, but made no
attempt to use it when arrested
by Policeman George C. Deyoe.
He is charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons, illegal possession
of liquor and illegal possession
of a smoke screen.
Police have been watching for
the car for some time, SuSpecting
that it was used for bootlegging.
1t was sighted today by two traf-
fic policemen, K. P. Greenlaw and
M. T. Randall, at First and Mon
roe Streets, N. w., and they
promptly gave chase.
Screen Turned On
The car, conspicuous because of
it's large size and it's closely
drawn side curtains, thundered
through Monroe Street for several
blocks, with the police gaining.
Then, they say, the smoke screen
was turned on, and at Tenth
and Monroe they had to give up
the hunt.
The effects of the ether, it is
said, were so strong that the
police were unable to combat it.
Later the scout car of Precinct
No. found the car on Florida
Avenue and also took up the
hunt, but again the smoke screen
forced the police out.
Found In Garage
Deyoe, however, had tip that
the car was housed in the garage
where it was eventually dis
covered and had, in fact, been
there to look for it before it
arrived. On his return he found
the car there and proceeded to
put Johnson under arrest.
The car was loaded, police say,
practically to the limit, with 160
half-gallon jars of whisky.

Morals Preferred

sincere in love for money; low hypocrites.
For entire decade deliberately threw away so
much money that have virtually wrecked ourselves
and for what? For high moral principles nothing else.
Two major decisions made one by the people with
the consent of the Government, by the Government
with the consent of the people, and both runous
and known to be runous Never since the Crusades
nation reckless with its weah-and the nations
of the middle ages had little choice. What is more in
the midst of poverty and national deficits stand by
guns We will not repeal prohibition and will
not recognize Russia
The "Percentage
have no patience with those who insist that pro-
hibition and our attitude to Russia dictated by
purely commercial impulses. To be sure financial
principle existed in both cases; but the percentage of
profit in the past eight years at least has been in favor
of restoring liquor and recognizing Russia The profit
promised by the drys-sober Monday workmen greater
deposits in savings banks and all the resthas worked
out statisticaly but not factualy The loss in trade
with Russia is far greater than any loss might have
taken Czarist bonds which, if had been clever
we might have recouped if we had only been willing to
, buy and sell.
All Too Noble
We are therefore, highly principed country ready
to sacrifice wealth and national prosperity for noble
ideals. The circumstance that these ideals little
the poppycock side has nothing to do with the case
AS look back the days of riches, say
that happy, for have been true to abstract
principles of virtue and honor AS look forward to
higher taxes racketeering longer breadines and
subtle degeneration of character leaders, at least
can be happy, too We have justified existence
a nation by proving that shall not live by bread
alone We about to prove that he must live without
bread altogether.
Our Foreign Friends
No nation is really prosperous, but it is pleasant to
note that those who have not betrayed their ideals are
in better way than the Others | think it was Andre
Mauros who noted that the French have passion for
the written contract-which is why they cannot bear
the thought of multiplying the Treaty of Versailles and
why they bitter against the Russians They are
also devoted to the arts-not to money. The British,
also, despse money and interested in justice and
the sanctity of law The Italians and the Germans have
AVID Of have
managed to trade with Russia-but of course not for
the money it brings in and of them have deprived
their citizens of liquor and here and there you find
tariff wall quota SYSTEM all for art and the joy
of living 1t is quite inspiration to US.
There moments when it seems that we would
have done better if had stuck to money After all,
we had the name for it.
