to have restored sufficient items

Passing a Red Light.

The more judges of traffic courts
who adopt the ideas of Magistrate Har-
ris of New York as to the degree of seri-
BUSINESS Of the offense of passing a red
signal, the safer will the streets in
every city become. Magistrate Harris
holds, and rightly, that it should be
classified as major traffic breach, and
has been imposing stiff fines on those
brought before him. BY no logical rea
soning can the offense of passing the
red light be considered trivial. 1t is
menacing to life, limb and property and
should invariably be considered major
violation. Too often courts are inclined
to minimize the seriousness Of the Of
fense and place it in the category Of
parking cases and innocuous infractions
of the regulations. 1t is to be hoped
that Magistrate Harris method of deal
ing with motorists will be universally
adopted.

New York, speak of Mr.. Cohan's effort
as lacking in dignity" and as being
"of doubtful taste" They conclude:
ITO have a work of this caliber repre-
sent us to other nations is to deepen an
already existing impression that we are
lacking in seriousness in our musical
culture"
One need not be a professional critic
of music to deplore the official sanction
accorded Mr.. Cohan's effusion. 1t Is
not merely "of doubtful taste" 1t is,
very definitely, of intolerable bad taste.
1t is utterly Cohanesque. Which i'm
plies that from the viewpoint Of music
it is deplorable. Probably it is true
that Mr.. Cohan is equipped to repre-
sent a very considerable number OF
sincere admirers of the Father OF His
Country. But he is not entitled to an
exclusive patent in the circumstances.
He cannot represent those lovers OF
music whose discrimination and expert
ence exceed his own. He has written
a popular song" And what he has
written should constitute challenge to
more mature musicians to write some
thing truly deserving Of popularity.
The opportunity is open to all. If
America has composers capable of meet
ing the test it is to be hoped that they
will not be discouraged by the Official
action" of the Commission. After all,
the Commission does not exist for its
own sake; 1t is but promotion agency.
George Washington is the Nations
not the Commissions. Every
American has the right to celebrate
him. Mr.. Cohan has celebrated him
in his own particular manner. Others
are at liberty to celebrate him more
fttingly If they have the genius so to
do. They do not require either the
permission or the Endorsement of the
Commission.

He saw the need Of stopping ship
soon after it reached the ground, and
his application of the brake principle
TO airplane wheels soon followed.
Probably more than any other indi-
vidual, Eddie stinson promoted public
interest in commercial flying. He did
this by the simple expedient of building
and selling his transport planes so
cheaply-lesS than half the cost of
others of the same classification-tha
air services using his ships were able to
cut their rates to point that compared
favorably with the railroads and thus
attract large patronage.
1t can be seen, then, that Stinson's
career was devoted to the advancement
of the art that he loved. America can
i'll afford to lose men of his caliber, and
all will mourn the tragic accident which
cut short career in the full flush Of

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Senator Glass recently instructed and
amused the Senate by reading a de-
scription from the works of James
Henry Jones Of the man with whom 1t
is waste Of time to argue.
II had spent whole hour arguing
with turnip," the author said. But
it looked very much like a head"
There are few human beings who
have not at some time or other come
to the conclusion that some one or
other with whom they were in CONVEX
sation had head scarcely more than
vegetable in composition.
Now, there are 10 infallible signs by
which every man may know one of
these "turnips" when he meets one,
especially when he talks to one
Some Of these signs are physical, some
mental. Taken together-and they uSu-
ally go together-they constitute very
fair portrait of a human turnip.
Detection does not come about alto
gether through the eyes. If it were
that easy, no man who prides himself
on his mental integrity woald have any
difficulty at all in distinguishing rad
ishes, cabbages, turnipS and other round
vegetables from true human heads.
The signs of the genuine turnip under
our definition are at least tenfold, and
perhaps as many more, which any rea-
sonably industrious person may figure
out for himself
The primary signs are as follows:
l. Red face
2. Loud voice
8. Hand Waving.
4. Evident anger.
5. Intolerance Of any difference OF
opinion.
6. Descent to ridicule
7. No respect for opinions OF another.
3. Disrespect for new ideas.
8. Contempt for ideas new to turnipS
10. Refusal to admit the integrity of
thought of any opponent.
It is evident that the physical signs
which lead our list are the product Of
the mental states which end it, but for
the sake Of convenience we put them In
the above oNder.
It Is easier to grasp the physical
signs.
Suppose you are talking to a man
and the conversation suddenly happens
to switch to a question about which
you do not know the fellows opinions.
Up to now you had been conversing
amicably enough. Such matters as the
weather, OF course, ana the old ball
game and hundred others do not call
for much heat They are not direct
attacks, as it we're
Then a topic is thrown into the ring
which the other regards as settled. To
him. 1t soon becomes evident the mat
ter is in a way sacred, and, strangely
enough, his side has sanctif1ed it.
First he begins to get red in the face.
You note it, but innocently believing
that facts have some weight, you 40
ahead attempting to pile them up.
Right there is where he begins to
wave his arms
He is trying to brush your facts
aside, you see; and the physical being
must do something about it, although
facts are such intangible tangibles that
no amount Of physical stress can do a
thing about the least one Of them.
The voice Of the turnip becomes
louder. At each new hurdle of fact
placed in his path his volume increases
perceptibly. If he were a radio set and
the nose were knob, one might secure
the same effect by turning it bit.
