Now that the Army appropriation

and through you your great association,
for its splendid efforts in upholding
national defense. Your influence has
contributed powerfully in combating the
rising tide of pacifism which threatens
to engulf us. Without such help and
support I do not know how we would
have succeeded. I am anticipating
another fight the next session Of Con-
gress and I cannot tell you the sense
of confidence and security I feel IT.
knowing that you will be standing
shoulder to shoulder with us.
With renewed expressions Of graft

TYDINGS ATTACKS
CURTIS DRY STAND
Vice President and Hoover Riding
Same Horse, but in Two Direc-

Commenting on Vice President Curtis
advocation of rigid enforcement OF pro-
hibition. Senator Tydings, Of Maryland,
said the President and his running
mate were riding the same horse, but
in two directions.
THE Republican party" said the
Marylander, an anti prohibitionist
has seldom given clearer example of
its ancient strategy Of working both
sides of the street than in the con-
trast between President Hoover's and
Vice President Curtis utterances on the
prohibition question"
Senator Tydings, in his statement,
added:
President Hoover in his speech Of
acseptarce tried to be wet with enough
obscurity in language to give some
comfort to the drys. But some OF the
drys protested, so Vice President Curtis
provides the anchor to hold the ex
treme drys, while Mr.. Hoover hopes to
snare the moist vets.
IF the Republican party hopes in
this way to make everybody happy I
predict that it will be sadly mistaken
in November"

Washington police soon will visualize
the ideal manner and courtesy to be
used in dealing with traffic violators.
Supt of Police Pelham D. Glassford
has arranged to borrow a motion pic
ture film from the st. Louis police de-
partment illustrating the proper way
for a policeman to deal with motorists.
The film shows policemen how to use
necessary firmness without arousing the
ire of the automobile driver.
In addition, Gen. Glassford has pre-
pared a scenario illustrating various
phases of courtesy and discourtesy be-
tween motorists and between police and
motorists. 1t will point out how much
more smoothly motorists might get
along if they used the same courtesy
toward each other as do pedestrians.
1t is pointed out that two pedestrians
Dumping into each other while walking
on the sidewalk probably would apollo
gize and go on their way smiling. 1t is
felt that if motorists would use the
same courtesy, it would be a great aid
toward traffic moving smoothly, as well
