ARMFSTTCE DAY


Another Armistice day has rolled
around, and for the adult generation 1t
is difficult to realize that decade and
half has passed since that memorable
November Il, 1918, when the world went
wild with Joy because peace had come to
world torn by four years of warfare.
Time brings its changes and Armlstlee
day is a reminder of that fact. Fifteen
years ago a man in uniform, even though
he had almost been forced into 1t at the
point of a gun was hero for whom his
fellow citizens could not do enough.
Today, many who were then III uni
form and who really were heroes as great
as any men whose names appear IN our
history books, are we'll nigh forgotten
and abandoned by nation more con-
cerned over the commercial wounds
which have come to it IN the past TOUR
years.
Since last Arnistice day the nation tor
which they offered their all. and when
pledged its word that the needy veterans
should never be forgotten, has seen lit
to take drastic action which has brought
misery and suffering to the heroes OF
1917-1S.
The economy act, designed to prevent
undeserving veterans from obtaining
that many veterans suffering from dis
ability directly connected with their war
services, are unable to get adequate COM
pensation to provide for the necessities
of life.
This is wrong and such condition de-
mands immediate adjustment. ct the
government is not entirely to blame. The
real fault lies within the ranks OF the
veterans themselves. Not the veteran
who faced bayonets and bullets, but the
veteran who saw in the government gen.
erosity a chance to feather his own nest.
He took that chance, not only at the eX-
pense of the government but at the eX-
pense of his war-torn comrade. This is
really the disgrace of the economy act
that men who should know better per-
mitted their own Selfishness and greed
to create a condition which forced the
government to take such drastic action.
1t is true this does not justify the in
justice which is being done to the dis
abled veteran, but it is human nature to
swing from one extreme to another.
Prior to the economy act government
compensation was handled on lavish
and reckless scale. The pendulum was
bound to swing and when it did, parsi-
mony and injustice replaced layishness
and recklessness.
1t is to the shame of the nation and to
the undeserving veteran that the fif-
teenth anniversary of the armistice finds
men who were actively instrumental in
bringing about the downfall of the Cen
tral powers, in need 1t is to our shame
that we have grown SO Indifferent in Is
years that we permit such a condition to
exist without nationwide protest,
which shall result in readjuStment of the
economy act, so that the deserving vet
eran shall be taken care of to the fullest
extent and with its provisions SO drawn

tural kind of a cake to grow on a
by HOWARD e. GAR2Ig
,C@rs-sghs 1881. BY McClurs Newspaper Syndicate

tural kind of a cake to grow on a
tree. A nut cake. I'll look for that
So he went hopping about in the
woods looking at each tree he saw
but there was no nut cake. There
wasn't even chocolate cake.
Nor g cocoanut cake. Not so much
as 3 cake of soap. Not that Uncle
Wiggily wanted a cake of soap.
But he said to himself, IF
even found a cake of soap it would
mean that cakes do grow on trees
and 1 would not be disappointed.
But l don't see any SOAP
All this time Mr.. Longears had
been looking at maple trees and
elm trees and beech trees and horse
, chestnut trees. But on none of
! them did he see a cake Then he
looked on evergreens, for these are
| the Christmas trees. But on none
of them was there a cake. At least
not for a long time.
Then, all of a sudden, as Uncle
Wiggily hoped beneath a large
+, pine tree, he saw, hanging on q
low branch, a large round cake,
wrapped in a pasteboard box. I'm
| Gle Wiggily knew where was cake
! in the box as soon as he saw it
| even though it was tied with red
string. The cake was hanging by
this string.
"Hal Cakes do grow on treesp
laughed the rabbit gentleman. He
quickly took the cake down, open
ed the box and began to eat. 1t was
lovely chocolate cake. Il must
come here again." said Uncle Wig
gily. Perhaps next time I will see g
coconut cake growing"
Uncle Wiggily was just eating hi
second slice of chocolate cake wher
all at once, along came waddlint
fat Mr.. TWistytail, the pig.
"Ohl Did you take my cake?'
grunted Mr.. Twistytail, the pig.
"Why, I didn't know this wa
yours,' said Mr.. Longears. q,
thought the cake grew on the tree.
Hal Hal" laughed Mr.. Twisty
tail. 81 bought that cake in bak
cry. l hung it on the tree branch {
little while ago while went to lool
for some butternuts to eat. That
my cake but I don't mind becaus
you took some of it. Have anothe
slice and I'll eat one with you"
So the two friends ate the cak
all up and were happy. And If tn
milkmans horse doesn't bite tn
top off the hydrant and make tn
water spout all over the stree
lamp, I'll tell you next about Uncl
Wiggily and the pie tree.

his weekly pay check cashed and
thereby started a gold certificate

The teller handed Stagg his
money in $40 bills, all Of which were

certificate in his hand-and hence
was breaking the law.

tificate into his office, which i'm

was amazed, added that it could
net understand how any bank, es-
pecially in the District of Columbia
had not heard of the anti-gold
boarding law, assured Stagg that
he would not be Jailed and urged
that he get rid of his gold certifi-
cate as soon as possible. Stagg said
he would.
The gold certificate problem in
evitably brings up the silver prob
lem, which leads TO the most BIZ
zarre emergency money suggestion
SO far received at the White House.
This newest plan, as suggested by
an unnamed monetary genius, calls
for a combination silyer-goid dol
lar.
He offered a sample coin for Pre-
sident Roosevelt's examination. It
looks like an ordinary silver dollar
on one side, but contains only rs
cents worth of silver
On the other face is embedded a
, small disk of gold, worth exactly 20
J cents-thus bringing the value of
/ the gold-silver dollar up to The
standard 100 cents.
A w. Lafferty of Riverdale, Nd,
has another idea. He suggested an
international silver coin to be
called the "quanto,' to be divided
into 100 "quantimes' the "quanto"
to contain one ounce of silver. The
coin would be worth the same in
every country, and although Laf-
ferty doesn't say SO, would be sort
of monetary Esperanto.

BOBBY'S .WHOPPER'

The "whopper' told By the three-year-
old youngster who accused his father OF
killing his mother, is regrettable only
because it exposed to the world the fact
that the father had previously been IN
trouble. and had served time in prison.
1t is hard to believe that such small
mind could conceive such fantastic tale
and it is impossible to assign any motive
for t. Nor is it wise to discredlt all
tales by three-year-olds because TINS one
happened to be untrue.
Only an idiot would charge this young
ster with lying Whatever idea he had
in concocting such fabrication is too
much for an adult to understand. It IS
unfortunate indeed that some youngsters
are punished for telling similar yarns,
though they may not be quite SO serious.
Children see, hear and feel things that
are beyond the adult mind to compre-
hend. Even though they only imagine
them the seeing, hearing and feeling are
none the less real to them. To punish
them for it is to work a cruel injustice
on them.
Young Bobby McClanahan was deadly
serious about the tragedy he imagined
serious enough to fool experienced Off
GERS of the law into making wild goose
chase of several hundred miles. One
wonders if he is laughing up his sleeve
at their credulity. A mind which could
rig UP such tale could probably make
him see the funny point at that.

WOUND UNNOTICED
IN LIQUOR CHASE
Suspect Fails to Realize Injury
Until Companion and Self
Are Captured.

Shot in the leg while being chased by
q revenue agent and two members OF
the police liquor squad late last night,
Leonard w. Shoemaker, 29, of the 1900
block of Rock Greek Church road, did
not realize he was wounded until after
he and his companion had been cap
tured.
Shoemaker was struck by one of three
shots fired at his automobile after he
and his companion, Allen Edward Moore,
81, of Silver Spring. Md, fed from
Kings court, where the officers alleg-
edly found them delivering 48 half

until after the collision.
Shoemaker, after his arrest felt a
sudden pain in his leg and discovered
one of McEwen's shots had struck MN.

HIGHWAY FUNDS
SOUGHT FOR D. c.
Commissioners Ask Inclusion
of Capital in Industrial
Recovery Bill. ,

Inclusion of the District of Columbia
in the granting of funds by the Federal
Government to the States for providing
emergency construction of public high
ways under the national industrial se-
covery bill, has been asked by the Dis
trict Commissioners, it developed today
The legislation already has been rec
commended for passage by the House
where reference to the District in this
respect was omitted by the Ways and
Means Committee.
The Commissioners move became
known as the Washington Board OF
Trade asked to be heard by the Senate
France Committee in its consideration
of the bill
The proposal is made in the form OF
a suggested amendment to that section
of the legislation authorizing the Presi-
States not to exceed $400 900 600, fol-
Federal aid highway systems.
The bill stipulates, as it now stands
that the term state" shall include the
Territory of Hawaii, but it does not
mention the District of Columbia. The
Federal aid highway plan, originally
formulated in 1916, included only
States. and in 1924 an act was passed
extending it to the Territory of Ha-
waii. To date. however, no provision
has been made to include the District
The Board of Trade, in moving to
bring about inclusion of the National
Capital in the benefits of the national
industrial recovery legislation with re-
spect to highways, feels that failure to
extend this privilege to the DISTRICT
which pays a full share of Federal
taxes, is discriminatory" DR.. Llewllyn
Jordan, member of the boards Com
mittee on Streets and Avenues, said
today.

committee in support of the Commits

to include the District will be given

NEW TRAFFIC CODE
NEARING REALITY
Number of important Con-
troversiaI Issues Agreed
Upon, Says Van Duzer.

Prospects Of early adoption of sim
plified traffic code for the District arose
again today when William A. van
Duzer, director of traffic. reported
agreement had been reached with the
Public Utilities Commission on a num-
ber of important controversial issues.
Van Duzer today was completing
preparation of a report on the new draft
to be submitted to the District Com
misSioners for action at their board ses-
sion tomorrow.
The new code was prepared after
months of study by the Traffic Advisory
Council, body appointed by the Dis
trict Commissioners in long series of
conferences with the director of traffic
and the District corporation counsel.
Submitted early this year to the Com
missioners, adoption Of the new code
has been held up for more than two
months because of disputes over the
wording of various sections Different
views were taken by the Public Utili-
ties Commission, the District Commits
sioners, Corporation Counsel Bride and
Director Van Duzer.
One issue was whether the code
should contain saving clause" which
provided that nothing in the new code
should be taken as voiding or super
seding orders issued by the Utilities
Commission.
It was reported today at the District
Building that this clause would be in
cluded. with agreement by the traffic
director and the advisory council
Aside from providing a simplified
code. to replace the present regulations,
the purpose of the new draft was to
bring it into line with the model mu-
nicipal code sponsored by the National
Conference on Street and Highway
