He was more careful Of how
he dressed though, on his in
frequent trips to the city.
While it was not the event it
used to be when my grand
father came from his home in
Bleecker Street to- his country
house and considered it a
journey from which it took q
month to recuperate, still it
was considerable of an occa-
sion, and not to be considered
lightly.
Visit to Museum
The great treat, in Franklin's
estimation, was his visit to the
Museum of Natural History.
We could have all the rest if
only we could let him browse
to his hearts content among
the dinosaurs, the Indian relics,
the stuffed animals, and the
fallen meteors.
In fact, one of the most
amusing experiences he had. in
his younger teen days when he
was beginning to travel along
more Independently. Of his
father and me, came about be-
cause of this devotion to the
museum. AS q very special
reward for having completed
his collection Of Hudson River
birds, his grandfather Delano
had presented Franklin with a
life membership in the museum,
and the announcement of the
honor had come to him in the
form Of an elaborately gold
decorated, engraved card. He
was so proud of this that he
carried it everywhere with him:
and so it went abroad in his
pocket, even though you might
think it quite useless as part OF
the equipment of a European
traveller.
Collection Of Birds
But, as it happened, the card
served a very useful purpose.
Franklin and his tutor were in
London, and he, Of course,
wanted to see the wonderful
collection Of birds in the South
Kensington Museum; but on ar
irving there they found guards
outside the building and dash
ing equipages drawing up to
the door to discharge European
ladies and gentlemen dressed
in the height of fashion. It
turned out that the Prince Of
Wales, later Edward VII, was
present to open a new wing OF
the museum, and that a very
select garden party was being
held for this great occasion.
Franklin and his tutor con-
suited on the matter and evolved
a most ingeniuS scheme. Out
came the gold-decorated, en-
graved card, and it was passed
over to the tutor. The latter
presented it at the door, for
both of them felt that as a
credential it would come better
from a grown man than from
a 14-year-old boy. After con-

State may control or limit the use
of its roads for profit.

Of safety and good transportation.
This, it is stated, is the aim Of the
railroads: The League denies that
the railroads plan to increase the
payments required Of private car
owners for their use Of the roads.
On the contrary, it says, the rail
carriers have repeatedly pointed out
that if reasonable limits are placed
upon the size Of trucks, highway
costs will be 80 reduced that in q few
years private car license fees and
other chArges can be substantially

THE modern highways were or
i iginally planned for the use of
the private car driver, says the
Ohio Railroad Employees and Citi-
zens League. Private car drivers
are also the country's home and farm
owners. They constitute the great
army of the nations taxpayers.
Two-thirds Of the up-to-date, high
way systems Of the United States
have been built out of property and
income taxes, and only one-third out
of license fees and gasoline levies.
As a consequence, the League de-
clares, the great truck, which has
enormously increased highway costs,
enjoys a right-of-way chiefly paid
for by the private car driver, farmer
and rome-owner. The private car
operator has a natural right to the
