Dan Flynn's Shenanigans.

Everybody knows that Dan Flynn is
a very quiet sort of person ordinarily.
In point of fact, it is only when he
finds himself in mellow kind of mood
that he ever indulges in shenanigans.
Weeks will pass and he will get into
no trouble. But then there will be a
bit of party, a little trifle too much
of something or other, and that perilous
mellow quality of mind will prompt
him to the particular variety of devil
ment that he seems to prefer above
all others.
For example, there was yesterday
morning. as the New York Times tells
about it. and Dan was just ripe for
his special brand of adventure. He
probably made a valiant effort to re-
sist the temptation, but the struggle
was unavailing Some impish little
voice in his brain said, Dan, go ring
that fire alarm" and, of course, Dan
had to obey. In small matter OF
forty-five minutes he tweaked no less
than six fire box handles, calling out
all the fre-fghting apparatus in Lower
Manhattan. Naturally enough, the
fire chief decided that somebody is up
to shenanigans."
And that somebody was Dan. Doubt
less he would have continued playing
tricks all the rest of the day If two
policemen had not happened to see him
at his mischief. They took him to
the West Side Court, and the Judge
asked him, Dan, how comes this?"
We'll, your honor" was the answer,
Il never get any attention. Nobody
ever cheers for me. So I thought I'd
like to hear a few cheers. Something
I'd done myself, you know
Perhaps he might have got off with
a warning. There was Just one handi-
cap that worked against him-the

Street Car Improvements.

When the two trolley systems Of
Washington have been merged, certain
improvements, it is said, are to be
made to lure the public back to street
car travel. Numerous curves are to
be removed from the lines, so that
riders may be spared unnecessary jolt
ing Lighter cars are to be purchased,
30 that passengers may suffer less
shaking up. More responsive motors
are to be installed, so that the pick
up" may be quicker. A long list Of
mechanical reforms are to be initiated
In behalf Of increased comfort, speed
and safety. The goal is a larger
trolley-riding clientele.
But there are other Improvements
which, thus far. appear to have been
neglected. For example: What about
accommodating the patron who, for one
reason or another, does not have his
breakfast at home? Why not an oc-
casional club car. serving bacon and
eggs, coffee and toast, cereal and fruit?
The idea may seem ridiculous, but the
railroads of Great Britain furnish such
service to commuters and reap very
nice profit from the business.
And how about the man or woman
who wishes to smoke on the way to
work? Why not smoking cars, or
smoking compartments as in former
times? The non-smoker may not see
the point, but the fact is that many
an individual drives his own automobile
downtown Of a morning for no other
reason than that he wants to smoke
and since smoking is forbidden on
street cars he pilots his own machine.
Greater comfort is goal well worth
conscious seeking. People like to re-
lax, especially on long journeys. The
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, realizing
that truth, several years ago installed
reclining seats in their cars. The
Capital Traction Co. also made two or
three steps in that direction a few
months ago when in a few cars it re-
placed old wooden seats with leather
cushions.
It goes without saying that improved
schedules of operation would help.

Pact With Haiti Stirs Talk
OF New Deal in Latin World

good wishes of all Americans in their
new attempt at self-government," says
the Chicago Daily News, with the Incl
dental expression Of opinion: The
executive agreement represents a sig
nificant modification Of this country's
Caribbean policy. and should contribute
much to that improvement of its rela-
tiOns with other Latin American nations
which the Roosevelt administration has
made one Of its principal foreign poll
cles. CurlouSly enough, President
Roosevelt, who arranged for the termi-
nation of the elghteen-year occupation
of the republic. was instrumental. as
Assistant Secretary of the Navy. in dis
patching the Marines to Haiti in 1915.
From the beginning the American occu-
patton has been the subject of violent
criticism throughout Latin America, as
we'll as in Haiti itself 1t has been rep
resented as means Of exploiting q
backward people for the profit Of Amer
ican capital. The constructive work
undertaken by the United States for
the preservation of law and order and
the improvement of Haitian finances
and the public health and welfare has
received little recognition either in
Haiti or elsewhere"
We come nearer" declares the Dan
bury NewS-Times. Ito the time when
financial arrangements made by inter-
national bankers will not be permitted
to embroil the United States in the
guardianship of foreign peoples" while
the Port Huron Times Herald suggests:
THE political elements in Haiti will un-
doubtedly be jubilant. 1t is not unlike
ly that they see opportunity for return
of the old conditions of graft and revo-
luton which made government a
travesty and the country a political
hell up to the time American authority
stepped in back in 1915. Haiti will need
to watch its step, however. We remem-
ber that American Marines were re-
called from Nicaragua a few years ago,
after having helped to keep a measure
of peace and order in that little repub-
lie for several years. 1t was not long
after they left, however, before the
Nicaraguan government sent a hurry
call for their return"

practice of the police department IN
keeping records of people who have
the mischief habit. And so they
brought Dams pedigree to the magis-
trate, and 1t showed that Dan had
been arrested on five previous occa-
sions for playing with fire alarms. The
judge had no choice but to give him
fifteen days to think it over.
The trouble Is that Dan cannot help
himself much. SO long as he can get
mellow. he will be up to shenanigans.
He is built that way, and otherwise he
is very quiet sort of person.

An airship may be started from any
point for any selected destination. 1t
is an axiom, however, that where any
new method of attack is devised, new
and adequate means of defense is per-
fected. Wars may be fought in the
air, but the battleship is quite likely to
complete some important details.

Everybody Good -Natured.


It's a brief, congenial visit
When an airship comes along.
Nobody says What is it
That perhaps is going wrong?"
We don our best apparel;
We relate some little jokes,
We let the glee club carol
And we just say "Howdy Folks !!
There may be another party
That arrives in submarines
Bringing salutations hearty
From remote, romantic scenes.
We are free from all suspicion
And the greeting each extends
With lovely disposition
Is a welcome to good friends.

Traffic throughout the country,
and pedestrians on streets, halted
for one minute as Hitler began
speaking at a factory near Berlin,
to a visible audience of workmen.
Loud speakers in factories, shops,
office buildings and schools all over
the country, and 5000 loud speak
ers here in streets and subway and
railway stations relayed the chan
cellor's speech.

as to treatment of Germany by
