JUDGE COBB CONCURS
IN SMAlL-lOAN RULING
Holds Note Is Void Because Com
pany Did Not Have License
to Operate.

Judge James Cobb of Municipal
Court yesterday concurred in a ruling
made several weeks ago by his asso-
ciate, Judge Robert Mattingly, on a
point Of law involving small-loan
companies in the District.
The point. brought up by Attorneys
Frank A. Hampton and Clifford A.
Sheldon, representing the defendants
in a suit on note given on a small
loan, involved the validity Of the note
and the lack of license of the COM
pany to which it was given by the
borrower
Judge Cobb ruled that, inasmuch as
Charles Oshinskey, plaintiff in the
suit to collect the note, did not have
a District license to operate a small
loan business, the note was void. Mat
tingly gave similar decision in
number of cases some weeks ago at
the instance of Hampton and Sheldon
and as a result the plaintiffs with
drew their suits.

BALBOA, Canal Zone, April "a
The sun rose over the horizon Of the
Pacific Ocean today to illuminate .
steady stream Of United States Navy
warships still moving through the
Panama Canal in the procession main
tanned for "a hours past.
The transit of Ill warships, which
began at Sill am. yesterday, was not
completed in the "a hours suggested
before the maneuver began, but the
completion appeared probable before
nightfall.
Clouds scudded across the sky fore
casting the approach OF the rainy
season. The warships, unhurried, but
wasting not a minute of time, glided
through calm waters in the unprece-
dented feat.
All commercial shipping was tied up
and some 80 vessels were awaiting an
opportunity to get across the Isthmus.
British Cruiser Delayed.
Among those delayed was the
British cruiser. H. M. S. Exeter, which
had asked for a quick transit, but was
held here. Comdr. A. v. r. Watson,
u. S. NJ, boarded the Exeter upon its
arrival at 4 am. today and explained
the situation, conveying his excuses
As dawn broke, Navy scouting
planes started a patrol above the
Canal Zone and few minutes later
the pursuit ships from Albrook Field
were in the air, flying back and forth
across the canal. The whole organi-
zation gave the appearance Of war
days, with military units on duty
everywhere.
The dispatchers, who have gone
without sleep since 3 am. yesterday,
were feveriShly at work moving the
vessels along on their course from the
Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, which,
strangely enough, is from the east to
the west. This is due to the fact that
the 1sthmus Of Panama bends in such
a fashion that the passage is actually
west OF north rather than east.
Movements Are Charted.
Likewise, sleepless were so civilian
pilots. half of whom are members of
the United States Naval Reserve, oper-
ating under the direction of Comdr. L.
D. Scott, U. S. N, the Balboa port
captain, and Capt. Charles Svensson.
U. S. N. R., assistant port captain.
Each one of the Ill vessels Is
guided through the 47-mile waterway
and the movement Of each vessel Is
reported in the dispatcher's ofice by
signal stations along the route.

CHAMBER ASKS
FEDERAL HELP
FOR HIGHWAY

The chamber of commerce has
addressed DR.. L. I. Hewes, chief en-
gineer of the United States bureau
of public roads at San Francisco,
asking him to make a survey of
the Benson Wilcox-B Bowie highway
in Cochise county, Arizona, with a
view to establishing it's suitability
as a military highway and it's ulti-
mate inclusion in the federal aid
highway system.
Last week, the Arizona State
House of Representatives voted to
memorialize the U. s. Bureau OF
Public Roads to this end. The
measure failed in the Arizona State
senate, losing by one vote. Groups
in Southern California and South
ern Arizona feel that this was close
enough to victory to warrant
urging the bureau to conduct q
preliminary investigation.
mo road in the Southwest would
do more good to the Southern coun-
ties of Arizona and California" said
Hays, than this Wilcox road, If
taken into the federal aid number
ed highway system and hard sur
faced. It is the key TO highway
travel to Imperial Valley. Since
the road in New Mexico between
Lordsburg and Douglas has been
completed and opened few months
ago, highway travel has materially
increased, and it would increase
many fold if the Wilcox road were
hard surfaced. There is a unique
political situation existing in Ari-
zona, and particularly in Cochise
County, and the towns of Douglas
and Bisbee oppose the improvement
of the Wilcox road for fear it
might divert travel from their COM
munities. However, the road has
so much of merit, trayersing as it
does a terrain almost free from
mountains and further materially
shortening the time and distance,
that it is but a question of time be-
fore the opposition must be beaten
down and the road completed. When
1t is finished, we will enjoy a very
heavy increase in travel along the
Southwest and in Imperial Valley"

TREES ARE:
PLENTIFUL

One crop which was not hurt by
the drought this summer is Christ
mas trees. Nearly 10000 small
trees from the national forests are
now on their way to market to add
their share to the enjoyment of the
holiday season.
Rightly selected from the forest,
the Christmas tree benefits the for
est as we'll as the recipient of Yule-
tide cheer. The United States For
est Service has sent $4,000 tags to
the national forests to be attached
to Christmas trees cut for the
coming holidays. Every Christmas
tree cut from the national forests
carries a special message of good
will toward the forest that pro-
duced it, the tag reading:
"This tree brings a Christmas
message from the great outdoors.
It's cutting was not destructive but
gave needed room for neighboring
trees to grow faster and better. 1t
was cut under the supervision of
the United States Forest Service
from crowded stand on the ma
tional foreSt.'
The legend also states that pro-
lection of the forest stands from
fires has made it possible for the
little tree to decorate the home on
Christmas day.
The national forest crop of
Christmas trees is only a fraction
of the total requirements to sthe
United States which amounts to
something like 100000 trees an
nually.
The Christmas tree harvest. has
already begun in some of the pri-
vate and public forests of the north
eastern states In few national
forests, notably the Pike in Color
ado. the Nicolet in wisconsin, the
Kootenal, the Lolo and the Gala
tin in Montana, and the Shasta in
California, the Christmas tree tag
requirements have been increased
this year.
