THE RIGHT DIRECTION

A CTION OF police and city judges in curb
ing traf1c violations is worthy Of praise.
This. coupled with the efforts Of the In

gambling. shows that the Law actually can be
enforced in this Hoosier city.
It is a shame that newspapers and the
public must plead for such enforcement before
the hundreds OF police officers. who are sup

POLITICAL SETUP IN
POSTOFFICE is SCORED

By Jimmy Cafouras.
There are voices in the wilderness
CRYING out for civil service systems
and merit systems. And there are
MANY who hear these voices. And
there is a. general impression that
the voices are heard. Yet there are
those who wonder.
When Huey Long rants so We
hemently at the Postmaster General
of the United States there surely
must be some provocation. When
we. the ordinary citizens observe
that the members of the civil
service commission are politicians,
more or less and that the general
mine run of postmasters are poll
ticians we should not wonder that
political influence and political con-
siderations should bear so much
weight with these gentlemen.
One is prompted to say that the
mail goes through and must go
through not because of these So
called postmasters and postmaster
generals but in spite Of them.

REMINDER

BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK
was annoyed today, I will confess:
We tasted April nights Of raptured
wine.
Together we knew love for the first
time.
Together did its first white flower
bless
And give to US the bloom Of tender
ness.
We stood, our senses stepped In
columbine:
Our swift hearts pounding out the
same design
Of finely patterned, fragile lowell
ness.
And then love died one bitter,
autumn day.
We stood in silence as the grave was
filed.
I could not meet your eyes; you
turned away.
We stood while rapture eboed and
madness stilled.
TODAY we met, and shook hands,
neatly gloved.
You had forgot that once we two
had loved.

all times, at crossing streets, etc.
Yet according to Mr.. Morgan, the
buildings our children enter at Tech
are more dangerous than any street
or crossing in indianapolis.
After such warning by Mr..
Morgan, are we going to continue to
let our children enter these
"Crumbling Ruins" until some day
we find, to our sorrow, that chill
dren are carried out of these
ruins" their bodies crushed or
charred?
This week there is no school. Let
every parent who has child at
Tech speak before it is too late. AS
one parent who has two children
going to Tech, I not only ask, but
I demand that we hear from our
fire chief, from the Board of Safety
and from the Board of Health.

BUILDING CONDITIONS AT
TECH BRING WARNING

By s. A. Nelson.
De Witt S. Morgan, principal at
Technical High School in his article
in The Times, March 26. has placed
before the parents, having children
who are pupils at Tech, a very
serious warning. Shall We as
parents, heed his warning, or shall
we ignore it, and permit our chill
dren to continue to enter such
dangers as Mr.. Morgan outlines.
AS we send ou. children on their
way, We warn them TO be careful at

UNDER FIRE
Property Owners In
Bethesda Object to
Proposed Site

Owners of country estates on
the Rockville Pike beyond Be-
thesda declared war today on a
proposal by the Federal Govern
n1ent to invade that area for pub
lie purposes.
AS the first move in their cam
paign, directors of the Bethesda
chamber of commerce went on
record last night as opposed to
erection of an experimental labo-
ratory on the pike by the Public
Health Service. The new labo-
ratory, if built, would use mon
keys and other animals in serum
experiments.
A mittee was named,
headed by George E. Hamilton,
sr., chairman of the Bethesda
special improvement committee
of the chamber and chairman of
the board of the Capital Transit
Company, to present the protest
to the proper authorities.
Near Bethesda
It is proposed by the Public
Health Service to build a 100000
laboratory on a 45-acre tract do
mated to the Government by Luke
I. Wilson, retired capitalist who
is now abroad. The property is
about half mile north of Be-
thesda and almost directly across
the road from the Hamilton es-
tate. It would be visible from
several of the handsomest coun-
try homes in the Washington met
ropolitan district.
All of those voting for last

dius of two miles of the building

secretary, John A. Overholt.
Another leader in the fight op-
posing erection of the laboratory
is George P. Sacks, president of
the Bank of Bethesda.

Government toward erection of
the laboratory before January, Of

He later obtained some sand

AGE.
PENSION LAW
EXPLAINED
Non EIigibIes Apply
Says S. E. Shannahan,
State Aid Head

Maryland's old age pension law
was explained in detail in Balti-
more today by Samuel E. Shan.
nahan, chairman of the Board
of State Aid and Charities, who
revealed that many applications
are being received from non
eligibles who believe they are
eligible just because they are
over IS years of age.
To be eligible to obtain a
pension under the Maryland law,
he said, the applicant must
meet the following requirements: {:
He must have reached the
age Of IS, and there must be
documentary evidence of that
fact.
He must be without means
of support either from his own
resources or those of legally
responsible relatives.
He must have been a citizen
Of this country for Is years or
more.
BANS ARE STRICT
He must have resided in
Maryland at least five years
within the last 10 years.
He cannot be an inmate Of a
public correctional institution,
nor can he have willfuIIy failed
to support his family, or have
been convicted Of a felony dur.
ing the last 10 years.
When the pension is granted
the total income of the aged per-
son, from all sources, including
the pension, cannot exceed $50
a month.
Mr.. Shannahan explained that
because of this last requirement
it is necessary for the State
to investigate each appi-
cation.
A Close Check
Bank savings, insurance, real
building and loan and
compensations or pensions of any
kind must be checked. A similar
investigation must necessarily be
made Of the legally responsible
relatives IS we'll as the applicant.
The la\ \ specifically prohibits
OF "a pension to anyone
who has dep. lived himself of any
property for The purpose of quail
flying for a pension.

District Suicide Rate
Among Highest in u. S.

Only IA other cities in the
country have a higher suicide rate
than Washington, it was revealed
today.
According to a report on a sur
vey of ITO representative cities

man, consulting statistician, ap-
pearing in the Spectator, Washing.
tons suicide rate in 1888 was 1873
per 100000 and in 1884 was 26.1.
The highest suicide rate for
1884 was in Sacramento, Cal,
where the percentage was 34.2.
The other cities in which the

DR.. Hoffman explains the sui
eide rate in terms of the depres-
sion, declaring:
"The diminishing social eff.
fectS Of the depression are
clearly viSualized in a decrease
in the suicide rate during 1884,
the rate for not quite 100
American cities having declined
from 1871 per 100000 in 1888
to 17.3 in 1894"

TEXTILES TO HAVE
 VERY BUSY YEAR

Uxbridge, Mass, Dec. 2--(UP)- The coming year will be the most prosperous the New England textile industry has had since start of the depression, according to Vice-Presi- dent Horace A. Riviere of the Unit- ed Textile Workers of Arperica. Riv- iere told 2000 members of the UTWA at 8 second anniversary meeting iiere yesterday that union leaders, however, would not allow textile workers to suffer greater ex- ploitation while the manufacturers heap up profits"
 "If industry or any great business enterprise is to be successful, fair ness must be exercised by all parties concerned" he said. Surely 1t is not fair to give a textile worker a machine overload, inaugurated three-shift program and keep the ranks of the unemployed intact, or force wage reductions on workers who have been started into subrnis- sion." Other New England states, which need proper labor laws. should follow Massachusetts in ef- forts for industrial improvement, according to the union leader There is no question but that the textile industry Of New England will have better year in 1936 than it has experienced since the advent of the depression" Riviere said.

TWO YOUTHS ARE
 ELECTROCUTED

Rockview Penitentiary, Bellefonte. Pa, Dec. 2.-(UP)-Two youths who tried to prolong the Capone tradi- ton in the 'underworld-double- crossing and cold killing, were elec- trocuted in state prison today. Mar tin Farrell, 28, and Franics Wiley, 27, died six minutes apart, and with them died the last notorious Mais- Legenza gang which terrorized the eastern seaboard from Richmond, Va, to New York.
 Their record was long and bloody. But the crime for which they for feited their lives was the Kidnapping and killing of Big Bill Weiss, Phila- delphia underworld figure. Robert Mais and George Legenza also par ticipated in Weiss murder but months ago they were electrocuted at Richmond, Va, for another mur- der.
 Robert Elliott, the gauht, sad- faced man who is the official exec cutioner for four eastern states, ended the gang when he pulled Q switch that turned big bulbs yellow and sent Farrell and Wiley lunging against the straps.
 They swaggered to their death. Farrell first, just as the big hands on the prison clock read 12:30 Q. m.
