To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
I salute you!
A million cheers and ten mil
lion sincere hurrahs for your mas
terly editorial of Saturday, Sep
tember 2S, in defense Of US pedes-
trianS.
If it were in my power, I would
give you the Pulitzer Prize for
this vigorous, meaty, concise and
splendid masterpiece. In my
meager way; I take this means to
thank you, sir.
read an editorial since yours
in another Washington paper IN
regard to the pedestrian problem
and it was exactly like the shout
ings of the I'VE too" boys Of the
Harding Coolidge-Hoo era.
The theme Of it was: Var
Duzer is right, they ought to bt
fined-or should they be?
Possibly the editor who wrote
it hasn't ''hoofed it" arounc
Washington for the past five
years. He views the problem
from his car, while Mr.. Van Bun
gle views it from an airplane.

i. 5. BALANCE
OF TRADE LOW

With exports running about
$4,000 less for the first eight
months Of this year compared
with the corresponding period
in 1884, the United States still
faces its most unfavorable bal
ance Of trade in AZ years, a
study Of figures compiled by the
Department Of Commerce and
the United States Chamber OF
Commerce disclosed. ...,
The Commerce Department
reported August imports totaled
about AZ per cent above the
same month Of last year. For
the whole eight-month period,
imports totaled $1,341. 200, ,l69-
$3.50, ,705, 900 greater than the
corresponding period last year.
At the same time Americas
exports have totaled Just ST.
1863, 1873, 900, leaving only negli'
gible favorable balance Of trade
when the lowest balance OF
trade for this century has not
fallen below 1925, 100000.
The Chamber Of Commerce
figures point to the processing
tax as the cause for unusual
low balance of trade.

a rest. Rainy weather has no terrors
for him. Adventure is what he Graves
and what he gets. Sometimes you will
see a mink sitting perfectly erect,
eyeing the landscape with the most
alert expression you will ever see on
an animals face. Then, dropping on
all fours, the animal will go for a
closer inspection, or spring noiselessly
upon his unSuspecting victim.
Few animals are SO successful as
mousers and few are such robbers of
nests. They seem to get the most
pleasure out Of chasing mice and II

Rabbits are tormented in the same

Mother mink selects a cozy site in

to the food supply close by. and has
her home where rocks form a barri-
cade from larger animals, using q
hollow log, lying in the woods, or q
stump where handsome cattailS and
bullrushes conceal her doorway.
The baby minks remain with their
mother until Autumn. BY then she
has trained them we'll They seldom
wander far from home. When the
frosty nights arrive they are restless
youngsters and want to 60 out on
their own. Here they seek quarters
by themselves, each having its own
camp and list Of empty homes in
which to rest.
Though minks are not sociably in
clined, they are not quarrelsome and
get along well together. Where food
is very abundant several have been
seen on friendly terms.

other he missed twice as 1t fell. He
was half blind with the dazzle; he
heard the stone fall on the gravel of
that naked patio.
The sound was voice to him. He
heard a slight murmur among the
guards and saw the flash of their
malice.
And that" said Juan-Silva, "was
still worse. But all good things come
in threes. So here you are again"
Three flashing pebbles he threw,
this time. The second gun was already
in the hand Of the Kid. With his
Scowling broWs he made q shadow
that enabled him to look close to the
sun. He dared not miss and therefore
he held his fire heart t-breaking in
slant before each shot.
The first stone disappeared at the
top of its rise, the second as it began
to fall and the third when 1t was q
foot from the ground.
The guards drew in a gasping
breath in unionisn. Juan-Silva said:
THAT is very good. You are Ell
Keed-I am almost sure. How can
you make me quite certain, my
friend?"
Question me-" said Montana.
This man, this gringo, this famous
Montana who has ridden through our
Mexico and left dead men behind him,
he is also q singer, eh? He sings the
good songs, the old songs. I have
heard about that, too. Will you sing
for me, friend?"
He leaned forward, with his chin
cupped in his hand, his elbow on his
knee. And the Kid searched his men,
ory eagerly. Then, after humming a
note or two. he smiled and struck into
that famous old stirring song of
another age:
Land anc house, horse and saddle"
Good" said the old man. closing
his eyes as though the song were still
running through his mind. Very
good, and now you are twice Fl Keed.
Be it three times and we are friends.
But, as said before, all right things
are in threes.
And El Keed, I have heard, IS a
hunter is like a cat that sees in the
dark. You shall have that chance.
II you see in the dark you are Ell Keed
and no other. Besides, I shall give
you chance to do something that
will be very famous afterward."

The odor of liquor on Conrad's breath
was very obvius to her. Barbara had
bolted into her room and locked her
door. and the next morning while
Conrad was still asleep she had noise

Just 3 months and II days since he

THE coat of arms here shown ID
= used by the descendants of Sam
uel Jackson, an early settler in the
Province of Maryland. He was the
owner of 200 acres Of land on the
lower peninsula of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland, which Lord Baltimore
decreed should be named in honor OF
"our dear sister, the Lady Mary Som
erset."
Samuel Jackson was q man skilled
in trading and finance, and his name
is found affixed to many important
deeds and transactions in the early
days. He was not inclined toward on
cial life, but preferred the simple, leis-
urely ways of the English gentleman.
He was, however, associated with
troops in the common defense of his
State by quartering soldiers, and was
paid for his services In tobacco. at
that time the only currency available
for such purposes.
Samuel Jackson died at his estate.
Abergaveney. in 1888.
This ancestor is only one OF many
OF that name who came to American
shores during the first wave of emf
grafton from England, Ireland, Scot
land and other parts Of Europe. The
name Is derived from the personal
name Jack-Jackson, the "son Of
Jack" and is found in all parts OF the
world today. Among the New England
settlers We find the names of Abra-
ham jackson, Edmund. Edward,
Henry. John, Nicholas, Richard. Sam
uel, Walter, William. Most Of them
came from England and settled in or
near Boston.
