RESIDENTS OBJECT
TO ROTARY SYSTEM
File Protest With Police
Board Seeking Elimina-
ton in East End

Protests made by East End resi-
dents against the establishment of
rotary traffic circles in that Sec
ton of the city were to be taken
Mp by the board of police commits
;sioners at their meeting late this
afternoon. The East End residents,
who are submitting a petition sign
ed by ITO taxpayers, claim that
the traffic circles are menaces to
safety rather than aids.
1.-The protest was submitted to
the board of aldermen at the meet
ing May 9Th, hut; that board an
nounced 1t had no jurisdiction over
the matter and suggested that the
petition be submitted to the po-
lice boara. The petition bears the
names of Raymond Smith and 100
other signers.
It is believed that the petition
ers are protesting specifically
against the traffic circle at East
Main and Silver streets, but the Pc
tition is worded as a protest
against traffic circles that are term
ed "menaces." The circle at East
Main and Silver streets was placed
into operation by the police depart
ment recently, while a short tim.
before rotary was placed at East
Main. Wolcott and Howard streets,
opposite the Church of the Sacred
Heart.
At this afternoons meeting, it is
expected that the board will refer
the petition to the traffic commit
stee, with that group making a
study of the situation and report
ing back its findings at the next
meeting of the board of police COM

Ellen felt an agony of fear and helplessness, there amid the soft lights of the club dining room. as she looked into the eyes of John Dain. It was as if she were seeing again the dying struggles of a man who had drowned in a river near her home years before.
 For, she thought, John Dain was dying, though he was young and vigorous; dying in spirit. victim of eyes. She looked past her to the the despair darkening his brown snow swirling on the boulevard outside the window.
 She pleaded then, hoping there remained minutes in which she could revive the diminishing life in him.
 You'll see from the ships deck the wild beauty of the island, the great mass of green foliage and the mountains like dark pinnacles. The sun will be warm on your face. Then you'll watch the sea breaking white and green. John, perhaps Tahiti will bring you complete peace of mind and soul, even love again. You can forget in that beautiful island in the South Seas"
 John faced her with breeding eyes.
 'It's so kind of you. Ellen, to worry about me. But 1t isn't just the city and the cold that have beaten me. It is myself and my futile existence. You say I'm a successful lawyer. But my place in the firm was just a gift to me when I left college. family herit- age. I've never achieved anything by my own effort alone. I couldn't even achieve marriage to the wo- man thought loved. We'll, that's all over. I'll try to go along and work little while. And then Ellen, why do you bother about me?"
 Ellen wished she could tell him why, could tell that to give him sympathy was not entirely unsel- fish: that 1t had been deeply thrill- ing to renew their casual acquaint- ance and hear his condolences, though these had brought her sor- row. She dared not voice her hope that she could have the love he once had given to the young actress who had broken his heart and then gone on her capricious way.
 She had only one course, she re- fected /. to help him find the healing influence of distance and time, Expenditures under the tropic sun of romantic Oceania. She must give him up, to Tahiti, the sea siren that had Iured count less men.

"Is It really so beautiful? You've seen Tahiti?"
 "of course. I know how 1t will help you"
 John was silent and reflective as he watched the snow. Then there was glow in his eyes as he turned.
 "But I'd be lost, Ellen. I've never thought of leaving the city. my work, my clubs, for flowers on an island across the world. I'd some one there. I'd need friend- ship, and love. Ellen, would ,yon come there and visit me, stay there. perhaps" @
 Ellen tried to keep her voice calm.
 You'd go, John, if would?"
 'It would be glorious!"
 "Why don't you plan? think I'd go. I want to help you"
 Ut would be mad. My partners would be furious. I'd have to quit the firm. I'd be- penniless in a month. But 1t would be wonder full"
 The following day Ellen tried vainly to be an efficient secretary to her white-haired employer, but she spent hours looking out at the bleak vista of the dark and smoky street, and seemed to see white beach with @ fringe of tall palms.
 That night, across the table at the club, she saw that John Dain was somber and thoughtful, but alive, not a drowning man in dark waters of river. She wondered and waited.

Do you care very much Ellen, that we can't go?"
 She felt as If all the world would be forever as bleak for her as the wintry street beyond the window. She sat silent and hoped she would. not cry, and John watched her. He moved his chair and sat close be- side her, and took her hand, and the waiter discreetly retreated past the empty tables. "Ellen, we can't have Tahiti now" John said softly. But [ wondered if we could not have love anyway. I thought I would ask you to marry me, that we could find love and romance in the city. and be happy here as Loti and Rarahu were on the island"
 Ellen saw glowing life in his brown eyes.

 'Ill confess, John. I never was story of the love of Lott and Rarahu and I've believed in it," John kissed her.

For us, and for any one, love need not be something far away on south sea island, We'll have the sun, too, for spring is almost here.
