Finds Some Police
UnredsonabIe

TO the Editor of The Times:
Although I have no quarrel
with the Washington police,
and have found them to be
courteous as compared with
police officers in general, I
think there is room for com.
plant over the officiousuess Of
some members Of the traffic
squad. And this criticism ap-
plies likewise to a few--not
many-of the higher officers.
Fortunately there has been
an improvement recently, since
the police department came un-
der the direction Of Major
Brown.
I am complaining about the
annoyance and wholly unrea-
Sonable attitude Of several par
ticular officers.

Many Needy Found
On Drunk List

TO the Editor of The Times:
I realize that the Transient
Bureau and other relief agen-
cies have a tremendous job on
their hands in taking care Of
the many unfortunates who
seek their aid and should per-
haps be spared criticism be-
cause of this. But the officials
would surely seek some way Of
changing the procedure of relief
work if they could spend any
length Of time in Police Court.
Here come loads and loads
Of drunks. In a good number Of
cases, defendants say, when
asked where they work, that
they are on direct relief or
doing work given them a few
days q month by relief authori.
ties, or are living at the Tran.
sient Bureau.
OF course, the liquor they
buy is inexpensive and the
worst kind but their being in
court does not create much
sympathy for the relief system.
While a poor man should be
entitled to get drunk as often
as the rich, he should not ex-
pect the public to not only pay
for his keep in jail, but to foot
the bill for his liquor also.

Snake With Hind Legs
Is Found in Nebraska

Omaha, Neb.-A snake with two legs
was brought to town by Harry 0. Pal
,mer from his farm at Louisville. He
says snakes with legs are rare, but
they do have them sometimes The
fact that these may properly be called
hind legs makes the reptile particu.
larry worthy Of notice, in its captor's
opinion. The snake is a spreading
viper, one of the nonvenomous kind.
1t is two feet long and its legs are
about five inches from the tip Of the
tail. They don't amount to anything
to speak of, because they measure only
little more than a quarter of an
inch in length, but nobody can deny
that they are legs.

Now the two dogs stand guard

Tyl and nip at his heels whenever
