Police Are Inefficient in
Drive Against ReckLessnesS

To the Editor of The Times:
May I comment on the "ef-
ficient" methods of the police in
the Sixth precinct during Major
Browns drive against reckless
drivers.
A 10-year-old child of my &C
quaintance was struck by an auto
mobile in Takoma Park, D. c., on
August 2, at 2:3O p. m. He said
he did not know where the car
came from"
A Sixth precinct policeman took
the child home and told his grand
mother that there was nothing
the matter with the boy, only
bruised"
At 7:30 p. M, he was taken to
the Washington Sanitarium, where
it was found he had a broken
shoulder. The kind people at this
hospital were shocked to hear that
the boy had not received immedi-
ate hospital treatment.
Since then, it was found the
boys kidneys were also seriously
injured.
The driver of the car was re-
leased and the policeman called
at the boys house and advised his
grandmother not to do anything
about it.
Was the driver given a brake
test or was it seen if his horn
was. in working order? Inquiry at
No. 6 developed the facts that the

Why Tip ImpOlite
Cashiers and Walters?
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
1t seems that there are cab
drivers, porters and walters in
Washington who think that they
should receive tips, and don't.
am referring to an article that
appeared recently in Washing
ton paper.
I think that If these people
would practice courtesy more,
they would profit by it. I have
been in your city four months
and have ridden in taxicabs quite
a bit, and not one time has a
driver alighted from his cab to
assist me in getting in and out.
Not that I need his assistance, but
a lady notices these things and
appreciates courtesy.
Only once has a cab driver
thanked me when I paid my fare.
AS for walters and porters, I
really think they are more polite
and I tip them more often than
I do cab drivers, for that reason.

BY ARTHUR B. DONEGAN


NEW YORK, Aug. IL UN.S0
One week from today, $4,000
troops take the field for the moSt
important peace-time training
exercises ever held by an Ameri
| can army.
For the first time in history
the United Staes will send into
the field q complete army, al
least partially equipped with the
most modern weapons, for maneu
vers comparable to those held
frequently by major foreign
powers.
Three Units COOrdinated
Largest concentration Of troops
will be near Pine Camp, N. Y.
where $4,000 officers and men
will engage in combat tactics un
der command of Maj. Gen. Den
mis- E. Nolan. commander Of the
First Field Army, from which the
troops are drawn.
At Mt. Gretna, Pa, $4,000 more
soldiers will train under Maj. Gen.
Robert E. Callan, Third Corps Area
. commander, and at Fort Devens,
Mass, 1900 regulars will put in
two weeks of combat practice. All
three maneuvers will be linked by
common strategic detectives.
All of the newest weapons de
veloped by the army-field artil
lery, tanks, mechanical cavalry
anti-aircraft forces and infantry
weapons-will be utilized.
It will be the first time many OF
the troops have seen these weap'
ons, particularly the mechanical
cavalry and the medium Christie
tanks.
Travelling Kitchen Feature
The cavalry detachment comes
from Fort Knox, KY, where the
only mechanical cavalry regiment
in the army is stationed. Their
equipment will include two
armored cars, two machine gun
carriers and a travelling kitchen
that boasts running water and
turns out meals while travelling 40
miles an hour.
The armored cars are 5-ton af-
fairs, can do SIS miles an hour and
mount a 50-caliber and a 30-cali'
Der machine gun and Thompson
Sub-machine gun.
The machine gun carriers
mount three guns. They are used
to carry machine gun crews to
. battle line where the guns are dis
mounted for ground use. The car
riers are also equipped with ped
estals from which the guns may
be used against hostile aircraft.
Tanks Formidable
OF great interest are the tanks,
said by military experts to be the
most formidable weapon Of the
type developed since the World
War. They weigh $4,000 pounds,
are powered with 12cylinder en-,
gines and can climb a 40-degree
slope. Equipped with both wheels
and tractor tracks, they can do so
miles an hour on the road and 80
miles an hour croSs-country.
Each mounts a 37-millimeter
gun and a 30-caliber machine gun
and is manned by two soldiers.
Observers at recent European ma
neuvers believe the American
tanks are faster and possess
. greater offensive power than any
similar weapon in use abroad.
Many of the troops will also see
motorized field artillery in use for
the first time. With the excep-
ton of two regiments, all the ar.
tillery used in the maneuvers will
be drawn by trucks or tractors,
vastly increasing mobility and en-
abling greater concentration of
fire power.
The infantry, too, will demon

with which the general staff
plans to replace the present ser.
vice rifle and the motorcycle
mounted machine guns developed
for reconnaissance and for use
with infantry troops.

His tail was black, showing little
white along the edges when he flew.
Altogether he was a handsome little
fellow.
do all your family have those fun
ny little horns?" asked Peter.
NO." replied Wanderer promptly,
Mrs. Lark does not have them"
II think they are very becoming"
said Peter, politely.
"Thank you," replied Wanderer, II
am inclined to agree with you"
Just then Peter discovered some
thing that he hadn't noticed before.
'My goodness" he exclaimed, what
long claw you have on each hind
toew
1t was true. Each hind claw was
about twice as long as any other claw.
Peter couldn't see any special use for
these, and was just about to ask more
about them when Wanderer suddenly
spied flock of his relatives some dis
lance away and flew over to join them.
Probably this saved him some embar-
rassment, for 1t was doubtful If he
himself knew why Old Mother Nature
had given him those long hind claws.

man or woman who had lost reputa-
ton, honor, dignity, would be ostra-
cized, regardless of how much of the
worlds goods remained with them.
The western slogan that money is
power" and the penchant for winking
an eye where an offender has that
power, is important not only in such
matters as discredited officials and the
absconding rich. 1t is significant all
the way down the line to the daily
actions Of average people. There is
that emphasis on getting what one
wants, without too much thought on
how one gets 1t. In social as well
as business matters, women are guilty
of little tricks to attain their ends,
SO they undoubtedly "lose face" but
they seem Indifferent to this as long
as their end is attained.
am not promoting the idea of sui
eide for lost dignity. But l believe
our standards of life would be very
much improved by placing more value
on what in the East is called 'face"
and less on getting the things we
want.

quainted, for Wanderer seldom stayed
long enough for a real acquaintance.
Now, as Wanderer reached up to
pick seeds from weed top, Peter had
a good look at him. The first thing
he noticed was what looked like two
little horns above and behind the eyes.
1t is from these that Wanderer gets
the name of Horned Lark. OF course,
they are not really horns at all, but
little tufts of black feathers. His fore
head, line over each eye, and his
throat were yellow. There was black
mark from each corner of his bill curv-
ing downward and almost joining
black crescent shaped band across the
breast. Beneath this he was solid
white with dusty spots showing here
and there. His back was brown in
places, having almost a pinkish tinge.

MORE EMPHASIS ON FACE

BECAUSE he shared responsibility
- for the emperor's party taking a
wrong turn in their trip through city
which received royal visit, a police
inspector in Japan attempted to COM
NIT suicide.
Death was preferable to the dis
grace that would descend upon the un-
fortunate blunderer and his family and
all his relatives. For by his mistake
this man had lost face" And in
Japan to lose face is far worse thing
than to lose material possessions.

The House Awakes!
BY ANNE CAMPBELL

THE house awakes with Dickie,
Il whose bare feet
Come pattering across the sunny hall,
And then the other children's voices
fall
Across the quiet rooms; and on our
street
A dozen houses, filled with children,
And dust the sleep out of their drowsy
eyes.
When off to school the happy children
go,
The house sinks in sleep as deep as
Death,
And does not wake till the returning
breath
OF children make its staring windows
glow.
And down our street dozen houses
shout,
And wake to happiness when school

PROFITABLE WATER

Some farmers in the drouth re-
gions who were able to improvise ir-
rigation systems last summer reaped
handsome profits. John G. Dunegan
of the bureau of plant industry re-
port the experience of fruit grow
er who irrigated 1927 eight-year-ol
peach trees in an orchard at Spring
dale, Ark. He applied approximate
ly 100000 gallons of water during
the drouth at cost of $240. He
marketed about 5000 bushels of
peaches from the trees, and the fruit
was SO much better size and quality
than the peaches from unirrigated
trees that his price was about 80
cents bushel more than his neigh
bors were able to get.
Thus the $240 expenditure for wa
ter was responsible for a $500 in
crease in income, for quality, not
counting the increase in the number
of bushels he harvested as the re-
suit of irrigation.

In China, too, it is not uncommon oc-
currence for people to take their own
lives for reasons of far less Importance
than causing the car of the emperor to
take a wrong turn. However, they are
mistakes which cause the person to lose
face-that is the important thing. To
lose face is to lose dignity and the
respect of others. And what then, say
these sons of an ancient culture, is
there left?

1t seems to me that the onus there
is not alone on the man or woman

mayor who with honor and reputation

the onus is on the viewpoint of the

liquid Iaxatives

You'd use liquid, too, if you knew
how much better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage is the secret Of real and safe
relief from, constipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help-and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without aid.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form OF

liquid laxative generally used is DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
SIENNA and cascara, and these are
natural laxatives that form no habit.

MANAGER IS USURPED BY
 TAbbYl CAT

The celebration with the Christmas tree that touched the ceiling and had a manager beneath it, was over, and row of little stockings were hang ing for Santa Claus Mother had just tucked the happy children into bed and by the soft glow of the nurs- cry Christmas tree was singing Christmas carols to them.
 Father was about to turn off the lights below and lock the door for the evening when he heard a faint meow from the cold darkness without. Upon opening the door he saw forlorn, bedraggled tabby cat almost frozen in the Christmas snow.
 Why, you poor creature" spoke father tenderly, "come in this very minuteT For some moments fa- ther was busy making tabby com fortable. He found some milk which be warned, and plenty of holiday food He served kitty with gener- ous portions of Christmas repast, and then provided soft bed in the corner, with a cushion from his own easy shair Tabby showed her ap-. preciation by purring and purring louder than father had ever heard a cat purr before.
 Satisfied and delighted with his Christmas guest, father retired, grim
