FOR SERVICE MEMS SCHOOL
approximately 1000 Men From
This Territory to Attend 1t

A tWo-day intensive course in
service instruction to be attended
by approximately 1000 Ford deal
ers' parts and service men of the
Chester Branch territory of the
Ford Motor Company will be held
in Philadelphia on December 10
and 20, Ford officials at Chester,
Pa, announced today. Represent
atives of the local Ford dealers will
attend. The meeting is part of a
national campaign and promises to
be one of the most comprehensive
ever conducted by the Ford Motor
Company. An attempt will be
made to touch on every phase of
automobile service work Demon
stratiOns of model service sations
and methods will play an import
ant part in the course. The meet
ing place, the Philadelphia Ford
Lincoln Building, Broad St. and Le-
high avenue, will be converted into
a modern school of instruction for
the course. Parts exhibits in ad-
dition to accessory and mechanical
displays will make up the labora-
tory equipment necessary for the
carrying on of the school. The
purpose of the meeting is to furth-
er educate Ford dealers parts and
service men in the latest approved
methods of rendering mechanical
and personal service to patrons of
the Ford Motor Company. Since
service is as much a part of the
Frd Motor Company policy as
manufacturing and sales, it is nee
essary for the company to keep
abreast of the ever changing meth
ods of servicing its products. To
do this, a staff of factory-trained
instructors are kept in the field
visiting Ford dealers establish
ments. These instructors are
equipped with travelling schools
Ford panel jobs which contain the
latest developments in schientific
instruments for the servicing of
modern vehicles Of transportation.
Dealers, parts and service men are
continually being trained in The
proper uses of these instruments.

How Do You Feel
About Mercy Murders?
the Editor Of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
There has been considerable ref.
erence to mercy murders and
quite a bit Of controversy pro and
con on the subject.
If one has a dearly beloved pet,
a cat or a dog, does one hesitate
to put the animal out Of misery
if it is incurably i'll? If not, why
should one have any scruples
where a human is concerned?
Human beings, possessing sense
and intellect, naturally feel pain
more than animals. Imagination
alone tends to make human
beings more sensible to pain.
know whereof I speak, for
periodically suffer most eXcru-
ciating pains, resulting from a
faulty operation. Yet since it is
periodical and not continuous, I
have some consolation.
How must the onlooker feel to-
wards those who are in hopeless
condition, always suffering pain?
Of course, where there is hope or
where one is crippled with no
pain attached, mercy murder is
out. It should be reSorted to only
when the suffering is unbearable

AnternAtlOnaI NeWe service
Sustained improvement in in
dustrial operations during the
closing months of the year was
emphasized today by the Com
merce Department.
The seaSonally adjusted index
of production in November reached
the highest point since the second
quarter Of 1880, except for brief
period of unbalanced output" in
the summer of 1888, the depart
ment's business survey declared.
Production in leading industries
was maintained in November, fol-
lowing the October improvement.
In October. according to the Re
serve Boards adjusted index, pro-
duction increased five points to
"a. A further advance in produc-
ton during December is expected.
In the first 10 months of 1885
the output of durable goods in.
creased about one-fourth over the
same period in 1884.
The factory employment index
advanced four points since June.
While automobile production was
the most important factor in the
october gain, increased employ
ment was reported in three
fourths of the manufacturing in
dustries, the department reported.

Sees Italy Fighting
u. S. For Oil

To the Editor of The Times:
The bombing Of a U. s. hospital
by the Italians in DeSsye in Eth
iopia, thereby killing women and
children, only means the Italians
have Just begun their fight on
Americans. Evidently this be-
cause Of the fact we Americans
refused to sell oil to Italy to carry
on this war.
I think someone should put an
end to Mussolini and his dictator
ship right now and end this war
at once. Just because he can't
have all the land he wants in
Ethiopia he starts war.
He would not dare to lead his
armies into Ethiopia because he
knows he would be killed. Well
Mussolini should be killed, when
we think that the dictate Of one
man has caused all Of this war
with Italy and Ethiopia and per-
haps the whole Of Europe and
maybe our dear America.
And speaking Of Japan-our
Alaska ought to be well fortified
against an air raid in every way.
For Gods sake keep America out
Of war, for women and children
will never be safe in another.

TRIAL JUSTICE
ELECTIONS
OPPOSED

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Dec. 11.-Opposition to a
recent proposal by State Senator
John w. Rust. Of Fairfax county,
to amend the State trial justice
act to permit the election Of
county trial justices by popular
vote loomed here today as mem
bers of the Arlington County
Bar Association studied reSolu'
ton opposing the amendment.
Senator Rust, who represents
Arlington and Prince William
counties and the city Of Alex
andria, along with Fairfax
county, recently stated that
since such officials in several
counties receive salaries COM
mensurate with clerks Of the
court, commissioners Of revenue,
county treasurers and common
wealth's attorneys, all Of whom
are elected by the people, he
believed justices also should be
elected by a popular vote Of
the people.
Not only does the pending reso-
luton ask the local bar to oppose
such legislation, but it further
favored the change of Arlington's S
Set-up, which. through a special
act Of the general assembly, per.
mitS this county to elect its JUS
tice. The justice here, however,
under the county manager form
of government, is in the same
category as that of civil and
police court judges in munich.
palitieS.
Presented to the bar here yes
terday by Arthur c. Stickley, and
seconded by T. A. Crittenden, the
resolution opposes the election Of
any judicial officer. An attempt
to table the resolution was lost,
and it was ordered held over to
the January meeting in order to
give members Of the bar ample
time to study the substance Of
the proposal.
Other changes in the judicial
setup now prevailing in Virginia,
as recommended in the resolution
now under consideration by the
local bar, would be the duration
of all judicial appointments good
for the life of the appointee, con-
ditioned only on the conduct OF
the officer.
Circuit. corporation and husting
judges are now appointed for
duration Of eight years. while the
justices of the State Supreme
Court are appointed for IL years.
The county trial justices are ap-
pointed for four-year terms, as are
the terms Of the judges of county
court, such as the setup for Arling-
ton county.

Amber Light Would Gi0s
Pedestrian a Chance

To the Editor OF The Times:
1t is appalling to read and hear
Of the numerous auto tragedies
occurring daily in the District.
Certainly there is little excuse for
these in a community Of educated
and sane people.
Pedestrians are fearful OF cross
ing the streets even when the
green lights are on, as any mo
ment they may change to red,
leaving the helpless, bewildered
person in the middle Of the street.
sandwiched between wild and in
sane traffic, approaching from
all four sides.
The amber lights should be for
pedestrians only. They should
remain long enough for safe and
fearless crossing, as is done IN
other cities.
The show-off driver sees the red
light, knows he must stop, yet
continues his high rate OF speed
until about 2 inches away from
the persons crossing. 1t Is enough
to paralyze one.
The incessant blowing Of horns
should be stopped. Some drivers
act childish If they cannot make
their desired rate Of speed, and
give several loud blasts. Like
sheep, others follow. and we have
symphony of nerve'wrackins
sounds. This should not be toI-
Grated. especially at night.
There must be some one here In
the District who can work out
sane traffic laws, and with the
courage to enforce them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

and when it is done with the con.
sent Of all parties concerned. The
physician in charge should not
have the whole say-so. There
should be three or four to decide
the issue.
I contend the mere fact Of love,
sentiment and sympathy for the
sufferer should outweigh any
theological, biblical or so-called
scientific assumption. If a doctor
puts an extreme sufferer out Of
his or her misery 1t is no more
wrong than the doctrine Of those
who believe in capital punish
ment. Taking a healthy persons
life and not taking a sufferers
life does not make sense.

EXHAUSTION
END WAR
BY EDWARD HUNTER
ITALIAN ARMY FIELD HEAD

ITALIAN ARMY FIELD HEAD
QUARTERS, NORTH E R N
FRONT, Dec. (Airmailed to
London)-QN.SO.-R disci-
pline is out of date in armies
and the Italo-Ethiopian war
proves it, according to Maj. Gen.
John P. Fuller, expert on mo-
torized and mechanical armies,
who was chief general staff Of
ficer of the British tank corps
in the world war.
General Fuller. only foreign
military man observing the pres
ent conflict, made this statement
to International News Service to-
day and added the more scien-
tific armies become, the better
must be the brain of the private
soldier and the more confidence
must be placed in his initiative.
Need New Outlook
Gall armies need a new out
look on discipline" he empha-
sized. This does not mean
insubordination or license. 1t
does mean, however, that con-
script armies have been out
paced by science, and now are
valuable chiefly as cannon fod-
der and as garrison troops"
General Fuller stressed the
italian handicap of not posses
sing a foreign legion such as
Frances, or a long-Servlce pro
feSsional army such as Eng
lands in India. He pointed out
that France in Madagascar and
Morocco had to train conscrlpt
troops especially for colonial
warfare. England's Indian army,
he said, was brought up on the
technique of mountain warfare.
If his advice we're asked on the
present war, he said, it would be
to pull troops out for training in
this mountain warfare
Private All Right
"The italian private is all right,
he added. I'm many regiments I
have seen as good soldiers as any
in the world"
AS far as Ethiopia is concerned.
he declared, it earned a war repu-
tation far too easily in l895-96.
He said:
"The Negus, instead Of develop
ing guerrilla warfare, which is in
Stinctive in every barbarian, has
attempted to copy European
armies by raising a professional
one.
This idea of a professional
army has caused many of the
rasses to think in terms of masses
In place of individual initiative"
End by Exhaustion
From a military point of view,
General Fuller said that if Italy
does not change it's tactics, the
war will end by exhaustion on one
side or the other He explained:
Late as it is, If Italy were not
to try to create something like
the French Foreign Legion, see
no reason why the war should
not end in the six months succeed
ing the next wet weather, making
l8 months of war in all. The war
now cannot be ended sooner, politi
cal considerations put aside. Italy
missed the bus, as far as ending
things before the next rainy
season"
