Faces Jail Sentence, al
though First Offender;
Drastic Action Used

was struck by the car Wasky was
driving.

c. Guilfoile informed the court the
accused had no police record and
that he was working only about
two days a week. Galipeau took
the stand to definitely state that
the accused was driving under the
Influence. He added that Wasky
said he would pay for the damage
done to Galipeau's car.

sented to court this morning. Mrs

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

never to let on that any anecdote
you tell him Is funny.
You may have heard him roar with
laughter a. very poor yarn told him
by the boss, but when he stops to
listen to your really good tale he Is
very critical and positively doesn't see
a thing funny in 1t.
Perhaps he may smile tepidly, but
not for worlds, evidently, will he admit
that what you tell him is worth
hearing.
Then there is the very busy man.
He is so terribly busy, in truth, that
he scarce can find time to permit you
to intrude a thought.
He Is plainly Of the opinion that
little you could say could be worth
his hearing. but out of politeness'
sake he will stop, II you will make 1t
brief.
When he has thus put you at a
very great disadvantage and insured
that you do not do yourself justice,
he blandly says to himself. "Ah, !
knew it!"
You can hear him saying It to
himself as plainly as if his lips moved.
X Il +
Another person most difficult to
talk to Is he who has a speciality.
People with causes" with axes
to grind, people who are possessed OF
the great "single-track miRd," what
ever the cause, are mostly persons
most of us find rather hard to en-
gage in everyday conversation.
While it may be admitted that in
this class come some very splendid
specimens, in the main they are diff
flcult to talk to. because they do all
the talking!
While from one standpoint such a
person is easy to engage in talk. since
he may be permitted to do it all. a
monologue of this character is rather
wearying, in the last analysis.
Orators, as a class, are tiresome.
Those who "reminisce" are worse
They 60 into too much detail. The
difficulty in talking to them comes
in sidetracking them at all.
Il 4 r
The so-called stuffed shirt" Is an
other person many find hard to
talk to.
He may or may not be conceited
but either way he is difficult man
to solve, in the conversational way
He may be aboard a public vehicle
and you try a chance remark in his
direction, to the effect that it Is Q
beautiful day.
He fails to reply.
His air says plainly enough, "Who
are you, my dear sir? Let us permit
the day to take care of itself. and dc
We mind our own business. severally
and individually"
Those who simply won't listen come
within our present scope.
Many find these the most diff
cult of all. Others have trouble with
sentimentalists, others with intensely
conceited, egotistical persons. These,
however. tend to merge. One may
never know exactly about them.
The shy person offers real trouble to
some, yet sften enough a little draw
ing out" will prove that the shy one is
not shy at all. get him or her on a
congenial topic.
The solution Of all these problems
lies in tact.
But who. after all, is the tactful
person?

Balance of British Budget

explains the New Haven Journal
Courier. while the Hutchinson (Kans)
News points out that with the same

Nashville CTenn) Banner says: 1.-THE
new schedule Is described as q poor

reductions that will especially help
those whose incomes are less than

the families in the country fall within
this category, the wide diffusion of
the benefits under the new budget
is evident. The tax reductions for
those whose incomes exceed $2,500
a year are small. For single person
with 2.425 the new tax is to be 1929.

Irish are valid enough to be entitled

Irish are valid enough to be entitled
to greater acknowledgment than they
customarily have received. The logic
of his contention is sound, and the
basis of his argument is reliable
history. Iceland, as he insists, is a
portion OF the geographical West, and
when Europeans had reached 1t they
were we'll within the range Of ocular
acquaintance with the chain of
neighboring islands leading to the
mainland-it is possible to see from
one stepping stone to another in
clear weather.
And the Morse adventures did find
a Christian community in Iceland
when they first arrived there. The
monk Dicuil, in his "De Mensura
Orbis Terrae," written about 825
A. D.. reports that the territory was
settled by pilgrims from ireland prior
to 795; and Are Erode, the original
Icelandic historian, in his "Islending-
abok," testifies that the Norsemen
found Christian men there whom
they called papa but they soon left
be cause they did not wish to dwell
among the heathens." Gjerset ex-
plains:
They left Irish books, bells and cro-
SierS, from which one must Judge that
they were Irish. The "Landnamabok"
also mentions these Irish monks, and
the name Of the Island of Papey, of
the east coast, still brings to memory
their stay in Iceland.
People from Norway, according to
Are Erode, appeared in 870, and peo-
pie from Sweden, according to the
Historic Norwegiae" and other rec
ords, somewhat later. There was a
central parliament for all Iceland in
$50, Christianity was adopted in 1000,
no less than eleven monasteries-each
a center of learning and culture
were established during the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries, and political
union with Norway was effected in
1862. From the last date onward the
chronicle Is unquestioned And CO.
lumbus did not sail from Palos until
August 3, 1892.
The map holds the key to a COM
prehension of the mystery. Study Of
it will support DR.. Stefansson. The
Western World is nearer to Ireland
than to Spain, and the significance of
that fact merits attention.

Association Indorses
Scott for Judgeship

To the Editor Of The Star:
From the tenor and tone OF arti-
cles in The Star. it sounds as though
there are no other colored lawyers
in Washington except Judge Cobb
competent to be a municipal judge
One writer referred to the position as
insignificant, and so infinitesimal that
the President should not rate the
position as political one just for the
sake Of keeping the incumbent In
Office.
No one denies that Judge Cobb has
not made good judge, but can we
not presume that there are other
lawyers, who, II given an opportunity
would make just as good a Judge OF
perhaps better? We believe The Eve
ming Star to be fair and impartial tc
any one. But it does seem from re-
cent editorial in The Star that q
great calamity would befall the peo-
pie Of Washington If Cobb were not
reappointed. We strongly believe in
the old adage: ITO the victor belongs
the spoils" when competent victors
can be found.
Judge Cobb has held the position
for nine years and has rendered faith.
full service as a Republican. And now
there is a Democratic candidate that
we know is well qualified for the
position.
Mr.. Almond w. Scott has lived ir
Washington for more than 80 year.
and recently he was the victim Of un.
warranted and unfounded charges
charging him with inciting the Viii.
mington riot. an incident he had moth.
ing to do with. He has in his possession
many kilograms and letters from som,
OF the leading and best-known fam
lilies in the City of Wilmington exon
Grating him to the limit. Mr.. Scot
has proven himself to be a good law
yer, a good citizen, a good neighbor
good churchman, father and hus
band, and upon such record tn,
Association Of North Carolinians in.
dorses him for municipal Judge 10t
