Obviously. this bridge, running
along the boundary line between

crossing Federal waters exclusively, is
OF importance to thousands Of people

cations from oficials of the Fairfax

the Washington Board of Trade, which
urge . wider bridge to accommodate
more than the present two lanes Of

THE decision of the Court of Ap-

either simultaneously or in succession,
with the trial of a multitude of similar
suits brought for common purpose,
without permitting the lower court to

court in one suit which promises to

CATION or at least obviate the necessity
of long and protracted trials and sue

court from adopting procedure which
will conserve much time. labor and ex-
pense. even though such procedure is
attended by appropriate safeguards
calculated to protect the substantive
rights Of all litigants. The decision of
the Court of Appeals makes it i'm
possible for the Government, or any
other defendant against whom SUBJ
stantially similar actions have been
brought by different plaintiffs, to
avoid preparing and trying a multi
plicity OF almost identical suits, al
though the trial of one fairly repre-

The petition then went on to cite

the Appeals Court.
No action on the petition can be
taken until the October term of the

WICKED NOTE.
MEMBERS of the Potomac Ap-
N palachian Trail Club are chuck
ling over a mimeographed bulletin
which gave a supposititious interview
with M. H. Avery, president of the
club, concerning "the light that failed"
at the Pine Grove Furnace Shelter.
This literary effort was inspired by
report that some of the lanterns in
the shelter were without wicks and,
while not signed by the writer. the
chairman of the Shelters Committee
does not deny the authorship.
Mr.. Avery is quoted as saying:
Those who sit in darkness await
more light which it is hoped will not
reflect to the discredit of the Shelter
Committee. It's up to the committee
to supply the illuminating details.
Recalling the impeccable reputation,
the exemplary character and the zeal
Gus righteousness of the chairman of
that committee and his solicitude for
the moral as well as the material
welfare of the shelters, it is not i'm
probable that the apparent shortcom-
ing regarding this lantern wick is part
of deliberate plan to Danish even

their probably vicious and contami-

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LocUSTS AND GREEN APPLES

A report from Washington City tells of the
plight of many young birds which, unable to re-
strain their appetite, have been feasting freely
upon locusts since those visitors awoke from their
17-year sleep which rivals that of Rip Van Wrinkle
Persons discovering the fledglngs lying on their
backs with eyes closed thought them dead until
scientists made an examination and declared themi
to be the victims of gluttony. The pubic was warn
ed that if the birds were protected from cats ana
boys and other predatory creatures they would re-
cover and take up life where they left on when
they became super-charged with the July flies. 1t
was pointed out that the old birds were too wise to
ship too large cargo of locusts and thus escaped
violent attacks of tummy ache.
Little birds are like little boys and girls and To-
Gusts may be fkened to green apples which nave
tied many children in knots and sent them bowling
to parents for relief Thirty or forty years ago a
poem was written and set to music which related
the sad end of johnny Jones and his sister Sue VINO
partook of the "peach of emerald hue" which they
espied when walking through the orchard.
1t should be explained to those who do not know
from experience that green peaches, as well as
green apples, have been the real cause of more
troubl than that tabled apple in the Garden OF
Eden. When John took bite and Sue took
chew of the peach of emerald hue the trouble be-
gan to brew trouble the doctor couldn't subdue
and they buried Johnny Jones and his sister Sue
out on the hill where the daisies grew, according
to the old ballad.
The story of the young birds and the locusts' and
that of green peaches and apples and kids probably
explains the luck of some fishermen, of most fish
ermen Grown-ups, whether persons, birds or hsh'
are careful OF their diet and thereby escape much
trouble That probably is the reason fishermen
easily take the young fish while the old ones are
hard to catch Little fish, like little boys and little
birds, are gluttons Their elders are more careful
And this story is told for the enlightenment OF
those modern Nimrods who wonder why the bass
and Dream they catch do not measure up to the
game warden's requirements and have to be tossed
back into the stream, while the fishermen are
obliged to stop at the fish market on their way
home in order to save their faces-Spartanourg
