that buses do not pull to the curb
for passengers. This happens be-
cause the city permits automobiles
to park in bus stops, and II you
think am wrong, just tour over
the city where there are bus stops.
Another difficulty is the fact
that trucks and automobiles are
permitted to double park. Why
don't they have certain hours for
making deliveries, preferably not
during the rush hours.
I wish to point out one more
thing. Just tour on Thirteenth
Street southbound from G to F
Streets and see If it is possible for
bus to get to the curb to take

'be passing a grocery store IN the
downtown area and I was obliged
to stop in the midst Of a crowd Of
people. A little boy Of perhaps 5
years of age was crying loudly.
Another boy of the same age was
with him.
It seems one Of the men from
the store caught these little boys
stealing cakes from within and
scolded the boy who was crying.
Several people gave pennies to
the little fellow to stop his cry
ing. spoke to him and told him
kindly that he must never take
what belonged to someone else,
because, if he did, I said, he would
some day be put in jail for steal
ing.
And, to my way of thinking,
this is the very beginning Of thiev-
cry. This boy belongs to very poor
people, who evidently teach him
nothing, and so he may end his
life in Jail if such tricks Of steal
ing continue.
The child said he was hungry,
and he looked it. 1t seems this
should be looked after by the
Child Welfare Board.

Not More Regulations
But More Police Needed
10 THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES:

70 THE EDITOR OF THE TINES:
I wonder why the District
Commissioners do not meet the
traffic situation face to face.
Every day they propose new laws,
enact new regulations and vow
that this and that will be a
benefit to local conditions.
They are now talking Of put
ting q ban on horn blowing from
the hours Of IL p. m. to q. m.
The present regulations are Suffi-
Gent, If they were enforced, and
there is no need of endangering
lives and property with such q
strict rule.
Emergencies can happen be-
tween the hours of IL p. m. and
2 a. m, but the Commissioners
will probably be at home safe
and sound. So why bother about
us poor people who have to be
out at the late and early hours
Of the day!
Commissioner Allen has sug-
geSted q ban on downtown park
ing, but to me it would seem
more logical to do away with
double parking first.
Heavy traffic is here and will
stay. So why not give Major
Brown some more policemen to
use at the traffic-jammed inter
sections? A BUS OPERATOR.

MORE AVIAT0RS
ASKED BY DUCE

ROME, Jan. omplet-
ing the strongest air mobilization
in Italy's history, Premier Musso-
Ini last night ordered 1900 re-
serve pilots to report for immedi-
ate service.
This call to the colors makes
certain that Italy's air armada
estimated to total 5000 planes
will be fully manned against any
eventuality in the Mediterranean
where Anglo-Italian tension Is
again increasing.
The flying men called to service
swell the ranks Of the 1900 avia-
ton specialists summoned to duty
last week. OF these 1,100 are
traine d machine gunners and
bomberS.
Meanwhile, MuSsolini turned his
attention to cash and oil, the one
to buy needed military equipment
and other supplies, the other to
fuel the parade Of his flying and
motorized army across Ethiopia.
His mind was occupied with these
problems, but not to the exclusion
Of the growing tension between
italy and Britain.

Of Huey P. Long, Of Louisiana,

The desk was assigned to Gore

ENDS DEBATE

QUEBEC, Que, Jan. 3 U.N.S).
Didier Fougere, II, hardy. one
legged fisherman who continued
to breathe" for IL days after he
was pronounced dead officially,
was buried today in the Magdalen
Islands. His burial ended one Of
the strangest controversies on rec
ord in Canada.
Relatives Of the man fought
burial for II days on the grounds
that his breath still clouded a
mirror. They declared he failed
to show some of the characteristic
signs of death and maintained he
was still alive.
After two medical verdicts In
sisted the man was dead, the at
torney generals office dispatched
a coroner to the islands Wednes-
day to end the controversy. The
coroner confirmed the death. but
said the relatives were still un-
convinced. He was instructed to
delay the burial.
Today, however, rigor norris set
in and the relatives gave up the
fight. The funeral. planned since
