MORE TRAFFIC
POLICEMEN
NEED SEEN !,

Fl believe II we really intend
to solve the traffic problem and
drive death from the streets Of
our cities, . larger percentage
Of policemen win have to be de-
tailed to traffic work"
This statement came today from
Representative Randolph Carpen-
ter CD, Of Kansas, chairman OF
the special House District Subcom-
mittee studying the local traffic
problem as q sequel to two days OF
hearings and several trips about
the city to study the problem.
He based his statement also on
information, which he has re-
Gently gathered from so large
cities, showing the total number
Of policemen on each force and
the number assigned to traffic
duty. He said:
TOO FEW POLICE W
"The replies I have received
thus far indicate that In each
instance too few policemen are
devoting their time exclusively
to traffic"
During the course Of the study
his subcommittee is making, the
Kansan will make q special effort
to ascertain whether or not there
are sufficient traffic policemen
on duty In washington.
For several years, Major Ernest
w. Brown, Superintendent Of Po-
lice in the District, has pleaded
for an increase in the appropr1a-
ton so that he could have more
policemen, but he has met with
only minor success.
d. C. Police Lashed
The local police came in for q
severe criticism in . letter re-
ceived today by Representative
Carpenter and the House Dis
trict Committee from William +.

woman, who uses Midoll OF course,
a smart woman will not try every
pill or tablet somebody says is good
for periodic pain. But Midol is
recommended by specialists. 1t can
form no habit because it is not a
narcotic. Taken in time, it often
avoids the pain altogether. But
Midol is effective even when the
pain has caught you unaware and
has reached its height. It's effective
for hours, so two tablets should see
you through your worst day.
You'll find Midol in any drug

John L. Lewis fight to estab-

tenet Is somewhat similar. accord
ing to observers, to the battle put
up against A. FL. conservatives
by Luther C. Steward Of the fSar
tional Federation Of Federal EN-
ployes-which ultimately led to
independence for the Government
group.
While Steward did not advocate
industrial unionism particularly,
the similarity occurs from the
fact that he was opposed on sev.

classification, by craft unions who
have members in the mechanical
branches Of the Government,
while the NFF.E. itself is what
might be termed an industrial
union. Stenos, clerks, account
ants, etc., form its personnel, and
are not split into unions Of their
own.
The N. r. F. E. withdrew from
A. F. l.. affiliation, it was said, be-
cause Of the classification angle,
but its opponents claimed at the
time that the real trouble was be-
cause it wished, and already had
begun, to organize among Gov

If this latter fact be true, the
craft unions fear is easily under
stood. as their dues are three or
four times as high as those Of the
Government organization.

MULES COMING
 TO FR0NT;THEY
 ARE IN DEMAND
Shortages Are Reported Tn Markets Horses
 Also Scarce
By WILLIAM BORING

ATLANTA, Dec. 7-Those who note machinery's advance and count the horse and mule out of the ag- ricultural picture are likely to have a morse laugh" coming from Old Dobbin.
 Figures from the Horse and Mule Association indicate that next Jan- uary 1 the nations farmers, when they begin rounding up work anil mals for another planting season, will find shortages of 174,382 horses and 325,541 mules.
 The associations index shows that only two States-Arizona and Nevada-have enough horse colts two years of age and under to re- place worn out and deceased stock of the past year. All States have mule shortages.
 Demand Soaring
 The dearth is due to the failure to breed mares between 1925 and 1883, period which saw increasing numbers of farmers trading work animals in for mechanical farm equipment.
 Against this situation horse and mule dealers in the Atlanta mar ket, reputedly the worlds largest, report a marked step-up in the demand for the horse and his long cared cousin. A coincident price uptrend also is reported.
 Stockmen cite as an encouraging sign the report of the U. s. Bureau of Husbandry that the last year saw the end of the downward trend in horse and mule colt production.
 Continued increases in production
