AROUND THE WORLD

Rakes are not usually found in diplomatic circles but inquiry about this one led to all sorts of things. For those who have lost page 72 out of their geography, we will explain that Albania is across the Adriatic Sea from the heel of Italy and the rake was going to the consulate at Tirana, Albania. Our agent in Albania has not yet reported why the consul wanted a rake shipped from America but perhaps he simply wanted to rake about among the cabbages and tulips.
 Shipping rakes seems to be all a part of life in the State Depart ment. Sometimes they ship shoy- els and washing machines and wash bowls and door jambs. It all grows out of the policy of supply ing our foreign agencies with American goods wherever possi- ble They can be shipped, duty free, to consulates and diplomatic posts.
 We ship rugs to the consulate in Baghdad, which is the very heart of the Persian rug industry. Where necessary supplies can be bought by the consulate from nearby shops, and that is done-except in the case of furniture and house. hold equipment. With few excep- tions these must come from America.

BEGUN IN MARYLAND
Prince Georges Orders Bus Drivers
Arrested and Locked Up for
Violations.

EVANSVILLE, Md, Feb. 1O-War
against speeders and other traffic law
In metropolitan Prince Georges County
today in an effort to cut down the in
creasing traffic toll.
County police were given orders to
arrest "and lock up" all drivers Of
interstate buses arrested for speed
ing along the Washington Baltimore
boulevard. Heretofore. the police have
given such drivers the courtesy of a
summons.
Sergt. Ralph Brown, commandant
of the Hyattsville station, said all
interstate bus drivers must either post
substantial collateral or bond or be
locked up regardless of their pas
sengers. He estimated several hundred
buses passed through Hyattsville daily.
Meantime. Justice of the Peace
William A. Robb announced an inten-
slve campaign against speeders on the
Baltimore boulevard in Cottage City
and Colmar Manor. He said seven
additional police had been appointed
by the two towns to "lie in wait" for
speeders. Corpl. j. F. Blackstone of
the Laurel station of the Maryland
State police also has been assigned
to the Cottage City-Colmar Manor
area to aid in the drive.
Sergt. Brown said his order to the
police was occasioned by the failure
of several interstate bus drivers to
answer the courtesy summons" despite
the urging of company officials
County police have described the
Baltimore boulevard, especially that
section through Hyattsville, Riverdale,
Bladensburg. College Park and Ber-
wyn, as a race track" for interstate
buses as well as other traffic
The police order will mean, it was
explained by Sergt. Brown, that many
passengers will be left sitting in the
bus if the driver is arrested for
speeding.

it's a little funny to hear Wallace

He did so in a recent talk before

Not that I question that they did
in fact, bungle.
But wasn't the initial bungling done
under a Democratic administration
when President Wilson let us into the
World War?
Then it seems to me, was the time
for the then Democratic administers
ton to take steps to p\otect us, if pos
sible, against the impending after
math-instead of breaking into the
conflict. We'd have had a backwasl,
anyway, but it wasn't the Republicans
fault that we went in.
