National Defense Program

If you hired a man to do a GER
tain job and he failed to do it, you
probably would not trust him with
a larger and more important task.
The present New Deal administra-
ton is in exactly that situation with
regard to national defense.
In the last seven and one half
years, approximately six billion dol
lars has been expended, under New
Deal direction, on national defense,
yet now that administration publicly
admits the United States has only a
pitifully small supply of tanks.
planes, unti.aircraft guns and mu-
nitions.
That being the case, the question,
naturally arises as to where the six
billion dollars went, and why we
haven't much to show for our mo-
hey. Our present virtually defense
less position certainly is proof that
the New Deal has failed miserably

For years Congress has been be-

Govt. in anything always more.
And our highways are crowded with

So far as l can see into the crystal
ball, she looks like less and less for
the ordinary person to do. and more
and more for the Cow, and unless
you are 10 politics, the day is in the
effing when you will be on a limb
unless you get elected to some
thing. But there is one dubious an
gle about every body working for the
Govt. l cannot savvy who will
then furnish the free gas-or even
make tor if there will be any.
These same feIlers there on the
banks of the Potomac, who have
been getting us into the mire for
years versus getting US out. they are

about getting us into war. II we

There was silence. Sheila felt
uncomfortable. The tender, father

Talking comfortably, she went

sion of big, dark, richly furnished
rooms toward a dining-room and
into bright clean pantry beyond
it. And here, true to her promise,
Mamie had indeed arranged meal
of coffee and salad, little baked
| custard, chocolate eclair.
Sheila, who had dined heartily on
fish-balls and prune shortcake only
an hour before, realized wretchedly
that she must appear to be raven
Gus. When providentially Mrs. Nc
Cam and Mamie left the pantry for
few minutes, she seized the oppor-
tinity to pour the custard and the
coffee down the sink drain, and bury
most of the salad in the little white
enamel-ware garbage tin that was
already half filled with dead flowers
and lemon peels. She was eating
the eclair when they returned.
They had with them heavy soft,
dark-blue coat with a fur collar
the coat of any girls dreams, and a
small, soft blue hat.

Stranger Vas Quick to

The clergyman in a wayside
church out of London was about
to start his sermon when three
strangers entered.
They were late and very con-
scious of it. One of them found
a seat near the door, but the
other two had to walk further up.
At that moment the preacher
was finishing the announcement
of his text: "-and Paul I know,
but who are ye?'
The young men paused for a
moment, looked bewildered, then
one of them spoke up. "Glad to
have the pleasure, Reverence" he
said. "This is Harry MacTavish

Macpherson, from Edinburgh, too.

Up 10 Noon Today
For Using Dead Tags
18-Hour Parking Law
Threatens Motorists
Without 1910 Plates

Despite the absolute deadInes
for 1889 District tags set for am.
today, police had picked up only II
motorists for operating on dead
tags" shortly before noon.
These motorists were required to
post $40 collateral on the charge,
after which they had the alterna-
tive of obtaining the new 1910 tags
and driving away from the precinct,
in cases where the automobiles had
been taken there, or paying to have
the cars towed away.
Other phases of the dead tag situa.
tion became somewhat complicated,
police having no right to pick up
an automobile just because 1t Is
parked with dead tags.
However, Inspector William E.
Holmes Of the Traffic Bureau ex.
planned any automobile parked more
than the 18-hour limit can be
picked up and towed to precinct
stations.
Accordingly owners of automobiles
towed to precinct stations with the
ucdu tdSS WOulu lace tHe usual
penalty of putting up IS for release
of the automobile. after which they
would need new 1910 tags in order
to drive them away
The original "deadline' for 1889
tags was last midnight. The hour
later was moved up to a m. today.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer this morning said that some
10000 motorists had obtained 1910
tags, about 1900 more than had tags
Immediately after the deadline last
year. Mr. Van Duzer estimated,
that between 5000 and 1000 auto
mobiles in the District were still
equipped with the old tags up to
this morning.
OF the II motorists arrested for
operating on expired license plates,
four were arrested in No 8 precinct,
which led all others in the number
of arrests for the violation. Number
3 precinct, which reported three
cases was second in number of
arrests. No arrests had been made
by policemen of the Traffic Division.

An autopsy was performed on the

DR.. Mcdonald set the time of

weeks ago marked the time of the
murder. Mrs. Howard was last seen
