BROOKLYN Wins

Washington knows how Brooklyn
feels about the victory of the Dodgers
in the neck-and-neck National
League race for the baseball pen
nant. For, 10, these many years the
Brooklynites have been the butt of
jibes about the perennially low sta
ton of their team. Now the unbe-
lievable has happened. The lowly
has become great, "Lippy" Durocher
has something really to lip about and
all Brooklyn is wild. That is, wilder
than usual. 1t was somewhat like
that in Washington when our strug-
Cling Senators finally won a pennant
back in 1924, showing concluSively
that such things can happen here.
Fandom will shed a tear, withal,
for the courageous ST. Louis Card
inalS, who did not give up the
fight until the last percentage hope
had f1ickered out. The world series
battle now will be waged between
the Dodgers and the New York
Yankees, who do not seem to know
how to place anywhere but first in the
American League. Thus, the big
contest will be a strictly intra- urban
affair. Anyway one looks at 1t, New
York cannot lose.

Fringe Parking

The proposed bill to create Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency for the Dis
trict would provide the Commission
ers with authority to take the initial
steps in carrying out one OF the
more interesting and promising
recommendations of the Whitehurst
traffic report of last April-that for
{ establishment of public parking
facilities on the fringe of the down.
town section. In his study of WASH
ington's parking problems, Captain
WhitehurSt found that of $4,000
legal on-street and off-street parking
spaces available in the central part
of the city, 25,500 are taken by all
day parkers, most of whom work
in governmental offices; that there
would be many more all-day parkers
If spaces were to be had; that ap-
proximately half of the existing
parking lots in the business district
are of temporary nature, occupying
sites steadily being encroached upon
by new buildings, and that private
enterprise does not find it profitable
to provide parking facilities down.
town for all-day parkers.
With this general picture of the
situation before him, the highway
director reached the conclusion that
the best solution of the all-day
parking problem was to create a
series of low-price, municipally-op-
Grated parking lots or garages on the
outskirts of the congeSted area,
where space is not so much at a
premium. Each of these lots would
have capacity for from 400 to 500
automobiles and would be served by
q five-cent-fare shuttle bus line, op-
Grating in the morning and evening
rush hours between the parking CEN
ters and the principal Federal de-
partments. A nominal parking fee
Of ten or fifteen cents per day has
been suggested.
In espousing the Whitehurst pro-
posal, the Commissioners have recog-
nized that the problem of finding
parking space no longer concerns the
individual motorist alone, but is a
matter in which the municipality
and the Federal Government have
interest, Inadequate parking &C
commodations have caused serious
inconvenience to the War and Navy
Departments in the present emer-
gency prompting ill-advised sugges-
tions for use of park areas, including
the Monument Grounds, for storage
OF cars. And until provision is made
for adequate off-street parking facil-
tiles, it is almost impossible to take
the steps that long ago should have
been taken in eliminating parking
from the streets and the public
parks. The Whitehurst fringe park
ing plan offers sensible approach
to the problem Of getting people to
and from work and at the same time
eliminating much of the intolerable
congestion in the heart of the city.

In the salt marshes east and west
of New York City they are the most
common swallow in August.
In September the large tree swallow
flocks mix with the oncoming f1ocks OF
bank. barn and cliff swallows, but these
other species pass on to the South from
the Northern States early in october,
leaving the tree swallow to the last.
They in turn go South few hundred

According to one authority, "the song
is hardly more than chatter. Its
ordinary notes are less sharp and rapid
than those of the barn swallow"

called the field martin, the bee martin,
the bee bird and the tyrant f1ycatcher.
The last comes from its scientific name
of Tyrannus tyrannus, name which

Bishop CundIer

A truly great American departed
this world when Bishop Warren Akin
Gambler of Atlanta was gathered to
his fathers. He was eighty-four
when he came to the end of his days,
yet his powers of mind and spirit
were not exhausted. Even when time
had slowed his step and dimmed his
eye, he continued to advance from
strength to strength as a prophet
of His Lord. The last of his career
perhaps was the best. He gratefully
thought it so.
Bishop Gambler might have been
eminent in any field of human enter
prise. His capacity for logic would
have insured his success at the bar.
If he had wished. he could have made
his mark in national politics. But it
was his conscious and deliberate
choice to serve the church. The
endowment of intelligence and zeal
which he brought to his work was
not eXcelled by any contemporary in
Southern Methodism. He began to
preach as boy, was junior circuit
rider at nineteen, presiding elder
at twenty-three. Travelling on horse
back over mountain trails and
through still more difficult swampy
lowlands, he carried the Gospel to
a people whom y he loved with a
profound devotion. His pattern of
evangelism was that of the tradi-
tional model established by the
Wesleys. He exhorted his congrega-
tions, appealed to their reason with

messengers were robbed on a route
they had been following for three
months. During this time the
bandits had plenty of opportunity
to become thoroughly acquainted
with this routine. Their plans evi-
IDENTIFY were well laid. 1t may be
some little time, however, before
their coup can be considered entirely
successful, as witness this conclud-
ing sentence in the F. B. I. report
covering bank robberies in 1910:
"Eightyfour fugitive bank robbers
were located during the year, in
cluding the last of the three par
ticipants in the first robbery of a
national bank after the passage of
the National Bank Robbery Act"

Bank Robbery

The $53 900 bank robbery at Hyatts-
vile serves to draw attention to the
infrequency with which this type of
crime now figures in the public
prints. increasingly severe Federal
legislation and energetic co-opera-
ton between Federal and State
officers have combined to make bank
banditry one of the more hazardous
occupations.
After wave of robberies in 1882,
the National Bank Robbery Act was
passed in May, 1884, and the robbery
or attempted robbery of national
bank or member of the Federal
Reserve System became a Federal
offense. Successive amendments in
1885 and 1887 extended the coVerage
to banks insured by the Federal De-
posite Insurance Corporation and
Government chartered banks in
sured by the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation, and
also broadened the law to reach lar
cenies or burglarieS of the enum-
Grated types of banks. AS result,
thousands of institutions have been
given additional protection.
The resultant increase in effec-
tiveneSs of law enforcement in this
field is illustrated graphically by
statistics for the period. From the
passage of the act until June 80,
last, the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation had investigated BIO rob-
berries and obtained $50 convic-
tions in Federal courts. Two death
penalties, fourteen life sentences,
prison terms aggregating nearly
10000 years and approximately
100000 in fines were the net pro-
ceedS in these cases. State court
convictions numbered 253, with eight
death and thirty life sentences
topping the penalties, which like
wise included steep fines and prison
terms. In the wake of this vigorous
warfare by the Federal and State
authorities, bank robberies have de-
creased by 80 per cent.

careful planning. The two youthful

as the white-breasted swallow the blue

low, the stump swallow and the cave
swallow.
Chester Reed. in his bird guide, says:
These swallows are abundant about
farmyards. Except when they are skim

at higher elevations than barn swallows.
When weary they roost on dead twigs OF
