HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS

1t has been remarked many times
that the automobile was but a pass
ing fad and that the horse would
eventually come into his own again.
This bit of prophecy seems to be
well on the way to fulfillment in
the announcement that horses and
wagons have been put into service
for newspaper deliveries in Boston.
Offhand, we would say that the
experiment will not be entirely sat
isfactory A horse is a slow NOV
ing animal which gets over the
ground at the rate of about four
miles an hour. A car moving in
city traffic, covers same space in
approximately 10 minutes. Perhaps
this form of transportation is bet
ter than none at all, but there's
striking incongruity in the fact that
part of the nation is being reduc-
ed to move at snail's pace, while
building airplanes which travel 400
to 500 miles an hour.-O. s. Jour-

RED CROSS

Congress should not hesitate to
adopt House Resolution 69l ! recon-
rended by President Roosevelt and
Secretary of State Hull, which would
stop conmercioIizotion Of the name
Red Cross or its emblem.
Since 1905 no commercial exploit
totion Of the name or emblem has been
permitted except by concerns which,
ct that time, we're using them lawfully.
There we're not many Of these. Three,
operating on q national scale, come
to mind. But outside this country even
such limited trading upon the Red
Cross good deeds is not permitted -
even in the axis countries, which have
shown little good taste otherwise.
The bill, now in the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, would allow q year
for firms now comn7ercioIizing the
name or emblem to change over and
fomIiorize customers with q new name
and trade mark. This seems ample.
