Deserved The Pay

A New York window washer was told
to report for work at 7 o'clock in the
morning. He says he had to wait As
minutes for the office to be opened. He
demanded pay for this time, which was
refused.
When he pushed" the employer and
started away from the job, the employer
took after hip, blowing a police whistle,
and the chase was on. In court, the
magistrate reduced the assault charge
to disorderly conduct and suspended
sentence.
The window washer did not get the
extra pay. He should have received it.

One Marriott The Force

Arrest of a Wilmington policeman for
robbing a store is as deeply regretted
by Wilmington's honest policemen as
by Chief Casteen and the city's resi-
dents. Dismissal from the force was an
immediate step. Prosecution in the court
will follow.
AS the officer has made a confess
sion he is to be treated, as the chief
says, merely as another defendant" In
such a case there can be no leniency. On
the contrary, as the mar was sworn to
protect life and property of the citizens,
his punishment may be expected to be
severe.
The Wilmington police force has been
singularly free from dishonest members.
While other departments, especially the
great metropolitan c%enters, have upon
occasions been shot through with graft,
outright thieving and %connivance with
criminals, the record Of the department
here has shown few stains. Naturally
the remaining members resent the fact
that any one on the force should violate
his oath, as it casts an undeserved re-
Election on them all.
It is to be remembered that it is not
the police force, but an oUtcast from it,
who faces trial.

Multiple Transportation

The most compelling argument in
favor of laws which would permit uni
fication of the nations transportation
system, is the public interest. Colonel
J. Monroe Johnson, director of the Of
flee of Defense Transportation, touched
on this when he said: "The iustifica-
ton OF any transportation system lies
80. in it's service to the public. Unifica-
ton must ultimately and properly
be adjudged upon the basis of it's DOS
sible public service rather than in the
light of its effect upon the number of
separate operating units of some par
tlcular type of transport"
The essence of unified TRANSPORTATION
is to permit any agency of transport TO
utilize whatever kind of carrier is best
suited to the desires and needs of the
shipper. A railroad, for example.
should be allowed to operate air and
truck lines if by so doing it could rem
der better service. The air and truck
lines, on the other hand, should be al
lowed to enter the field of t~ransporta-
ton by rail. All carriers would be requ-
lated by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which would protect both the
public and the competing carriers from
monopolistic or unfair practices.
At the present time laws, regulations
and policies stand in the way of the
operation of multiple-type transporta-
ton systems. AS a result, transporta-
ton coordination is now impossible e
cept to a limited degree-as in the use
of motor vehicles by railroads to make
door-to-door delivery of some classes OF
freight.
Coordination, therefore, must be pre-.
-eded by enabling legislation passed by
Congress. If that is done, the way will
be paved for providing the public with

THE CROSS WITH CROssLETs
BY WILLIAM T, l. l.

Far up on the upper Tigris
River, at Diarbekir = which once
was called Amida, a center of
Early Church activity once Sc
cured from a native a unique scar
alb that had been turned up by a
farmers pillow. To me the value
Of the scarab lay in the fact that
1t bore on its face the Jerusalem
Cross, which is a cross with cross
lets between the arm. That it was
otherwise a scarab indicated that
it far antedated the Crusades, dis
proving the common appellation of
this form as The Crusaders
Cross
That Jerusalem Cross has been
a comfort and stimulus. It's an
clent symbolism was of the five
wounds of Christ. But to me it
means that my little crosses are
EMBODIED within the Cross Of
Christ. Within the embrace of His
supreme sacrifice, naught that 1
may suffer can seem other than
small.
To Thy Cross, O Saviour. we
fly for refuge. When tempted to
murmur under our crosses, may
we remember that we are en-
braced within the arms of Thy
great Cross. Amen.

NATURE HAS FILLED THIS
WORLD TO OVERLOOKING

So there is life everywhere. Be-
sides men, women and children,
nature has many workmen, great
and small, to carry on the work of
the world.
We shall read of their wonder
full ways. We shall see that all
these animals, reptiles. birds, fish
es and insects belong to one great
family; and how, though they seem
so different, they all resemble one
another in some ways.
There have not always been the
same sort of animals on the earth
as now. Once upon a time, long be-
fore human life began, the impor-
tant living creatures were strange
and monstrous ones such as we see
in u pictures. Some were so big
that they could eat off the top
branches of tall trees; some flew
and others swan. Eventually,
