Morgan said. The existence of a
Supreme Being in whom men
believe and with whom they
may communicate in praise and
worship is not a tenet of the
Ethical Movement. Such a be-
lief is discouraged, if not &C
lively opposed.
Reverence for morality. ethics

no prayer, as that term is gen.
orally understood, in the services

naming ceremonies"
THE Court does not believe
that the singing of even the
hymns are prayer or religious
worship"
Judge Morgan conceded that
some Quakers and Unitarians do
not believe in a Supreme Being
or are Indifferent to such beliefs.
But, he said. "the majority of
them do believe in a Supreme
Being and worship Him"

The etc report showed a net
operating income of $l.961, 672
from January l to August IA,
of which $83,755 was rolled up
during the first two weeks of
August.
These figures were not subject
to income taxes since etc, COM

ton of street railway facilities

from January l to August IA, and
thus showed a net income loss
for the period of $338,073.
Observers pointed out that a
continuation of the August net
operating income for a full year
would give the new company
earnings of some 50 million,
although this would be subject
to Federal and District income
taxes, which would more than
cut it in half.
Mr.. Chalk, however, is exempt
from more than 100000 a year
of District gross receipts taxes,
which CTC had to pay. These
cost etc $306,608 from January
l to August IA.
Those involved in the present
labor negotiations calculated that
So million a year in earnings
would easily provide the 6la per
cent return which Mr.. Chalk S
franchise says he is entitled to
try to make and still leave more
than 81 million before taxes
Using the company'S estimate
that one cent an hour of wage
increase costs 100000, the 81
million figure would cover more
than a 15-cent-an-hour raise.
Mr.. Chalk has offered a three
year labor contract with no wage
increase in the first year, negotia-
tons on a wage increase of UP
to five cents an hour in the
second year, and similar ne
gOtiatiOnS in the third year.

The
Rambler
This Is Where
Tickets Wind Up
By JACK JONAS

The man before the bench
stood there while the police
man reeled off names, dates
and places.
His fingers nervously traced
the filigree along the edge Of
the table in front of him. He
leaned forward earnestly as
if he wanted to break in at
several points.
The policeman was young,
not blase enough to leave out
a description of the automo-
bile and the license numbers
when he testified. But the
judge was patient.
The policeman was wide
eyed, intent. Most of the other
faces in the big room were
glum-the collection of glum
faces which convenes there at
10 am. each weekday, on the
second floor of the Municipal
Court Building.
That's where Traffic Court
is held, and nobody is happy
in Traffic Court. The place it
self is somber, like the faces
dark woods, dim lights, and
routine.

THE MAN before the bar
Of justice on this occasion
seemed to be, as the judge
said, a substantial citizen.
The facts, the policeman re-
lated, were essentially these:
The man had been travelling
SO miles an hour in a IS
mile-an-hour zone beneath a
viaduct at $3.50 o'clock in the
morning. The policeman had
given him a ticket.
It was dark, the man ex-
planned, and he hadn't noticed
he was going that fast.
Well, the judge said, that's
the trouble with a"lot of peo-
ple-they don't notice the
things they're supposed to
watch. The man ought to
have some lights In his car so
he could see what was going
on, the Judge said, scoldingly.
Why did he think they put
speedometers on automobiles?
The man said he didn't in
tend to :.
A good many people don't
intend to do something
they're not supposed to do,
the judge interrupted, but
that's not much of an excuse.
You could almost hear his
thoughts about that road
that's paved with good inten-
tionS.
There were these cars, the
man went on, parked right
near the entrance to the via
duct, and he was trying to
get around them in a hurry
before any cars came the
other way.
That's all the more reason
he ought to be going slow, the
judge told him, if there were
hazards like that.
Another thing, the man
said-by this time his fingers
we're drumming the edge of
the Tablet was so dark he
didn't see the sign that said
this was a 15-mile-an-hour
zone.
He knew the speed limit in
the District is Is miles an
hour, didn't he? And he was
going 38 miles an hour, wasn't
he?
Well, yes, the man admitted
in answer to the judges ques-
tions, he was going a little
fast, but he didn't intend
10
There we go again, the
judge said sternly. Intentions.
He fined the man SIS, told
him to sin no more, and called
for the next case.

AN ASSEMBLY LINE

AN ASSEMBLY LINE
that's what Traffic Court is
like most of the time, except
when the judge breaks in to
admonish an Grant driver.
He'd like to lecture them all,
but he doesn't have time.
Mostly the policeman states
his side of the case, glibly
from practice, and the motor
ist his, more hesitant and I'M
practiced.
And the judge passes sem
tence. The lettered and inlet
tered mingle there before
him, in court because they
didn't notice the speedometer,
or didn't see the red light in
time. Sometimes they don't
care, and the judge is sternest
of all with these.
