Railway Express
Gets Rate Rise
BY the Associated Press

The Interstate Com merce
Commission today authorized
the Railway Express Agency
to further increase rates on
most small quantity express
shipments in the East by II
per cent.
ICC said it had acted to help
Eastern railroads ease passenger
service deficits: Express business
is considered part Of passenger
service,
The increases may be made
effective on IS days notice to
the public. Those specifically
exempted are fresh fish, other
sea food. flowers and watercress,
on which there is sharp COM
petition between Eastern and
Southern producers.
Railway Express said it was
satisfied with the current rates
on milk and cream, newspapers
and human remains, which will
not be affected by the further
advance.
The agency sought a Is per
cent increase for the East on
less-than-carload Shipments last
August. The commission grant.
ed a nationwide 4 per cent in
crease on express shipments in
late December.
In granting another IL per
cent advance in the East, the
commission said it could be con-
servatively expected that the
agency would lose perhaps 1914
per cent of its small quantity
business to other forms Of trans
portation.
Present express rates are uni
form throughout the country.
The ICC said this had penalized
the Eastern operation. which has
from 8 to Is per cent higher
handling costs than other parts
|of the country.
More than half of all express
business is handled north Of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers and
east Of the Mississippi.

Grove Adopts
Interim Rule
On Housing

An interim ordinance limiting
new construction and alteration
of existing houses to one-family
dwelling units was approved
Monday night by the mayor and
council of Washington Grove,
meeting in special session.
The ordinance will become eff.
fective after it is signed by all
council members and is published
IN accordance with legal require
nentS.
The regulation was recommend
ed by the planning commission
at the annual town meeting in
July as a method of preventing
development of multi-family
dwellings pending adoption of a
master plan which would prohib-
it such development.
Citizens of Washington Grove
instructed the council at that
session to draft such a regulation.
The new ruling provides for con-
tinuance of non-conforming use.

Heads Will Roll

When you make mistake. face
up to it like man and admit it.
That's our motto.
So right here and now we want
TO face up to a mistake we made
In last weeks paper. Bear with
us.
You may have noticed the story
on page A-3 about "BeaStly Con-
clusions," the book of verse pub
lished by Alexander K. Hancock,
county fiscal director. In it we re-
ported some of Hancock's poetic
efforts and mentioned that the
profusion of illustrations accom-
panying the verse had been done
"skillfully' by Ruth Ellsworth, an
employe of the county attorneys
office.
This week, the attractive artist
came to the office to inform us
we'd made a serious mistake. We
referred to one of her drawings
as being the skull of a unicorn.
ut isn't a unicorn at ALL" she
said, indignantly. Everybody
knows the unicorn is only an
imaginary beast. So how could it
have a skull? 1 don't want the
public to think I'm stupid. 1 did
lot of research on my draw
ings."
We realized with sinking feel
ing we had blundered. We had
been stupid. Nothing to do but
correct the mistake in next weeks
issue. 1t was too late to stop the
presses. So now we state, for
mally and officially that the mis-
referred-to drawing is NOT a uni
corn. 1t is a Saurian.
THE saurian," Ruth Ellsworth

told us emphatically, sis an ex-
tinct, prehistoric monster SINH
lar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
And that is what my drawing is"
Sure enough! She's right as
rain! The dictionary says the
unicorn is "a fabulous animal
with a single long horn, said to
elude every captor save a virgin,
and seldom caught"
Shame-facedly, we admit our
stupidity.

He didn't need to be in water.

Eventually, the fish became quite
a conversationalist.
One summer the boy and the
fish were taking a walk in the
country and they crossed an old
wooden bridge that had a plank
missing. The fish didn't see the
missing plank until too late. He
fell through the hole to the creek
below and drowned. The boy tried
artificial respiration but it didn't
work. Poor fish!

In the story of The Good
Woman of Setzuan (Bertolt)
Brecht shows how difficult it is
to be good and happy at the
same time" says Brooks Atkin-
son in a recent review Of the
Brecht play.
Well, however that may be,
there is one thing certain-it is
impossible to be bad and happy
at the same time. Maybe it's
time somebody wrote a play
showing that.
The truth probably is that none
of US is completely happy be-
cause none of us is completely
good.
Jesus said, If We know these
things, happy are ye if We do
them" But how many of us do
them-all Of them-all of the
time? The difficulty is in the
being good--not in the being
happy as a consequence of being
good.
