Then he has a few brief hours of relaxation with his wife and child—after which he is escorted back to his hotel by a half dozen heavily-armed gunmen. All in ai, you could draw quite a moral out of all this if you cafcd to. It is apparent that Capone entered the gang works because of his ambition. He wanted to make life ezsy for his wife and his son and his aged Italian mother; his life is wrapped up in them, and he does the illegal, violent things he does for the same reason that the ordjnary man works hard at an ordinary job—to make his home secure and comfortable. But the very nature of his work thwarts him. His “business”—if you can call it that—which gives him the money to provide for his family, also prevents him from enjoying family life. He has made himself rich, but he has shut himself out from the things he wants most. ‘Yes, you cquid draw quite a moral out of it all. But, pistols anc Nero, but h. contented, see ‘em at a ‘The perils that dog * 4 ¥eally, Capone isn’t the only man in that sort of fix. { Turn from the underworld to the realm of regular bus- ‘iness and you will find parallels to Capone's course on every hand. A young man marries and enters business. He becomes, say, a salesman. His one ambition is to make things nice for his wife and for the youngsters that begin ap- pearing on the scene. He exists simply for them. So he works his head off in order that he may advance in his business, earn more money and give his loved ones the lvvuries that they will enjoy. What happens? His job takes so much of his time and energy that he has none left for his family. He rises n business, to be sure; by the time he is middle-aged he has a fat salary, a house in the country, three automobiles ard soon. But he'is out of touch with his family. His wife and children are out of his circle. He misses the very things that he worked so hard to get. That isn't an uncommon occurrence. Indeed, in some degree it happens to nearly every ambitious man in the country. We spend so much time making a living that we have:.’t any energy left to devote to living. Al Capone isn’t the only man who has found that you can lose a thing by pursuing it too hard. ELEVATED HIGHWAYS Ground has been broken for New York's first elevated express motor highway, which will be built along the Hudson river waterfront from Canal to Seventy-second street. Mayor Walker but echoed public opinion when he characterized this improvement as one of the most im- Portant in the history of the great metropolis and as the most promising step the city has taken toward coping with its baffling traffic problems. * For many years the elevated motor highway has ap- Peared to be a logical development not only in New York City but in many other American cities. Pittsburgh for many years has possessed two automobile boulevards, carved out of her hillsides, one overlooking the Alle- gheny and the other the Monongahela river. In view of the fact that the new Hudson highway, as the new elevated highway will be known, will have no grade crossings nor local traffic its 30-foot roadways will have an estimated capacity of 5,000 cars an hour at a speed of 35 miles. That capacity will increase as the speed is increased. ‘This and similar no-crossing lanes is a tacit confession that traffic problems are not to be solved by red lights, no-parking signs and police whistles, but only through sweeping physical improvements such as elevated high- ways, parallel highways, separation of fast and slow traf- fic and separation of grades of intersecting highways. ere A REAL ARMAMENT MENACE America has pointed the way to universal peace, but the world has not disarmed. Some nations have limited their armaments, but the armaments scrapped were those likely to be of little use in future wars. ‘There is no limitation on the building of aircraft, which | Br will play the most important part in future conflicts. The United States has a great opportunity to aid not only in the regeneration of European nations but in its own de- fense, by pointing the way whereby civilization in, the future may be saved from destruction. ‘Use of poison gas, the dropping of bombs on defense- Jess cities, should be prohibited by international agree- ft ment, and that pact should be treated as no “scrap of paper.” , ‘When an entire civilian population could easily be en- angered in @ very short time by the use of poison gas, or be exterminated by the dropping of huge bombs from ‘the air, it is necessary, in the interest of humanity, to codify rules governing the use of these weapons. | little room on the highways these days for motor vehicles, that Capone slept with his | there is room for mutual courtesy and that considera- tion for others which is so rare. | Not only docs courtesy and consideration for others | | make driving more pleasant for all but it diminishes the | hazards 0. the road.

It is understood he went out of business just after someone else traced it on a $50,000 check. Every once in a while you see a statesman who thinks he is a leader just because he makes noise enough to at- tract the curious. It must be nice to be rich and have nothing to do but tell reporters that most of our financial troubles are Psychological. Editorial Comment RECLAIMING DESERTS (New Orleans Times Picayune) lead in large irrigation operations.

A DISAPPOINTING ELECTION (New York Times) British general election fortunate. What has happened was deprecated in advance by Ramsay MacDonald him- self. He kept calling for a Labor majority in the house of commons. He declared shat he would not be content with the immense gains in the Labor vote which every- body foresaw, unless they issued in a clear majority which would enable him to form an independent min- istry, not exposed to being voted out of power by a com- bination of the two other parties.
