At any rate, the Milwaukee road is coming out with a set of new cabooses which apparently are going to be almost as fancy and decorative as observation cars. The cupola will be gone. instead, there will be expansive bay windows at the sides. Instead of being the traditional brick-red in color, the caboose will be painted a silvery aluminum with black trim. Inside, the car will be roomier, airier and far more com- fortable, with such conveniences for the train crew as built-in refrigerator, and leather upholstered side seats which can quickly be converted into beds. All of this no doubt is necessary, and should make for hap- pier train crews and handsomer freight trains. But that old red caboose is a cherished and familiar part of the American4 scene. The country just won't look natural if they take it away from us, no matter how good-looking its replacement may be. ‘ ' Strikes In London During the eary part of this year, when great strikes in the Michigan auto plants were causing a good deal of inconvenience, we were repeatedly told how much superior Britain’s method of handling labor relations is to ours. England, it wes sald, took labor organization for granted, knew how to mediate dis- putes, and so managed to avoid crippling strikes like ours. benefits tional restrictions power welfare.

Slum Housing Rents pinecia That the government's slum clearance is not going to work povkcrtg out quite the way its sponsors had hoped is indicated by news | marked. from Cleveland, where three slum clearance projects are under mee ~ way. A Cleveland newspaper recently started an investigation among the families which had moved out of the slum residences that are being replaced, and discovered that hardly any of them will be occupying the new housing when it is completed. It simply is going to be too expensive for them. Rents will probably run around $6 a room. the typical family living in that section before the clearance programs began could not pos- sibly pay more than $4 a roam.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce J. Monroe Johnson is con- sidering the issuance of such a ban. He explains that while the daring, single-handed flight across the ocean was extremely useful in its day, its day is over now. Aviation no longer needs fliers who can take risks; it needs fliers who will prove that risks don’t need to be taken. ” The. free lance flight over the ocean will always be more ‘or less dangerous. Now it is up to the conservative, highly- | organised commercial air lines to prove that regularly scheduled + ocean flights need not be dangerous. The solo flier has suffered eg 00 48 Sell blesers, The trail he blazed no longer needs Liquor Law Enforcement North Dakota’s leading liquor control problem just now is ear _ the enforcement of laws relating to closing hours. That, at least, is the finding of the Literary Digest after| cial sending 60 observers throughout the nation to report on their findings. They listed law violations seen, these running all the way from sales to minors to cheating the clock. That the laws should be strictly enforced all will agree. Persons in the liquor business should insist upon it most stren- tee wously as a protection to their business. But if there must be violation, North Dakotans have | Chosen the leaser of two evils.

KENT Nearly everybody in more definitely toward is 50 capacious that he has been able to swallow every New Deal nostrum without so much as @ gulp. Senator ; | Barclay intimated that the reason Mr. Vandenberg brought these things up on the senate floor instead of taking them up with the department was because there was “no publicity” in the latter course. This is a cheap sneer, typical of the New Deal disposi- e | tlon to reply to every criticism with ® personal slur. Why shouldn't Senator Vandenberg seek publicity for these facts? Isn't .| 16 his duty to make them public? If this sort of thing is to be done with the people’s money, the people are en- uy, | titled to know about it. What sort of ..| senator is it who wants these things treated without publicity, hidden, not talked about or printed? It is easy to understand that Mr, Wallace, dream- ing about his “new world,” should not know ebout such sordid details, but ;.| this loose lavishness with public funds ought to interest every taxpayer. Mr. Vandenberg did not charge that such absurd distribution was the general Practice. He did make the suggestion that the department put its adminis- trative processes through the laundry. That seems reasonable, but perhaps it,is too much to expect of these architectural designers of the new universe, 3 Int att tbe wi A i i i err che l E F rc ; i q 3 t 3 = li BE EE He Rese sg Ear reel ih i zeesge9 clEEE zbeee E ar fe 7 £ fl ne 3 cl a pesrged a Touched, perhaps, by the anti- burlesque epidemic, Detroit police arrested a man for using a siren on his truck. | . i $ : | gig BE 3 raid to Love The strange story of a’ woman who ran away from love and found it; and of another who sought love, only to lose it.
