' ~ — A QUEER GERMANY Descriptions of Germany today are It is| said that there are American “rubber- | neck wagons' presided over by an-| nouncers who point out the residence | of President Ebert a§ the German | White House—at which characteriza- | incidentally, Americans shudder | —and who speak English as well as | German. The description of Unter den | Linden is pathetic, not because there is any special admiration for anything essentially German, but because there any long-established institution. It has become, it is said, a "‘board walk" for tourists, many of whom are peo- ple who speak English with a Ger- man accent and who do not find things | there at all to their satisfaction. At present the shoe of fearing lhall become Germanized | seems to be on the other foot and there is more danger that Germany is in danger of becoming tainted with unpleasant characteristics which are | complained of in America. Probably a great source of income to individpals comes from these tourists, and as in- America will | come is not to be begrudged Germans who are having a pretty hard time of it, it is well that the Germany of today is becoming familiar to many who will spread this country. But a Germany without the proud officers parading the streets and forcibly indicating the advisability of ordinary people stepping aside to let them pass, and without the dignity associated with her in the day of the the news of her in monarchy must be a queer Germany | indeed and not without its pathetic | side.

TRAFFIC OFFICERS The best friend drivers of motor vehicles have, In their driving, is the traffic policeman. The more he helps them to get on thelr way rapidly, the greater his reputation for efliciency He has a motive, therefore, for making the bath as easy as possi- ble for the driver, and he does make that path infinitely easier for the driver than it would be with- out him. It is up to the bhecomes, driver, therefore, to try his best to do | as the traffie officer wants him to do and as he indicates he should do. The revolving signs, traffic signs, are a help to the driver perhaps—and their usefulness when placed where thére is a policeman also has been questioned | —but the gestures of the officer on duty are the indications that should be heeded especlally, Only where it is Impossible to get the eyes of the traf- fic officer, or to see his signal, should the driver resort to the sign. What- ever the driver thinks the sign indi- cates, he should follow the directions of the traMc policeman. They, sign and officer, work in unison, but some- times the interpretation given by the driver to the sign and the gesture of the policeman do not agree. The Inter- pretation is usually at fault, not the officer. Obey the officer and the driver is on the safe side. As the traffic officer {s the good | friend of the driver, so he is the good friend of drivers of horse-drawn vehi- cles and of pedestrians. If pedes- trians are sometimes impatient be- cause they are held up at a crosswalk too long, as they believe, they must remember that they might just as easily happen to be one of the people Wwho at that moment, are being helped | across the busy street or allowed to pass on in a car—and those people are grateful to the ofMicer for arranging for them to do so in safety.

Facts and Fancies (BY ROBERT QUILLEN). Wonder what an Irishman says when his small boy asks him what peace is, Ireland teaches us that freedom is a fine thing except in the more violent stages. If it sounds good, but doesn't seem to mean anything, it's probably a Chinese proverb. The melting pot works a wonderful dis- | transformation, but it can't make gold | of scrap iron. In the old days, booze paid heavy taxes; but now nothing about it is taxed except its ingenuity. Lots of men think they are tolerant simply because they haven't character enough to form convictions. Mexico should take kindly to the Ford. She is accustomed to oil troubles and internal combustion. Just when we begin to feel a pro- found sympathy for the feminine sex, we fall victim to a barber who has forgotten to sharpen his razor. In this flippant and sophisticated age, sons of toll appear to have a growing contempt for their sire. A man seldom hears the knock of opportunity if he pays too much at- tention to the knocks of the neigh- bors. Washing dishes softens the hands, | but any bride will tell you that too much of it has a tendency to harden the heart. There always are compensations; and while the boy is spending money at college the gasoiine bills are less at home. An old timer is one who can re- member when the hardiest croo considered it inadvisable to break Federal law. It is fortunte that Columbus dis- covered America. Otherwise, Europe wouldn’t have anybody to blame for everything. The rattle of the flivver isn't the significant thing. The trouble starts when the driver gets rattled. Patriotism, in miniature, is the con- soling thought that our home is better | furnished than that stuck-up neigh- | bor's.

THREE DIE, 1 HURT IN PICNIC WRECK \Truck Runs O Stamford Em- bankment, Pinning Occupants Stamford, Sept. 11.—Three men !were killed and eight others injured slightly in an automobile accident near Lockwood's corner, on the Long Ridge road last night between 7 and |8 o'clock. The motor truck in which they were riding, on their way home from a clambake in Long Ridge, struck a {telegraph pole while rounding a turn |at the corner, and went end over end down a ten foot embankment, bury- ing the men underneath it. The dead men are Kenneth Grupe, a clerk, of New Canaan, Conn.; Fred- erick Brown, a butcher, of Stamford, and a man believed to be Albert Reu- ben, a dairy salesman of Stamford. That body has not been identified positively, but a card bearing Reu- ben's name was found in a pocket. Truck Skids. The driver of the truck was Charles e. He told the Stamford authori- ties that he went down the long road | |just before reaching the Lockwood corner, at a speed of between thirty and thirty-five miles an h®ur, the roadway being good and there being| no other cars in sight or in the way. He rounded the turn wide, he said, but the big truck skidded off ths roadway into the gutter. It ran along the way for about seventy-five feet, but before Nee could bring it back into the road it struck a guy wire that held the telegraph pole and then smashed the pole itself. The pole was broken off a few feet from the ground. The force of the im- pact threw the truck to one side ane it went down the embankment to the swamp that at this point is alongside the highway. 11 Pinned Fast. 1 The telegraph pole fell on top of the car. The eleven men were pinned fast and could not get out of thelr own accord. Several persons who| live near the corner heard the crash and the shrieks of the fnjured men and hurried to the turn, but they|| could not lift the machine until fiffy! or more men had gathered about the | car. Then they raised it and Nee and seven were able to crawl out. But Grupe, Brown and Reuben lay buried | face downward in the mud. If they| had not been killed by their injuries they probably would have been suf- focated before they could be got out. Nee was the least injured or the lot. He suffered a bruised knee. The others hurt are Thomas Daly, Ralph Vitti, Charles Daly, Louis Powell, Al- lan Gustafson, Willlam Maher and John Moore, all of Stamford. The Dalys, Maher, Gustafson and Powell were sent to the Stanford hospital, while the others went to their homes after they had been treated by am- bulance surgeons. The injurles of all consisted of slight bruises and cuts. MARYLAND PRIMARIES Senator France is Opposed By John W. Garrett For Nomination to Up- | per House of Congress.
