The surprise also explains some, but not all, of the confusion that resulted. Pwo corrections In the scheme tried out last Saturday night must be made hefore another experiment i tried, First, drivers of cars should he al- Jowed to stop their cars where there Is room at the curb, and do their shop- ping. Where there is no room at the curh, thus making a car which parks far out in the street a block to traffie, it is proper that they should bo told 10 move on. reets are street; they are made for the passage of vehicles. No driver should be unreasonable enough to expect to be allowed to stop in the middle of the thus usurping the whole highway for his own eonveinence. It is not the fault of the one-way traffic idea that the streets are not wide enough to per- mit the parking of innumerable cars. The other corrcction that should be made is to allow cars coming down West Main St. bound for a point to the north, to go along the west of central park only as far as just be- yond the end of the park, not foreing them to proceed as far us the South Church traffic post hefore turning to the north. A person wishing to go from West Main street down Church, for instance, to the station, should not he made to drive out of his way for so great a distance as the South Church street corner. With the street on the West of Central Park clear, and with the traffic moving steadily, such person would make faster time to the station by taking this route than he would were he compelled to drive on down West Main street, in front of city hall, meet- ing traffic coming West and being compelled to wait a chance to get started down Church. One-way traffic about the must come. No matter how incon- venient it may scem to be compelled to drive a couple of blocks out of one's way to get to one's destination, such inconvenience to a few individ- uals does not equal by any means the total of time that would be lost by the many if the cars are to be al- lowed to travel through two-way traffic everywhere about the center. 1t is the tendency to put up with de- lays, if one's car is headed in the di- rection one desires to go. And it seems a hardship to be compelled to go out of the way. But time Is saved, nevertheless, and in this case the motorist should remember with & | eynical smile, perhaps, that often “the | longest way 'round is the shortest way home.” street, park A PENMAN WIELDS THE SWORD. | Swiftly skimming through our hook on “What To Do,” we find no answer | to the question: “What is the cor- | reet procedure when a person of royal | blond presents a pass at the entrance to a cinema show?” So we cannot say whether any of the rules of eti-| fractured Duke Camastra was quette were when lanza de Ttaly greeted with coarse and vulgar lan- | guage - upon presenting a marked “Window Lithograph™ to the| doorkeeper of the Cora Laparcerie| theater in Paris.

It France Is a deep schemer, hent on the destruction of Germany and wants the French frontier extended to the Rhine, the attempt to establish a Rhineland Republic pleases Poincare. If, however, France wants honestly to have the reparations payments made and Is casting no covetous cyes on the occupied territory, she should be concerned over the separatist upris- ing in the fear that it will result in taking the new State out of the Ger- ~every econventional suspected s and the Dempsey up" man Reich. . Lloyd George, and some commen- tators in this country, blame France for the present situation. Some go 50 far as to say it is exactly ‘what I'rance wants because payment of reparations has sunk in importance before I'rance's other designs. Cer- tainly a successful movement which will result in dismembered Ger- many and consequently a weaker Ber- lin government, will not help along the matter of payment of reparations which is the thing desired by all Europe. There certain cireumstances, such as Poincare’s refusal to consider seriously Germany's offers, and such as the rumor that the French had dis- armed the government police on the approach of the ts, which would tend to strengthen the belief that France is not averse to secing a less powerful, broken-up Germany. This, provided one is willing to be- lieve that France has been moving along the lines of a long-established plot made and carried out in secrety But those who have faith that France has not been guilty of these things; those who still believe in France are not ready 'yvet to take these bits of circumstantial evidence as proving conclusively that the com- plete dismemberment of Germany, rather than a settlement of the repa- rations matter, s what France really wants, a are separat “LITTLE LE 'TON."

Considerable interest has been aroused in the minds not only of the credulous and those who Dbelieve communication with spivits s possi- ble, but alse in the minds of sclentific men, over the attempts of a woman recently to produce spirit writings on cards, The attempts, or the results, huve been stamped as fraudulent, the ap- parently genuine spirit writings hav- obtained by the use of sleight of hafid, The incldent, there- fore, 18 not worth noting, It Is Just one more evidenee of the attempt of a person who scems to have been a trickster to decelve the people on & matter of great interest. It, this fall- ure, may be dismissed in a word, But there Is a significance connected with the incldent that may not be dis- missed so caslly. It lles In the per- dstence with which men of Intelli- genee, famillar with the wonders of sclence and recognizing man’s ignor- ance of things as yet walting to be discdvered, continue to look for some tangible evidence that communication with the spirits of those who have died s possibl 'his failure, here noted, will not lessen this persistence. The reward offered by a scientific publication for any manifestation that will be shown to be honust, remains to be won. Men will continue to seek to prove that with the spirit of the dead is pos- sible, Some are convinced by their own experience that they have heen in touch with those who have gone. Tt is quite possible that any com- munfeation with spirits will never be proven by anything tangible. Our conception of “spirits” is not of some- thing that may be seen, touched. The whole idea of the spirit is of some- thing beyond our present understand- ing of dimension. So it would be quite logical to expect that commu- nication with spirits, if there is any such possibility, could never be proven by tangible evidence, But as long as men retaln that cager desire to ex plore the unknown, so long there will be these attempts no mattér how many failures are reported. And this is the attitude of mind that has brought all progress, all improvement.

Parls, Oct. 23.—Accusations that the graves of American soldlers burled In Irance are sadly neglected have been found to be untrue by Paris Post No. 1, American Legion, it was an- nounced today. H. C. Huffer, junior vice-comman- der of the post has cabled‘ Lemucl Bowles, national adjutant of the Am- erican Legion at Indianapolis, an ex- pression of the surprise felt here by members of the organization that any such complaints should be made. “The American graves registration bureau in Paris,” Mr. Huffer cabled, “is ably managed and is doing effec- tive work. TIn less than two years 46,000 bodies have been exhumed and sent to the United States. Thirty thousand other bodies have been ex- humed and reinterred in metallic caskets, which work was only com- plated about six months ago. “Since then and to June 1 last con- tracts have been let for permanent constructions and beautification. Up to October 1 Belleau cemctery was 46 per cent completed. Permanent eon- struction work In other cemeteries is progressing satisfactorily. Mr, Huffer also has explained to Adjutant Bowles that the subscrip- tions solicited at Belleau are not for the cemetery but are applied to a fund for the purchase of Belleau Woods and the meadows adjoining the cemetery. The appearance of disorder in the cemeteries, the post official explained, is a consequence of the exhumation of bodies to be sent to America and the re-coffining and reinterment of the re- mains that are to be left in France. This work, it is said, is requiring complete rearrangement of the ceme- teries. GETS YEAR IN JAIL Wealthy Belmont, N. Y., Man Also Fined $500 For Brutally Beating His Nincteen Year Old Niece. Belmont, N. Y,, Oct. 23.—John K. Meineka, wealthy hardware merchant, was sentenced to serve a year in the Monroe county penitentiary and to pay a fine of $600 for horsewhipping Lillian Wood, his nineteen year old niece and ward who is a school teach- er. He pleaded guilty to charges of assault, third degree, when his case was called for trial yesterday, and al- though he was charged with second degree assault in the indictment, Lee Fassett, prosecuting attorney, accepted the plea. The attack took place last June while his niece was living with him. His wife questioned the girl about a personal matter and when she could get no information, called her hus- band. Enraged by her refusal to |answer, the man struck her with his fist and then forced her to remove her dress and horsewhipped her. The girl was not allowed to sce a doctor until a week later, when she still had a black eye, a broken nose and many unhealed wounds in her back. Girl Lawyer Weeps as Her Client Is Found Guilty Hackensack, N. J,, Oct. 23.—Ezal Robertson, negro, whose defense on a charge of murder was conducted by Miss Anna B. Hogan, young woman lawyer of Jersey City, was found guilty of murder in the second degree yesterday. Clemency was advised by the jury and sentence will be fixed Thursday. Robertson was charged with shooting John Barnes during an altercation. Miss Hogan made an im- passioned plea for her client. At one stage, she wept. dfter the verdict, she declared she was ‘“bitterly disap- pointed.” REPUBLICANS ANXIOUS Balance of Power in Congress Is Too Livenly Divided for Old Guard Washington, Oct. 23.—Whether the republicans will be able to organize the house and senate immediately upon the convening of the 68th con- gress is a subject of concern to some of their leaders. The balance between the two dom- inant parties in both houses is so deli- cate that a small group of republican progressives can block the election of both the speaker of the house and president of the senate. This sifua- tion gives the progressives a vantage point from which they are cxpected to crowd their demands as to the character of organization and legisla- | tion, L) 267 MAIN ST, DOLLAR SPECIALS FOR TOMORROW, MANY BARGAINS FOR THRIFTY SHOPPERS CHILDREN'S AND MISSES' SHOES 83 t02 _ $1.00 WOMEN'S OR GROWING GIRLS' PATENT LOW HEEL PUMPS $ L WOMEN'S LISLE HOSIERY— Small Sizes Only ...........
