KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. IT how REQUIRED traffic just two days to demonstrate may move over the uptown streets when a traffic ordinance is strictly enforced. During that time some twenty motorsts, who did not take seriously Chief Massey's statement that the ordinance would be enforced, found themselves the owners of police stickers and as a result they will have to appear in traffic court next Wednesday. The great majority of the motorists are cooperating whole-heartedly in observing the restrictions of the traffic measure and as a result the police have had little difficulty. Most of the stickers were issued for double parking and overtime parking in restricted zones after the streets are supposed to be clear for the street cleaning department.

Both merchants and shoppers are jubilant over the results of the enforcement of the traffic laws. Shoppers now find it possible to park in the business loop district in places formerly taken up by cars belonging to employes working in offices and business houses. This can not help but work to the advantage of the merchant. The traffic officers are doing a good job of enforcing the ordinance. But they must keep it up.

That is the only way to teach motorists who have been operating cars much as they please that we do have a traffic ordinance and that it must be obeyed. BRITISH CAUTION. IMPATIENT French and Italian politicians have I condemned the "weakness" of the British note protesting against Germany's abrogation of the Versailles treaty provisions governing armament. The Latin diplomats prefer a firebrand type of warning that contains the threat of hostilities. Russia also deplores the restraint that marked the British communication.

While majority sentiment in the United States may indorse scorching denunciation of the Nazi leadership, judgment must approve the action of the British cabinet in preferring every opportunity for discussion before resort to bitter recriminations. The attitude of Downing street emphasizes the similarity between British and American thinking. The former are much closer to continental crises and their own safety is involved so acutely in European developments that the nation must be alert to defend its own interests. The government and the people of the "tight little island" of pre-airplane days have no desire for war. They recognize better than continental gamblers the devastating consequences of further strife.

None can predict what the outcome of another war would be on governments and civilization. It is obviously out of the question to expect political co-operation which might involve the threat of war. The influence of public opinion and a degree of economic understanding, however, could go far to make the Anglo-American point of view a positive influence for world peace. In spite of sharp differences which occasionally arise, the British and American outlook on world policy remains largely the same. ANTI-HOLDING COMPANY MESSAGE.

'HE President's "anti-holding company" message, like the "child amendment to the Constitution, is likely to have a special appeal to many who are impressed by an alluring title. There is enough of basis for public distrust of holding companies to make an attack on them popular. Some among them have done many things that should not have been permitted. The holding company has been the device by which some promoters have pyramided profits and left the investors in the lurch when the inevitable crashes have come. Such abuse of corporate management should be done away with, as the President suggests.

The door is left open, when the President in his denunciation of holding companies, says "except where it is absolutely necessary to the continued functioning of a geographically integrated operating utility system the utility holding company with its present powers must go." He recognizes there are some that could not be wiped out without serious consequences to the public. There is no hard and fast rule that might be laid down. Some, he concedes, are "absolutely necessary," sO that the subject should be considered as a whole and not in the light of enmity towards a few outstanding offenders. One witness told a Senate committee that the attitude of the present administration, as indicated in the Rayburn bill concerning which the President was speaking, has resulted in a shrinkage of $3,500,000,000 of values. No doubt a very material percentage of that loss is in the stocks of concerns the President considers to be in the "absolutely necessary" class.

Their holders should not be made to suffer along with the owners of securities that are without excuse for existence and represent little more than wind and water. The danger in riding roughshod over an issue like the "holding company" is that in going after the guilty the innocent may be made to Daily Mirror of Washington -By Harold Washington, March the archives of the State Department may be found a very curious document. It: is the report by an American minister to Persia, Charles Calmer Hart, of a trip which he made in 1930 into forbidden Afghanistan. Mr. Hart was a former Washington correspondent who had graduated from that position into the diplomatic service.

As a diplomat he still retained the instincts of a reporter. When he returned from Afghanistan he wrote exactly what he saw. He related the curious customs in the language of a reporter rather than the usual diplomatic parlance. He used city room realism in relating his impressions of prominent Afghans. He told how he was received at Kabul, at Kandahar and at Herat.

He related how, as he was escorted to the Amir at the capital, an Afghan band played a tune which at first seemed to have faint traces of familiarity and which he later recognized as The Star-Spangled Banner. It was a most entertaining document, but one which might have caused a diplomatic incident if its contents had ever permeated back to the Amir. When it was received at the State Department the various officials to whom it came made notations of their horror upon its margins. The general comment was that Mr. Hart should be severely disciplined, perhaps even recalled, or at least vigorously reprimanded for this departure from the usual diplomatic oleaginousness.

It finally came up to Henry L. Stimson, then Secretary of State. The notation which he wrote at the end was this: "If Mr. Hart must be disciplined, I suggest a very mild reprimand. Such: a sense of humor should not be L.

suffer needlessly, and the innocent include millions of those interested in life insurance and other organizations having investments in holding company securities. The "holding company" has been given a bad name which, for the most part, it deserves. It has become a symbol, just as is "Wall Street" so frequently denounced by the rabble-rousers. Congress, however, should look beneath the label and give the subject the careful consideration and attention it merits. ICKES' STRATEGIC RETREAT.

THE new deal administration has beat an ignominous retreat in an attempt to dominate municipal government by demanding, on pain of losing alphabetical funds. the removal of officials not politically "right." The issue which held grave possibilities for many American communities was raised over the allocation of PWA money to New York city. Rowert W. Moses, park commissioner and member of the Triborough Bridge Authority, was objectionable politically to the new deal bosses. Secretary Ickes dispatched an order making it impossible for any city official to serve as an authority administering PWA funds.

In spite of the resentment which this usurpation of federal power provoked, the administrator pompously announced that the order "stands like the rock of Gibraltar." If Secretary Ickes, as reported, was acting at the behest of the White House, he must feel chagrined over the desertion which left him holding the bag. The President evidently decided that the effort to unseat Mr. Moses would have to be dropped. The facesaving process supplied a statement that hereafter city officials would not be designated to receive PWA funds. Thus the rock of Gibraltar was not such an unyielding barrier as the new deal politicians had supposed.

The administration probably hopes that the entire transaction will be forgotten. The public will not object, so long as the politicians at Washington do not commit again the error of using the alphabetical millions to retaliate against municipal officials who have incurred displeasure. City authorities naturally wish to maintain reasonably harmonious relations with dispensers of alphabetical funds. There are principles involved, however, which even a few millions can not flout. Among them is stubborn resistance to federal domination of local units by threat of withholding the stream of reckless spending.

OMINOUS TALK FOR SENATORS. THE. present administration has brought about something new, and disconcerting, in discussion on the floor of Congress. Hard-headed statesmen like Senators Glass, Byrd, Tydings and Adams among the Democrats have joined with Republican conservatives in a warning that the proposed $4,880,000,000 relief and public works bill may affect the public credit adversely. The Maryland senator asked: "How can we expect to preserve the nation's credit by adding this amount to the $30,000,000,000 already piled up?" Who can remember when the possibility of a strain on Uncle Sam's credit ever was even mentioned in Congress? During the war, when the Wilson administration was running the national debt from less than $2.000.000,000 up to more than 000, nobody had any doubt about the national credit.

The fact that approximately 000,000 was paid off in the succeeding Republican administrations showed the soundness of public faith in the country's ability to pay what it might borrow. Never, so far as any one can recall, has there been any talk before that the national credit was in danger. The difficulty now is not so much the sum involved in the proposed appropriation as in the fact that the administration leaders seem to have no conception of what they are doing. They have been running behind $4,000,000,000 a year and show no signs of calling a halt. The threat to the national credit is in uncertainty and evident lack of inclination to heed any of the rules of sound financing.

The credit of the nation is in the willingness of the people to support its borrowings. If those who are expected to take government securities lose confidence, the new dealers might force the banks to load up for a time and then resort to inflation, which would be the forerunner of disaster.

Was it Charles Hanson Towne who poetized The blow-up of the two-year-old American Spectator ended still another wistful experiment in co-operative genius. As a critical literary monthly it was staffed with sundry and sO arty big-wigs, such as Dreiser, Cabell, Nathan, O'Neill and Anderson, who were to write what they pleased with no hope of financial profits. In a swan song the editors profess to be simply tired of the job, although claiming circulation and prestige had been growing by leaps and bounds.

The intimations are that Mr. Vanderlip did not indulge the camaraderie of the newsman's brotherhood nor did he belong to the "White Chapel," a club of the select inner circle. As a financial writer he was somewhat a dillentante, stiff and starchy, and had little truck with the roysterers. He thawed out only in his memoirs. Chiefly he used his pen as an Alpine stock and scaled the Matterhorn and is one of the few news-gatherers to become a multimillionaire.

It was so unheard of a thing for Hugh to single out any woman for attention, that his little speech appeared to strike everybody dumb.

Of all, I think Edith herself was the most astonished and--I guessed -dismayed. knew, as well as almost everybody else in the group, that she had proposed the moonlight drive to the ocean in the hope that she could maneuver Dicky into taking her in his car "built only for two." Of course, she had not asked him to take her in that fashion, but she had made the proposal for a drive directly to him. and I knew she had wished for two things- -to claim Dicky for a tete-a-tete drive, and to make me jealously angry. A Hopeless Love. This unexpected query of Hugh's had deflated her promptly and thoroughly.

If she had been a woman eaten up with inordinate vanity, as is Avis Arlen, she would have been SO elated over deflecting from me even so small a part of the attention which Hugh unobtrusively but steadily has given me for years, that she would have forgotten her wish to annex Dicky, in a feeling of triumph over me. But Edith Fairfax is not a vain woman. Indeed. she is innately one of the finest women I know. Yet she had had the misfortune to fall violently in love with Dicky even before I married him, in the days when she and her sister Leila were struggling futilely to establish themselves as artists in New York, and her hope-' less infatuation for him has warped -I almost wrote whole life.

In all other matters she is high-minded and unselfish, but where Dicky is concerned she is ruthless. and I have the feeling that while she would not stoop to the depths of plotting to which poor, half-crazed Grace Draper descended, she would yet risk much- to great lengthsif she thought she could win Dicky for herself. To Spare Madge. I heard a slight, sibilant intake of Edith's breath, and knew that she was as exasperated as she was astonished. It was not even a sop to a the little vanity possesses, less than that of most women, for I knew she was keen enough to read between the lines of Hugh's words and see exactly what he was trying to do.

It was something I. myself, had seen instantly, although savagely scored myself for the vanity that prompted the thought. But in Dicky's sardonic eyes fixed on my face-I did not dare to look at him directly, but underneath my lashes I saw his expression--and in the illy-suppressed grin curving Harry Underwood's lips, I read the same conclusion.

The general trend of blood pressure is to go up as age advances. In children of the age of 2. blood pressure is usually 75 to 90. In a mature individual of 20, it is usually about 120. From then on it liable to increase gradually, about 10 points for every decade of life.

until it reaches 150 to 160 at about the age of 60, when it is likely to decline. Variations of pressure during the day show, in a healthy person, that the systolic pressure in the morning is about 100 rises to about 120 at 9 o'clock, falls a little during the fore noon, rises again in the early afternoon, and if a quiet evening is spent, it falls slowly to about 100, remaining that way through the night.

When partners have shown strength, as West and partner had done with today's there may be an advantage in the single strong opponent make opening lead, up to the lesser of the second member of the ing side. This probably accounts West's unusual bidding.

As expected, the opening lead was the of heart. Dummy's Ace won. Three rounds of trumps luckily pulled with a long trump. Not until then did West realize that his had held only three clubs, partner, it was fortunate for the declaring side that opposing trumps had been divided 3-3. East's of clubs won the fourth trick played, taking his last trump.

He led his lowest heart. South's won the trick. When North showed out South knew that the declarer held the missing of hearts, but he might not hold the missing Ace of diamonds. South took the second defensive trick for his side with the Ace of spades, then dummy was put in with a heart, as the exposed hand had nothing left to lead except diamonds or the long trump. The 2 of diamonds was led from dummy and the declarer was in with the missing Ace of diamonds, capturing South's lone Q.

If South had not been wise enough to take his Ace of spades when in, dummy's lone spade would have been discarded on the declarer's of hearts, giving the declaring side a small slam, without mentioning the remarks which North might have addressed to his partner had the latter allowed East to make a small slam against an opening bid. Had North and South known that opponents were going to fulfill a game contract at a minor suit, it would have paid well to bid 5-Spades, as neither side was vulnerable. Going tricks doubled, costing 450 points, would have been less expensive than giving opponents a game. How It Works Attica Ledger and Tribune.

"Sorry to cut in, old man," Dicky said airily, "but by my halidome, the lady is pledged to me, varlet though I be, for this moonlit to the ocean.

If one were to take 1,000 people and take their blood pressure every day at the same time, thoroughout the year, and make a graph of the average of these pressure, it would be found that it was highest about the first of January, became appreciably lower-10 to 15 points--by June, stayed that way through the summer, and then gradually rose through the fall again to the high point in January. The lesson of this, according to an eminent physician of my acquaintance, is always to start your high blood presure patreating, the first of January and to dismiss them on the first of August. We see from all these things that it is entirely an erroneous idea to regard blood pressure as a fixed thing. It is far more changeable than temperature of the body or than the pulse rate. QUESTIONS FROM READERS.

Reader: "I am 43 and have been married 20 years. My wife has often remarked that has never heard me snore. but lately she has had to awaken me several times during the night. I would be grateful if you would tell me what has caused this and what I can do to correct it." Answer: This department wishes it could give a helpful and instructive answer to all questions, but life being what it is, that is not always possible. So far as I have any wisdom on your complaint, you snore SO much because you are 43, and there is nothing to do about it except not go to sleep.
