Present regulations in many states requiring drivers to be examined before getting drivers licenses will do away with much of this ignorant driving, but a school for those who violate the law in spite of these state precautions would provide a double check on ignorance behind the wheel. Our northwest courts and police department might well investigate the idea. BACK TO THE BICYCLE Everybody is dimly conscious of the fact that there are more bicycles on the streets than there were a few years ago. But most people have probably shrugged it off as a fad and forgotten it. Traffic police, charged with the safety of the streets, know better. In many cities special instruction courses for bicyclists have been started, special regulations and licensing applied to them, for they have become a real factor in traffic safety. Even so, did you suspect that a million bicycles will be sold in 1937 ? Tht is the estimate of H. W. Brown of the Fisk Rubber Co., who sees 1939 as the best year in the history of the industry. President Roosevelt may have placed the stamp of disapproval on the age, but theres no twro ways about it were going back to the bicycle. y Chassenee, 16th century French jurist, made an eloquent plea in behalf of some rats accused of destroying the barley crop, and when they were cited to appear in court, he said that they should be excused, since the presence of fats in the neighborhood made it unsafe for them to Ash trees are found in the tropics, as well as in the regions.

When the news broke they were sore. dumbfounded and raging Most of them dislike and distrust him. But the shooting was all over. They had no chance to protest. The President had pulled fast one and there was nothing they could do to stop it. Only one person in Washington knew what was in the wind. He was Wayne Coy, young former WPA Regional Director and secretary in the Philippines. in Washington a Coy arrived month ahead of his boss. Shortly after Dykstra declined. Coy was called to the White House and asked to inform McNutt, then enroute to Indianapolis for a homecoming rally, that he could have the new Security post if he wanted it. Coy transmitted the information in a midnight longdistance telephone conversation. NOTE Coy is slated to be McNutt's assistant in the Security Agency at $9,000 a year.

Dress Rehearsal Jesse Jones, new head of the lending agency, and John new chief of the Public Works WPA program, were invited to the home of Henry Hollywood Car-mod- y, Morgenthau the other day for a private session. The two new almeticulous Mr. Morgenthau, ways a believer in preparedness thought it would be a good idea to hold a sort of dress rehearsal. Imagine his consternation, however, when the Honorable Jesse made a remark that he didn't see any great need for new lending legislation, that his Recon struction Finance Corporation was quite capable of handling all the lending the country needed. Whereupon, Mr. Carmody, who had been to a cocktail party before coming to Morgenthau's, lit into Jesse as if he were talking to Herbert Hoover. He told him he was no New Dealer, that he didn't believe in the President's philosophy, and that he shouldn't have been appointed to head the g spending-lendinin the agency first place. Aghast, Secretary Morgenthau made several moves to shut off but the Carmody, Irishman wouldn't be shushed. He talked at some length, anti stopped only when he felt there was nothing more to say. That ended the dress rehearsal for the press conference. Chief question in the minds of friends of both men is whether Carmody owes Jesse Jones an apology anil how lo get him to make it. NOTE - Various other advisers to the President agree with Jesse Jones up to a point, namely that Ins RFC was quite capable of handling all the country's necessary lending But, they add, the reason for new lending legislation is that Jesse just wouldn't lend the money. Now, however, the President apparently has spiked his own interests by appointing Jesse head of the new lending agency, Under The I)me Government authorities are saying nothing about it publicly but since Hitler came into power the staff of the German embassy has almost doubled in size -- despite the fact that the Nazis do not now have an ambassador in One of the chief Washington. . alien baiters on Capitol Hall is Jacob Thorkclson.

Right now the relief workers who are on strike are getting as much money as they did before. The only difference is that they have to work longer to get it. The ironic part about it is that whereas the other changes in the WPA bill were made over the administration's objection, this particular change was made with Administrator Harringtons full approval. The prevailing wage rule, as Harrington saw it, resulted in inefficiency in WPA building projects: a foreman on a given job might have one crew putting in 60 hours a week, another crew doing 75, another doing 90, and still another doing J 10. Under those circumstances, he was likely to have a terrible time getting his job done smoothly. In addition, Harrington felt that the prevailing wage rule paved the way for a good deal of chiseling. There were cases in which a relief worker, enjoying a high hourly pay rate, would finish his weekly WPA stint in 15 hours and would use his spare time to be The Washington Merry -Go -Round I went buk to the oftice and slumped into a chair It seemed horribly hot This morning when 1 had felt o good and rool and on good terms with the world, seemeu as remote as permanent pro.speiitv 1 w mulcted just how I was going to make it through the remainder of the day I remembered how dogs pant when they re lint, how turkeys and i tin kens hang their mouths open when hot and dry.

But here is the story. It may Illustrate that as a ma.i is made to tliiiikrth, so is he. After whistling through my bath and grabbing a bite to cat, I came to the office, picked up the morning papef and read: "Heat continues to hold region in grip. Experts offer little hope for cool wave." It told then how the mercury had soared to 115 in Las Vegas, how Salt Lakers had baked in weather, and how in Spain they are suffering from temperatures as high as 134 degrees. So hot, in fact, that farmers have had to leae the fields for fear of getting sunstrokes. After reading those reports, I mopped a finger around the collar of my shirt and was thankful that the heat hadnt become so bad in Cache Valley yet. But I knew the water in Logan river was dropping rapidly, and there may be possibilities of a water shortage. It is time for a news story on the situation, I mused, so I phoned Professor 'George D. Clyde. After talking to him I felt arid. Logan river is dropping rapidly, he said In terse notes. The present discharge is 100 second feet below that of last - year at the rorresponding time. Everyone must conserve water to the utmost to avoid serious results. Yesterday the measurement was 206 second feet, v.hlle today It Is but 200. At the present rate of drop, it may go down to 125 feet by fall. WPA Discord Differential fs Abolished BY BRUCE CATTON Herald Journal Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 14The WPA authorities are saying priif that think vately you they are having trouble now, with nationwide strikes against the abolition of the prevailing wage rule for relief work, you should just try looking ahead to next September. I hen, they say, ts when the real trouble is likely to begin. Under the new WPA bill, the differential hitherto paid between north and south is abolished, effective Sept, 1. Taking the country as a whole, the average monthly wage for WPA work has been $52.5). The new law provides that this shall not substantially be changed, but that no more may be paid tor any type of work in one locality than is paid for the same type of work in another locality, except where some change is justified by differences in the cost of living. This provision, say the WTA authorities, is simply going to mean that relief workers throughout the northern and middlcwcst-er- n states are going to get a substantial pay reduction on Sept. 1. At the same time, they say, relief workers in the south will get a pretty substantial increase. I started out to work this morning in pretty high spirits. I had risen early, mowed the lawn, taken u cool bath, and begun the day with a certain feeling that the hot weather isn't so terrible and depressing. Right now I feel as though I have just emerged from an odyssey through hell. I'm very hot. I've suddenly noticed that my clothes are sticking to me and my feet burn.
