DAILY COMMENT ON
In the meantime council might
better wait a minute before letting
the Pennsylvania railroad shut off the
West Side from the loop with" a
Chinese wall of elevated freight
tracks.
Xhe Day Book is printed on the
West Side and we don't want the
street closed so we can't get through
to the loop and carry the light of
truth Into the dark corners.
As near as we can figure it out,
Mayor Harrison is in favor of a sub
way. And though he isn't decided
as to just where a subway shbuld
subway we gather from his remarks
'that he wants it underground.
Which, engineers tell us, is a first
rafe'place to build a subway.
Subways built on stilts might fall
down, and no way has yet been dis
covered ol successfully putting a
hole-in-the-ground up in the'air

build a subway so that it will boost
business for department stores. For

Day Book.
Mayor Harrison slyly hints that the
'Comniittee of Fifteen want the joints
closed in neighborhoods where spe

that start vice crusades in certain dis
tricts where fhey want to get hold of
propertyvcheap.

is something more lively than the
usual Sunday sermon.
If they'll give" 'em a little band
-music or some movies before or after
the sermon they'll find a bigger con
gregation listening to their sermons.
We wouid advise giving the sermon
first." More of 'em will stick for the
music or pictures afterN hearing the
sermon than will stick for the ser
mon after hearing the music or see-
ing the pictures."

A Los Angeles judge has had
