MOTORS OUTSTRIP RAILS
Washington. D. C. A statistical'
review conducted by the government
during the last decade shows results
that are amazing.
An idea of the development of mo
tor transportation during the last
ten years can be obtained by com
paring it with the development in
railroad transportation. A compar
ison of railroad mileage with high
way mileage shows that hroughout
I'nited Slates the highway mile
age is approximately ten times great
er than the railroad mileage, the fig-
11 res showing that there are 2,47S,.rir2
miles miles of highway and 253,62 G
miles of railwavs.
For every railroad ear in the Unit
ed States, the figures show, there
are three motor car.;; a motor ve
hiclo for every fifty-nine yards of
railroad right of way.
A comparison of the railroad mile
age in the various states with the
number of motor vehicles in use in
bote states shows that in equal dis
tribution. Rhode Island, for instance,
there is one motor vehacle for every
nine yards of railroad track, while
in Nevada there is but ont motor
vehicle for every 434 yards. Texas,
whoso railroad mileage is 2.r per
cent greater than that of any other
state, has one motor vehicle for ev
ery eighty-five yards, compared with
other motor vehicle for every 1S8
yards in Louisiana, its neighboring
state. Ohio State Journal.

NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU D3
New Yorker Saw Only One Way to
Settle Problem of Street-Car Eti
quette Confronting Him.
A business man who was raised far
enoueh away from New York still to
pay "ma'am" when he speaks to a
strange woman was recently confront
ed with a new aiijr'e of one of the
major transportation problems of city
life.
His theory is that since women have
sought and found equal opportunity in
business and in politics, a tired ni:i"n
should have an equal opportunity In
the seat lottery 011 the way home at

has Hie exceptions to it preltv veil in
mind. Ho will not take a seat if there
Is n woman standing near it. He will
yield bis seat to an elderly woman,
nn.l this 5s a curtihml except ion--to
a woman with n baby.
Rut he did not have the answer
ready the other night when lie looked
up fn-tn his paper to find clinging to
the strap before him a handsome
young woman with a poodle under her
arm.
The hero of this experience is a
qntek thinker, but also set in his con
victions. f course, he reasoned, a

carry one on th subway in the rush

CLIMB THAT REQUIRED NERVE
English Workman Went 450 Feet in
Air to Make Repairs to Marconi
Wireless Mast.
The Morning Post of London gives
the description of a climb performed
by a workman in the employ of the
Marconi company at their works in
Chelmsford. A short time ago the
highest part of n wireless mast 4."0
feet high, higher than the cross on
the top of St. Paul's, was b-oken by a
gale. How was it to be repaired?
Ladders were out of the question. Rut
the difficulties did not daunt one of
the workmen, who noticed that the
mast was made of quarter-sections
bolted together and then fitted one on
top of the other. He asked, and was
given permission, to try the climb. He
made himself a belt, at the two ends
of which were rings that would slip
over th ends of the bolts. Thus
equipped he started to mount on high,
the bolts being bis only means of
support. On the first day be swarmed
up "OO feet, fitted the tackle, and
descended to earth, for it was too cold
to proceed farther. On the second day
be was hoisted up the 1200 feet, and
then, hand over hand by means of his
rings ami bolts, he got to the top of
the mast, where ho effected the net -s-sary
repairs. The -4nsf 2" feet of
climbing was done in an hour. The
man's name was Post.

Yesterday P. T. Becker and family

George Meyer and Frank Sand,
two of the young men of near Avoca,

will win because our c-use deserves
to win." The league of nations was
featured by the governor at Toledo.
In urging the league of nations at
Toledo, Governor Cox referred to the
present disagreement over German
indemnities.
"The voice cf America," he said,
"must fix it. Now they say that we
should substitute for the league the
old Hague - tribunal. That institu
tion closed up before the war. I
imagine there are bats in its belfry
and spider webs everywhere. It was
a distinct failure, having failed to
prevent war in 1914. Tiie opposition
candidate says he will go back and
open this old institution and try to
keep lioii.c there."
Declaring that the league ' i.s the
modern idea of bringing the nearest
guarantee of peace,' Governor Cox
said it was a progressive plan, and
that Senator Harding, the republi
can nominee, stood for reaction as he
had done also in opposing the new
Oliio constitution.
Referring to the Harding front
porch campaign. Governor Cox said
that on 1: is trip he was "going to se-1
thousands of front porches from
coast to ena?t in the belief that the
front porch of the people is the seat
of American sovereignty."
Governor Cox and his party were
met at Toledo by a delegation of
about twenty-five Michigan demo
crats. THREATING A RISING
