The board haa made arrangements with the firm of Edinger and Spiedel whereby employment, sufficient to pay for a meal ticket, will be given to any and all who apply for work at their place of business on Railroad avenue. "The men who are temporarily "down and out" will be glad of an opportunity to earn a meal and the "professional tramps," who are constitutionally op- posed to work in any form, will soon learn (for they have means of com- municating to each other known only themselves) that they are expected to work for what they get here and will consequently give Wllmette a wide berth. For his own protection, every citizen should co-operate with the board of local charities in this matter by In- forming all applicants where they may obtain work.

In view of theae regulations, and, of the sacredness with which Great Brit- ain regarded them when related to Belgium, it seems strange that the United States should have been called upon to refuse to Canada permission to ship "war equipment" across Alas- ka to the sea, which, according to the published letter from Secretary Bryan to Senator Stone of Missouri, has been the case.

It In the vicinity the railroad com? Kny Is proceeding with the work of llding the Thorndale avenue station and will open it for operation on or about February 15th. Berwyn avenue station will be built when the tracks' are elevated The elevated roads are now besieged with demands for new stations in various parts of the city. The city council of Chicago has recently passed an ordinance covering the construction and the rate they would take four hours for a man's voice unaided, granted the possibility of such titanic tongs, to travel to. aan Francisco through the air. On the wires It takes less than one-fifteenth of a second. Electricity was driving Dr. Bell's "ahoy" at the rate of 56.000 miles par second. Bbaadi anabettedV limps along to comparison, making only 1,160 feet per second. So If there waa pride in the faces of the engineers who clustered; round Dr. Bell as he talked to "Friend Wat- son" today, there was soma reason' therefor. Up to now the longest tele- phone line In the world was between New York and Denver, bat Mr. Catty and his young men have gone their previous record 1,300 miles hotter, and once again they have given to this country the longest line to the world. From Boston to Providence, back to the Eighties, from New York to Boa- ton, and then to Chicago In 1892. and finally from New York to Denver and on to the coast, the engineers have coaxed copper wires Into carrying the human voice. Voices Were Hoard Easily. This was what they said: Dr. Bell: Ahoy! ahoy! Mr. Watson, are you there? Do you hear me? Mr. Watson in San Francisco: Yes, Dr. Bell, 1 hear yon perfectly. Do you hear me well? Dr. Ball: Yet, your voice is per- fectly distinct. It is aa dear as though yoa were here in New York Instead of being more than 3,000 miles away. You remember, Mr. Watson, that evening thirty-eight years ago when we con- versed through a telephone on an aerial line for the first timer Mr. Watson: Yes, indeed, that line waa two miles long running from Boa- ton to Cambridge. Yoa were ovcr- ea I Joyed at tha success of the experiment Dr. Bell: We are talking over 3,400 miles as easily and clearly as we talked over two miles thirty-eight years ago. Mr. Watson: The telephone men have certainly dona wonderful things with your inventions since that first out- door test We must not forget that the circuit wp are talking over is nearly 6,800 milts long as. of course, the earth cannot be used for tbe return now aa we used It then.

In some instances additional revenue would undoubtedly accrue to the com- pany through view stations, but as a general principle the Injecting of new stations on the elevated system is det rimental to a majority of the paasen gera and if persisted in would de stroy any semblance of rapid transit and make the elevated railroads little more than a street car system, from the standpoint of speed. In various cities In the country street cars are now being operated at a schedule speed of 9 miles per hour. In an effort to increase this speed to 11 miles per hour the alternate stop system of skipping blocks Is being tried and has been thoroughly die- cussed by the local transportation committee of this city. It therefore appears illogical where there «is a semblance of rapid transit in the ele- vated railroads to seek to destroy it by additional stations to serve the con- venience of a comparatively few peo- ple In the in.mediate vicinity, or to benefit the business interests in the locality The foltowlug <'.0!il|Ktrln»ltn ot rx.l.Oil ,.i« speed In Chicago and New York ma) be of Interest: Fastest Evpress Ran. instance Time Chicago â€"Kinzie St. U. * Wilson Ave . o lo ml. i<imlu Miibway - Brwklyu Bridge to 96th St. a it ' »» i/pleat Express Huns.
