Model "400" to Be Exhibited at Golden Gates Exposition A tiny model of the Chicago and North Western Railway company‘s sleek streamliner, the "400", is on its way to the West Coast where it will be one of the featured attracâ€" tions in the Chicago and North The model, complete in every deâ€" tail, was built by Wayne Norris, a 23â€"yearâ€"old employe of the railroad Western exhibit at the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco. The 10â€"car streamliner with its power unit is made up of 1.‘“‘ parts, not counting couplers, trucks, wheeis, screws, boits, nails and nuts, which would add to several thousâ€" and more. According to Norris, the most difâ€" ficult task in constructing the model was lining up and cutting out the windows. There are 376 small glass windows in the model streamliner, in cluding the small windows in the baggmge compartment doors and small port hole in each parlor car.

"‘Notice, right in ‘Hhie genter of your vision, how the blur keeps you from seeing the print clearly. Noâ€" tice, too, how long it is before your sight becomes normal again." The safety director pointed out that the same thing happens when the driver passes lights that glare into his eyes, adding that many serious accidents are caused this way. Mr. Traver offered three sugâ€" gestions to help avoid such acciâ€" dents: "Firstâ€"see that headlights are in proper adjustment and do not shine into the eyes of other drivers.

The wave moves onward, but the water of which it is composed does not. The same particle does not rise from the valley to the ridge. The perâ€" sons who make up a nation today, die, and their experience with them. And so the reliance on property, including the reliance on governments which protect it, is the want of selfâ€"reliance. Men have looked away from themselves and at things so long that they have come to esteem what they call the soul‘s progress, namely, the religiâ€" ous, learned and civil institutions as guards of property, and they deâ€" precate assaults on these, because they feel them to be assaults on property. They measure their esâ€" teem of each other by what each bas, and not by what each is." The foremost thinker of our country wrote these lines in 1841.
