Road Tries Out Two-Guard Train Plan Experiment To Economize on Operat- ing Expenses of "L" Road; Two Guards for Five Cars Northwestern "L" officials last week tried out the plan of having two guards on trains travelling through to the Linden avenue termin- al. The idea is part of a program of economy in operating costs, it is said. Britton I. Budd, head of the elevat- ed system, said a number of ex- periments would have to be made be- fore any final decision could be reached. A system in the New York subway that has appeared to give satisfaction and reduced operating expenses, is based on mechanical operation of the train doors and a semaphore signal scheme. Using this plan a ten-car train has been operated with two guards. "We have only begun to experi- ment in a small way," said Mr. Budd. "What the result may be cannot be foretold. In our test we used only two guards on a five-coach train. These stood between the first and second and the fourth and fifth coach gates. The two middle gates were locked. This meant that passengers could only enter at the front or rear doors." PRIZE LEGION TOWN More than one-eighth of the popu- lation of Radcliffe, Ia., is enrolled in the American Legion. The town has 156 ex-service men out of a population of 800 and every one of them is a member of the local Legion post. MANY NEW ROADS PLAN OF HIGHWAY BOOSTERS Good road enthusiasts throughout the state are showing much activity in the "boosting" of local improve- ments according to highway builders and they report that more roads will be built in Illinois. According to highway statistics there are more than 95,000 miles of roads in Illinois and there is agitation on foot to make some improvement on every mile in the state. Some of the roads, it is said, can be filled in sufficiently for travel dur- ing a good many months of the year, while others will be so improved that there need be but cessation of travel only during the worst winter months. Some of the mileage will be complet- ed as permanent highways. Most of the through route high- ways will be completed sufficiently to serve as "all the year round" roads. Organization of a number of trucking corporations to make regular schedule trips between towns has been com- pleted and charters have been aske for at Springfield. A far reaching benefit is predicted as the result of the road improvement activities by shippers, merchants, and automobile organizations. This "Earth" Largely Water. A trifle more than seven-tenths of the surface of the globe is covered by the waters of the oceans. The to- tal area covered by the latter exceeds the total area of the lands of the world by 83,000,000 square miles. Reckoned in terms of quantity, the oceans contain 324 cubic miles of fluid, or 14 times the bulk of all the lands in the world above sea level. WOMEN AT LEGION MEET More than 160,000 women, members of 3,400 units, will be represented at the first national convention of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion to be held at Kansas City silultaneously with the third national convention of the Legion October 31 to November 2. The Auxiliary has completed departmental organizations in more than thirty states. At the coming convention it will select a na- tional headquarters and perhaps a new name. Wilmette boasts one of the first Auxiliaries organized in the United States. So There!
