The Philadelphia apgineer who de.
vised the plan for railway motor to
run on an improved railway between
New York and Philadelphia has set the
whole world wondering. A picture OF
his proposed motor appeared recently
in THE BLADE. His railway Is to be
limited entirely to passenger traffic and
the tracks will be elevated the entire
distance. 1t will be built as nearly
straight as possible and there will be
no perceptible grading. Electricity
will furnish the motive power for pro.
polling the cars, and it is proposed to
make but two stops between the cities
the road is to connect.
The average speed OF the cars will be
a hundred and fifty miles per hour.
The time between New York and Phila-
delphia will be thirty-six minutes
This will include stoppages. The track
will be so smooth that the occupants OF
the cars will feel no jar while moving
ut the high rate OF speed. Al there
will be no locomotive attached ~ the
trains, there will be no smoke. Az this
track will be elevated, there will be no
dust entering the cars. All danger OF
accidents will be limited to the liability
Of the cars ITO jump the track" II -
believed there will be no danger from
that source. Should this road be con-
structed, IL would probably produce q
revolution in the transportation OF pas
sengers. It might cause the managers
OF all roads running through populous
sections to elevate their tracks. This
would secure speed and comfort and
would tend to prevent oil ordinary ac-
cidents.
The time will probably come whom
freight and passenger trains will run on
different tracks. Land on which to
construct railroads is constantly be-
coming more valuable. The state. Of
affairs that renders sixteen-story build
ings economical In some OF our cities
may make two-story railroad profit
able. Most OF the persons who lose
their lives at railway crossings ar
killed by passenger trains, for the rea-
son that they run at high. rate Of
speed.

To TAX C.lib..es in France.

M. Jules Simon has been giving hi,
opinion on the proposal to tax French
celibates. The total number In
France. counting from the age OF
twenty-four to tifty-nine, Is 1914, $50,
and out Of that number there are 1, $780,.
900 young women. He proposes that
II the law 10 voted the tax on celibates
shall not apply to ladies. It is prob.
able, he says, that vast number oil
the ladies in question have not been
asked to change their state OF single
blessedness, and it would be obviously
unfair to punish them for what in
reality was the fault OF others. M.
Jules Simon asks that the whole brunt
OF the law be directed against the I'M
fortunate 1928, 480 men, whom he con-
siders to be excellent material" for
taxation. Many politicians ask why
the limit OF age should stop at fifty
nine.

give her no money for wild-goose
chases,' he said. Well, her heart was
set on seeing her sister again, and she
just got q tub of butter out OF the

money to come to Boston with. Dear
me! it did my heart good to hear her
