BICYCLE AND TROLLEY.
Ehe Wheel Has Reached Its Highest
Point of Competition with
Street Railways.

A year ago some observations were
made in the city of Harrisburg. Pa,
with a view of showing the number of
persons riding wheels and the number
:iding in the cars. 1t was found that
during two days of October g.. per
cent. were bicyclists and 1928 per cent.
were car passengers. This year the
number counted al the same spot in the
same length of time included 1913 per
cent. on wheels and 4o.7 per cent. in
cars. The conclusion drawn is that the
bicycle is not so keen a competitor Of
the street cars as it was year ago.
Another of the conclusions drawn is in
teresting. OF the 5.s19 persons counted
this year 40 passed between the
hours of twelve noon and two p. m, of
whom 1925 were on wheels and 442 in
cars. or 20 per cent. on wheels and 80
per cent. in the cars. This indtcat ties
clearly that the clerk and the laborer
in going to and from their work use the
wheel quite generally. But the figures
bearing on the use of the wheel during
other hours of the day go to show that
fewer persons are using the wheel as a
source of pleasure. This deduction is
confirmed in many country districts,
where the bicycle is now used far more
as a means of travel than simply for eX-
ercise. The opinion has been expressed
that the wheel has reached the highest
point of competition with the street
railway.

aid to the kidneys that is known to
medical science.
DIR. kilmer, the eminent physician
and specialist, has attainedsa far-famed
reputation through the discovery and
marvellous success of Swamp-Root in
purifying the blood, and thereby cur
ing chronic and dangerous diseases,
caused by sick kidneys, of which some
of the symptoms are given below.
Pain or dull ache in the back or head,
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness.
dizziness. irregular heart, sleepless-
ness, sallow complexion, pimples,
blotches, skin troubles, dropsy, irrita-
bility, loss of am bit ion, obliged to pass
water often during the day, and to get
upmany times at night, and all forms of
kidney, bladder and uric acid troubles
Swamp-Root is sold by all dealers, in
fifty-cent or one dollar bottles. Make
note of the name, SWAMP-ROOT, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and remem Der it
is prepared only by DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, y. 7.
The great discovery Swamp-Root has
been tested in so many ways, in hospital
work, in private practice among the
helpless too poor to purchase relief,
and has proved so successful in every
case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this
paper who have not already tried it,
may have sample bottle sent absolute
ly free by mail, postpaid. Also book
telling more about Swamp-Root and
containing some of the thousands upon
thousands of testimonial letters re-
ceiyed from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative prop

plate springs are so arranged that the
outer end of the long arm of one spring
shall overlap the outer end of the
short arm of the second spring in adj
vance. Two sets of coiled springs are
arranged around the rim and disposed
in alternate series One set is secured
to the points where the plate springs
are bent and fastened TO the rim. The
other set is secured to the points yehere
the arms of the plate springs overlap.
The tire consists of a covering of rub
Der thickened at its middle or tread
portion, as shown in Fig. 2. Beneath
the tread of the tire strip of cork is
secured, which is designed to prevent
the moisture, which might possibly
penetrate the tread of the tire, from
corroding the springs. The edges of
the tire are seated in rabbetS upon fat
packing rings of rubber, likewise de-
signed to prevent the entrance of moist
ure. To secure the tire to the rim, fat
spring-metal bands through which
bolts are passed are employed. The
bands are made in sections to permit
the removal of any segment, shoAld it
become necessary to repair a bsoken
spring.
Tires thus made may be used on BIZ
cycles and other vehicles. Should one
of the springs become broken the tire
will not collapse, but will still be re-
tanned in position by the remaining
springs

An Evidence of Prosperity.

It is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the. great arteries of railway
travel are sure indicationEof it's condition.
A depression in commercial lines mean
abandoned business trips and the cancella.
ton of pleasure travel, while healthy coz
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the
Lake Shore Limited" the star train of the
Vanderbilt system, between New York and
Chicago, which is daily comfortably filed.
With view to taking the best possible care
of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this
train by placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur
days. To. the regular traveller the appoint
ments and comforts of this train are well
known, but if you have never made trip
on it, you owe it to yourself to see and en-
JOY the advance made in comfort and lux
ury in modern railway travel. Remember
the fare is no higher on this train, except
between New York and Chicago, while the
accommodations and service place this par
ticular train conspicuously at the head OF
the list, when compared with other lines

PRO BONO PUBLICO.
Bicyclers Living at Prague, Bohemia
Have to Undergo a Rigid
Examination.

The American wheelman should con-
graduate himself that he is not subject
to the laws in force at Prague, which
regulate and prescribe the proper use of
the bicycle, according to the ideas en-
tertained of the matter by the author
tiles of that Bohemian city.
Those desiring to use the bicycle
there must first get and pay for Ii
eense, after which the applicants mott
fed to appear before the board of police
for medical examination. If his physic-
al condition is such that riding would
entail consequences injurious to his
health a license is refused him.
If, on the contrary, the examination
results favorably, he is then compelled
to give>a public display of his proficien-
cy as rider. If he SHES, or tumbles, or
wobbles. or exhibits cratic tendencies
to gowhere he does not intend, or other
wise manifests symptoms dangerous to
the safety and destructive to the peace
of mind of the public, he gets no license.
If, however. he displays satisfactory
evidences of his skill, his likeness is
taken by the official photographer, and
his license given him. License and like
ness must then be pasted in little
book, to be always in the riders posses
sion, when disporting himself on his
wheel, and to be always produced when
police exigencies require it, Obviously,
personal and general good are not for
gotten in Prague! - Youths Com
