REAL AUTOMOBILE EPOCH
 IS TO BEGIN NEXT YEAR

tery. if necessary, but they point to the fact that the saving of a few hundred pounds in weight is of little importance in the construction of a wagon or truck designed to carry from 1000 to 10.00d pounds freight, so that there Is no ob- jection to the weight of the storage bat tery for such cars, while In smaller and lighter delivery wagons the difference in the wages of drivers skilled enough to operate gas motor as compared with the drivers of the simpler electric wagons counts again in favor of the electric type. Steam is seldom taken Into considera- ton in this country in the discussion of motive power for business vehicles. Abroad, however, it is the feature of great many curiously designed vehicles for farming and country road use.
 Trade interests have approached two more steps toward amalgamation in local automobile circles within the past few days. The Association of Licensed Auto mobile manufacturers, of which George H. Day has been elected president former Governor M. G. Bulkley of Hartford suc- ceeding him as head of the Electric Ve- hicle company, has strengthened its ranks by the admission of Smith & Mabley, agents and manufacturers, who have cap- itulated, as most of the leading manufac- turers did several weeks ago, to the Selden patent claims. By this latest move the association acquires an important control over the importation of vehicles from France anl Germany for sale on the New York market
 The second step toward closer organ ization Is the organization of the New York Automobile Trade association which will aim to secure uniform charges at repair and storage stations, uniform wages for professional engineers and the settlement of general trade disputes and controversies. very good subject to be taken up by the new association would be the introduction of a system of renting small electric, gas or steam run abouts to properly credited drivers at a reasonable price. Nothing would more quickly win new friends for the motor vehicle than such an opportunity to run them. It is one thing to be taken out'' in an auto; 1t is another, and decidedly more pleasant thing, to run the car your self. Thousands of New Workers would take a course of lessons to secure a ticket from the new trade association certifying to their eligibility as drivers if they could, after securing such a ticket, hire motor runabouts as they now hire livery horses. There will soon be a very strong demand upon the retailers that they take second hand cars in part pay ment for new. The old cars could be held at profit by a large central livery garage run on cooperative basis An other interesting field for discussion by the members of the new association is John Brisben Walkers contention that the rapid transit board should appro- priate money for the introduction of the motor stage as an important part of New York's traffic system.

important cases regarding newspaper subscriptions:
 T. Subscribers who do not give ex- press notice to the contrary are consid- cred as wishing to renew their subscrip- ton.
 2 If subscribers order the discontin- uance of their periodical the publisher may continue to send them until all ar rearages are paid
 g. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the postoffice to which they are directed they are re- sponsible until they have settled their bills and ordered the paper discontinued.
 A If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former address, subscribers are held responsible.
 5. The courts have decided that re- fusing to take periodicals from the office or removing and having them uncalIed for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.
 6. If subscribers. pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking 1t, otherwise the publisher Is authorized to send it and the subscriber be responsible until an express notice. with payment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher
 Y. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publisher can arrest any one for fraud who takes paper and refuses to pay for it. Under the law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time unpaid and then orders 1t discontinued, or, orders the post master to mark it refused and have a postal card sent notifying the publisher, leaves himself liable to arrest and fine. the same as for theft"

A TROLLEY GAR AMBULANCE,

From the Baltimore Herald.
 Connected with the Municipal lnfec- tious Disease hospital, which is to be built near Bayview. will be trolley car ambulance
 The plan Is to have this novel convey ance always ready for a call, and it will have carte blanche to use the United railways tracks anywhere within the city limits or suburbs.
 Assistant Health Commissioner Jones Is somewhat enamored of the car ambulance idea
 "It will be one of the best features of the hospital" declared he. Tt will be practically impossible to carry patients to Bayview In the ordinary hospital vehi- cle, yet even were the place in the heart of the city I would favor the trolley plan.
 "rhe car will be a sort of hospital on wheels, provided with all modern appli- ances for succoring the sick. There is no reason why it cannot be successfully Op- erated."

THE IDEAL UP>TO>DATE
 WIFE WELL PICTURED

From the Kansas City World.
 It is commonly remarked that the mod ern city wife has an easy time compared with what her mother had. And her grandmother's lot in life, with spinning, sewing, knitting and baking all to do at home is not generally considered with in reach of comparison.
 To the good old grandmother, who never knew how to sit with empty, idle hands, but was always busy and her work never done, the duties of the up-to-date housewife might look like mere play.
 Woman has got her full share of the benefits of this age of invention. Her work in providing for the family has been enormously lessened. Hardly anything but is bought ready-made.
 But let nobody conclude for these req sons that the modern city wife has noth- ing to do If she plays her full part she has more to do than her grandmother ever dreamed of doing.
 The modern husband is unlike the old one. He Is an exacting creature. His ideal wife-which happily for him he seldom gets-is an embodiment of all the graees, virtues and accomplishments.
 No longer is the husband satisfied with a gentle" unsophlsticated helpmeet with rosy cheeks and an ardent affec- tion for needlework and jam-making Domesticity is still good quality. but the up-to-date husband is, as a rule, fas- cinated by other and more meretricious traits.
 The modern wife must be smartly dressed and always presentable one must be able to talk intelligently on art music the drama and even politics and sciences She avoids such subjects as servants, her mother and the butcher s bill. She must have amusing things to say during dinner-frivolty-has been stated, is good for alimentary processes.
 She must be broad minded and tolerant, having grasped the necessity of matri- monial give-and-take She must have plenty of leisure and no ailments and ever be ready at a moments notice to fall in with her husbands plans.
 She must be robust and athletic, able for a forty-mile spin on a bicycle, to face a nor easter in an auto, to eat all kinds of indigestible things amiably and innocuously.
 She must be good natured and endure bores. She must have plenty of tact and know the right people to snub. Her grandmother never snubbed anybody, and in consequence was a much-sat-on creature
 The up-to-date man will not tolerate a nonentity as his wife. The limp and inconsequent sort are ruled out of the lists.
 She must be fond of children, but not inconveniently or aggressively absorbed in the nursery. She must have the sense and the denial when the children get contagious diseases to pack them off to a hospital and not infect the house and the neighborhood. get sick herself and spoil her temper and her good looks.
 She must. of course. have at least one accomplishment in which she really ex- cels. She must either sing. play the piano. dance. recite or act. better than anyone else in her set.
 Finally, the ideal wife must never grow a day older. She must never have a gray hair or flaw in her complexion.
 And to meet all these requirements makes her a buster woman than her grandmother ever was.

MAIL LETTERS ON MOVING CAR.

Washington Telegram to the Chicago
 Tribune.
 Officials of the postoffce department today conducted a practical test of the new postal system for the collection of letters by means of street railway cars while they are in motion. The device con- sists of a narrow letter box so arranged on the body of the car that at right-hand street crossings letters may be dropped into it while the car is running under e moderate speed.
 It practically provides a long and wide trough-like mouth on the side of the car, which is entirely without covering of any kind, so as to admit of a quick, vertical drop of the letter as the car glides by.
 To show that the mechanical arrange ments of the box will provide adequate protection for the mail from injury in rainy weather large quantities of water today were dashed against the car and into the mouth of the box before and after the letters were dropped into 1t, and they were taken out perfectly dry. It prac- tically was demonstrated that without stopping the car letters can be posted In the new mail receptacle with all conve- nience and safety.
