70 vENTILATE STREET CAR
1nvsntdon Of Brooklyn Health on
c~ oaid 10 Work Well Without r
Causing Chilling Draft. -~<

A simple method for effectually ven
tilating street cars without causing q
draft has been devised by DR.. Walker
chief of the health department ol
Brooklyn. Confronted with the prob
lem Of providing for the 1ngress Of
fresh air and the egress of foul ail
without subjecting tho passengers to
a chilling drangt, Dr.. Walker sought
tho simplest possible means. He had
two openings made In the deck
SASH Of car about ten inches apart
into which were lifted stats to defect
the intake of air to the root Of tho car
Between these openings a shingle wa
extended from the side Of the car sc
the wind would strike against It when
the car was in motion.
The principle on which DR.. Walker
proceeded was that air would strike
the front Of the shingle and be defect.
ed into the car, while dust, cinders
etc., would fall to the ground Stimuli
taneOusly the forward motion would
create a vacuum in the rear which
would suck out the vitiated air of the
car through the rear stats. The cold
fresh air introduced would sink to-
ward the floor and the heated, the viii.
ated air would rise and pass out.
He had rags and refuse burned in
the car until the atmosphere was rem
deted absolutely unbearable. The ca!
was then set in motion at the average
rate of speed. Is to 18 miles an hour
and DR.. Walker reports that within
two minutes and 80 seconds the all
within was absolutely fresh and pure
It IL estimated that during the time
the car was in motion 800 cubic fee,
Of air minute came into the opening
in the front and similar amount wai
exhausted in the rear. The absence OF
draft to which passengers would
have been subjected was particularly
noticed, az the progress of the fresh
air to the bottom Of the car was sc
gradual it could not be detected by q
lighted taper.

NEGRO REALTY COMPANY.
Race Prejudice 1nstigatss Formation
Of Organization in New York
to Combat the Evil.

TO combat race prejudice against
negro tenants in white districts, the
Afro-American Realty company has
started an aggressive campaign in
New York city. Negro real estate op-
orators and investors organized the
company recently with q capital stock
OF $500,0O0. They have subscribed for
100000 and the remaining $4OO, 900 Is
offered to negro capitalists at SO 4
share.
THE idea that negroes must be con-
fined to certain localities can be done
away WITH" says the prospectus. so
can the idea that it is not practical to
put colored and white tenants together
In the same house. Race prejudice is
a luxury. and. like all other luxuries,
1t can be made very expensive With
a cash capital of 100000 the Afro.
American Realty company can turn
race prejudice into dollars and cents. "
The company owns four flve-story
flats valued at 1926, 900 and holds ten
other fiat houses under five-year
leases. 1t has opened luxurious Of
fices in the Boreel building. In the
same building are the offices of many
brokers, including the headquarters
OF the board of real estate brokers.
All OF the company's officers, direc.
tors aid clerks are negroes. The CON-
pany appeals to the negro investors
exclusively. The prospectus says:
Income property in this city, when
properly managed. will pay from Is to
rs per cent. on the dollar, with $780,
600 in this manner invested, even If
we never resold any Of our holdings at
q profit"

MAIL BY HELLO ROUTE.
Postmasters May Be Permitted to Tel
ephone to Farmers.

Washington, May 2-The postoffice
department is getting nearer to the peo-
pie of the country districts. Uncle
Sans rural mail carriers number 10000,
and with the uncovered sections of the
country demanding recognition, no one
proposes calling a halt until every
American farmer receives his mail at
his door daily. Postal officials are con-
fident, too, that the day is not far dis
tant when the rural telephone will be-
come an important factor in the deliv-
cry of 'hurryup letters"
Congress thus far has declined to rec
ognize the telephone system as a part
of the postal machinery, but, notwith-
standing its refusal, it is being brought
into use daily in many rural communi-
ties by the farmers who cannot even
Fairbanks planned to have congress au-
thorize the use of the telephone in the
delivery of special letters addressed to
country districts. He proposed that a
special stamp should be printed, sold for
ten cents, and that when a postmaster
received a letter bearing one of these
stamps he should open it, reading it's
contents over the telephone to the farm
er to whom the communication was ad-
dressed.
Some of the senators objected to this
plan because they feared it might COM
nit the government to a policy that
would compel it to pay large annual
rentals to telephone companies. But
many men in the postal establishment
say the new step is coming. Indeed, it
is already here unofficially. By secur-
ing permission from the department, a
rural postmaster may now arrange with
his patrons out in the country to open
their letters and read the contents to
them over the phone and farmers who
nave city interests that demand care
full watching are making use of the per-
mission. Possibly congress at the next
session will put the official stamp on
