RAPID TRIPS TO GOTHAM
PREDICTED BY JOHNSON

Cleveland, March 3o.-Mayor Tom
l.. Johnson told OF rapid transit in the
future as he believed it would be to
the members of the Cleveland Civil
Engineers Club at their annual ban
quet, He predicted trip from Chi
cago to New York over sort Of
toboggan slide electric railroad in two
hours. 1t has long been an open Sc
cret that the magistrate has been am
bilious to perfect a device for annihil-
ating time in rapid transit. For sew
eral years lie has been working on the
hobby along strictly original lines until
at last he has reached a place in his
plans where he ventures hint as to
the method Of the invention.
The engineers work" the mayor
said, rs one of the essentials of mod
ern life. That is, we could not do
without him. For instance, do you
think that we will be satisfied with a
twenty hour schedule between New
York and Chicago? By no means. AL
though wheels and track will not allow
speed of more than 200 miles all
hour, believe that many OF you IN
this room will see the time when two
hours and better between the two cities
will be commonplace That will be
less than half the speed of a cannon
ball. 1t can and will be done much
quicker than you think"

RICHMOND AFTER THE T.
RECORD FOR PRuDERY

|, Washington, March 3o.-For long
time Washington has been the greatest
prude among American cities, and this
prudery has been best illustrated in its
official attitude toward theatrical bill
boards. There are several low-toned
vaudeville theatres here. and every bit
of paper which they put UP for bill
board purposes is inspected by the city
authorities with careful eye. Ballet
dancers, with abbreviated skirts, for
instance, arc tabooed, and when the
big posters suggest anything OF this
kind, directions are given that all that
part of the female figure below the
waist line is to be covered over with
large sheets OF white paper.
Recently this prudery took the form
OF forbidding the posting OF an adyer-
tisement calling attention TO a we'll
known make of American corset. The
figure was that of a female, rear view
She was completely clothed, except
for the outside dress He long skirts
swept the ground with a train, and
folks began to wonder why the district
commissioners had forbidden the figure
to be posted There was no sugges-
|tion OF neither limbs, nor was there
anything about the figure that was uil-
like corset advertisements as one IS ac-s
|customcd TO seeing in the news
|papers and magazines and in the depart
|inent stores. Finally, some knowing
Iperson called attention to fle fact that
the retreating lady OF the advertise
ment showed a small portion of her
shoulders and the. middle Of her back,
and the lower half OF her arms, and
it is on that account that
she was placed on the unfair list. The
figure, BY the way, possessed good
ideal OF artistic merit. 1t was drawn

Glad laughter is usual, and merry

to give a child willingly and without
urging everything he asks for that
will not iniure him mentally, morally
or physically, and that will not inter-
fere with the rights and feelings of 9TH

But having decided that to grant
request would infiict injury on the

Immediately; and no amount of per-
suasion should induce them to change

is sure to be final, and he will acquire
the habit of accepting the situation
