journal Special Service.

Cleveland, April 2s.-Mayor- Tom L.
johnson has invented a motor that, in
recent tests, developed the theoretical
speed of 400 miles an hour. The mayor
hopes with his invention to give the
world system of rapid transit that
will revolutionize all means of travel
The car is built to run on an over
head track. At the highest rate of
speed Of which the motor is capable,
wheels would fly to pieces. Shoes take
their place. Powerful magnets take up
the weight of the car and minimize
the friction. -
Windows in such car would be un-
necessary, for scenes would change fast,
er than the eye could catch the image
The motorman would have to look thru
a thick glass bullseye.
Stops at stations would have to be
automatic, otherwise the station would
be passed before the motorman could
see, it. Head-on coz ision- would be

Of washing stuff, the gored models are
much more satisfactory and patterns
for these can be obtained with the
modish flare about the bottom.
The vogue of the circular skirt has
led to the fashion for fiat skirt trim
mings. These sometimes take the
form of stitched bands of the material
or silk, while braids of one or several
kinds are often interlaced in design
about the bottom. Another mode of
skirt trimming much used Is con-
secutive rows of shaped dounces, one
overlapping the other and often ending
at each side of the front panel. one
might almost say that the front panel
in unbroken length from waistband to

When bands of the same fabric as

are usually piped with a contrasting
color; the tunic and f1ounce being often
suggested by the manner in which
these are applied.
