TO AID CITY'S TRAFFIC.
Proposition to Encircle Waterfront
7cith EIeratcd Structure.

Alexander r. Smith a former member OF the
New York Commerce Commission. writing under
the caption New Yorx's Congested Commerce"
urers' Board of Trade of New York. says that an
elevated structure along the waterfront of Manhat-
would be the best possible remedy for the con-
gestion of this city's increasing traffic. He
recommends that ION the side of city
along the waterfront. a four six track elevated
structure be erected. capacous enough to accom-
modate both freight and passenger traffic. and that
underneath this elevated structure the space be in
closed with concrete walls and utilized for
house purposes, except where access to the piers
and wharves is necessary" That is the only posi-
Bile solution of the problem of the downtown freight
tracks of the New York Central, in Mr.. Smiths
opinion.
by this means the contents of the could be
loaded or unoaded directly into the ships
saws Mr. Smith, las Is done in practically every
other great port the world over, and as is now
done to a large extent a1oat alongside the ships
from, cars loaded upon Carfoats. This elevated
structure also could ultimately effect the elimina
tion Of the larger part OF the truCkage now car
ried on between the wharves and the interior
bousas and the wholesale and retail houses thus
exnediting and greatly Cheapening the handling
of commerce upon Manhattan Island
Mr. Smith thinks that similar structure on the
East Side would in a large part relieve the daily
crush at BROOKLYN Bridge, by giving easy access
20 all the ferries especially. he says. If the city
should buy the East River ferries and make them
free for the use of passengers, the bridges

nTHE LINE Is BUSY"

One of the mysteries of Central" to most
telephone users is how the operator can tell
so quickly when "the line is busy" There are
still q few people, perhaps, who believe that
she does not know, but simply reports a num-
Der as busy to save herself trouble But any
body who uses the telephone very much is
perfectly well aware that the circuit is not re-
ported as being IN use unless it really is in
use. It is "good business" for the telephone
company to establish conversation whenever
it is in any. way possible to do so; and nobody
questions but that he telephone, company is
getting all the business it can.
When you call up Central she connects
herself with your line by means of a "cord"
on the end of which is b rlug that fits
closely into the 'jack" or switch socket in
which your lint terminates in the switchboard.
The connection cords are arranged in pairs,
and when you give the opers tor the number
tfthe telephone with which you want to talk
Nh takes the second cord of the pair she is
using for your cali and touches the tip Of the
brass ping at the end of tito the Jack" OF
the line you require. If the circuit is already
connected up in some other part of the board
the operator hears "a clicking noise in her
head telephone; then, Of curse she reports
to you that the Zine is busy" If there is no

warning click when she. touches the "iack''
she pushes the connecting plug In and rings.
The telephone is frequently used in q great
hurry, and sometimes . person whose mind
for the n oment is distracted negiects to ring
off when he is through talking. The result is
that Central" does not get a signal to dis
connect the call, and it may be . minute or
more before she finds out that the circuit is
no longer e~ngaged-which, failing to get any
signal she can do only by connecting herself
with the line 80 she can hear whether or nof
anybody is talking. Meanwhile, il anybody
else calls either of the lines tn at were used in
the conversation they will naturally, be told
that it is busy. Such a state of affairs is I'M
doubtedly the ct Sc of quite a percentage Of
the ssbasy reports in some exchanges.
A M cause OF l"busys reportsv than
most people realize is the large number. of
subscribers who take party-1ine service, espe-
cia1ly at their residences. The particular
person you want toareaeh may not be using
his telephone when you call for it, but if there
are other subscribers on the same circuit the
line may be busy just the same and
your friend may not know that it is
That is why sometimes when Central
tells you "the line is busy" your friend will
say afterwards that he doesn't understand
how that could be, because he wasn't using
the telephone at all at the time you tried to
call him. '|se

CATaRRH is Durable.
Successful Experiments in Abat-
ing and Curing This Disease.

Successful Experiments in Abat-
ing and Curing This Disease.
Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated
for a single day now that Hyomei is
so generally known and has made SO
many cures in Barton and other
towns.
Until comparatively recent times
catarrh was thought to be a blood
disease and stomach dosing the only
treatment. Modern science finally
d%isproved this idea of the cause of
catarrh, and found that it was a germ
disease, and, after many experiments,
the remedy was decided to be Hyomei.
Hyomei medicates the air you
breathe; it kills the catarrhal germs;
it heals the smarting and raw Nom
branes of the passages in the nose
and throat; it cures all catarrhal
troubles.
As there is life and health in the air
in the mountain-tops where the pine
forests give off their fragrant and
healing balsams, so there is life and
health in breathing Hyomei. There
is no need of suffering from catarrh
il the simple and natural treatment
of Hyomei is used.
So sure is this prescription to cure
even the worst cases Of catarrh, that
