doubled, but each space would reach from
three to five times as many people as it
would before it began it's peregrinations,
It ought to be worth at least twice as
much money to the advertiser. So he fig
ured some.
An ordinary street car has sixteen adj
vertIsing cards on each side. or thirty-two
to the car. These sell for 30 cents per
month each, or a car brings in the sale OF
advertising space SIC per month the old
way. BY introducing the endless belt sys-
tenn, there would be siNty-four spaces,
the same size. in a car OF the same length,
and actual experience has since shown that
the advertiser would rather pay 81 per
month for an advertisement which moves
on the belt along the entire length of the
car than to pay 80 cents a month for the
s~tanding-still kind. The inventor ascer-
tanned that expense for rental to the street
railway company, for soliciting, collecting,
printing, etc, the cost Of operating under
! the old system was about 81 per car per
month, leaving a net profit to the con-
Germ handling the street car advertising of
$12 per car per month. Even II the ex-
| penses under the new method were doubled
and figured at IS per car per month, that
sun substracted from S4 per month left a
right smart profit, especially when he found
there were upwards of $1,000 street cars
in the United States besides a considerable
number in foreign countries, all carrying
advertising.
So Kharas pinched himself a few times tc
see II II could be true, then applied for g
patent on his device, and while awaiting
the slow grinding of the patent mill, Sc
about promoting companies to handle the
! enormous street car advertising business o
this and other countries. BY working
nineteen hours n day for a year he has or
ganized and incorporated sixteen car sig1
companies in different parts of the country
these having a total caitalization o
100000 These companies now own tn
street car advertising concessions o.
thirty-efght electric railway systems In tn

ing and comprehensive patent was issued
to him bv the United States government,
and others in this and foreign countries are
now pending. Imitators tried to get In
their work and failed. Men in his employ
as machinists in different parts of the
country changed his plans against his in
structions. for he could not be in several
places at once, and tried to make his de-
vice impractical, but were fired for their
pains. Later on, they tried to steal his
idea and get patents rushed through be-
fore his was issued, but in all this they
failed, for he had carefully covered every
part Of his invention and is fully pro-
tected. These commercial hyenas, of
course. were acting under the advice and
in the pay Of the moneyed men back of
them, and to make their p~iratical employers
believe they were doing their best, and
in order to distract attention from their
ignominious failures, they raised the cry
of wolf! wolff but there was nothing
doing. Kharas smiled as serene.y as ever
and kept right on working day and night.
The knockers called for more help to down
him, as they had lost their support. Loud
and long they called for succor, but no
more suckers came. So, at last, like the
Arab. they folded their tents and silently
stole away, there being nothing else to
steal.
The inventor has written and published
several attractive booklets describing his
invention, the two most popular being,
The Evolution Of an Idea and, Tive
Blades of Grass These have run through
several editions and are well worth read
ing by anyone interested in any part OF
the car-sign business.

written for The Bee by ]. NJ. Hyland.)
The author Of "Gulliver's Travels" said
that the man who made two blade of
grass grow where but one grew before
was esteemed to be worth more to his
country than all the politicians in the
land" Omaha has a man who has made
two street car advertising signs grow
where but one grew before.
About this time last year when Theodore
Kharas, formerly a physician, but who
chafed under the restrictions Of profess
Bional ethics because he was not allowed to
advertise, and who, for that reason, quit
his practice and vert into the real estate
business, used to sit in his office with a
faraway dreamy look In his Alice-blue eyes.
his friends that he was contemplating run
ming for office. Not so. He was evoluting
an idea. He was becoming the fond father
OF a new wrinkle. He was iEventing the
moving car sign.
Being by nature, an advertiser, 1t had
occurred to him that II there could ever
be devised any method of publicity by
which the advertiser could have a sure
thing, -" could really and truly reach any
certain class of people without missing
any Of them. II preferred position" and
some hit-and-miss features OF advertising
methods might be, eliminated in some man
ner, the man who did that thing would
have a sure enough bonanza. He knew
that street car advertising must be good
for the advertising spaces in all the cars
were continually full OF advertising signs
But there was a drawback. The street cal
advertiser was trying to reach with his at
tractiveiy printed, cieyerly worded adver
m all the people all the time, whei
It was a physical impossibility for all o.
the people to so locate themselves in
street car where they could see all of tn
advertisements all of the time.
Then the idea occurred to him that If al
advertising sign could be made to trave
the fun length of the car. all the passenger
could see It because II would pass the en-
tire congregation over and over, and be
cause of it's behaving so unseemly as I

Problems for COunciImen
to Solve,

The meeting of the city council this even
ing will be the most important of the year
so far as the interest of the taxpayers
goes. The judiciary committee must report
on the appropriation ordinance. The whoIe
budget of city expenses will be included
For this reason it is anticipated the meet
ing will attract considerable attention. TINS
meeting is of more than usual interest be-
cause the mayor and council, under the ad-
vice of the legal department, are wrestling
with the proper Interpretation of the city
charter. Under a certain construction II IS
advanced that the city can pay the salaries
separately from the fund for general eX-
penses, but, on the other hand, this is a
radical departure from previous construc-
ton placed on the wording of the charter.
II it were not for the overlap of $4,000 left
in the form of unpaid bills from the eXtray-
agencies of the last administration it is
possible that the city might be able to con-
! tinue under the former construction of the
charter, but these old claims must be met
in one form or another. 1t is the difficult
ties in connection with these problems
which have been racking the brains of the
city officials during the last week. The
charter provides that the appropriation or
dlnance must be introduced and passed be.
fore July 10. This required prompt action
at the meeting tonight. There can be nc
further delays. These consideration vii
overshadow all other matters before tht
