Physiognomy of the Salesman

same-the public got the worst OF 1t.
Various cities have made efforts to devise
some means Of testing taximeters, but to Uncle
Sam belongs the credit of first solving the prob
lem The system is now in successful operation
at the capital OF the nation. where. by the way
there probably more taxicabs in operation
than in any other city of the size in the world
The matter Of keeping tab on the taximeters was
placed in the hands of Col. W. c. Haskell, the
United States superintendent of weights and
measures and he invented the first machine spe-
cially designed for testing the accuracy Of the
taxi"
The first apparatus was rather cumbersome
and the most conspicuous feature was large
wooden wheel which was turned by hand The
principle of operation involved the insertion Of
small wire through the shaft Of the meter to be
tested and turning the same a certain number Of
times to cover distance, verifying this test over
an official mile and fraction thereof. The large
machine when fitted with the same size eccentric.

Stunning process ten revolutions of the large wheel
being required to show onequarter mile Of travel.
After much study of the subject Colonel Has
kell perfected the small machine which has lately
been introduced for this work. With 1t one revo-

direct to the shaft Of the meter to be tested
1t is possible to test ten meters In the time for

system of cogwheels is adjusted as to give an
absolutely accurate test. The government now
REQUIRES that all taximetsrs attached to cabs at
the seat of government be tested at least twice q
year, and when a meter upon test is found to be
accurate round blue seal is affixed to the face
of the meter showing that 1t has been ZAP
proved" Incorrect meters are given yellow
seal with the word Condemned" thereon and
must be withdrawn from use under a penalty Of
500 fine.
One Of the latest ideas evolved for safety
attachment for automobiles is Cow catcher"
The "cow catcher" or man catcher, Is attached
TO the front of the motor car and, when not in
active use saving the life Of some one who steps
in front of the moving machine. 1t looks exactly
like the pilot Of big locomotive. Used In this
way 1t was feared that pedestrians might be

drops the COW catcher so that it is similar to the
fender Of street car, adapted to catching the
unlucky person and carrying him with the ma
chine until rescued by the driver of the auto
mobile. According to the inventors OF this con-
trivance, the Cow catcher" will prevent many
serious accidents If placed the front of the
automobiles.
The frequency with which the claim is made
that the automobile is largely an extravaganza
and that the people have grown motor-mad and
are annexing themselves to power conveyances
with rapidity and lack of discretion that threat
the stability of the country. Is largely borne
out by the results of recent Investigations.
An editorial in a recent issue of the Worlds
Work, under the caption, Burning Both Ends OF
the Candle" makes the startling statement that
in the city of Minneapolis alone 1900 homes have
been mortgaged to enable their owners to pur'
chase automobiles. It is stated that about $685.
100000 represents what the people Of this coun.
try will spend for motor cars next year, and the
editorial adds that there are plenty of indca'
lions that 1t is time for the average American
to stop and think"
Look out Of your ONCE window, no matter
what city you are in and you will see an auto
mobile Try to cross the street and one of them
is more than likely to come along with sounding
horn warning the pedestrian to get out of the
way If man Is deaf little slow In his foot
steps he is too frequently run down and the
chauffeur sets up as a defense that the accident
was quite unavoidable. Every one knows that
more than half the unavoidable" accidents could
be avoided If the cars were run slower and more
attention was paid to the rights Of others in their
use Of the public streets. The automobile almost
monopozes the country roads and has become a
positive menace. 1t looms large in the annals
of accidents as reported by accident insurance
companies The secretary of state OF Indiana has
recently found that the automobile is also men
ace in q financial way. According to his report
covering the months of April and May, he issued
1854 licenses for automobiles for the two months.
Assuming an average of $1,000 for each caz. 1t
would of course appear that $3.564.000 had been
spent for automobiles in Indiana within period
of sixty days. The statement has been made that

: Public sentiment has decided that

In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-

such, however. will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel.
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares. are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" Tor this Panama Exposi-
ton, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center Of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius Of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000, 900.
Within radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 6,00O,000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with combined
population of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with a COM
bined population of just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent of the people Of
the United States could 60 to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi-
ton, and If held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or
leans in the contest.

likely to end in class conscious social

was amended, making it mandatory
on all officers to use the union label

conference. This will include reports
and literature to be distributed Mt the
