This is a picture of new sub
subway car which has just been
given try-out, and which is de-
signed to bring subways within the
reach of cities of 100000 inhabi-
tants.
The New Yorw subways and the
London tubes" cost so much to
build that only the enormous traf-
fic of very large city will make
them pay. For example the New
York subway is IA feet deep and
% feet wide, and it Is far below
the surface of the street, in many
cases being tunneled instead of of
open excavation.
The car shown here was de-
signed by A. B. du Pont, traction
expert of st. Louis, Detroit. Brook
Ign, Cleveland and Louisville. His
experimental half-mile track is in
Cleveland. The du Pont subway is
only eight feet deep and IS feet
wide, and carries a double track.
In order to save space the car is
swung between the trucks instead
of set upon them. This prevents
the car from swaying and two cars
can pass each other at 60 miles an
hour with a side-clearance of less
than four inches. The floor of
| the car is only four inches above
the rails, and the roof Of the car
comes within three inches of the
roof of thetunnel.
The car is 6h feet high. inside
| measurement, just enough to
clear tall mans hat. II has 16
seats, facing each other in pairs,
| each seating four passengers, or
"a to the car. There is just knee
| room zetween the seats. When the
car stops the motorman presses a
pneumatic lever and 16 glass and
steel doors slide SILENTLY back so
| that the whole side of the car is
! open, and the passengers can all
get out in less than two seconds.
At the same time 16 doors open on
| the other side to take in new pas
| sengers.
Instead of being tunneled or dug
deep in the ground, the new sub
way is just under the pavement.
Floor, sides and top will be con-
crete. Instead of a third rail an
ordinary trolley wire is used set
down the middle of the track in an
insulated trench. The frame of
| the car is, mechanically, a bridge
truss with ends resting on the
trucks. The top and floor are Of

The above drawing shows by
what a narrow margin Mayor
Gaynor escaped almost instant
death by the bullet of the assassin.
Had the bullet varied fraction of
an inch one way or another, he
would almost inevitably have bled
to death in a few minutes.
The head is supplied with
blood by two great arteries, the
carotids, and drained by four
great veins, the jugulars. Eacn of
the carotids forks, forming lesser
arteries, called the internal and
external carotids. The jugulars
lie in pairs on either side of the
neck, the internal jugulars drain

draining the face.

GREEN RIVER
HOTEL BURNS
(By United Press Leased Wlre)


GREEN RIVER HOT SPRINGS.
Wash. Aug. 20.-The Green River
Hot Springs hotel and sanitarlum is
in ruins today, destroyed by fire
last night, started by burning
brands from nearby forest fires
that ragged all day yesterday.
The resort is complete loss.
The hotel had been closed for re-
pairs and only few guests who
had arrived in the past few days
were in the building.
The loss is a severe blow to the
owners who bought the property
last Tuesday. The Pacific National
bank and F. s. Harmon of Tacoma
at that time formally transferred
it to stock company consisting
of E. W. Dooley, w. H. Patterson,
G. o. Talbert and c. B. Hunt Of
North Yakima and w. A. Lemke of
Bremerton.
The new company paid $4,000
for the property and had planned
to spend $4,000 in repairs.

Joe Climbers of Southington.

He said that while it was a deli

not assuage his grief.
When he arose he hadn't stitch
