 West

All the New Orleans papers unite in paying the highest testimonials to the talent of Grace George and her supporting company in "A Woman's Way" which was presented in that city all last week. The company is shortly to be seen in this city and from the character of the press notices during the season, it's appear ance should be a dramatic treat The Picayune says:

same-the public got the worst of it.
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 are probably more taxicabs in operation
than in any otlzer 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-
cialIy designed for testing the accuracy OF the
taxi"
The first apparatus rather cumbersome
and the most conspicuous feature was a large
wooden wheel which 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 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,
sprocket wheel and spiral shaft in use ~ taxi
cabs gave correct test, but 1t was time-con-
Stunning process ten revolutions Of the large wheel

After much study of the subject Colonel Has

been introduced for this work. With it one revo-

direct to the shaft Of the meter to be tested
1t is possible to test ten meters in the time for
merly required for trying out Moreover the
system Of cogwheels is adjusted as to give an
absolutely accurate test. The government now
requires that all taximeters attached to cabs at
the seat of government be tested at least twice
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 it has been ZAP
proved Incorrect meters are given yellow

must be withdrawn from use under a penalty OF
