of people hoping against hope that a
car would hove into sight or some
means Of transportation would offer
itself. At the North Woodward rail-
road station large number OF State
Fair excursionists who had come into
the city for the day stood around the
corner Of woodward and Amsterdam
ayes. and wondered what they would
do and where they would go.
Disappointment was written large on
everybody's face and Riddles stood dis
consolately beside lunch baskets and
boxes while pa and ma talked it over.
The Ford Motor Car Co. brought out
all the completed stock cars they had
on hand, and for which they could get
drivers. and carried hundreds OF per-
sons to work who were tramping down
town on woodward-ave. Along Jeffer-
son-ave. the Hupp, Chalmers and Hud-
son testers were out, several hundred
OF them, carrying people to work.
Speed laws were forgotten, and the
avenues with the madly rushing ma
chimes resembled a great speedway.
About $3.50 sightseeing coaches be-
gan a service from the North Grand
blvd. down town, charging 25 cents

Thousands "Westonize'
From Home to Work

There was lots Of good humor and
lots OF grouches as the world and his
stenographer westonized from home
to work. Wednesday morning. Men
and women who rarely walk farther
than a half block, got mp steam and
exercised a torpid liver by a hike
Of from one to Ave miles. Few reach

MANY did not know OF the stoppage

them. The brilliant sunshine ana
beautiful September air made the ear
Iy morning walk one OF delight rather
than hardship and in the main good
natured acceptance Of the situation
predominated.
The meanest man In town was vot-
ed, he who drove an automobile with
vacant seat. Many auto owners
made the most of the occasion ana
charged anywhere from a dime TO a
dollar for a ride downtown. Lots OF
them braved the uncomplimentary re-
marks OF the crowds by driving along
with empty tonneau. Others with the
milk of human kindness flowing asked
men and women they had never seen
before to ride with them. Every sort
OF vehicle was pressed into service
from the "rubberneck" coaches to
small express wagons. Pretty stenog-
raphers were glad 10 accept the invi-
tation OF the grinning driver OF a dirty
truck to climb aboard. Nearly every
automobile that held passengers at all
was crowded and "lap-holding" was
quite the fashion. An open electric OF

also making regular trips to the

The only suburban cars running
are those of the Rapid Railway, the

are turning at the city limits. The
crews of the Rapid Railway and the
In. ]. & c. are composed Of union men,
but they belong TO divisions other
than No. %, and are not involved IN
the strike for that reason. The en-
ployes of the ID. NJ. & t. are not or
ganized, but many of them are union
men. One or two Toledo cars came
into the city early in the morning,
but at the request OF union pickets
took their cars back to the city
limits.
The first intimation many citizens
had that a strike had been declared
was when they reached their respec-
tive car lines and saw the streets fill-
ed with pedestrians. Those who were
not fortunate enough to have friends

citizens formed parties and pro-rated

With very few exceptions, owners
OF machines were only too willing to
give their less fortunate neighbors a
lift. Til man who took his car down
empty was regarded as curiosity
and the things the walking hordes
said about him, were not compliment
tary.

STRANGE HOBBY OF A KING
Late Ruler Of Slam Had Passion for
Collecting Empty Match Boxes of
All Nations.

The late king Of Siam had an ex-
traordinary hobby-that Of collect
ing empty match boxes Of all ma
tons. In this connection an inter
essting story j Rgi2tGd;, During one
Of his visits to this country the king
while passing down Bond street one
afternoon, accompanied by two men,
bers of his suite, espIed an empty
match box which had been discarded
by its owner and thrown away into
the middle of the thoroughfare,
Without a moments thought the
monarch dashed into the middle of
the crowded traffic, grasped the
much-coveted treasure and was
nearly run over by a passing cab.
The fact, however, that he was able
to add a new specimen to his collec-
tion-gathered under such circum-
stances-more than compensated
him for the risk which he had run.

A japanese correspondent writes
in the current issue Of Our Dumb

cruelty to animals exists in his coun-
try, "due more to Ignorance than to
malice" there is a growing senti-
ment toward betterment in that di-
rection. In the course Of his letter,
Masujiro Honda says: "Memorial
services were held for the horses
killed and wounded both in the Chi
nese and the Russian war, and a
Buddhist priest is travelling all over

PHOTOGRAPHS OF DIGESTION
N-Ray Moving Pictures Are Taken in
Paris Which Clearly Show the
Entire Process.

j. Carvallo Of the Marcy institute,
Paris, France, has recently succeeded
in making cinematograph X-ray pic
lures showing the process of diges-
ton both in warm and cold blooded
animals. The value of these results
is obvious, as these moving pictures
gave us an actual view of the in
terror workings of the human body,
and for the first time physicians have
been able to see an absolutely re-
liable reproduction Of our organs in
action.
Many attempts have been made to
produce this result, but they have
failed because Of the difficulty ex-
p~erienced in obtaining the Roentgen
pictures with exposures lasting but
a small fraction of a second also be-
cause no suitable cinematographic
apparatus was available for pro
ducing the pictures.
The animals under test were fec

No more will the yengeful housewife
pursue it with murderous intent and

determination. The cockroach has
been proved a public benefactor.
Moreover, it has beaten the wisest

the brain failed. Many a mind has
been wrecked in striving to think
out a method for getting the best
Of the gas meter. But from the here
tofore unknown precincts of Wash

discovery Of the age. A representa-
tive of the local gas company there
became suspicious Of the meager re-
suits from the records of q certain
meter in a business establishment in
that place. He examined the meter
and found the meter literally full Of
cockroaches, which had so interfered
with the working of the meter that
the gas bill jumped up from about
$40 a month to something like $2e
after the reaches we're removed.
There will be a steady demand fol
that particular breed of cockroacl
from now on, and societies for tn
propagation Of them will be organ
lied. Then the law will be invoked
to establish a close season with
penalty for killing a single cock
