"SEVEN-FERS' ARE
BIG MONEY SAVERS
Detroiters Profited To Tune Of
$2,315,223 Up to End of Last
Year, Says Bemis

Prof. Il. w. Bemis includes In his
ID. U. r. appraisal figures data which
shows that under the Aug. agree
ment. which provides for the seven
tickets now In use on the
so-called hve-cent lines. the saving 10
car riders from Aug. 10, 1915, to Dec
81. 1914. total of 504 days. amounts
to the surprising total OF S2.315,223.11
The saving per day for that period IL
$4,593.69, or $4,293.6e net after the
$500 per day rental, which was dis
continued when the Aug. Z agreement
was accepted, is deducted.
The average fare per revenue pas
senger. according to Prof. Bemis. foi
the period from Jan. 1 TO Aug. IA
1913. before the agreement went into
effect, was S.04649769 on the five-ceni
lines. and $.0S74OS99 ON the three
cent lines, or an average for the en-
tire city OF $.043S1326. Under the
agreement during period OF 604 days
the average rate of fare on the five
cent lines has been reduced Il
S.0s6Ss360, and on the three-cent lines
to $.0S474911, or an average for the
entire city OF S.086314S9, thus show
ing that the seven-for-a-quarter tick
cts have tended TO reduce the rate Of
fare materially ON the threecent al
well as the nve-cent lines. This ID
explained by the fact that on three
cent line the seven-for-a-Quarter tickle,
10 now used instead of straight five
cent fare when transfer Is wanted
to q fve-cent line. and also that the
eight-for-a-Quarter tickets on the Pin

the seven-for-a-quarrer tickets. as fear

Motor pi.hwashino.

A recent invention that Modern Me
chanics tells of is a motor-driven dish
washer. OF course, in large hotels
dishes have long been washed by ma
chinery under hot water jets. but this
invention is for the family kitchen, al
though the larger size is made for
restaurants and hotels. There is
container which holds wire trays in
which the dishes are placed. This is
filled with hot huds. At the bottom,
which runs to a point. is dasher that
is rotated rapidly by small electric
motor. This forces the water up and
between the dishes, cleansing them
thoroughly in few minutes. The
dishes are not merely sprayed, but
swept by waves of hot coapy water,
and as the trays are stationary there
Is no risk of breakage. The conical
shape of the bottom of the container
Insures drainage. With the wide use
of electricity in houses here is avail
able another labor Tightening device
like the vacuum sweeper and the cleo

Washington. - President Wilson.
speaking at the opening of the
Pan-American Financial Conference
here, expressed the hope that the
Americans might show the world the
path to peace. The President was
loudly applauded by the delegates as
he entered the Hall Of the Americas
in the Pan-American Union building,
where the meetings are being held.
On the platform were members of the
Cabinet, while the audience included
many high government officials in ad-
dition to the representatives of South
and Central American countries.
The President declared the people
Of the Americas were not trying to
make use Of one another but were try
ing to be Of use to one another. He
spoke Of the Handsome rivalry,
which he said was good for nations
The lack Of the physical means Of
communication between the Ameri-
cas-, he said, stood somewhat In the
way Of development Of commerce and
friendship.
