CLIPPINGS FROM THE
sNAGT0wN TORCHLIGHT

London, Eng, March 18th. Ed
tor Snagtown Torchlight About
three dozen Snagtown citizens are
in London stranded, and Lord only
knows when they'll be able to get
away. Our leading novelist is here,
and thinking to raise cash to get
home he writ story bout the war
that would make your hair rise, but
the London editors said it wuzen't
fitten, if published, would result in
a declaration of war ag'in the
United States. Some few of us got
a job burying soldiers, but endurin'
of it we had to dodge bullets so
that even at this writin' we dunno
il our heads are on straight or not.
We know you amt got no money to
send us, so we would ask you to
pray for us, but for the reason that
we know you amt on speakin'
terms with the angels. War sure is
hell, and we are in it. o for the
peace of the home millpond-to be-

A now monorail car has been put
into operation in the subway be
tween the capitol building and the
senate office building at Washing
ton. ID. c.. notes the Popular Science
Monthly. \ car of similar construc-
ton has been in service up to now.

only twelve persons This now car
which was designed ana built under
the direction of the office OF the SUI
pcrintcndcut of the capitol. Elliott
Woods has a seating capacity of
eighteen. makes faster time and IS
less noisy.
Built for the most part I'm the ma
chine shops of the Washington navy
yard, the new ear makes about one
hundred ana twenty five round trips
a day In the tunnel. ON what is per
haps the shortest railway I'm the
country $50 feet long The car
weighs . 500 pounds, is eighteen and
a half feet over all and forty six
inches wide.
ono of tho features of the new
ear is the seat for the "motormau. ="
lie sits i'm tho center. and without
getting out of his place, makes the
car kt tllltl way. rms. III llStll, Is
a time saver. II is estimated that
the car can make twenty-five miles
an hour 1t takes just thirty seconds
To go from one end of the subway
To the other.
The car is equipped with two
seven and one half horsepower mo-
tors, is fitted with a canvas tread
on the wheels to deadcn tfc noise.

In 1909 when the senate office
building was just about completed IL
was decided that Subway under
the parking between the capitol and
the building was a thing to he de-
sired. Behold it was done. 1t is
nearly block long At first the
senators were satisfied to walk That
was too slow especially when they
hurryiug To the senate chamber from
their offices TO vote. An electric
NNi'h a capacity of about
twelve persons, was then installed.
This was well enough for a while.
but even this was slow The mono
rail car was then put into opera
ton, which has been fast enough
up to now, hut even that was slow
and SO the latest product has Just
been installed.

STORY OF pnoEnE BKAsIu2AR
Helped Husband Attain Fame As
MnlANr of InSIrmmrmIs

In western PENNSYLVANIA thirty
miles or $50 south of Pittsburgh is the
little town of Rrowusyile Here.
shortly after 1StO. Phoebe stewart
was born and here she grow up. "a
simple country girl hard working.
frugal and poor
Phoebe Stewart married lad Of the
village, ana as Mrs John Erashcar
went with her husband To- Pittsburgh
in search of fortune. Rrashrlr got "a
job in rolling mill grin ding tools.
The BrashcarS were too poor to
buy house, and $50 they built ono
with their own hands. They added "a
little machine shop with tiny steam
engine. where John Brashcar might
play with lathcs and tools of his own
Neither husband nor wife had had
much education. but they spent their
spare time In study Their special in
tcrcSt was astronomy. lhcy wanted
n telescope and were too poor to buy
one, SO they made one instead
In their little shop they turned the
brass ana ground the lenses. While
her husband was at the rolling mill
Phoebe BrashoRr cleaned and oiled
the little engine. set the shop I'm order
and made ready the tools and mater
ials for the evenings work. After sup
per she worked at her husbands side.
often until midnight. Whenever she
could snatch an hour or two during
tho day she started the machinery and
worked 10y herself Few mon were
better mechanics.
Lens grinding Is slow ana difficult.
II took the Brashcars three years To-
make their fiVc-tnCh glass. which they
set up in the attic OF their cottage.
Other housckecpers. as they become
more prosperous, aspire to larger
houses. Phoebe Brashcar wanted
larger telescope, one with 12-iuch
glass. II took only two years to make
that. for the Brashcars were getting
skillful But just as they finished
the glass 1t broke
The husband was completely dis
couraged. He went back to the mill
resolved to try no more. Not so the
gallant wife. "Nevcr mind" she said.
Gwen make a better one" And the
very next night, when the husband
came home from work he found the
best of suppers awaiting him. steam
up in the engine as usual, and a fresh
block of glass I'm the lathe. He took
heart again, and that time the work
went through to completion.
That was the turning point of the
family career. The Brashears became
known both for their skill in grind
ing lenses and for the discoveries they
made with their telescopes The Al
loEhony observatory began to send
them repair work that had hitherto
been done in Paris.-Amorican.

FIGHT MISGUIDED CENSORSHIP
suppression of Recent Novel ~ Icwd'
Invites Publishers Co-Opcration.

The time has certainly come for
American book publishers to take
their own part. Two private agencies.
tho Cincinnati vice commission and
the Society for the Suppression of
Vice, have combined to put The
Genius" by Theodore Dresser, out of
the markct-thc latest and most dar-
ing attempt at book censorship.
Rather than be prosecuted for issu-
ing 'lewd' book, most reputable
publishers would incline to suppress
any book in question TO avoid trouble,
expense and loss of reputation. But
TINS fact. which is easy to understand,
gives extremely dangerous power to
sGpprcssvc societies. and considering
the recent cncroaChmcntS along this
line II Is better in the end to have the
issue frankly met. There is no use
raging against the misguided and APP
parcntly pruricnt spirit that directs
the censorious organizations. The
thing for American book publishers
to do is to make this issue their own
and fight together for freedom to
print and circulate outspoken fiction.
II is against this right that the sup
prcSsive agencies are cOnspiring
There are two excellent reasons.
nevertheless, why publishers should
organize to resist the nasty intimida-
ton of an irregular censorship. one
IS the psychological evil to themselves
and to their authors of knowing that
MIR. Summer may prosecute The
other is the practical fact that many
great books are unconventional and
require to be circulated without pref
udice in order to acclimate the pub
lie.
by Mr.. Sommer's yardstick there
Is no reputable publisher i'm New York
who has not "lewd" books in circu-
lation. These books that broke down
supcrstitions, prciudices, fears and
taboos. Is Mr.. Summer to conscript
