AID. KENNEDY ADVANCES NEW
TRANSPORTATION SCHEME
While city council transportation
committee is considering, apparently
favorably, the creation of a board of
engineers with power to spend
100000 in an effort to find out what
a subway will cost, Aid Kennedy to-
day propounded a scheme that if put
into working order might save the
city millions and give it a better
transportation system than a subway
would.
"The plan before the transporta-
ton committee is unethical and I'M
wise," said Aid. Kennedy. "Bion Ar
mold, who is to be one of the $4,000
engineers on the board of three has
already gone on record as being in
favor of increasing the property valu-
alton of the Chicago traction line
company.
Chicago could have a thoroughly
efficient transportation system if it
would force identification and inter-
connection of its present steam lines.
The railroads use their right-of-ways
but little. They reach all parts of the
city and the suburbs and their latent
capacity for carrying passengers
could be readily developed. Connect
the railroads with one another and
have through-route electric trains
running over their right-of-ways to
all parts of the city. The present
transportation system is built for the
sole benefit of the loop, and especi
ally that portion about Marshall
Fields store. A subway would only
give the loop greater unjust power.
''In his long, salary drawing term
of service with the city, Arnold has
never been of service to Chicago,

HE WANTED TO LIVE IN CITY
and Was Sorry He Made
the Change.

In Farm and Fireside is the story of
a farmer who sold his property to
live In the city, because his city
friends wore good clothes. had money
jingling in their pockets, went to the
movies. belonged to clubs, and en-
joyed yearly vacation" He found,
however, that the city man pays dear
ly for these Injuries.
I'VE came to know" he said, that
1t was just as hard for the city man
to get up at seven o'clock In the morn
ing as 1t was for the country man
to get up at five. Why SO? Because
he must not relax; he Is ever on duty.
He may smile at this person and at
tina. person. He dares not notice any
body's peculiarities, or oddities or I'M
reasonableness. The result Is he
must find his relaxation in the eve
ming; therefore, the family rarely gets
to bed before ten or eleven o'clock,
and seven in the morning finds him
just as sleepy and far less refreshed
than five found him on the farm.
1--WE found going to work for some
body else every day In the year, ex.
cept Sunday and perhaps two weeks
vacation, under somebody else as
manager, didn't exactly suit our coun.
try spirit Of freedom. We came to
know that our friends saved scarcely
a cent; and, furthermore, one couldn't
exactly see how they were extrava-
giant. In the city It seems unbeliev.
ably hard to separate luxuries from
necessities"

FOUND FAIR CLIENTS HUBBY
Sleuth's Methods Took Time, but Once
on the Trail He Was Certain
of Success.

After the third injection of iced tea
the great detective turned to his fair
visitor and said: "You say your hus-
band used to be a baseball umpire and
all you know of his whereabouts or
other belongings is that he is em-
ployed as waiter at one Of the city
restaurants?"
"Excisely," replied his visitor with a
slight foreign accent, according to the
Detroit Free Press.
Il will find him for you, but it may
take all day." said the great detective.
And going to the telephone he called
up the proprietor of every restaurant
in the city and extracted from each a
promise not to allow any fiapjacks to
be made that day.
Now come with me-" said the great
detective, and they began a tour of the
citys 213 restaurants. Not until the
one hundred and fifteenth did the
great detective genius find it's reward.
"A plate Of flapjacks with two
straws, please" he ordered for the
one hundred and fifteenth time.
The waiter threw back his head and
a strange mystic light shone in his
eyes as he intoned loudly: Batter ia
out!"
Your umpire!" cried the great de.
tective, and, leaping to his feet, he
stripped the walters false mustache
from his face.
1t was his fair clients husband.
