The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-11-21

Mayor Thompson yesterday issued
a warning Of danger of building the
subway system too small. He said
New York no sooner got its subways
going than longer trains, faster time
schedules and longer platforms for
waiting straphangers had to be
adopted. 1t didn't work at all like
experts said it would.
Aid Captain, chairman local
transportation committee, admits
subways are insanitary, that with
dust and lack Of sunlight they don't
compare with elevated lines. He
says, however, he's for a downtown
subway because it's the only way to,
end congestion.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-11-21

cars, are the rule in New York now
just as before subways were built.
ct is a certainty if subways are
built in Chicago and don't work for
the relief of the straphangeTs the cry
then will be for more subways. It's
my guess at this time the traction
capitalists, hand in hand with the
State street stores, Commonwealth
Edison and the Field estate, are max
ing the entering wedge of a move
that will fool Chicago once more if
it goes through.
Voters of Chicago have over
whelmingIy rejected a comprehen-
siVe, city-wide subway by referen-
dunn. If we begin with a so-CaIled
downtown subway running from the
loop to Division street on the north,
Racine avenue on the west and 18th
street on the south, we might as well
admit that overcrowding in a few
years will enable the traction inter
ests to call for extension of these
subways. Then well have city-wide
subways in prairie city that ought
to have sunshine transportation,
clean, and sanitary transportation"
It will cost about S2,50O,OOO mile
to build the subways, the coming re-
port will say. After they are built
the proposition is the city shall rent
them to. the surface lines. If the pro-
gram goes through the city's traction
fund of $4,000, 900, derived from SIS
per cent of surface line profits since
1907, will be gone. Also if subsoils
prove treacherous here and there
with slips, slides and cave-ins, the
extra cost will be on the city, In this
connection some aldermen point to
to the Hotel Morrison, which spent
100000 more than originally esti-
mated for sinking caissons through
subsoils that slipped, slid and caved
in. The sinking of Randolph street,
at the corner of Wabash avenue, next !
to the Field store, another sudden |

STUMPS IN ROAD
BUILDING

Good roads. according to Howard
Ram. are something which everybody
wants for nothing.
As there is nothing free in this
country except elbow room and the
grip. the good roads movement has
had hard work in trying to break
speed records.
Good roads agitation always shows
a more rapid pulse during winter. and
converts great number of people
who object to travelling over high
ways that look like all Alpine noun
tain range.
But man has short and brittle
memory. When summer comes and
the roads lie down flat again public
enthusiasm also lies down and but
tons the flaps on its coin pocket.
There are more good roads en-
thusiasts during the rainy season than
at ony other time OF the year.
If vote on bond issue could be
taken Immediately after three day
cloudburst, the polls would be more
oongested than the tables OF a Is
cent supper.
In manyp laces the method OF max
ing good roads is to pillow them
down the center and decorate the
roadbed with sod. This provides a
surface which can be travelled only by
the silt walking crane.
II is not at all difficult to convert
the owner of a new automobile to
the good roads theory II he is caught
at the moment when he is trying to
worm his way through af resi- sod
improvement, two miles and half
long andr INNING from fence to fence.
This life Is full of strange incon-
sistencies. People complain about
the money wasted on chewing gum,
false hair, and skin foods, but II isn't
the price of hair cut 20 the sums was
n ted in patching roads that refuse to
q stay patched.
The automobile is the evangel of the
n good roads movement. Every sale
of af i've passenger touring car with
, tires subject to sudden and disheart-
. cning puntcture means better roads
n and more OF them. Therefore, every
q one should buy touring cars because
a he will then become a good roads
= advocate.
y Good roads are more conducive to
a human happiness than good digestion,
N You can coddle your digestion with
M matted milk, but there is nothing more
certain to convert a COW path into a
hard surfaced highway than brains
plus money, plus concrete.

NEW TESTS OF DEATH
Italian Scientist Has Made Public
Methods for Determining When
Life Is Ended.

An Italian scientist describes the foil
lowing three new methods Of determln
ing the cessation of life:
''The first Is the ether test. A drop
of ether Is instilled into the conjunc.
tlval sac of one eye. II this Is fol.
lowed by reddening OF the conjunc-
tiva II affords proof that the circulaI
ton Is intact and that life is still pres
ent. The other eye is used as n control.
"The second test consists In the sub
cutaneous injection of fuorescn,
which, II the individual Is still living
is soon followed by a yellowish color
ing Of the skin and mucosa. The CON
junctiva and the mucous membrane Of
the mouth. and particularly Of the
frenum of the tongue, show this colora'
ton most distinctly. A negative result
is obtained In cases Of marked slowing
or enfeeblement Of the circulation.
"The third test consists In direct ex
ploration of the heart by means OF
stylet. This is introduced through .
small incision In one Of the intercosta
spaces. Any movement In the heart y
communicated to the stylet."

Some self-concelted philosopher has

IL would seem that this attempt to de-

ately to talent. 1t Is also an obvious
fact that many people, thoughtful 9th

would think the remark quoted above
case In point, observes the Los An
geles Times.
There Is no doubt that talent, to
make Itself effective, requires untlring
EFFORT ana unlimited application. Civ
en- talent and application, success is
sure to follow In any mans career.
Many of us are very much inclined to
hhd fault with society and lay all our
failure to succeed at Its door. Society
Is not concrete fact. 1t is simply an
abstraction Invented to represent hui
mainly In the aggregate. Nature has
been very niggardly ia her gifts TO
many OF us, and where this is so no
amount of effort, no matter how con.
uhuously 1t Is applied can lead to large
success.
Those who find fault with society as
the cause of their failure are wrong.
