Trains Without Engineers.

London Times: When the contract
for the construction of the postoffice
tube railway was place in October,
1914, it was hoped that the work would
be completed in eighteen months. This
expectation will be nearly fulfilled.
The purpose of the railway is to ac-
celerate the transmission of mails and
parcels and reduce the expenditure on
road vans, incidentally relieving con-
gestion in the streets. Starting at Pad
dington, it runs almost due east past
the western district postoffice, where
it turns in a northeasterly direction
to Mount Pleasant. Then it taxes a
southeasterIy direction as far as the
general postoffiCe in Newgate street
continuing thence almost due east past
Broad street and Liverpool street sta
tions to the eastern district postoffice
in Whitechapel. Its total length is
about six and one-half miles, and its
depth below the surface varies from
28 feet to 81 fEet. Between stations
there is a single tunnel feet in diam
eter, containing two tracks of 2-foot
gauge, but at stations separate tun-
nels of larger diameter are arrange
for the up and down lines, with space
between them to give accommodation
for lifts, shoots and control cabins. No
drivers will be carried on the trains
which will be driven electrically and
worked on a distant control system.
The present line is only part Of the
complete scheme, which in it's final
form provides for three other lines.

ing as that relic Of bygone days--also
designed to conceal-the hoopskirt.
There is no reason why business
woman or q woman employed in other
pursuits should cramp herself by
skirt.
Would not a stenographer be more
efficient in trousers? All employees of
Offices gain in efficiency as their move
ments are free. A stenographer would
undoubtedly be more efficient in trous-
ers than in a narrow dress. Moreover,
| in the rush hours before and after
work she could make her way to the
| ily and quickly. Women are nampered
and hindered on the streets OF great
cities by their clothes. In fact. would
| it not be better IL skirts were worn
only in the house and all women adopt
ed a utiltarian attire for walking?
I'VE are entering sanitary age. But
Just as medical science is endeavoring
| to conquer disease women should lend
| their aid. The skirt is a prolific source
| Of spreading contagion The streets are
| covered with horrible germs and wom-
| en- wearing skirts pick these up ana
| drag them with them. They carry fatal
| maladies into their homes. We cannot
| estimate the amount or sickness, dis
| tress and number OF deaths caused by
| the baleful skirt. If women realized to
what they endanger their children and
| loved ones none would wear a long
| skirt when out on the street.
Then think what a dirty, unpleas-
ant thing the skirt is. When I remem-
Der the coughs and colds 1 have devel-
| oped from the clinging of wet and
| soggy draperies, I feel like writing a
| moving picture film showing the evils
Of the skirt When I recall the many
times I have caught my heel in a hem
and have stumbled and tripped. I feel
quite convinced that the skirt is re-
sponsible for the increasing profanity
among women!
Even in the house, in ordinary
housework, the skirt is an impediment.
The weariness and headaches of many
housewives are due to the laborious-
ness of working in skirts. They could
| work so much more expeditiously in
| trousers.
"A revolution in womens wear after
the war is certain. Women have en-
Enthusiastically embraced every oppor-
tunity they have had to get away from
skirts, and for years have eliminated a
bit here and a bit there from the
swathings in which, because of mems
attitude, they concealed themselves.
DO we stand then, with the new
freedom and change of feelings upon an
era of trousered women? Many be-
lieve so. Indeed, many amrm that as
women more and more enter into in
dustrial and commercial competition
with men they will adopt mans sombre
style of dress.
'In this do not entirely agree.
more utilitarian garb for utilitarian
work. Perhaps it will be in the way
of smock and breeches But when her
work is done, in search for contrast
with the desire to attract and please
woman will blossom out even more
gorgeously than before.
After the war women will dress
more ravishingly than ever in the hours
of her social life. There will be a
golden era Of fashions"

go nnn. 600 I'm This RainhOH,

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Presi-
dent Grace, of Bethlehem Steel, an
nounces that his company will spenc
$40. 10000 for improvements to its
properties. This is the largest appro-
priation for such a purpose which any
Industrial concern has made for some
years. The significance OF this heavy
outlay of capital at this time is that II
is not made for the purpose of manu-
featuring war munitions. Even the
most pronounced pessimist will agree
that the war must have ended before
Bethlehem will have been able to spend
$40. 100000 for extensions and better
ments to it's plant. 1t seems certain
therefore, that Mr.. Schwab and his as
sociates are not building anew for the
war but for after the war. 1t must
follow that these steel producers see
post-bellum days of great promise.
Since every business man, is now busy
asking himself and his neighbor what
will happen when the war is over, Mr..
Schwab's enormous forward movement
comes as a most hopeful assurance OF
continued big trade. 1t is the rainbow
showing across black storm-clouds.

WAS EXPLOSION
AN ACCIDENT?

San Francisco, July 26.-Despite the
suggestion Of Arthur Crane, an ex-
plosive expert that Saturdays bomb
explosion, which cost the lives of seven
persons and the injury Of forty others
may have been an accident the police
continued their efforts in running
down what they considered clues.
Two foreigners were particularly
sought. They were seen on Lower
Market street carrying a heavy suit
case at a point near where the eXplo-
sion occurred.
In reporting his findings to the po-
lice bomb bureau, Crane advanced the
theory that the explosive contained
nitro glycerin stabilized in gelatin
and that it was the most easily OBJ
tanned explosive on the market, being
used largely in oil we'll and quarry
operations. 1t might have belonged to
such a worker, he said.

j. Vaughn. a river boat master. died

nerals of four other victims were held

BELGIUM BARRED
FROM MARKETS

The Hague. Netherlands, July 81
Notwithstanding that she was already
largely mOnopoliZing the export Of
Hollands surplus agricultural and
other food products, Germany has
just taken measures with a view to
removing Belgian buying competition
from the Dutch market. A decree has
been issued in Belgium prohibiting
communes and dealers from import
ing goods from Holland. Applications
to make such purchases must be sub
mitted to Berlin. The result is that
Belgium, where distress was already
acute, is deprived Of an indispensable
supply OF goods and the great diff
culties which the American Relief
Commission is experiencing with car
go space does not allow Of the ade-
quate and speedy replacement from
that quarter

IS THIS ANOTHER
ORPET CASE?

OIney, Ill, July 26.-Roy Hinterliter
was held to the grand jury without
bail at the conclusion of the coroners s
inquest into the death Of Elizabeth
Ratcliffe II years old. A friend OF
Hinterliter testified at the inquest that
Hinterliter had boasted to him OF
performing illegal operations. The au-
topsy over the girls body, however,
revealed that there had been no opera
ton and that no poison had been ad-
ministered.
A medical commission reported that
the girl died of embolism, an obstruc-
ton of blood vessel-but the COM
mission could not determine the cause
Of this condition.
Miss Ratcliffe died last Friday night.
Hinterliter who was out riding with
her drove up to a. sanitarium and said
that Miss Radcliffe had tainted. She
was taken into the sanitarium, where
