The problem will be further compli-
Gated by the fact that there will be
two crowds of more than 10000 every
day. The evening crowd will be start
ing before the afternoon crush has
taken its burden off the transportation
routes. A baseball crowd has always
been fairly well handled because it
was going only in one direction and
the biggest outpourings were almost
invariably on Saturday afternoons,
when the evening rush northward is
lightest.
When Billy Sunday comes the regu-
lar evening rush will be extended over
until about 8 o'clock in the evening
and in addition there will be more
than 10000 persons trying to go the
other way.
The tabernacle is now completed
and will be dedicated Sunday, April
i. It seats 1900, with standing
room for 5000 more. 1t has rest
rooms, hospital, cafeteria seating
500 where some If not all of the
cost of the building will be recovered
from the hungry congregations.
''Billy" and his party will live at
1920 street, near Riverside drive, when
they come to town. The house has
twenty two rooms. There are eighteen
in the party.

TRAFFIC PUZZLE
CAUSED BY PLAN
OF SUNDAY CREW
How to Handle $4,000 Per.
. sons a Day Is Problem for
New York Officials.

New York, March 29.-Getting Co.
000 men, women and children to the
tabernacle every day and getting them
started home again without danger or
discomfort is one of the problems re-
ceiving serious attention by the Billy
Sunday committee, charged with the
preliminary details Of the big revival
which begins Easter afternoon.
The tabernacle, which is all but
completed, is on the old American
League baseball park at 16Sth street
and Broadway, at the top Of the long
Broadway hill from 18TH street north.
The Broadway subway and the Am
sterdam- Broadway surface lone are
the only regular routes for reaching
this location, and the 168th street sub
way station is sixty feet below the
street surface.
Getting to Broadway means a long
hard climb of flight after fight of
stairs or waiting for chance to get
on one Of the two huge passenger ele-
vators. These are ample for hand
ling the ordinary traffic but on days
of big baseball games the station plat
form is oppressively congested.
To meet this situation Mayor Mitch
ell may be asked to extend temporar-
lily the franchises Of the bus lines so
that any or all of them will be permit
ted to run direct to the tabernacle.
Extra service will, of course, be pro-
vided by the few useful surface lines,
and local bus service will be estab-
lished from Ninth avenue 81" stations
north Of 125th street.
A plan to run ''jitneys" from the
18th street station up the hill to the
Tabernacle is also being discussed, be-
cause it is evident to the managing
committee that the elevators of 16Sth
street will not be able to get the
crowds out Of the tube.
These elevators can carry sixty pas
sengers on each trip, and with fast
work each can make two trips in five
minutes. Even figuring that the two
can make five trips in five minutes,
this would be only 800 passengers in
that time.
Meanwhile the ten-car expresses will
be discharging eight or nine hundred
ssengers--possibly a thousand-ev-
cry four minutes. Hundreds of these
will, of course, make the climb up
the stairs, but with the elevators run
ming five hundred or more passen-
gers behind the express trains every
i've minutes there would be unbear-

PIN THIS UPON !.
W|FE'S DRESSER
Warns women against cut
ting corns and says they
lift right out.

Because style DEGREES that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women asc
warned to stop it.
A few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce Of freeZone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet.
This drug is gummy but it dries in
a moment and simply shrivels up the
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.

merely the pe1ts and leaving the car
cases to rot or feed the vultures
where they fell.
Thus the buffalo passed with amaz-
ing and disconcerting suddenness, and
thus much of our wild life is passing
to-day, unnoticed in it's going by the
thoughtless crowd. Even of these
who knew, not many could believe
that such amazing numbers could
pass from the face Of the earth so rap
idly. Now only few scattered rem
nants remain, here and there, mainly
on reservations where they are care
fully protected under government SUI
pervis1on.
That we have them at all is due to
a few large hearted men who formed
the American Bison society and gen.
erously gave funds and valuable time
to the work of preservation. That
there are to-day in the world several
thousand bison, slowly increasing in
number, is due entirely to the philan-
thropic and humane activities of these
men. There were but a few hundred
buffalo left when the work began.
and it is rarely that race has reach
ed such small numbers, and had the
opportunity anu tIlc tAIdlAly " ouA NANO
and increase. For a race of wild
creatures to fail almost utterly, pass
ing in little more than century from
seventy-five millions to few hun
dred, is extra ordinary. That there
should be brought about an increase
from the few hundred to several thou
sand in little more than a decade is
still more unusual.
In our country twenty seven states
o-day have buffalo, ranging in num-
Der from solitary specimen or two
in geological park to few score
or few hundred in state reserva-
ton. Canada has nearly thirteen
hundred in three large reservations
and it is estimated that in far north
ern Athabasca are four to five hum
dred roaming the wilderness unre-
strained. There may be, altogether
$500 to 1000.
In the United States many Of the
buffalo are closely confined, but most
Of the larger herds roam the ranges
as free and far more safe than their
wild progenitors, always owing their
safety, Of course to the watchful care
of theI same human race that came so
near discriminating them.
