systems, from which point it proceeds ,
westward along Forty-second Street TO the
Times Square station situated at Broad
way and Forty-second Street, and from, this
point it runs along Broadway uptown to
Ninety sixth Street, etc. The new Brook
Ign Rapid Transit subway crosses under
the East River from Brooklyn and enters
New York City proper near the Battery.
from which point 1t runs up Broadway, and.
as the bird's-eye view clearly indicates. it
proceeds to dip under the old subway line
at Forty-second Street, but has no track
connection with any other subway. The
new Brooklyn Rapid Transit Broadway line
then extends northward to the south end
of Central Park, or Fifty ninth Street, and
from this point it runs directly east across
the East River to Long Island CITY.
"The new Seventh Avenue subway on Man
haitian Island will extend from the Battery
uptown on Seventh Avenue and will branch
into the existing subway system lust above
Forty-second Street and Broadway, as the
Illustration delineatcs. Express service
will be maintained on this route through
the new station at Times Square, and on
uptown over the old subway tracks
"f you should happen to be downtown
near the Brooklyn Bridge, and wish to use
the old subway system, you would take an
express to Grand Central terminal; from
that point you would take the Shuttle
train across Forty-sccond Street to the
Times Square station, from which point
you have the choice of several directions.
You can go uptown either on the old sub
way system via Seventh Avenue express.
or you could by the same means proceed
downtown. If you so DESIRED you might
pass through the underground passageway
downstairs to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
subway, running below you via Broadway,
and by passing through a turnstile and
paying new fare you could then proceed
to Long Island City or to any intermediate
stop. AS aforementioned, this route ex-
tends downtown along Broadway to Brook
Ign, via the Battery, and also has by
pass route to Brooklyn via Canal Street
There are thus three distinct track levels
at Times Square, if We include the surface
car or trolley system, while three distinct
and important arteries of traffic conpre-
gate at this point, as becomes evident.

Beer

TT HE following discussion Of the ali
Il mentary value of beer appeared in
''Le Pays de France" of Paris:
docs beer contain food? Not much,
cordng to recent studies by an English
Psychologist. No doubt beer contains some
alcohol and some sugar, but not in suf-
fcient quantity to give it any value as
food in proportion to its price and volume.
AS to the proportion of proteids, that is al
most equal to zero. In brief, beer has prac-
tically no alimentary value.
Nevertheless, it has some good qualities.
1t contains an appreciate proportion of
vtamines, chemical substance that is very
little known, which is indispensable to the
organism and the absence of which produces
scurvy bcri-beri, pellagra and slackens
growth. Made of barley, beer ought to con-
tain vitamines, because the latter is in
abundant quantities in barley. corn. etc."

Caterpillars Go Right

The Limits of the Uni
verse"
HE E PAYS DE FRANCE" writes the
following about the ''limits of

the universe:"
THE recent discovery of 4 new star in
nebula has caused the astronomers to ex-
anime other nebula to find out whether
they, too. had not given Birth to new stars
And they have discovered that this is the
case with some of them. An American
astronomer who has studied them believes
that he is able to conclude that the spiral
nebul9 where the new stars appeared-the
Nova are probably a hundred times more
remote than the appearing Nov@-outside
OF the nebula- in the Milky Way. The
spiral nebula in question are about 100000
light years away from the earth-that is, at
distance from which their light can reach
us in 100000 years.
These Debula seem to belong to another
universe. entirely distinct from our uni
verse They are even further away than it
has been stated and the American astron-
omer tells US with GOODNESS of distance of
2O,O00O00 light years. The reader NAV

IN kilometres, taking as a point of depart
ure the fact that light has a speed of 300

1 VRENcH fever which is an an enemy
that friends and foes alike must
fight against is undergoing
close scrutiny by psychologists, both
here and abroad. 1t has been already
established that the fever bacteria,
which is rarely fatal, but is facilitating
and the cause Of great weakness to the
vast armies in the field, is carried by
trench lice. The following is an account
Of an investigation carried on at the
Hampstead Military Hospital, in Eng
land, on behalf of the War Office trench
fever committee. The report is taken
from "The Lancet:
The first point established was that
trench fever could not be produced by the
bite alone Of the infected louise One man
who received no fewer than 9,518 bites by
lice fed on trench fever cases did not sick
en-, nor did another who was bitten 1924
times over q period of fifteen days 1t was
noted that while the younger patients with
lice upon them always yielded to the desire
to allay irritation by scratching, the older
volunteers, in whom infection more fire.
qucntly missed, were those who did not
scratch. This observation led to the sugges-
ton that infection might be due to the
scratching in of the lice or Of their ex-
creta, and the successful result Of the
experiment of scarifying the skin and rub
bling in crushed lice or the excreta Of lice
fed some time before on trench fever pa
tents at once confirmed this view, tho vol
