PUBLIC WANTS RAPID TRANSIT.

There is too much theorizing and
too much posing by would-be REFORM
ers before the City Council Traction
Committee. The public is interested
mainly in rapid transit and President
Busby hit the nail on the head when
he said to the committees:
The public is interested in serv-
ice. 1t cares little whether the fran
chise is for twenty or thirty years. 1t
Is not much concerned over whether
the income to the companies is or b
per cent. What 1t wants Is service.
We are ready to meet you at any
time to try to agree on when and how
the work shall start"
Mr.. Busby said that only ii per cent
of the combined facilities of the
companies was used for rapid tran
sit, but under the proposed improve
ment there would be saving OF
from 90 to 40 per cent In the sched
ules of the elevated roads and OF from
80 to so per cent in the schedules OF
the surface lines.
Another interesting comparison he
made was that whereas now about 2.
per cent of the Chicago public had
the benefit of rapid transit, when the
improvements were made 65 per cent
would have It.
Mr.. Busby emphasized rapid tran
sit elevated railways) almost to the
exclusion of surface lines and subway
proposals. He said the one import
ant question to be answered by the
committee, ever keeping service to
the fore, was whether that service
would best be accomplished by build
ing surface lines at 100000 mile
elevated roads at 100000 mile, OF
subways at 100000 a mile.

A Timely Discovery

Discovery of vast pools beneath
the desert of Negeb, in the SOUTH
ern part of Palestine, will make it
possible by a system of artesian
wells to transform that sandy waste
into fertile fields, and make the
Holy Land a veritable new Eldora-
do for Jewish colonists who are
expected to flock to the country
under the Zionist movement.
The credit for this discovery is
due to Aaron Aronson, an Ameri-
can Jew. While General Allenby
and his British forces were march
ing along the desert places from
Suez to Jaffa, pushing their way
forward to capture Jesrusalem
from the Turks, the water supply
become a serious problem. AS
General Allenby and his army ad-
vanced, the rails of a double tracked
railroad on cement ballast extend
ing back to Suez. and during the
terrific heat of last summer, when
the army had to move slowly, five
trains of cars a day were required
to carry water for the troops strug-
Cling across the desert. The heat
became so intense that operations
were practically suspended until
the cooler days of the autumn
came. and then one eventful day
the world heard that Jerusalem had
fallen before the bayonet drives of
Allenby's army.
Aronson, who is known in Amer
lea as having been connected with
the Department of Agriculture
Experiments Station, which is
partly supported by Americans,
began casting his scientific eye
around last summer, and found
that the country over which the
army was travelling was blessed
with an underground water supply.
He showed the British the latest
methods in digging artesian wells,
and there is now an abundance of
water that will be available for ir-
rigation when the country is
opened up for settlement; for q large
part of Palestine is wilderness with
only shepherds and their herds. Eek.

SEND HIM ACROSS WITH A SMILE

y, mother of mine, has the boy gone across
To humanitys war, with its gain or its loss;
Has he offered himself in the pride of his youth
To fight the grim battle for justice and truth2
Has he followed the flag as it floats the breeze,
To the land of the Allies far over the seasg
Be as brave You may be, o mother of mine,
Get grip your heart strings and keep back the brine
Be brave soldier, as he is, the whiie
And send him across with a smile.
We know that it's hard for mother to part,
With the JOY of her life and the pride of her heart
We knew in the passing how empty life seems,
How shattered to bits its ambitions and dreams.
But the smile of mother may go long ways,
To tighten his load in the wearsome days;
When courage may weaken and love of the right
Oh. hearten him up as he goes forth to fight
The look your face will last many mile
So send him across with SMILE
The mother may grieve Or the mother may grace,
The heart of her boy to the end of the race;
She may give him fine courage or take it away,
She may tighten his sorrow darken his day.
So hide your keen sorrow as long may be,
And hide it so deeply that he cannot see;
And wave last kiss from your dear finger tips
You may go with his spirit unto the last mile,
If you send him with smile.
When the that has called our brave boys to war;
Is lifted aof with the flags from afar,
When freedoms unbound from her place gains the WALL
When the things we have fought for given to ALL
And the peace of conquering conflict is won;
He come home hero. so brave and true,
He'll come home hero and owe it to you
Because with courage, undying the while,
You sent him across with smile.

HE Saltwater All Stars
who invaded our Recrea-
ton Park last Saturday
l.e>ll

E@IleNH VINO INVADED our hcCrOa-
BSOngH ton Park last Saturday
|Ngg were defeated by a score
of six to three. Cayou who did
the twirling for the All Stars re-
ceived a terrible drubbing in the
fifth inning, by allowing one sim
gle, one double and one three-bag-
ger. Four runs came across in
this inning, which was sufficient for
winning the game. Cayou, how
ever, pitched stellar ball through
out the game. He struck out nine
men and the majority of them are
classed as being in our wrecking
crew. Several costly errors were
made in their team work, Cayou
himself making two of them by
wild pitching which resulted in
two men walking from third base
home.
Freid, who is new recruit on
the M. S. P. pitching staff. made
his first appearance on the mound
in Saturdays contest. He opened
up the game by pitching the first
four innings. For the first three
innings not a man reached second
base. But the first man up in the
fourth inning received a pass on
balls, then allowing two safe hits
in succession, two scores finally
crossed the plate before the side
was retired. Freid looks like a
coming twirler and if he keeps up
the pace he set Saturday he will be
a welcome addition to our pitch
ing staff. Being a southpaw also,
will help some to confuse the
future opponents of the M. S. P.
for baseball honors on the local
diamond.
Lee relieved Freid at this stage
of the game and with the score
standing two to one in favor of the
All Stars and Cayou pitching stel-
lar ball every indication showed
that Lee had an uphill battle to
fight, although he took his place
with a strong determination to
win. After the notorious fifth in
ming was over Lee was on easy
street. He struck out three men
and allowed four scattered hits.
He had good support behind him
which robbed the visitors of several
safe bingles.
Add did splendid work around
the third station. He had four
chances and all were accepted in
frst-class style. They we're all of
the grass cutting variety and are
exceptionally hard to handle, al
though he picked them up with
perfect ease and the way he handed
them to Jam was something mar
velous.
Bush carried off the batting
honors by clouting out three
Dagger and scoring two men ahead
of him.
Mr.. Kolliner umpired the first
four innings. Mr.. Tolen who has
of6ciated at many games here in
the past umpired the remainder of
the game.
