Ciue a Thought to
Washington Square

THOUSANDS of children come daily
Il to Washington Square, but there
is no playground for them. They run
around the benches, scatter over the
roadways and get in the way of every
one There IS plenty OF lawn for them
to play on, but city ordinance pro-
hibits that.
1T seems to me-" says Sergeant
Smith. of the Mercer Street Station.
that the children could play on sns
lawns without putting any one our.
There are seven plots in the park. The
klddies could play on one lawn on
Monday, another on Tuesday and so
on. The grass wouldn't be spoiled. the
children would keep out of mischief
and the park would be sight moie
orderly"
According to an estimate made by
the policeman or the beat, more than
$500 automobiles pass through the
square every hour. There are also
nine different bus lines that start fror,
the park, running on less than a
minue e headway. All this goes TO
make the square michtys busy place
without having the children in the
roadways add % the congestion.

London Is Impressed By

 Here were the Americans in steel hel- nets. marching in companies eight abreast, with bayonets fixed said the Daily Express, They were as jovial as any when the procession halted, for a time, but while they marched their faces were as serious and as immobile as the gravest of graven images.

 Tests to show the resistance of va rious types of road surface such as concrete. asphalt. etc, are soon to be undertaken. About 50 road slabs built of these materials will be broken un der the impact of a machine which ap- proximates the impact effect delivered by motor trucks.
 By measuring the amount of impact actually delivered by the motor trucks to roads and by proceeding further il testing the destruction of actual road slabs subjected to impact, government officials hope to obtain very definite information which will permit them to design high type pavement or high types that will resist definite traffic conditions.

100, ,OOO Automobiles
 Short of Demand

Upon inquiring of several prominent automobile agents in Automobile Row, New York, last week, whether they could deliver a new car, at once, on spot-cash order, I was informed that it was very difficult to get any new car because there were demands for 1000 moro than can now be delivered.
 It Is too soon after the war for all the materials to be procured. It takes considerable time for the automobile manufacturers to reach the full run ming capacity necessary to enable them to catch up with the ever-growing de- mand.
 A conservative estimate of the out put for this year, 1919, is 2,000, 900 pas senger cars; 100000 trucks, and 200, ,000 tractors The demand for motorcycles and motor boats is also increasing.
 The majority of these vehicles are made up of assembled parts, each part representing, in many instances, the entire output of modern factory. For instance, to make the .'magneto" which generates the current for the depend able electric sparks which fire the gas in the engines of the best automobiles this being the source of power to make the cars go. there are several factories each equipped with machinery worth about million dollars, each employing thousands of skilled workmen, each having weeyly capacity of from 2000 to 10000 finished and fully tested mag netos worth from $50 to $75 each.
 Ninety-seven per cent of the motor trucks, and about s9 per cent of the motor tractors have magneto ignition. These types of vehicles are used for heavy work and rough ground and must have the sturdy magneto igni- ton.
 This infant-giant known as the au- tomobile industry. has grown in 20 years to be the third largest in the United States and influence the pros perity of nearly every industry and trade in the civilized world.

 There was a grim, indomitable look about Pershing's men," said the Daily Sketch, "an effect greatly heightened by their shell helmets, and it made all the more wonderful the burst of clear color which followed as their massed banners came by.

America,, Trade With Italv

Rome. July 2S.-From present indica- tions American trade with Italy this year may reach the billion dollar mark, says the Popolo Romano. During the first three months of 1919 American inn ports into Italy amounted to approxi- mately s220 00o, 900. while Italys exports to America reached S.00o,000, The state ment shows that if the present rate of trade be maintained a record of com merce between the two countries will be attained. America is by far the great est seller to Italy. poor second is Great Britain, with a total of s70,Ooo, 900 for the first three months, and Argen- tine next with s6o, ,00o,0o0.

These tests will be continued with trucks ranging from the lightest weight to the heaviest until complete data is obtained.

is given over sc largely to crop pro-

TANK IN MADISON
A BIG DEMONSTRATION TO
OPEN THE VICTORY LOAN
DRIVE.

The United States government is
calling through the victory loan foc
the use of four and a half billion
dollars Of the peoples money TO de-
fray the expense of returning our
boys from Europe and carrying out a
program of help to the refugees and
meeting the huge responsibilities Of
reconstruction, army and navy up
keep.
On Monday, April 21, the drive
starts all over Lake county, whose
quota has been placed at $500 900.
Allotments have been made AMI
there only awaits the willingness and
promptness of us all to put this
amount over the top.
The manner of handling the vic
tory loan differs some from the for
mer custom. In other campaigns il
was necessary to come to Madison
and meet the allotment. Now every
township. city and village will open
it's polling places from s a. nj. Mon
day, April 81, to 8 p. m. so that
everyone may have an opportunity to
attend to loan business at a con-
venient point and with little loss OF
time or patience.
If anyone should not appear al
the announced place on that particu-
lar day and take his prescribed
share or offer some reasonable ex-
PLANTATION for not doing so, ii will be
necessary to come to Madison and
make acknowledgment and payment
at victory loan headquarters. The
time limit as set by the government
is April 26, after which date all de-
~linquents will be dealt with accord
ing to their causes for non-appear-
ance.
For several days and nights the
offices of the county chairman, Wi
liam Rowland, have been BUSTING
with loan business. chiefly the
preparation and distribution Of a1lot.
