ECHO WILL CELEBRATE
WITH COMMUNITY TREE

ECHO, Dec. 17.-Echo will have a
community Christmas tree in the city
hall Christmas eve. This conniun-
ity affair was started in the new city
hall when it was built. and has been
an annual success with the exception
of last year, when the influenza epi-
demic prevented having any gather
ings.
Committees to raise funds and to
arrange for the tree and the program
were appointed at the recent CONNER
cial club meeting. Joseph Cunha ia,
c. S. Nudge and Ray Johnson were
selected to secure the necessary money
for the event. On the program and
arrangement committee the various
churches of the city and the schools
were represented as follows: Rev.
Gleiser. A. Longwell, Miss Auclair, J.
F. Spinning and Professor Drew.
The commercial club has been car
rying a small fund left over from the
tree of 1917, and to this will be added
subscriptions sufficien to pay for the
tree, decorations. and necessary ex-
penses of the program. The program
will be on Christmas eve. A request
was made by the club that only
short program be arranged. so that
there will be time for the distribution
of presents without keeping the little
folks out too late.

''F00L PROOF" CARS
TO OPERATE SOON
I'M BROOKLYN, N. Y.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Surface
cars operated by one man. and with
fool proof" contrivances to prevent
accidents will be put into general use
in Brooklyn in about ten days, ac-
cording to an announcemtnt yester-
day by r. II. Porter, general manager
of the Brooklyn City Railroad Com
pany. What is still more remarka BILE
about the new type of car. is the fact
that they will have no strap hangers.
as there win be no straps from which
to hang.
One hundred and eighty of the new
cars have been purchased by the com
pany. and after trial trips, the COM
pany officials are convinced heavy
traffic can be handled more speedily
and with the minimum of effort by
the one man operator. Several picked
men are now going through a course
of instruction to fit them for the job
of being motorman and conductor at
the same time.
Among the safety devices is one
that brings the car to a stop should
the operator losecontrol from sleepi-
ness, illness or carelessness. The car
doors must be closed before the brakes
are released which prevents persons
from being caught in the doors and
dragged. Accidents resulting from
boarding moving cars will also be eli
as there is no way to get on
while. the car is in motion.

"All agree" says Coffin. that some
check should be put upon the driver
by the issuance of a certificate or IL
cense at the time he applies for his
motor license, that such certificate be
produced upon demand OF the proper
police, authority. in order to ascertain
whether it is in the hands of the right
ful owner-which would also assist in
the location of stolen cars
The letter also says that public
opinion has been aroused and large
numbers of people have become in
dignant at the seeming neglect on the
part of some of the officials in not
adopting more strenuous measures"
and that accidents are on the in
crease, and the probabilities are that
we shall have greater number In the
future unless more drastic means are
taken to reduce them"
