TICKETS GOOD UNTIL USED
New Jersey Public Utilities Commits
sion Rules Adversely to
Railroads

Trenton.-The public utilities COM
mission has announced that II has
denied a request of committee Of
railroad representatives, which would
have allowed the Erie, Jersey Central
and Pennsylvania railroad companies
TO put into effect a rule limiting the
use of one-way tickets to the day of
issue.
The board was informed by the COM
mittee that such rule was generally
In effect throughout the United States
and had been. adopted by the rail-
roads in New Jersey while under gov
ernment control.
In denying the request the board
says 1t Is of the opinion that statutory
requirement shall prevail-namely,
that tickets for passengers, except
excursion tickets, or those sold at re-
duced prices, shall be good until used.
Such unlimited use of ticket for
which the full rate of fare Is paid,
Is In the interest of the public, works
no undue hardship on the railroad
companies and Is reasonable"

BRIDES MUST GO TO SCHOOL
II They Are Young Enough Mar
riage Does Not Exempt
Them.

Sacramento, Cal.-WhIle there Is
no provision In the school law TO pre-
vent girls under the age of sixteen
accepting proposals or contracting
marriage, the marriage itself does not
offer sufficient excuse In such cases
to keep the young brides away from
full time classes at school.
This Is according to ruling by
VIII G. Woods, state superintendent
of public instruction, in answer to a
query raised several times during the
last few months.
I'VE have gone into this question
thoroughly" Wood stated In explana-
tion of the matter, "and while there
is nothing in the school law to pre-
vent girls under sixteen from getting
married, young brides Of this char
acter must 60 to school full time the
same as their unmarried sisters, un-
less a certificate signed by a physi-
clan is presented to the school author
tiles showing that the physical condi-
tlon of the pupil is such as to render
attendance inadvisable, or that there
is no school within reach"

by a group last night. The Americans
rather convinced the Englishmen Of
the advantages Of American shirts,
but very reluctantly. One of the
group whom the Americans thought
convinced blurted out. "Well, you see,
those coat shirts wear out quicker in
the laundry" What can you do with
that kind Of manf
w. PETIT Ridge, the English writer
and novelist, said the Americans
would better change the subject. So
he asked what was the difference be-
tween the English speech and the
American. Somebody said the Ameri-
can speech was a bit louder. "Yes, you
have hit It," he said. "Only you stress
the unessential word. Your the and
to- etc."
Another Englishman said: 1--WE will
settle it this way. Your shirts are
better and speech worse. But In most
things we break about even. But do
you know what John Hay said when he
returned from the embassy hert?" All
asked for Hays speech. Here IT is:
"I never saw street fight In Eng
land; 1 never heard a story that
couldn't be repeated in the company
of ladies; l never heard a real cpss
word used"
"Where did Hay liver" one English
man asked.
"No," said another. "You are both
right; we break even on those things
too"

CAN'T TEACH OLD
DOC new TRICKS
Britisher Wear American Coat
Shirt2 Mo, Stree, It Simply
Can't Be Done.
FIRMLY AGAINST OUR STYLE
Engllshman Wants to Slip Garment on
Over His Head, and He Wants
the Collar Button to Touch
His Neck, Too.


London.-"You can't teach an old
dog new tricks" Is true when it comes
TO the question of how an Englishman
puts on his shirts. Just few minutes
ago the writer went into q haberdash-
cry shop In the Strand.
DO you want your shirts cut Eng
lish fashion or Americana" asked the
filter.
"Why, what's the differenceT he
was asked.
"YOu see, an Englishman won't have
coat shirt; he wants to slip 1t on
over his head" said the shirtmaker.
The filter then told of several Incl
dents about his countrymen wlJ came
into this particular shop. The other
day one customer was thoroughly an
cry. He had been sold dozen Ameri-
can coat shirts.
II can't get into them," he said.
"All right, we will sew them up"
said the shirt filter.
Another Englishman had bought
some American shirts and came back
with them in q very bad temper.
"What do you mean by selling me
shirts without collar buttonhole In
the back?' was his objection. "Why,
/ had to cut hole through with a
penknife."
The polite salesman tried to show
his customer the benefit of the Ameri-
can shirts; how fine it was not to have
the collar button touch the neck. But
he would have none Of those kind of
shirts.
"Why," said he, II can't reach the
back of my neck to put the button
In"
"You don't have to-" said the filter
put 1t in before you put your shirt
on"
That made the Britisher angry.
II won't do It," he said. II always
put my collar buttons In after my shirt
is on my back. And / won't have you
tell me hcw-.c- DO It."
Bars Hangers on SITS.
Though unconvinced on that point
the salesman tried to tell the English
man how fine It was to wear coat
shirt; that II didn't ruffle up ones
hair when put on. "No, you can't sell
me those shirts. I comb my hair af-
ter l put my shirt on. Besides" said
this customer, II don't want hangers
on my shirts"
The writer told shopkeepers that
coat shirts had not had a long history
In America. "Well, you see," said he.
"an EngIishman learns how to put on
a shirt when little boy, and he won't
change"
This particular shop has a customer
who has bought the same color shirts
for forty years, and he insisted on
that color all during the war. Another
customer for sixty years, now dead,
always bought one color Of neckties-
red.
Races q Function"
One London paper has paragraph
about Walter Hagen taking Off his
sweater just as he was about to make
a drive. 1t simply isn't done here.
Rather serious criticism greeted the
first appearance Of the American ten
mis- players because they dressed so
sloppily. An Englishman has his
trousers pressed for tennis just as he
has them pressed for dinner, and he
usually wears a beautiful blue coat
with brass buttons when he plays.
The writer asked an English friend
why he always wore a silk hat and
cutaway to the races. "Well, you see,
It's function and must" he re-
piled.
All these differences were discussed

Arfstocratic Swallow.

The swallow comes from an old and
aristocratic family and has the honor
OF being named several times In the
Bible, which is not strange, as his
tribe skinned the soft air OF Pales-
tine. He appeared in literature way
back In the time of Aristotle, who
said, Zone swallow maketh not a
spring" a proverb translated into all
languages. The swallow was honored
by special holiday given to the chill
dren of Attica to celebrate his arrival.

GREATEST PLANE
MOTOR IN WORLD
Most Powerful AirpIane Engine
Ever Built in United States
Made in Detroit.
INTENDED FOR GENERAL USE
Capable OF Driving Machine at 200
Miles an Hour, Says Designer,
One of Liberty Motor Gre
ators-is Fireproof.

Detroit.-A new 100000 horsepower
ever built in this country and the most
powerful in the world except for few
racing freaks, has been completed here.
1t is expected TO develop speeds far
greater than anything yet achieved
In addition 1t is fireprOof, and ii can be
started "cold" after long dive thus
ending two Of the greatest dangers
that aviators have had to face.
This announcement was authorized
by Col. Jesse q. Vincent, designer of
the engine, who Is known as one of
the creators of the Liberty motor.
The new engine, in spite of its great
power, is no freak. 1t is intended for
steady. longtime service, either for
heavy duty or for great speed, and is
designed for American quantity pro-
duction methods.
Made for General Use.
While the men who are handling the
new engine expect that 1t will push a
plane at least 200 miles an hour, the
engine was not designed for this pur-
pose alone, and is capable Of wide and
general use. 1t weighs only 1.94
pounds per horsepower.
The lessons which Colonel Vincent
learned during the war In his study OF
the actual performance of the Liberty
motor, as well as Of the best makes
from both allied and enemy countries,
are embodied In this design, and as a
result there are several notable ad-
vances.
Most important Is that the motor Is
fireproof for all civil purposes. This
has been attained by putting the car
buretor below and outside of the crank
case, with all vents outside the cow
ling so that there Is no possibility of
confagration from q back fire. This
arrangement also has the advantages
that Ii gives gravity feed, thereby
eliminating the weight of extra piping
and of the feed pump, and that II
makes the carburetor much more &C.
cessible.
Exhaust Valves Changed.
Another change has been In provid-
ing two inlet and two exhaust valves
for each cylinder, instead of one. The
result has been bigger and steadler
flow of gas to the cylinders, and n
very high mean effective pressure even
at great speed. A double finger valve
lift Is used, and this permits changes
In the cam-shaft and rocker-arm me.
chanism which make this engine much
superior to any predecessor In the
troublesome matter of leakage from
the cam-shaft housing.
A third change Is In the use OF a
single duplex carburetor, instead OF
the usual two carburetors. The diff
Guilty Of synchronizing the throttle and
altitude controls of two carburetors
has always been bugbear to aviators,
but II had been felt that two or more
were necessary to give the requisite
flow of gas. 1t has been found in the
tests, however, that this single duplex
gives splendid economy and other de-
tails which, In the opinion OF Colonel
Vincent, fully justify the design. He
predicts that II will promptly become
a universal practice with airplane en-
gineers.
