keen-edged woodmen's axe cuts it in
half without even touching Duncan's
hand. Beat that he seems to say.
Duncan turns around, takes potato

sharp edged axe he also cuts the DO

LONDON OVERCOMING
 BUSY TRADE CENTER

LONDON. - Lord Montagu of Beaulieu predicts that within a few years the congestion of traffic in central London will compel the building of overhead railways and of higher buildings. Neither street railways nor tubes, as they exist today. he says, will be adequate to convey the daily traffic.
 The skyscrapers of New York, he adds, are magnificent and strikingly beautiful. The atmosphere above the streets is far purer than lower down, and the more or less perma. nent smoky layer over London is seldom higher than 150 feet in nor. nal weather.
