Answers to Questions

CURIOUS TO settle a dispute.
please inform me where the first street
railway was laid in the United States.
The first passenger street track in
the world was laid in New York City.
1t was the Fourth avenue (Harlen)
street railroad. which was chartered in
the City of New York in 1881. IT was
built on the Bowery and was opened
for travel from Prince street to the
present site Of Union Square in No
vember 1892. The vehicles were
drawn by two horses, and were fash
toned somewhat after the style OF the
stage coach of that time. On the day
Of the opening, the Mayor and the city
councilmen and other invited guests
made the first trip over the line. A
large number Of people gathered to
see the new cars make their start and
even the most skeptical of the number
were obliged to confess that the new
horse cars were a success and design
ed to prove great convenience to the
public. The road was extended to
Murray Hill in 1888. and reached the
Harlem River in 1889. Fares were
paid in silver sixpences Of the old
Spanish currency then in circulation

Keep on Learning

The average graduate of high school or a
college is prone to believe the necessity Of learn
ing has ceased as soon as the school door closes
behind him. The exceptional graduate keeps on
studying and learning. 1t doesn't require a
prophets vision to tell who will become leader.
The reason why many so-called self-made
men distance college graduates is because they
are constantly on the quest of information to be
used in their caings. They are Unsuitable in
their thirst for knowledge, derived from books,
observation and experience. Their very lack of
early training intensifes their desire to over
come the handicap by study, and so they reap
the tangible reward of their diligence and indus
try in continuous prosperity and honors
If the young men and women who are leaving
the schools and colleges this month would remem-
Der that the school of life closes until the
tombstone covers the pupil, they would bring to
their new tasks an earnestness of purpose which
would make them real strivers in this world,
stunning mediocrity and seeking knowledge
about their calling and profession.
Self-made men and college graduates who
have attained prominence, honor and wealth, are
students. They never reach the point where they
know everything. They are constantly learning
and that is why they are constantly making
progress. The self-satisfied man. who deceives
himself into believing that there is nothing new
to be learned in his trade, business and profess
sion, is hopelessly lost and in blind alley from
which there is no escape.
Keep on learning, for knowledge is power.

ment
If the government succeeds in greatly reduc-
ing costs by establishing a standardization of
materials and processes, without creating uni
formity of exterior and interior design, it will
effectively solve the housing problem. Many
building authorities, however, doubt if the cost
of construction can be lowered materially by the
adoption of standardized materials, for other fac
tors, including labor, are much more expensive
than the materials which enter into the building
of house. Unless a reduction can be effected
in these particulars the cost will not be lowered
enough to make much difference in the amount
of money required for the investment

Standardization in Home Building

Standardization of materials and processes is
proposed by the administration to revive and
cheaper building operations. The deficiency ap-
preparation bill transfers S1s5,OOO from a pre-
vious appropriation for the census bureau to the
bureau of standards for investigation along this
line. A senate bill provides for the creation of a
permanent division of construction and housing.
A Washington dispatch carries the following
statement, prepared by the department of COM
merce:
Standardization of structural units and material has
already been undertaken En- gland infancy
in this country Standardization does not contemplate the

The country will gratefully receive any meth
cd to reduce the cost of erecting homes. The
housing shortage cannot be attributed to a dis
inclination to build, but to the excessive cost of
constructing home. Millions of dollars are
ready for investment in homes so soon as the
cost is sufficiently reasonable to lure the money

AUGUST TOURISTS
POUR IN AND OUT
OF GATES AT GLEN

Many tourists still are taking ad-
vantage of the camping grounds at the
Glen Miller park according to the re-
ports of Ed Hollarn, park superintend-
ent. Over the past weekend over 10
tourists parties took advantage OF the
camping grounds.
All of the tourists commented on
the fine spring water that is obtained
at the park. They also stated that
this was practically the only city PARK
in the country that would allow tour
lists to camp.
Several of the Saturday night camp
ers stayed over Sunday to attend the
chautauQua, among them being M I.

! A. E. Wuaite from Bloomington, III,
a member of the Rotary club Of that
city, told Mr.. Hollarn that the club of
| that city was having a camping ground
made in the Bloomington public park
I for tourists. The idea of making this
park was taken from the Glen Miller
camping grounds.
All the tourists who have camped
in the grounds are not registered in
the official book to date, but including
Aug. II, $40 cars of tourists have spent
the night there. Mr.. Hollarn stated
that there has been about $50 cars to
date that have spent the night on the
camping grounds.
The reason for the large number OF
cars in the past two weeks is due TO
the fact that the Michigan tourists
camped at the park on Aug. 81. The
party included 81 carloads of people
This is the largest party that has

REQUEST
BAN ON EXCISE TAX

Petitions were circulated in Rich
mond Tuesday asking for the ellmlna-
ton of the excise tax on musical IN
struments. The petitions will be for
warded to Senator Watson. The text
follows:
Senator James E. Watson:
I'VE, the undersigned, voters of the
state of Indiana, join together to urge
your active support toward the elm
ination of the excise tax on musical
instruments. We believe that the in
fluence of music in the home is for
the betterment of the nation, and that
the present tax is an impeachment to
the progress of this broadening and
educational art. Music is a symbol
of peace, as well as a martial
accompaniment; it feeds the soul
soothes the sick. encourages the
weary, and generally aids happiness.
To burden its virtues equally with
the expenditures of extravaganza
argues poorly for the education of the
future genera tons.
Give Us your help"
