WONDERS
OF AMERICA
THE DEVILS TOWER
BY 7. I. MAXEY
q, Western Newspaper Union.

THIS peculiar freak Of nature
i which has become one Of Uncle
Sans National Monuments, is located
near Sundance in northeastern Wyo-
ming. 1t is gigantic rock, 600 feet
high, probably go feet in diameter at
the top and a mile around at the
base. Rising sheer from the level
plain. II Is visible in some directions
for almost a hundred miles.
Undoubtedly this tower was useful
to primitive races as we'll as to early
pioneers as a landmark. IT'S thought
that during the subsequent Indian
wars members Of the Sioux and Crow
tribes directed their marches by the
aid Of fires and other signals flashed
from this ever-visible tower.
As one approaches this monstrous
rock, his amazement and awe In
creases, because It seems incredible
that any force Of Nature could have
carved this solitary monument.
To climb to the top would seem an
impossibility, yet 1t is said that a
number Of years ago a man and
woman accomplished this feat sue
cessfully.
Now that the war is behind US and
Uncle Sam has more time to devote
to home matters. II seems not unlikely
that he may deem 1t advisable tC
send an expedition to the top Of his
new possession and cause a series Of
stairways to be constructed for the
accommodation and convenience o.

Eve-Strain Of the Movies.

The members of the Illuminating
Engineering Society Of England re-
Gently appointed a committee to in
yestigate the subject Of eye-strain
caused by watching moving pictures.
This committee found that the chief
strain on the eyes comes from the
pictures being shown too high up, so
that the eyes Of the spectators in the
front rows have to be raised.
1t recommends that the height of a
picture on the screen is such that the
angle formed by lines from the center
Of the top and the center of the bot
tom to the eye Of a spectator In the
front row be not greater than 81 lie

ALBANY, Feb. 11.--A heavy fall of wet

ing trolley cars to-day either in Albany
or Troy. The activities of the strike

tracks. which had been covered during
the night with two inches of hard packed
snow. During the day the gangs of men
cleared about three-quarters of mile
in Albany, but it began to snow again
soon after they returned to the barns
tonight.
Similar conditions prevailed in Troy
and no attempt was made to operate
cars in either city. There was no
trouble with the strikers or sympathizers
either in Troy or Albany, the State police
furnishing heavy guards for the strike
breakers who worked on the tracks.
In Troy this morning Patrick j..

for arbitration. They refused to make q

a side road.
The SIX prisoners of the bandits were
ordered to get out. Pedro Salamandra
gave the following account Of what then
happened:
"As we were obeying two of the rob-
bers began to slug us over the heads
with biackjacks. My brother said Don't
XIII me. You've got the whiskey. I'll
give you $500 to let me GO.

and Barnabea got away. too. Hiding in
the bushes, heard shots and my brother
cried: I'm dyingv Then 1 heard the
car drive away and / came out and
found my brothers body. l walked to a
farmhouse and telephoned Trenton"
When the alarm was given the police
of every village within fifty miles of
New Brunswick were notified. Half an
hour later Frank Sala. a Brooklyn cloth
ing contractor. driving his car from Bal
timo reto Brooklyn, with two friends as
passengers. stopped in the western out
skirts of New Brunswick to take on gas.
AS his car was standing in the high
way Cadillac coming at high speed
from the south, carrying only one light,
struck it and slsidded into the fence on
the side of the road. After trying in
vain to repair their Cadillac and roundly
cursing Sala, the three men asked him
to take them to New Brunswick. They
said they were Government agents on a
special mission.
Another car then drew up and took the
three men on to New Brunswick. AS the
men left the car at the railroad station
they told its driver, Samuel Adler, a milk
dealer, that If he would drive back to the
Cadillac he would find a dead body in
the tonneau of the car.
Adler went to the police, and on re-
turning to the spot where the CADILLAC
had gone into the fence they found

HYLAN PLEADS FOR BUSES
Uses Williamsburg Bridge
Threat to Boost Bill for
Vehicle Service.

Lindley NJ Garrison, receiver for the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. an
nounced yesterday that the general re-
pair shops OF the company will be shut
down one week this month and one
week next month and that the inspec-
ton shops will be operated five days a
week instead of six, as heretofore. The
reason, the receiver said, is that work.
which had piled up in the shops since
the strike. has become normal again.
and this means Is taken to avoid
the alternative of laying off con-
siderable number of employees. The
order will affect about $500 persons.
Since the first of the year. Mr.. Garri-
son added. 300 employees have been laid
off, largely in the surface repair shops,
because of decrease in the amount of
work. due to the discontinuance OF a
number of surface lines.
Alfred NJ. Barrett. Public Service
Commissioner. addressed letter to w.
S. Henden. general manager OF the New
York Consolidated Railroad Company.
to ascertain whether the curtailment of
shop work would result in neglect OF
repairs sufficient to reduce rush hour
service. He was informed that 1t would
not.
Mr.. Garrison indicated yesterday that
he may welcome the projected petition
of Franklin Taylor attorney represent
ing Joseph +. Curren, an erstwhile pa
tron of one of the defunct trolley lines,
to the Attorney General to move for the
revocation of the franchise of the Mas
sau Electric Company for failure to op-
crate certain lines.
Mayor Hylan took advantage yester-
day of the injunction suit of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company seeking to
prevent the city from operating a mu-
nicipal trolley line over the Williams
burg Bridge as an excuse for boosting
his bill pending at Albany authorizing
the city to operate munsicipal bus lines,
and urged the people of the city to use
pressure on their Albany Representa-
tives for the passage of the Mayors
bill.
The Mayors statement said:
1.-THE receiver of the B. r. T.. Mr..
Garrison, not resident of the city Of
New York, was appointed a receiver by
a Federal Judge and insubstance states

II you (the people) install and operate
your own cars over your own tracks

How long will the people Of this
great city submit TO such threats? The
answer is in your hands. The Board of
Estimate and Apportionment by unani-
nous vote authorized the presentation
of a resolution to the Governor request
ing that he give his support to bill
submitted on behalf of the city permit
ting the people of the city to own and
operate it's own bus service. The Cow
ernor and the Legislature should give
the people of the city of New York the
right to municipality own and operate
buses. The dangerous power OF the

Money From People of Hon.
est Convictions

The "soulless, sordid. goddess world

ITO wipe out every vestige of laws pro-
tecting Sunday" with motion pictures
and baseball as the fright wing of the
worldly array" did not seem greatly
perturbed yesterday at DR.. Harry L..
Bcwlbys latest verbal barrage.
There is nothing new about it," said
Paul Gulick of the Universal Film COM
pany. "Bowlby and his crowd pick on
the motion picture people because they
think we will come back quicker. These
professional reformers are simply look
ing for soft salaried positions, and we
have proven It time and again. All they
want is the money they get from people
with honest convictions.
I'VE believe the present laws are eff
fective. Sunday motion pictures are a
matter to be settled by the majority,
and do not think any majority objects
to pictures being shown on Sunday after
church hours"

picture interests are controlled by "a
group of Jews unfaithful to their re-
ligious traditions" was too contempti-
BILE to answer" S. l.. Rothafel, manager
OIL tne Capltol Iheatre, SAID
"If Sunday motion pictures should be
cut out" Mr.. Roshafel said, theatres
like the Capitol. Strand, Rivoli and Ri
alto could not be maintained at present
prices. The capacity audiences Sunday
prove the popularity of Sunday pic
lures"
Samuel Goldwyn, producer, said the
movies have done more to stimulate
good than any other medium and more
to bring families together The reform
ers through with liquor, have taken up
Sunday blue laws as their particular
business. Mr.. Goldwyn declared. If the
Jews control the industry it is a COM
pliment to the race, he thought.
William Jennings Bryan had a word
to say on the subject of the anti-Sab-
bath observance crusade and the blue
laws yesterday. In an interview at Mi
ami Fla. where Mr.. Bryan is passing
the winter. he told the Rev. John II.
Wiley of the Lords Day Alliance the
term "blue law" was IAN inexcusabie
epithet hurled against any Sabbath re-
striction." The Bryan statement, which
will appear in the Lords DGy Leader,
was released to the press by DR.. Bowlby.
1t says in part:
"The anti-Sabbath observance crusade
has reached a point where its purpose

''It will be noticed that it claims to be
defensive, when as n matter of fact 1t
is distinctly aggressive. The attack has

repeal of laws intended to prevent the
