the passenger will step to the middle
platform, then to the outer platform
and from the latter "strike terra
firma" or the stationary walk.
Another interesting feature of this
contemplated passenger device is,
there may be an inner platform rum
ming at maximum speed and provid
cd with seats. When the platform
is introduced. there will be no wait
ing for trains and $3.50 passengers
can be Accommodated per hour.
MI. Turner further says that it is
part of the plans, to have long
arcade lined with stores alon~ the
entire route in the subway where the
platforms will be running. In this
way, much of the surface traffic will
be relieved. The net cost Of the con-
struction in the 42nd street section
is estimated at S7,500,O00.

WHEN chintz Of attractive color,
" fine pique, and soft velvet
ribbon are put together, they of
themselves establish smartness
of effect that is delightful. But
when a jaunty kimono blouse and
a plated skirt make the silhouette,
then Fashions perfection is evil
dent.
This model has enough value in
color, fabric, and silhouette to be
quite sufficient, but one can add
to this ut launders easily and sat-
isfactorily'-a vital consideration
for summer frocks. Chintz is an
interesting fabric in its quaintness
of design and its combination Of
colors. Sometimes it is made IN
in a regular Pandora's Box If
color, yet so tremendously done
that it is delight to see.
A plain kimono blouse with
scallops carefully shaped suffices
as pattern for the blouse, while
the skirt is of straight lengths Of
material and knife plated to cor
respond with the waist measure
ment.
A fold Of chintz in box-plait
effect covers the blouse opening
at the center back. The velvet
bow and sash may be black or of

prominent color in the chintz.

FIT. TIcoNDERoeA RESTORED

Summer tourists who wcnd their
way in the vicinity of Lake Cham
plain will be able to see TT. Ticondcr-
oga as it looked in Revolutionary
times when Ethan Allen, the YER
monter, gained its. surrender from the
British "in the name of the Great Je-
hovah and the Continental Congress"
This ancient fortress used to guard
the gateway on the water route from
Canada to the Hudson river and was
the strategic point coveted during the
Indian the Colonial, and the Revo-
lutionary hostilities.
After this stronghold was evacuat-
cd by the British in 1850. Americans
were concerned chiefly with the work
of reconstruction and nearby set
tiers tore down much of the fort for
building purposes. The State trans
ferred its ownership to Columbia and
Union colleges. Then it was leased
for a term of years by William Ferris
home in Burlington, Vt. Finally, in
1907, Mr.. Pell purchased the site and
set about restoring the fort. He has
spared no expense and has been ably
assisted by the English architect, AL
fred c. Blossom, and by his fathcr-in-
law, Col. Robert NJ. Thompson. AS
Col. Thompson was a graduate of
West Point, he was able to get much
valuable data from that institution.
The French, British, and Canadian
governments lent a hand" and gen.
erously contributed surveys, official
documents, and even private cor
rcspondence of officers. The best
drawings of the original fort were by
a British spy, Col. Eyre, and it was
constructed in the shape Of a star,
having five points.
Those of us who have visited the
national capitol at Washington. y. c.,
will recall the statue of Ethan Allen,
made of the best Vermont marble.
He was a giant in size and many
claim that it is the best statue in the
capitol. At Fl. Ticondcroga is Ethan
Aliens own chair. Many excellent
oil paintings Of British, French and
American officers adorn the walls and
in the West Barracks a wealth of
military equipment has been collect
ed which was eXcavated during the
work of reconstruction. Grim. gray,
formidable, the old new fort now
stands restored and adds an historic
background to the picturesque beau
ty of the Champlain region.

BETTER THAN EScALAToRS

Escalators for conveying passen-
gers upward are excellent, but NOV
ing platforms for horizontal trans
pcrtation will be most excellent. At
least that is what the commission
who has studied the 4ond street stu
alton in New York City think. The
engineer Daniel L. Turner, explains
the moving platform scheme as fol-
lows:
The idea Of horizontal transport
alton in moving platforms is similar
to that Of the escalator With the
escalator the passengers, instead Of
walking up the steps of a stairway,
remain standing. while the steps
move upward and forward. At the
floor levels the steps f1atten out and
become moving platform, in close
contact with the stationary floor. AS
the moving floor proceeds at a low
speed, 1t is a simple matter for pas
sengers to step from the stationary to
the moving platform or vice versa"
Instead of having only one moving
platform, there will be two or more.
parallel. and running at different
rates of speed. The low-speed plat
form. moving at a walking pace of
three miles an hour will be next to
the stationary walk. The next inner
moving platform will run at twice the
speed OF the first and if desired a
moving platform will run at twice the
speed Of the second, may be added.
