TROLLEYS MAKING USE OF
 MOTOR VEHICLES

A trade news item from Akron, O., states that "the automobile bus transportation busi- ness is growing faster than was expected, even by the most optimistic of rubber manufac- turers.]
 It is declared that there are over 25,000 buses in operation in the country today and other year at the rate that new systems are being inaugurated., That the automobile bus and the trolley car may be used advantageous ly as complements to one another in the same system of transportation is indicated in state ment with reference to what is being done in Akron, as follows
 "In Akron, where the Northern Ohio Light and Traction company first used buses as feed, CTS to it's street car system and as competitors of the independent bus lines, over 25,OOO per- sons ride buses daily. The street car system hauls an average of 125,ooo persons daily. The company started to operate three buses several months ago and is now operating twelve, with two buses in reserve. Throughout the United States similar reports are available"
 The problem of the trolley is what to do with the inroads of the automobile. Akron seems to have tackled the problem in practical man ner It is meeting competition with competi- tion.

IRISH PAPER TELLS HOW SINN FEN STARTED

A communication from the Anglo Celt, ot Cavan, in the Ulster province of Ireland, con- tains some interesting information about the origin of "Sinn Fein," which has played such conspicuous part in the fight for Irish inde- spendence. The Age-Herald is indebted to the editor of the Anglo-Celt for short history of the term and the movement with which it is associated.
 k The Gaelic language revival of the early nineties created desire among the Irish peo- ple to obtain better knowledge of their na- tive tongue. Because of scarcity of text books, and other difficulties, the Anglo-Celt its editor states, engaged Richard O'Shea, an au- 'thority on Gaelic, to contribute a.weekly col- umn, in which he gave primary instruction to Beginners and later on lessons to more ad- vanced pupils. Other newspapers gave simi lar assistance to their readers.
 The language revival led to another move ment to revive Irish industries and induce the s{rish people to buy home-manufactured goods. To promote this campaign a small monthly spaper was established and printed at the Anglo ~Celt office. It was called "Sin Fein."
 The paper was issued for about a year, and was the work of personal friends of Arthur Griffith, the Free State president, who died recently, and was regarded, with his equally 1amented colleague, Michael Collins, as one of 1rsIand's greatest leaders. At this time (19o5) Fl Griffith was editor of paper called the

LAST GREAT DRIVER
 OF THE PLAINS
From the New York Herald.


 Cannonball Green, or, as the world came to know him in his retirement, D. R. Green, died few days ago at Long Beach, Cal In the early days of the west beyond the Missouri Green was pioneer driver. He broke many of the stage routes across the prairies and held the reins on the first six-horse coaches over the Rockies and along the old Santa Fe tran to the Pacific coast
 Green was born in 1888. In his youth he went west from New York state along the old National road. Nothing impressed him so much on the journey the highly decorated coaches he passed. His earliest ambition was to drive with the skill shown by Jeph Riggle, Philip Slipe, Quill Smith and others of the renowned drivers on that famous old highway.
 He realized this boyhood ambition 50 years ago when at the end of drive the noun tains from Kansas he was asked to compete at San Francisco in program of frontier events at a state fair. Green drove 16 horses, part of them practically unbroken to harness, to his great numbering mountains coach around the show ring Then when he had his team pushed to it's full speed he whirled it in a figure eight and brought it to dead stop in front of the judges box. The best drivers of the coast were in the competition, but they agreed his feat and the skill and dash with which it was performed entitled him to first prize.
 In his early life Green was one of the post riders of the prairies and shared with Buffalo Bill, Bill Rickok and other noted scouts of the day the dangers from Indians and bad men in those long solitary rides. When the railroads pushed westward he drove stages from the end of the lines at Abilene, Fort Riley and Fort Dodge to the more advanced outposts of the white mans civilization.
 He finally became the owner of coaches and pushed his own lines out into the southwest. He had first line from Wichita to King man. He extended this westward to Greens burg named in his honor, the present county seat of Kiowa county, Kansas. When Okla homa and the Cherokee strip were opened to settlement he laid out new lines irto the Texas panhandle. The Cannonball coaches became the most famous of all survivals of pioneer day transportation, and they continued the links between civilization and remote settlements until the extension of the railroad lines put an end one by one to their service
 Cannonball Green had no fear of the plains. the red men or wild animals. But several years ago, as he used to tell the story, he came to New York and on the invitation of the owner of one of the finest turnouts in the city he attempted to drive tallyho along Fifth ave- nue. "That city traffic. It was worse than dodging buffaloes and Indian arrows he said afterward. He tried it only once. With Greens death perhaps passed the last of the famous old western stage lines and the great est of the pioneer stage drivers.

PRAISES DIXIE BEAUTIES

"This is my first trip south" said M. K. Mahle, capitalist, of northern Ohio, "and l must say that Birmingham has the most beau tiful girls of any southern city that it has been my pleasure to visit. Of course, we have wonderful looking girls in the north, but they can in no way compete with the bellies south of the Mason and Dixon line.
 When I was younger l often heard of the so-called southern beauty, but l thought that i. was merely an exaggeration. l have spent seven months in the south and have found that the girls are more beautiful than l ever im- agined could possibly exist in this age of the flapper. Truly, the southern girl is, without a doubt, the premiere of Americas young womanhoodp
