BERWYN AND BROADWAY

Human nature is pretty much
-the same the world over.
There are certain traits and in
s,incts. which all OF US have. We
do not all show them in the same
manner and to the same degree
but we possess them nevertheless.
The degree and manner are affected
largely by our mode OF life.
One OF these instincts is curl
osity. 1t, possibly more than any
other is affected by environment.

The man is accustomed to seeing
new styles, new inventions and new

But let something out of the

curious as the boy in the country

New York showed how curious
it could be when Georges Clemen-
ceau, former premier of France,
rode down Broadway in an auto
mobile on landing in this country
last week. "The Tiger of France"

excited their curiosity.
Office boys, clerks, stenographers,

GOOD OLD DAYS

Do you get impatient when you
have TO wait in a railroad station
for train that is late? And keep
watching the bulletin board to see
il the bad news, after all, may not
prove to be a mistake! Nothing
worse than waiting ior delayed
traili--unleSs its waiting i'll dent
lists office.
An old-timer, reminiscing in the
Wall Street Journal, tells OF peo-
pie who waited for trains 7S years
ago in Chicago.
There was no telegraph there in
those days. SO John B. Turner,
had an observatory built on top OF
Chicago's first depot in l849.
Turner had his oiiice in the tower.
Using marine telescope, he watch
ed through the window for incom-
ing trains. The telescope enabled
him to spot an approaching train
as far as Austin, six miles away.
Then Turner would shout the
glad news downstairs and the i'm
patient travellers would sigh with
relief and marvel at the benefits
conferred on humanity by that great
scientific achievement, the telescope.
Today the location of approach
ing and departing passenger trains
is known with precision, thanks to
telegraph, telephone and radio.
You can look at the depot bull
letin board and know whether a
train, not due for hours, is on time
OF late.
Even better, you can telephone
to the station, miles away. If the
train is reported delayed, you wait
in your comfortable home until tim:
ior the train, instead OF in a dismal
station.
Great strides? The everyday
commonplace services which we
take as a matter OF course in mod
err times would have been magical
luxuries back in lS49.
Somehow, though. the telegraph
and telephone and radio appeal to
