Handsome Residences, Early Aim
1t was the notion of particular

fifties and sixties-to make South
Broad street double line Of decorously
handsome residences and clubs. rather
what lower Charles street was for a
while in Baltimore. and Connecticut
avenue in Washington and Madison
avenue in New York and what Com.
monwealth avenue Is stubbornly still in
Boston.
1t was to replace lower Pine street
and Fourth street. and other streets
near the river as the center of fashion,
society and domestic elegance. As
such 1t was on the whole much shorter
lived than the earlier centers had been.
Dissolution had started by the be-
ginning Of the present century. and
fashionable people were rallying rather
desperately in the envirOns Of Ritten-
house Square. The more farsighted
had even then emigrated to the nearby
country places.

FRANKFORT Z CARS
MAKE GOOD IN TEST
Slight Changes to Be Made
After Trial on Market
Street Line
MANY MODERN FEATURES

The Frankford l. cars have gone into
action and made good.
They had n try -out on the tracks Of
the Market street elevated and made the
journey from Sixty ninth street to
South street without serious mishap.
Although somewhat longer than the
Market street l. cars and slightly diff
ferent in general structure. they negoti-
ated the various turns and kinks in the
line without particular. trouble.
While many tests have been made
the best was obtained yesterday when
two Of the new type cars went the
distance named in the regular schedule
time.
Changes Are Needed
Before these cars run regularly, how.
ever, a slight change in the track rails
will hnve to be made In the subway
below Twenty third street and number
of minor readjustments made In the
cars.
Representatives Of the City Transit
Department. who rode on the new cars
over their maiden trip. said that some
changes were anticipated. They said.
however. that the cars behaved much
better than they expected.
When the first test journey was made
the FTankford two car train was COM
PEELED to hesitate Mt Market street ferry
and turn back to Sixty-ninth street:
Several projecting beams on the roof
of the station ut this point caused this
action.
The roof Of the Frankford car is
semi -elliptical in shape and the ventila-
tors project sidewise from the top.
These yentilators struck the projecting
beams and there was series of quick
bumps, which slightly scratched the roof
of the car.
On the day following this test the
beams were sawed off TO clear the space
and the Frankford train later made the
trip without trouble.
Make Smoother Run
Cars Of the Market street l. have
their ventilators on top and therefore,
had no trouble in passing the ferry sta
ton.
No matter how the new Frankford L
cars "behave" as the engineers put 1t,
the city cannot lose. 1t is plainly speci-
fed in the agreement with J. G. Brill
which built the cars, that
each must run 100 miles before it is
accepted.
On account Of the up. to date fea-
lures of the new type cars there is great
demand among the !. engineers or
motormen to get the Frankford l. run.
As a result Of the improvements the
work on these coaches will be much
easier than on the Market street line,
and 1t is said the daily journeys will
'e much smoother.
One big improvement is the auto.

SEES BIG GAINS
FOR ASTRONOMY
No Other Science in World So
Well Organized, Dr.. J. A.
Miller Says
PRAISES ROME Meeting

"No science since the world began 1,
80 we'll organized as astronomy, as Q
result of the recent meeting Of the In.
ternational Astronomical Union ir
Rome"
DR.. John A. Miller, head Of the de-
partment of astronomy at Swarthmorc
College, and director of the Sproul OBJ
scrvatory who has returned from the
conference, made this statement today.
Further he predicts great strides in
astronomy within the next three years.
The great work of the conference,
as he expressed It, was that the
nations pooled their astronomical find
ings and took inventory Of the equip
ment which exists today in the world
for research
The International Union was organ
ized In 1910 in Brussels by twenty
nations that were allied or neutral in
the war. They divided the entire
science Of astronomy into thirty de-
partments and assigned each to COM
mission. The commissions gave their
reports at Rome. DR.. Miller, who is
a member of the commission on stellar
parallax, was back at work in the OBJ
scrvatory the very next morning fol-
lowing his return home. The princi-
pal work done at the Sproul obser :
vatory is measuring the distance of
stars by measuring the angles they
form with the earth-that Is getting
the parallax Of stars.
Spirit Of Co. operation
Seated at his desk in the obscrva- :
tory, DR.. Miller enthusiastically told
of the spirit of cooperation which pre-
vailed among the 125 scientists from
the different nations.
"The report which took the least time
and attention Of the conference. he
said, was the one on change of calen-
dar, but It il the one which attracts
the interest of people the most.
'The proposed change of the Calen-
dar which was to be considered by the
union was to have the same number Of
days in every month, and TO have the
same day of the week come on the
same date every month and every year.
Thus there would be thirteen months
and an extra day, which day would be
New, Years Day and would not come
on the calendar. Leap year, there would
be two extra days for New Years.
Easter would come on the same date
every year."

SANDWICH. England. June 10.
-on the first day Of the tryout
your boys did well. walter Hagen
went out early this morning on the
Princes course which is the more
difficult of the two which are be-
ing used for the qualifying rounds.
followed him for eight holes and
he played every shot much accord
ns to what the doctor would or
der.
His total at the eighth hole was
80. an average of As. There / left
him realizing that very little harm
could possibly happen. He was hit
ting the bal too truly for any
possibility of disaster. He is a
better golfer than he was when he
was over here last year.
Hutch shows the Way.
The feat of the day. was the score
Of II for Jock Hutchlson. OF Chi
cago. premier title holder. / was
out watching Joe Kirkwood and
Jock in turns. Both went in
hurricane style. each being 30
at the turn. Then came the
long beat home against the wind.
Jock lasted best and finished IN II
Ia wonderful score and nobody
was more pleased than Jock. Kirk
wood fell away at the finish and
was as. a very good score for ths
Princes course.
Now We come to Barnes. the
American open champion. He went
merrily on his way on the outward
half. taking his task in a very light
hearted spirit. For nine holes he
had taken IS strokes. quite a COM
forting ngure In a qualifying stage,
but at the twelfth he hooked his
tee shot and IT finished inside OF a
COW shed. Barnes accepted the sit
uation In a serious spirit and to
make sure. he played the succee l.
ing shot in three different ways
and eventually finish in 80. Blu,
Barnes will qualify without doubt
He has an easier task tomorrow
when he plays his second on ST
| Georges course. According &c
present indication, a total OF le.
will put anyone in the select cfrcis
for the champion play Thursday
and Friday.

Today's play certainly tended &c
enhance the prospects of the Am.-,
ican trio. Hutchison started viii
brilliant effort and Hagen has gou-
long way to indorse the opinis on
of his American supporters and al
the same time impress the British
ers who were inclined to be a LITTLE
doubtful about his ability to pro-
duce his best on a seaside course.
The comparatively poor showing
