UNTYING TRAFFIC KNOTS

m HE city plan commission undertaking readust
ment of traffic in Indianapolis to do away with of the
congestion The commission has number of good but
pensive ideas.
One of the changes contemplated calls for belt line around
the city for transportation of nerurban freight possibly
waited lines for nerurbans The plans contemplate
routing of nterurban to make their in the city
rapid and the establishment of major high speed automobile
thoroughfares with heavy traffic side
Presumably it would be up to the nrurban companieso
build at least to contribute large share of the expense of
building the belt road and the elevated tracks With growth
of the automobile vehicle of ongdstance transportation the
inerurban business has been good There evidence
that roads having struggle continue their
business That they would build belt railroad elevated
tracks is highly improbable The irony of the situation
that these things proposed make for automobiles
The proposal for the establishment of high speed thorough
fares with slow, heavy traffic side good This al
ready has been worked Meridian St. Capitol Ave. Maple
Road and similar thoroughfare Perhaps oneway traffic
certain streets will be the eventual solution
To any who travels nterurban proposal
they be reroued to speed them inside the city appears be
well founded Why for nterurbans
far before they reach the saton To
appear they frequently travel farther than necessary avoid
congestion in the business district

Science

Heart disease is now one OF the
chief dangers to people Of all civilized
countries, especially the United States.
The heart action above or below nor
NAL generally indicates a bad con-
dition. However. a person with a
very slow heart, provided this is not
the result Of some defect, has every
chance Of living to a great age and
has ability to endure mental and
physical hardships. This heart action
indicates endurance and lack of
nerves" The most noted historical
example Of this condition was Napol-
cen. His heart averaged only fifty
seven beats a minute, while normal
is ". Napoleon often asked Con-
slant, his valet. and others to listen to
his heart They never were able to
detect any sound or movement. His
physician, Corvisart, had difficulty In
counting 1t. Among other peculiar
physical and mental traits, probably
due to his slow heart action, Napoleon
was able to sleep at will
A more recent example was Battling
Nelson, a pugilist noted for great
endurancef whose heart average was
around sixty when he was champion.
Prof. Nicholson, the American
astronomer who invented the inter
ferometer, which measures the dame
ters of stars, has found the diameter
of Arcturus to be 10000, 900 of miles
The circumference of this star is,
therefore, nearly 100000 OF miles.
The earth's circumference is roughly
$4,000 miles. A railroad train speed
Ing at sixty miles an hour without
stop would cover ,4AO miles a day.
I'd travel clear around Arcturus at
the same speed would take, therefore,
over 80 years. A bullet travelling
one mile a second would require five
years to go all around the star.

The conversation goes like this:
business is taxed to death. It's
the high taxes that cause stagna-

Il wouldn't mind paying the taxes if
l thought the "money were spent
wisely. But most of it is wasted. We
might as well burn it up"
Labor is crazy Just as soon as
things get going, what happens? A
strike"
well after all, can you blame them
for striking? They'd never get decent
pay If they didn't"
THE railroads are to blame. Rates
are so high business is handcuffed."
But look at the wages the rail
roads pay. Look at the high cost of
every supply. Look at coal, for in

Am l the WORKS? 1 should Singer

Once in a while naught can touch

You've got the number of fate;
Sorrow and sadness can't clutch you
Gee, but such moments are great!
When all the heavens seem tender
All of the flowers dew-pearled,
When you're King in your splendor
Sittin' on top Of the world!
Once in a while you're a wonder,
Anyway, that's how you feel,
You are a marvel, by thunder!
You are the star OF life's reel.

Then to the depths you are hurled
But, while 1t lasts it is splendid,
