Chains End Joyriding
In City Machines
of Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, May o.
The city's automobiles having
been shelved to reduce ex-
penses, Mayor Magee has is
sued an order to Chief Clerk
Harry Speaker to chain and
paddock every machine in the
city's garages because city en-
ployes are taking them out for
joy rides.
Some time ago the mayor
and city council agreed to try
the taxicab system for a time
to ascertain if this were cheaper
than the upkeep of automobiles.
The taxicab bills to date have
averaged less than the gasoline
cost for the city's machines.

New types of birds, beasts and
isheS are constantly being produced
pE the crossing of the breeds already
existing.
IT IS almost entirely owing to mans
experiments in this direction that
thefe are so many different kinds of
do2s. According to naturalists. there
are almost 200 varieties Of this ami
NAL.
y good example Of the "manurac-
tured' dog is the whippct. evolved by
crossing of terriers, greyhounds
and Italian greyhounds.
Experiments were begun short
time ago with the object of breeding
a new Kind of poultry by the cross
ing OF turkeys. geese and fowls.
Efforts are also being made to pro-
duce two new types of bees. one kind
TO. supply more honey, and the other
more effectively to fertliZe the
flowers
The latest evolution OF this kind is
the coWIo. This new animal is a
cross between the COW and buffalo,
and 1t is being reared in Northern
canada. The coWlo is the outcome
of q strenuous attempt to breed an
animal which could withstand the
hard climate of those parts and also
thrive on the native grasses.
The effort has been highly success
ful and the cowlo is fine hefty
beast weighing something over a ton.
Experiments with horses are now
being conducted, and as a result n

IL You Walk At Night

Pedestrians on country roads are
advised to walk on the left side OF
the road, facing oncomlng traffic.
Courtesy on the part of the auto
mobile driver demands the use OF
dmmed lights at night and this fac
tor, while it contributes to the safety
of passing motorists. makes 1T dlfh-
cult for the automobile driver to see
pedestrian walking along the edge
Of the road in the same direction !he

creased if the pedestrian wears dark

says. THE United States Govern.
ment has done nothing OF this kind
since the Civil War.
There Is genuine need for
elasticity in the volume OF cur.
rency. and for machinery to ad-
Just It to the legitimate needs of
the country. The means provided
are the Federal Reserve Banks, au-
thorized to issue currency to their
member banks. either in payment
of deposits or for loans.
SideTraeked Like Freight Cars
More currency Is needed in Sep.
TENDER. October. November and
December than in January and
February. As business slackens.
currency naturally retires from
circulation. Money accumulates
in the member banks and they send
It in to the Reserve banks. which
in effect retires 1t, as freight cars
are retired when traffic falls of.
What caused the great imitation
OF credit and currency? 1t was due
primarily to the war. which made
extraordinary demands upon the
