SHOPMAN'S PART IN
STREET CAR SERVICE

01 1NkIcI OTAAe 1Az4S ~
One Of the first trials Of an electric
railway a held in New Jersey was
unsuccessful because a comparative
ly small hill halted progress.
The electric car of today picks up
a load Of ten, fifteen or twenty tons
and carries it up the steepest grade.
Apparently the only human effort is
the turning of a controller handle.
You see no complicated machin-
ery-the trolley pole, the controller
box and the air brake handles are
about the only mechanism visible.
Yet, the electric car is one Of the
great achievements of electrical and
mechanical science, and the compar-
alive simplicity Of its machinery is
the result of an astonishing series of
inventions and improvements, while
its dependability is the result OF Wig
lance and care by the shopman.
Public Service Railway has nearly
nine hundred men at work In it's car
houses and shops. Each year they
replace some $500 car wheels and
more than $4,000 brake-shoes and
overhaul upwards of 1000 motors.
Constant inspection, frequent re-
newals and many requirements help
to make the street car the safest
method Of street transportation that
the world knows.

interesting facts from these graduations.
OF ll5 graduates from a technical high
school. 90 per cent are going on to further
study in colleges and TECHNICAL schools. Sixty
six per cent of the senior class in an academic
high school will go on to institutions OF
higher learning.
When the technical high school was still
in the experimental stage it was frowned on
from some quarters as a "frill. In those
DAYS its advocates maintained that it was
needed to keep in school a few years longer
many pupils who would othcrWlS, drop out
after grammar school Ii was believed that
4 wear or two OF technical training i'll high
school would better fit these boys and girls
for early Jobs. and il was hoped that II might
keep some pupils interested in schooling who
would otherwise drop out from indifference
The technical school has done these things

education AMI has sent larger percentage OF

III SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

just the moment YOU apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching
burning or broken out skin, the
itching stops and healing begins
saws a noted skin specialist. ms
sulphur preparation, made into a
pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery ecz-
ema, that nothing has ever been
found to take it's place.
Because Of its germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and
heals the eczema right up, leay-
ing a clear, smooth skin in place
of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples
or roughness.
You do not have to wait for
improvement. 1t quickly shows.

fer, from one set OF citizens TO another set,
Of money previously earned. As Jar as the
community as a whole is concerned there Is
no economic gain.
On the other hand, money received from
the production of power by utilizing a natural
resource previously wasted is money made,
1t represents wealth created and added to the
tangible wealth already existing.
There would be simple parallel in the
economic difference between collecting $780,
600 year from people ilocking to look at
an idle coal mine and actually mining and
marketing 100000 worth of coal. In the
former case, the community only has the
money; in the latter, it has botn the money
and the coal.
