A New Yorker of an observing turn
of mind has recently spent some time
in the subway watching the turn
stiles so round. These, as in many
other cities, are used to record the
passengers entering the subway
trains and also to act as check on
those VINO overlook the little matter
to get by with a bum nickel.
This individual has estimated that
one Of these turnstiles at busy sta
ton will generate one horsepower in
the course of "a hours, and as there
are several trunstiles at each station
and a great number of stations, the
power that is going to waste is some
thing enormous.
Being of an inventive turn of mind
he Is now engaged in designing an
apparatus which will store this pow
err and make some practical use of it.
1t is possible that it will be utilized
to generate heat for the occupants
of the ticket booths in winter and
drive fans for their comfort in sum-
mer. Other suggestions have been
made and it is entirely probable that
the great stream Of people passing
PEELED to work their way" through
the turnstiles.
Berlin-Princess Ludmilla Nimin-
Off Aristova, wife of q former Rus
sian officer. went a step too far when
she forged the name CT the Bohem-
ian Minister to Berlin to documents
which she alleged proved her right
to an English fortune. She narrowly
missed going to jail.
The woman's history is typical Of
hundreds of Russians in European
capitals. She was separated from her
husband and three children in Rus
STA during the civil war and forced to
leave that country as a refugee. She
was driven by misfortune to Con-
stantinople, Athens, Prague, Rome
and Berlin and barely able to keep
herself alive.
Finally. in the hope Of marrying a
Munich business man, who was at
tracted by her beauty, she represented
herself as the heir to a great fortune
which her father had left in London.
She falsified documents to support
this claim. The Esthonian Minister
refused to prosecute when he learned
that the Princess lived as q child in
Dorpat. which is now an Esthonian
city, and the judge expressed SYM
pathy with the woman. The court
remarked that the Princess beauty
would gain her a husband without the
use of fictitious claims being nee
essary.

STRESSES FREEDOM. !:
FROM RAIL. STRIKES
Hooper Holds Transportation
Act Has Proved Entirely
Satisfactory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, December lin the
last two and half years the people
of the United States have enjoyed
virtually complete freedom from the
annoyance of railroad strikes, Ben
w. Hooper, chairman of the Railroad
Labor Boards told the members Of
the Michigan Alumni Club of Chi
cago today.
This condition." he said, lis with
out parallel in the history of our
country
Chairman Hooper declared that now
that the Howell -Barkley bill. which.
he said, was based on the assumption
that "a railroad strike is
none of the peoples business" can
not pass. there is a. movement on foot
to accomplish by indirection what the
Howell Barkley bill sought to effect
bluntly and directly.
Secs No Mandate.
One suggestion he said was that
Congressman could meet Senator
La Toilette half way on railroad
legislation. Chairman Hooper said:
1T is difficult to discern in the result
of the election anything that could
to Congressman to meet Mr.. La
Toilette half way in tinkering with
the transportation act"
Chairman Hooper said that the
measure in process of incubation
would provide a system of arbitration
and elaborate facilities for mediation
and ooncilation. Arbitration, he said,
had been tried and found wanting,
while mediation and conciliation are
fully provided for by law and are ex-
ercised by the Department of Labor.
mo arbitration ever took place
without first hanging a strike vote
over the heads of the arbitrators.'
he said Mediation and conciliation
can compromise and settle many
minor controversies. but there are
many classes Nof conflicting interests
in the world that cannot be decided
by back -slapping and glad handing
The transportation act has not
proven entirely satisfactory. Chair
man Hooper said, but he insisted that
ii undoubtedly had won the conf
dence and approval of the general
public. I'm four years and eight
months there has been only one rail-
road strike of any magnitude he
said and within two weeks of its
inception those responsible recognized
it as disastrous mistake"
