TIMES CHANGE

Nowadays the most expensive thing in the average cellar is the coal sup ply,--James J. Montague.

be more costly every year that it is postponed. The simple, economical movement of men and goods is the se- .cret of the prosperity which itself pro- duces the traffic congestion. You can't break the circle. The two subjects are one. Solution of the transportation problem pre-supposes the necessity, and the Justification of the cost.
 -',> New Condition
 A new condition confronts modern civilization, condition born of chang ing habits and new facts. The chief new fact is the motor vehicle, the only improvement in road transportation since Babyionian times, and its story has been witnessed, in its entirety, within single generation From Pharoah to Victoria the speed of travel was four miles an hour on the road and work ing radius of action of 20 miles a day |; today transportation can average 40 miles an hour with a working radius of 200 miles a day. From Rameses to William Mckinley road transportation stood still.
 The motor vehicle has become the symbol of necessity; the fruits of quick ened and enlarged transportation are more than commensurate with the prob lem the motor vehicle has raised. We only dimly realize that the remote and rocky hills, far from railroads, that are now dotted with homes, villas and man. sions, were barren and almost without value p years ago and today are car ried on the tax rolls at substantial fig ures. But we do know that life is bet ter worth the living. Man, himself of rowing, nomadic disposition, enjoys contact with his fellows as never before. He has burst the bonds that tied him to narrow vocalities. The nation has learn ed neighborliness.
 The motor vehicle, pleasure and com mercial, has become indispensable. It will continue to extend it's usefulness so long as there are tasks left which it can perform better, more economically and more conveniently than any other existing means of locomotive. Traffic congestion and not the satisfying of pub lie demand will set the limit to motor car use.
 Reviewing the cities of this country it is apparent that neither imagination nor courage has been lacking. Condi- tions have Outruh the plans of man, and generation has sufficed to demon strate that the past is inadequate for the present and threatens certain strangulation of the future. Detroit believes this; Detroit's neighbors believe it; and, believing, they have together set out soberly towards what seems a gigantic undertaking, convinced it is practical, economical and inevitable.
 To that end the first step, securing the right of way for PIT miles of SUI per-highways has begun. Tomorrow the land will cost more. The first of the super-highways already are taking shape.
 Detroit presents the super-highway for the consideration of the world, as the solution of the traffic problem and the salvation of American cities.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-09

half mile apart, more or less, both ex- press motor traffic lanes and rapid transit tracks will be raised sufficient ly to pass over the cross streets. Local motor traffic lanes will meet the inter- secting street at grade so that if they wish they may cross under the rapid transit and express motor services will not be subjected to any crossing inter- ferences. They can attain high speeds. Where on the average narrow highway can block traffic here there are two two-car lanes in each direction, four such lanes in all or a width of eight motor vehicles. Traffic tie-ups, the chief delaying factor in road transpor- tation, will be virtually eliminated.
 Enabled to attain high speed, con tinuously, and in safety-and speed is always relative to conditions-the city worker can reside 20 and 30 miles from his place of employment and still spend not more than an hour at the outside in reaching his work. For in addition to the ample provision for motor ve- hicle traffic the S4-foOt central strip provides for an eventual four-track rail transit, two express lines in the center and two local lines, one on either side, all four being in the center of the super highway, and screened from it by trees and shrubs.
 People Live In Country
 Thus, the superhighways, built in CO., operation with the neighboring commun- ities through which they pass, will out reach the furthest residential line of the city workers The city ceases to be city in the old sense and becomes metropolitan area, encouraging its people to build homes in the surround ing country, with all the concomitants of fresh air, good health, and independ- ence. An area such as this destroys at stroke the implied antagonism be- tween urban and rural districts and makes them common ground with common interests and a common popu- lation. Suerhighways, of these dimen- sions, will release those long, tedious lines of motor vehicles which spend hours inching along toward and away from the urban centers.
 The plan, built not for today, but for all time, is applicable to any com munity secure in it's destiny and con fident that industry and commerce if released from the paralysis of traffic congestion, must increase. It, is ap- plicable to any community, whatever that has learned the patent lesson that commerce and industry do increase along the line of ample traffic facili- ties. The super-highway does this, and it transforms the character of the metro politan community and recreates many of those ideal living conditions which the piled-up city tended, per force, to destroy.
 The head of Detroit's Rapid Transit commission, Col. Sidney D. Waldon, one of the foremost authorities on the subject in the world, is convinced that the super-highway is the practical and economical solution for city as well as country, and that the vital, supremely importance factor is to obtain the necessary exclusive right of way with out delay. Whatever the cost, it never can be cheaner thnn today. and must

IBANEZ PLANS
 BOMB ATTACK
 ON KING ALFONSO
Airplane Will Drop Pam phlets Over Spain,
 Says Author
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Nov. 8.-Spain will be bonn barded shortly after November 20 by two airplanes carrying Vicente Blasco Ibanez's anti-King Alfonso pamphlets, the Spanish author announced here to- day, Ibanez, who recently denounced King Alfonso and the military direc- torate, said that his anti-monarchlst diatribe was due to appear the 2Oth of this month He declared that two airplares already had been chartered for the purpose of dropping the pam phlets over all parts of Spain.
 Expects Results
 The first edition of the 1banez pamphlet will total some two million copies and have been printed in Span ish with French editions for distribu- tion in Paris and copies printed in Eng fish for New York. The title will be "Alfonso Thirteenth unmasked, or the militaristic terror Spain.' The author said that he expected great results from these pamphlets.
 Ibanez stoutly denied any attempt at the formation of an anti-directorate junta in Paris.
 "Senor Alba, former minister of for eign affairs, and other Spanish old regime politicians here are in touch with me-" said the author, but no working committee has yet been formed. There is no idea of proceeding to direct action before the issuance of my pamphlet. After that expect that aid will come to us from all sides and an active organization will speedily be formed so that the people of Spain will be aroused"
 Group Inactive
 Senor Alba said that no active anti military directorate organization had been formulated in Paris. His rela- tion with the Ibanez movement. he said, were cordial but not close. He prom ised further explanations concerning the extent of the opposition later.

ON LEONGS LEAD BY B TO 2SCORE
 IN TONG DEATHS
Unlucky Hip Sing Found \ With Head Crushed
 By Hatchet

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Hip Sing tong must wish by this time that it had never incurred the violent enmity of it's rival tong, the On Leong.
 The score in dead men for the na- tion-wide Chinese feud now stands;
 On Leongs, ?.
 Hip Sings; 13.
 The thirteenth Hip Sing to die was noor Low Tai. who lived just far enough outside Chinatown to miss the protection of the heavy police cordon which now guards the Chinese section. and just near enough to furnish tempting easy mark for the hatchets of the enemy.
 Low Tai's body was found in his bed in a pool of dried blood. His head had been crushed by one of the dreaded ..hatchet men" who recently came to tbe east to get. into the Tong war, and the body had been gashed with a knife! Nearby detectives found bloody hatch of. n carpenters hammer and a long knife.
 The condition of the room showed that there had been struggle ana the people on the floor below said they had heard the sounds of violent fight the night of October 26. There has been a great shuffling of feet, babel of voices and finally the stealthy tread of sinking celestials making their way down the stairs.
 Mrs. Mary Makar said she had peeked ont tbe window and had seen five black clad Chinese emerging from the door be- low.
 Police went to Low Tai's room and broke in the door when the Hip, Sing tong called up and said they hadn't. seen ar heard from Low Tai for some time. The Hip Sings were afraid to venture out of Chinatown to look for Low Tai themselves, being afraid of what was subsequently, shown to have happened to Low Tai. N

An Old Land Mark at Grey
Eagle Destroyed by Fire
Last Frame Structure in Village Goes
Up In Smoke Monday Morning
Origin Unknown

Fire Of an unknown origin which
started early Monday morning COM
pletely destroyed the Kielwell build
ing at Grey Eagle. The building had
recently been purchased by Chas. Nc
Dougle of Fargo, N. D., who operat-
ed billiard hall in it.
Just how the fire started is not
known, but it is generally believed
that a cigarette or cigar stump may
have been carelessly thrown on the
floor or that an overheated stove
caused the confagration. The blaze
was discovered at about 400 o'clock
but had gained such Roadway that
the fire department were unable to
save the building, but were success
full in combining the flames and pre-
venting them from spreading to the
Gazette office which adjoined it. The
total loss of building and fixtures is
estimated at $4,000; the loss is but
partially covered by insurance.
The burning of this building marks
the departure Of the last frame build
ing in the business section of Grey
