Everybody on this train is going to
Palm Beach, via the Seaboard Air
Line. A solid row of twelve Pullman
cars left New York via the Pennsyl-
vania Sunday evening at seven-five

The train travels along the edge of
the Atlantic, carrying its precious
freight of which 90 per cent would be
about as useful in heaven as it is on
earth. Philadelphia, Washington, Rich
rnond fly past, and Jacksonville that
one day may be greater than all of
them, as the seaport of southern
empire.
A young Czecho- Slovakian, assisted
by all the people in his town, is work
ing at the problem of transmitting
power without wires. Whoever solves
that can command hundreds of mill
ions for himself and endless billions

machines hundreds of miles away, and
airplanes fly with power taken through
air, through earth plants.

Ramsay Mcdonald, British Labor
Prime Minister, gives up one of two

600 worth of cars. Many Americans
are getting fresh air that didn't use
to get it, plus the health that comes
from fresh air.
Nevada killed Gee Jon, Chinese tong
murderer, with hydrocyanic gas. Jon,
according to guards "wept a little as
he was placed in the chair" His tears
seemed to ask why pick one me?"
Doctors say death was painless, but
they don't know Gee Jon lived six

In race against American cars at
Stockholm, last week, a Swedish car
driven by Swedish motor alcohol beat

OF an explosive engine is the right
place for alcohol, not the inside of a
