A Needed Improvement

THE rapid transit system for Seattle
i that has been devised by William
Pitt Trimble and his committee of the
planning commission is a step in the right
direction.
Surface street car business is gradually
falling off, not only in Seattle, but over
the country generally. Only in those cit
les where enterprising officials have real
lied that they must give the car-riding
public something faster than slow surface
travel have the street railroads been hold
ing their own.
New York's car business slumped on

Helping the Stranger
THOUSANDS or tourists enter and de-

THOUSANDS or tourists enter and de-
l. part from Seattle by boat.
Many of the docks where these boats
land are located at distance from the
city's downtown hotels. They are equally
distant from railroad stations.
In most Eastern cities this difficulty is
met by loop street car line" running
along the waterfront past all passenger
boat docks and circling around past the
railroad stations and the principal hotels.
This simplifies the procedure for the
tourists in a strange town. Instead of in
quiring his way about. all that is neces-
sary for those who do not wish 10 take
taxicabs to do is to get on car and ride
until their destination is reached.
With the docks, stations and hotels sit
uated as they are in Seattle, il would be
n simple matter to put in such carline
while repairs on Railroad ave, are going
ahead.

FLITTING SHADOWS
 AT SUNS ECLIPSE
 CAUGHT BY CAMERA

TUCSON, Ariz., Apr. 4.-Photo graphs of the shadow bands on the sun during the recent total eclipse. were made successfully in the east with an apparatus designed and built by Dr. A. E. Douglas, director of the Steward Observatory here. The Ari- zona astronomer recently received the first prints from exposures made by his shadow-band camera, used at Middletown, Conn, under the super vision of Dr. H. T. Stetson, head Of the astronomical department at liar yard
 At the time the exposures were made weather conditions were per feet. The temperature was four be low zero. As the recording of these shadow bands, a source of mystifica ton to leading authorities, had never been achieved successfully in previ- ous eclipses, the present attainment | is regarded important to science. Dr. Douglas says the experiment proves beyond doubt that the waves are caused by irregularities in the den sity of atmosphere, theory he has held for many years.
 The prints show the shadow-bands distinctly. They were rendered wis ible to the camera lens by the small ness of the suns crescent. The
 pictures were taken during the min-
 ute preceding and the minute fol-
 lowing totaIity of the eclipse. pr. Douglas points out that the same effect is seen from distant electric
 lights and on stars viewed through
 a strong telescope.
 The photographic outfit consisted
 of 13-inch converse mirror, focus
 ing a beam of light through small
 opening on to a film six inches be-
 yond the focus This concentrated
 the light and enormously increased | the contrast, thus bringing out in
 prominence these very faint shad- ows

the movies. Their appetites are whetted for this wonderland by the annual visits of American golfers and tennis stars, and the home-com- British authors, British lecturers and British actors whose favorite pas time would seem to be gathering in greenbacks that grow so plentifully in that rich republic across the sea, whose inhabitants have a perfectly astonishing eagerness to pay people fabulous sums to lecture to them, or otherwise amuse or instruct them.
 Up to now the middle-class folk who stay at home have never even seriously thought for a minutes of America as a possible place for mere ly a holiday visit, in the sense that so many Americans seem to regard Europe. Leisured Britons by the hundreds have, of course, visited Am erica purely on pleasure bent, and the trading travellers of England and Scotland occupy a good many cabins on every ship bound for New York. But, except for these, most of the Britons who set cut for America in the past were either the poor who crossed the Atlantic to make a new start and a new home, or else those of rowing dispositions who wander everywhere.
 This summer, however, or some future summer, it may be that mid dle-class Europe will romp around America as middle-class America scatters itself all over Europe in the warmer seasons. The steamship com panies are trumpeting their third class college cabins" in an effort to make it so Having tried the ''col- lege cabins" out on Americans, who have eagerly taken up the idea, the steamship lines are now trying to induce poor but ,whitecollared Flu ropeans to get in the habit of think ing nothing of transatlantic trip.

Tran1ps Made Comfortable
 Keep Them from Tramping

NUNEATON, Eng, Apr. 4.-In or der to discourage gagrants from tramping the road, Poor Law auth critics have turned the local work house into a work-mansion.
 The old casual ward has been abol- ished and replaced by a cheerful room with bright colored wallpapers, linoleum covered floors and comfor- table chairs in which casuals may sit while having meals at long polished table
 A supply of books and newspapers is provided for evening reading in a steam-heated room, and spring mat tressed beds await the weary tray eler at night. Regular inmates have the use of piano and radio set, and there is a supply of toys for the children.

tries just across the channel; rela- lively few get so far away as Italy.
 And now the steamship companies for a mere $50, less than $250, offer to take them to that fabled city of New York, whizz them rapidly for a few days around the American me- tropolis, show them a few spots in Canada, and deliver them back home, all within those precious 21 days of summer holiday.
 It is a vision that to many of the stay-at-homes seems too good to be true Every day, almost, they read of America in their newspapers and magazines and their eyes are gorg- cd with the splendor and glitter of the new world each time they go to
