Writing About Trip.

Pan-America, one of the four sister
ships maintaining bi-weekly service
between New York and Buenos Aires
They are 21,000-ton ships, making
1712 knots, or over 20 miles an hour,
without forcing. They are wonder
fully steady boats, although we had
no rough seas or rough water to test
them. The ships officers say they
nave little rough water on this run.
Much of the time, sitting in the cabins,
one could hardly tell that the boat
was in motion.
We made no stop between New
York and Rio de Janeiro, and for
IL days the boat sailed along at a
rate of 400 miles a day without
stopping. We saw no land for about
nine days, when we rounded the ex-
treme eastern point of Brazil and
started to the southwest
We crossed the equator about the
eighth day out from New York. The
evening before one of the crew
dressed as King Neptune, climbed
over the PROV of the ship in the
glare of the searchlight about 9
O'Clock, and delivered his message.
warning all landlubbers to be pres
ent, properly garbed, at a certain
hour the next day. Those of MS
who had never crossed the equator
had been advised from time to time
that we would have to be initiated
into the order of King Neptune.
A typewriter notice was sent to
each landlubber advising him to an
pear at the hour named dressed in
his bathing suit. That looked omi-
nous but we all did it. Those who
had crossed the equator had elected
one OF their number to represent
King Neptune and the others were
dressed in most fantastic fashion. A
solemn procession, led by the bano
escorted King Neptune to his Mace
The prosecutor appeared and charges
were made against various alleged
culprlts and they were allowed to
plead. Whether the plea was guilty
or not guilty, each was declared
guilty and King Neptune fixed the
penalty.

TIME American city Is not
doomed. as Henry Ford would
have us believe, but is just
i coming into its own. In sixty
years New York will have a
population of 25,000,000.
This statement was given me by
DIR. John A. Harriss, special deputy
traffic commissioner of New York
City and one of the most competent
authorities on traffic and city plan.
ming in this country.
DR.. HarrisS went on to explain that
city growth depended almost entirely
upon wise handling of the city's most
important problem-traffic. He also
predicted that Wall Streets unfavor.
able location off the chief lanes of
traffic would eventually cause the
transfer of the worlds money market
and turn the Woolworth Building and
other skyscrapers into warehouses.
For eight years DIR. Harriss has
been unraveling the traffic tangle in
the largest and most traff1c-ridden
city in the world, and his word on
such problems usually goes unchal-
lenged.
He Is the originator of the traffic
signal tower. People laughed at the
idea at first. But DR.. Harriss per-
sisted. Finally he got his towers set
up on Fifth avenue for a trial.
After one month opinion was d1-
vided as to their usefulness. A num-
ber of city officials wanted them re.
moved. But DIR. Harriss insisted that
the towers should remain for a sec.
ond month, and they have been there
ever since.
l had been commissioned to in.
vestigate the causes and remedies for
motor accidents and traffic congestion
in the leading cities Of the country
and after talking with the police
chiefs in Chicago, Philadelphia and
Los Angeles, I went to DR.. Harriss
and asked his solution of the traffic
problem.
There ARE two immediate solu.
tfons," replied DR.. Harriss. "Ex-
press streets and municipal parking
places.
Speedy Traffic Not Dangerous.
These two solutions are relatively
simple, and the express street is al.
ready in existence on Fifth avenue.
New York. and Michigan avenue,
Chicago. The idea behind the ex.
press street is like the idea behind
the Ford automobile factory-keep
things moving. If, for instance, your
traffic is moving at the rate Of only
ten miles an hour, about 1000 cars
can pass a given point in an hour.
But if you increase the rate of speed
to thirty miles an hour. 5000 cars
can pass the given point in,an hour
Traffic is much like water. 1t flows
in the easiest channels. Therefore
enough traffic would naturally flow
into the swift and easy express streets
to relieve the congested cross streets
in the shopping and business dis
tricts.'
Would not accidents increase If
cars were allowed to travel at thirty
miles an hour through the heart OF
the city," 1 asked.
Not if this express traffic is prop
erly regulated. In other words, ii
must be stopped at regular two-minute
intervals to allow cross traffic to pass
At the most congested crossings /
would place traffic gates exactly like
those used at railroad crossings. This
would prevent pedestrians from cross
ing. 1t is a mistake to think that
speedy traffic is dangerous so long as
it is properly controlled. AS a matter

The total of this column of figures
is 1858. In both cases, it should be
noted, the returns are official. They
come from the mayor or city clerk.
In the Is cities named above the
laws We're made by 324 men and
women, an average of nearly % for
each city. Some of the cities have
as few as 5 lawmakers, some as
many as so. A few communities
managed to worry along with virtu-
ally to new legislation; others enacted
an average of several new laws daily.
City lawmakers of the Is COM
munities received total salaries of
S439,5 Their compensation ranged
from nothing at all in a few cases to
$4,000 year in the case of Chicago.
Excluding Chicago, with a lawmak-
ers' pay roll running to more than
s250,00O year, the remaining IA
cities expended. on the average,
slightly more than $1,000 a month
apiece in salaries to their city fathers.
New laws, of course, must be
enacted to meet changing conditions
Judging the changing process by the
record above, Americans appear to be,
far and away, the most restless people
in the world.

ItaIy.-On June Rome celebrated
with great magn;ficence the twenty
fifth anniversary of the accession of
Victor Emanuel III to the Italian
throne. The most striking element of
the popular parade, which followed a
splendid military review, was a band
of SO Garibaldi veterans in their red
shirts; very old men, with little hold
of life, but much of proud romantic
memories.
One hundred thousand subjects in
groups representative of all parts of
the realm filed past the King and his
family, who were on a balcony of the
Quirinal Palace. The atmosphere was
one of loyalty, of patriotism and of
that authentic gayety of which the
Italians are so uniquely capable. Fas-
cism was out of the picture for that
day-no black shirts-but the favorite
tune was "GiovanezZa."

and not of the city of Imperial,
will be a guest at the county Jail
for n long period. following his
plea of guilty to charge of carrying
a black jack and slingshot when ar
raigned before Judge Cole yester-
day afternoon.
Williams was arrested several
weeks ago at Winterhaven by Dep
uty Sheriff Tom Worthington, and
was convicted in the justice court
at Bard for carrying liquor and hav-
ing liquor in his possession, for
which he was heavily fined AID re-
ceived Jail sentence. Being un-
able to pay n fine, he was given
an alternative jail sentence, which
placed the number of days he is to
serve in Jail at 1850.
On yesterdays chargd' he was
fined $500, and being unable to pay
the fine he was given an alternative
sentence of $50 days in Jail, the
court taking the, previous sentence
into consideration, however, and al
lowed the sentence to run concur
rently with the time which Williams
is now serving.
With good behavior allowance,
Williams ought TO be out of Jail in

THE GOOD COOK: SAYS:

A custard that curdles in cooking
can be made smooth by placing over
cold water and beating with an egg
bcater.
For cleaning wall paper, mix to-
gether one tablespoon salt, one tab
lespoon kerosene, two of vinegar,
two of ammonia. one-half cup warm
water and one cup flour. Cook
together thoroughly, stirring con
stantly. Then knead until dough
is smooth. Break into bits and rub
soiled wall paper as if it were a
rubber eraser.
If n few shavings of candle are
added to starch, the clothes will
shine and be very easily ironcd.
A brass curtain rod should be
rubbed occasionally with paraffin-
on soft cloth so that the rings will
rum smoothly.
Never put an egge beater to soak
and never let the coggs get wet.
A meat grinding machine should
be cleaned by running a piece of
stale bread through it to col!cc the
residue Of fats and meats.
If boiled ham is to be served
cold. let it cool in the water in
which it has been cooked. 1t will
be lovely and juicy and have more
flavor than if removed while hot.
For breakfast cereal cook rice
in evaporated milk diluted with an
equal quantity of water, and serve
with salt and butter, or sweeten 1t
slightly if preferred.
Waxed or oil cloths should be
washed in soda solutions and rinsed
thoroughly.
