PROBLEMS OF TROLLEY SERVICE

The Waterbury Republican argues tlOt because the nickel ot today is worth only about three cents com- pared with the nickel of 1913, the street car fares on the Connecticut company cannot be returned to a nickel because it would be tantu- mount to returning to fares relo- lively less than that sum.
 Which Of course is true, Yet it is true that the troubles of the street car systems also began about the time the nickel fares were hoisted.
 The old nickel fare was profitable because the majority of riders did not ride maximum distances. Many of them rode as little as five blocks, some even less.
 If the trolley companies could continue to appeal to such short-ride patronage with their 1-3-cont fares all would be well and good; but they don't. One need only to note the total of pedestrians on the sidewalks to come to the conclusion that the companies have lost Q large number of profitable riders.
 The trolley companies arc giving approximately the same maximum ride for the higher fares that they formerly did for the nickel fares. Patrons who ride maximum dis tances on the cars get their moneys worth; many of those who ride short distances do not feel that the ride is worth the price and walk when the weather permits.
 On the other hand, the Connecti- cut company can point with alarm to conditions in Rhode leland, where the fare-raising bee Is said not to have gained ground The trolley companies of Little Rhody are sait to be in worse financial straits than any in Now EgIand. Compared i with them the Connecticut company is affIuent.
 The Connecticut company's busi- ness seems to be based on the pre- mise it is more profitable to trans- port fewer passengers at higher fares than more at the old rate Competition with privase automo, l piles is also to be considered, stree car men holding that most of those owning autos would not travel ir 1 electric cars, no matter what tht farc-cXccpt in winter, when auto ! ing is inconyenicnt, And they are frank in saying that tho increase 1T automobiles has helped to increase fares, so that those who don't owr machines are forced to meet addi tional transportation expense or account Of those who own machines It is entirely probable that th' trolley company could make q nca
 profit hy charging lowrr fares in th'
 large cities of the state and alan
 doning unprotitablc' lines in tn
 rural districts. The Connocticu
 company, operating in. a widely scat
 tered territory in the state, has
 plcnitude of lines that create hruy
 deficits The city lines are suppose
 10 maintain the ierkwater lines. I
 numberlrss small towns in tile stat
 do not think enough Of tho cIrctri
 lines to patronize them it wonl
 seem they could well do withou
 them and depend upon automobiles
 as in reality they are already d9in
 There seems no logic behind th premise that d trolley passenger i New Britain, Hartford or Waterbur should help 10 maintain the opera lion of lines in rural districts whic
 mostly consist Of empty cars

RADIO WILL
CONTROL TRAIN
Successful Tests Have Been Made
and Device Found to Be
Fool Proof

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 18.-The
successful tests of a radio train
control in Michigan, that will slow
down a train, or stop it, and flash
warning lights in the locomotive
block ahead, marks a splendid
achievement, looking toward in
creased safety in the operation OF
railroads, it was pointed out here to-
DAY by railroad engineers.
The device, it was explained, Is
fool proof, weighs less than 100
pounds, and is entirely automatic in
operation. 1t effectually provides
for sure control of train even if the
engineer is taken sick or dies at his
post. With the increased demand
for shorter Roadway on traffic dlvl-
sions, such a safety device becomes
a prime necessity, several Atlanta
engineers claimed.

AND AVOID
INFLUENZA
DR.. Chambliss Says That We Are
Facing An Epidemic Of Flu
and Colds

Sumter county and Americas is
facing an epidemic of colds and flu
according to DR.. j. w. Chambliss,
commissioner of health for Sumter
county.
In his statement issued today, the
health officer urges the public to
avail themselves of the opportunity
to take the flu and pneumonia Sc
rum. This serum may be bought at
any of the local drug stores and
will be administered at the health
office in the Doctors building, at no
cost to the patient.
This serum is preventive and
those that take it can ref satisfied
that they will not have the flu, as
the serum has been proven to act
favorably in 80 to 80 percent of the
cases.
DR.. Chambliss states that a lagre
number of the residents Of Sumter
county and Americas have already
begun taking this serum and that he
is especially anxious that others take
it, thereby removing the great dan
ger of flu epidemic,
His office will be open from 3 TO
daily for the administration of
| The serum and all are requested to
get their serum and come to his Of
| flee.
Concerning diphtheria, the health
officer said: quite few of our
neighbors have neglected to give tox-
in and anti-toxin to prevent diph-
liberia until they have the disease in
!. .thaiS.seo@smsUAiss--and the child ex-
posed. Then it is not advisable to
administer the toxin or anti-toxin
for fear your child will
take the disease before the protec-
ton can be given. Now with diph-
liberia all around us, why wait until
your child is exposed, then get scared
too late? Give them the toxin and
anti-toxin now while we have no
diphtheria here and your child will
be immune for life"
