CHICAGO'S NEW UNION
 STATION

When the old Union depot in Chi cago was opened in the sos wise men regarded 1t as white elephant" and criticized the railroads for building 1t % big. If those sages could return and view the new one, to be opened soon, expressing utility and service in the highest terms. they would be struck dumb with amazement This project covers 35 Is acres and the ground is valued at S1,0OO,0O0 per acre.
 To make room for 1t, scores of buildings had to be wrecked; f via ducts, having a total length of more than two miles, were rebuilt; one street was elevated several feet and widened 20 feet for about one mile. and a tremendous amount of excavat- ing was necessary - approximately 100,000,000 pounds of steel alone be- Ing used In this work.
 The depot proper will be 320 by 370 feet and extends 20 stories above ground-the upper portion to be used as a giant office building. The waiting room will be 100 feet wide, 27o feet long, and IA feet high-with facilities for the use of travellers ar ranged easy of access. The portion containing the waiting, dining, ticket ing, checking. and other public con- veniences, and the train shed. out wardly appear to be separate build ings, but will be connected under ground by the largest concourse in this country-all located on the level of the platforms which will serve the passenger tracks, or 16 feet below the surrounding streets.
 Trains will be dispatched from both ends of the train shed Five roads-the Burlington route. Pitts burgh. Fort Wayne & Chicago, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati & St. Louis (the two latter combined forming the Pennsylvania system). ].

 The longest platform will be 1,560 feet; the longest track will accommo- date 16 cars and locomotive. The train shed will have a capacity of 25e passenger cars and 20 locomo- lives.
 About 26O trains-an average of one every 5h minutes, day and night. will enter or leave 1t, and a maximum of 100000 passengers can be accommo dated daily. in this-one of the great est depots in all the world.

HOW GREAT MEN MAKE LOVE AS REVEALED BY THEIR
 LOVE LETTERS

 MAN LONDON
By JOSEPH KAYE

TACK LONDONS personal romance J is of too recent date to need re- counting il detail. It Is only neces- sary to give here some quotations from his letters and conversations to gauge the extent of his passion for the wom- an who became his second wife. Speak Ing of Charmian, London once said:
 "If a divorce had not been allowed me, l would not have given you up that would be unthinkable. We would have gone somewhere, if you would on the other side of the world and dig nifedly lived out our lives, 'on the square, like true married pair"
 And the following are portions from two of his letter.:
 Dear, dear Woman:
 Somehow, you have been very much in my thoughts these last few days. and in inexpressible ways you are dearer to me. will not speak of the mind qualities, the soul qualities-for somehow, in these, in ways beyond my speech and thought, you have suddenly loomed colossal in comparison with the ruck of woman.
 "Oh, believe me, In these last sey- eral days I have been doing some thinking, some comparing-and I have been made aware, not merely of pride, and greater pride, in you, but of de light in you. Dear, dear Woman, Wednesday night. how I delighted in you. for instance! Of course, I liked the look of you; but outside of that, I delighted-and not so much in what you said or did. as in what you did not say or do. You, just you-with strength and surety. and power to hold me to you for that old peace and rest which you have always had for me. am more confident now than a year ago that we shall be happy together. l am rationally confident.
 God and you have grit love you for 1t. You are my comrade for it. And mean the grit of the soul. .
 My first thought In the morning Is of you, my last thought at night. My arms are about you, and I kiss you with my soul.
 YOUR OWN MAN" Blessed Mate:
 'T do not think that I have parted with you, so full am I. heart and soul. with the vision of you.
 Standards are nothing, judgments are nothing; need not reason about you except in the simplest way, and that way is that you mean everything to me and are mose to me than any woman have ever nown

SEES PRESENT LAWS
SURETY FOR SAFETY
Enforcement, Not New Legislation
Needed in Handling Motor
Traffic, A. A. A. Declares.

Enforcement OF existing laws and
regulations relating TO the motor
vehicle and provision ? of adequate
man power to handle traffic conges-
tlon, rather than a quantity Of new
laws, is urged by the American Au-
tomobile Association as the first and
most important step in a practical
safety program.
This appeal, it is stated is based
on an investigation concluded recent
ly by the organizations legislative
board revealing the following facts
Ihat there is hardly large center
OF population in the United States
where public safety is not in some
degree Jeopardized by the failure to
provide sufficient man power to handle
the motor vehicle problem; that the
number of motor vehicles in some
of the cities in the last ten years has
increased 1000 to 1900 per cent.
whereas the tratlice force virtually
has been at standstilI during that
period that so per cent of the police
officials of the country are of the
opinion that the traffic force at their
disposal is wholly inadequate to cope
with the situation
The investigation leaves no room
for doubt that our principal trouble
today is the lack of vigorous, con
stant and intelligent enforcement of
the laws we have" says the A. A. A.
statement. This cannot be done un-
less the traffic force at the disposal
OF police officials is adequate to ham
die the motor vehicle problem and "A
large variety of crimes growing out
of the automobile which create new
difficulties for the police"
The survey shows that in New York
City. with 10000 street intersections.
a force of 1886 men is assigned to
traftic duty. In st. Louis there are
Lou policemen as against 1900 20
years ago, while the number of auto
IhoblIes during the period increased
from 200 to 10000. Los Angeles in
creased its traffic force in the last
10 years by 200 men, and now has
2S4 on traffic duty. The automobile
registration in that city last year was

LOSSES ON USED CARS
PRICE OF PROGRESS
Auto Users Demand Best and Will
Pay for It, REQ Dealer
Says.

High depreciation charges merely
represent what the American car
owner is ready and glad to pay for
Improvement, in the opinion of JOS
eph B. Trew. local REQ dealer.
Used car losses can be minimiZed
by better merchandising methods and
by an effort on the part of the public
to avoid preventable depreciation on
cars, he says, but the real element of
depreciation is likely to remain so
long as the public wants constant i'm
provements and is willing to pay for
them.
Mr.. Trew contends that the pub
lies willingness to take losses on the
cars 1T turns in has revealed it's
ment of the automobile and, in many
instances, it's willingness to have
improvement at any cost.
The public has never before
evinced so great a determination to
have progress as 1t has done in the
buying of It's automobiles" he says.
This explains why the automobile
progresses more than any other mod
ern invention, with the possible ex-
ception of radio.
Progress in undermining the home
has always been retarded by the de-
sire of each home owner to hold
back for high price on his old
house before considering a new one
If the same attitude We're taken in
real estate as is taken by the public
in its motoring, modern homes to-
day would be equipped with eleva-
tors, automatic windows, fire-fight-
ing equipment and all the other lux
uries and conveniences which are
not seen because the public is not
willing to pay for them.
If man who hOnPht an
automobile never sold il until he re
ceived a price that represented its
actual worth as transportation we
would still be cranking our cars by
hand and freezing to. death in our

others are encouraged to buy cars
and join the motor clan.
1t was formerly believed that the
maturity of the Nations youth would
furnish a natural compensation for
the loss of present drivers through
death or infirmity, but nothing of the
sort has happened. The parents have
refused their children the wheel and
have taken the position that age and
wisdom are one and the same thing,
with the result that thousands of
young people do not know how to
drive cars at all
Those who do not know how to
handle cars come into active service
as drivers under the bad influence of
their very unskilled parents. All the
old foibleS OF driving are simply
given a new impetus, and the roads
reveal two careless drivers where be-
fore there was but one. All this can
be avoided through an effort to rea-
lize the force OF parental influence.
1t may be even necessary to develop
schools where the younger people can
learn how TO drive better than the
people who preceded them.
In the meantime, the entire situa-
tion can be vastly improved by "A de-
termined effort on the part of present
drivers TO grow with the automobile
and TO improve with it. This will go
long way toward meeting the seri-
Gus demand for better drivers.
