Both foreign and American papers

The foreign paper, of course, fea-

Some of the new papers in both for

In the manner of acquiring correct

should first of all be excellent in quail

1t is never wise to buy set of desk

A colonial desk outfit would be most
inappropriate in a room featuring the

Meaning Of Transportation

tation gives a value to land which
no other agency can supply. 1t is
second only to land in sustaining
human life, but it is first in ad-
vancing civilization.
Mass production is made pos
sible by transportation. Until a
decade ago the majority of people
lived in rural districts. To-day
the majority live in urban and SUI
burban districts. Our transporta-
ton systems have brought about
changes for our great industrial
centers, not possible without
transportation. The United
6tates has the most advanced
system of mass production the
world has ever known, which was
made possible by transportation.
Mass production economy Is re-
fiected in the standard of living.
"In 1888 the first electric car
was operated by Frank J. Sprague
in the city of Richmond, Virginia.
Within the short space of two
years there were over 200 com.
panies engaged in electric street
car transportation, with 1900
miles of track. To-day there are
$4,000 miles Of track used by cleo
trio street car transportation COM
panies with 100000 cars in use,
carrying over 16,000,000,000 pas
sengers annually. (Over II times
as many as are carried by steam
railroads.)
"These transportation compa-
MES employ nearly 100000 en-
ployees, and like number is en-
gagged in the manufacture of sup
plies for transportation use. The
total value of property owned by
the street car transportation COM
panies is $6,0O0,0OO.000, and the
securities are held by 100000
stockholders"
Mr.. Goldey then explained how
trolley cars are operated, and how
electric current is generated and
distributed, citing instances in the
identification of steam roads. He
then gave brief outline of the
gas-electric engine and the en-
CINE using the Diesel principle.
He also mentioned the motor gas
engine, and the gas--electric bus.

Sad Sea Waves
Attracts Boys
Philadelphia Youngsters Set
Out for SeashOre to
See the Ocean.
Become Stranded Here

Hugh Riley and Pat MCGEE are
II years old. They come from
Philadelphia. In the hot city, with
it's motor laden streets, and its
pedestrian filed sidewalks, they
often longed for a good view of
the ocean, the wide expanse of
white beach, the cool sea breezes.
They looked at the Delaware, but
that didn't satisfy their longing,
for the Delaware, like most rivers,
has dirty look.
So they decided to pay a visit
to the shore early this week. They
had money enough to get down,
but not enough for their return
fare, but they didn't think of that,
then.
So they arrived in Atlantic City,
and spent what money they had.
Wednesday they decided to return
home. The boys boarded one of
the electric cars which runs be-
tween Atlantic City and Philadel-
phia, hoping that the conductor
would be sport, and let them
ride for nothing.
But the conductor was no sport,
and he put them off at the first
stop, which was here. Local po-
lice took charge of them, and they
were placed in the city lookup
until their parents were reached.
That night the grand ad-
venture ended, and their folks
took them back to Philadelphia.
But they saw the sea.

Speaking before members OF the
Kiwanis club at its luncheon
recently, Paul R. Goldey, superin-
tendent of the Atlantic and Subur'
ban Railroad company, talked on
electricity as applied to- Trans
portation," and told of the rela'
ton of the two powers. The meet
ing was held at the County Club
of Atlantic City.
Land is the foundation upon
which all human progress has
been built" Mr.. Goldey declared.
Labor applied to land Is the
source of wealth, and land values
are the ground work upon which
rests the economic values of COM
pick structure which constitutes
our present civilization.
Transportation is the science
CT distributing the products OF SOIL
TO the uttermost parts of the earth
and moving people from place to
place, linking together our entire
social fabric. Without transpor-
tation our present civilization
would not be possible. 1t can be
said. therefore, that land values
and transit facilities are insepara-
BILE and that progress of race or
nation measured by degree IN
which its lands and transportation
have been developed.
1.-THE Importance of transporta-
ton in the life of the people Is
not generally appreciated. The
whole purpose of existence IS
growth. Egypt, Persia, Greece
and Rome, all the great nations
of antiquity persisted when they
ceased to grow. Transportation
is an absolute necessity for the
growth of a modern nation.
"In early days people lived and
died in the places where they
we're born and followed their IA
theirs avocations. They seldom
thought of breaking out of the
class in which they were born.
AS a result little progress was
made in civilization.
Transportation has been the
foremost agency in creating the
divine unrest we have to-day
which means progress. Transpor-
