made repeated trips to his home

the Hindenburg Dixie which con-

s7.50o.0o0 underground mail collec-

mer. and will remove from the city's
streets most OF the picturesque vans
which now perform that function.
Work on the tube was begun in

and has since been delayed owing to
the high cost OF material and the
coal strike of last year.
The railway Is six and half miles
long. from the Eastern District Post
Office at Whitechapel to the District
Post Office at Paddington. Inter-
mediate stations include Liverpool
street and the General Post Office.
The proposed extensions include
Kings Cross, Euston, Cannon street
and Waterloo.
The tunnel is 80 feet below the
surface and . feet wide. There are
30 cars. and by running three-car
trains IS tons of mail can be car
ried hourly in each direction. The
trains travel at IS miles an hour,
without drivers. Operators in con-
troll cabins regulate their speed by
means of illuminated diagrams be-
fore them. The stations consist of
island platforms in two sections, be-
tween which the control cabins. the

were watched closely by their stern
mamas. and rendezvous with their
lovers were difficult. They knew
they could depend upon my discre-

lovers when and where to meet

used me to convey messages to

command to get the message to the
right person unobserved.
"All this has changed. The tele-
phone, the auto and other modern

with the greater liberality Of moth

Physician Sees DiabetH
As Sign of Degcneracy

Considerable discussion has been
aroused in the German medical
world by the recent lecture of DR..
Hans Ullman, head Of the medical
clinic at the Charlie Hospital, in
which he noted startling increase
of the death rate from diabetes
throughout Europe and the United
States and classed the disease as
one Of the signs of modern degen-
eracy.
Prof Magnus-Levy and Prof.
Brugsch. other eminent medical au-
thorities, agree with DR.. Ullman in
his expressed conviction that dia-
betes is hereditary, and his conten-
ton that probably one-third Of all
cases were inherited has not been
disputed here.

Heretofore 1t was impossible to
book straight. through from Brem-

The enforced stop OF several hours
at Bremen proved desirable only
for travellers coming to Germany
for the first time who wished to
see the historic sights of the quaint

seemed anxious to get to Berlin as
quickly as possible.
The schedules from Bremerhaven
to Bremen are now so arranged
that the through cars are hitched
to a regular Berlin express without
