all the way from Paris to Monte
Carlo or cover the 500 miles lean

caSted stock exchange, Wall Street
and racing results.
The cars are of gray maple,
trimmed in silver and glass. The
gray carpets fold up, the chairs push
against the walls and the tables
close out Of way, disclosing a
polish oak dance floor.
If there does not happen to be
dancing music in the air, the porter
draws out a victrola, attaches the
loudspeaker and dancing is on in
every car.
Mile Minute
The bar has been a great success,
with its five high stools lined up
against the mahogany counter.
1t is possible to start cocktail
in Fontainebleau and finish it in
Lyons, 100 miles away for the train
maintains a speed of a mile
minute.
Another feature of the train is
uniformed attendant for dogs.

Riviera travel with their pets.
These are taken to car which
contains, in addition to kennels. all
exercise ground where the attendant
walks the animals up and down on
leash. A special little kitchen pre-
pareS them warm meals, but they
have neither bar nor dance floor.

MOVE TO SAVE
HIGHWAY Chief
FROM CRITICISM
Reports to Be Favorable
in Future When Made
Public, Proposal.

Director John J. Brown Of the
state highway department has a
plan whereby his department and
the state highway commission can
avoid unfavorable comment re-
garding conduct of the department,
it was learned today.
He advanced the plan at con-
ference called by his friend and
hacker. Governor Harry G. Leslie,
Wednesday. Purpose of the confer
ence was to 'yindicate Brown from
such criticisms as have appeared
from time IN time in The Indanapo-
lis Times, according to the Gov
ernorS explanation
Those attending were the high
way commissioners, Brown and his
new chief clerk, Ralph Simpson:
Lawrence r. Orr, chief examiner OF
the state board: Of accounts, and
Ross TeckmeyeT, field examiner of
tha state board of accounts.
Based on Reports
Times criticisms were based on
reports made to Orr by Teckmeyer
following q recent examination of
Browns department.
Browns plan to prevent such
items being made public is to hold
. conference with Orr and the ex-
Rminers and see that the report Is
favorable before it is placed on file
and made available to the press.
state departments should work
together and cooperate" Brown is
reported to have said in a lengthy
speech opening the conference. He
failed to mention that matters fin
ally set out in the report had been
talked over may times between the
two departments and one of the
complaints registered by Techmeyer
was that the highway department
continued to remain inactive re-
Rarding recommendations.
Brown had written out his COM
plant for the meeting. Both he
and Orr referred reporters to the
O0fCAAlOA III I'LL pNA0hAAk Va WAA<fk
tranSpired.
Working In Harmony
Leslie stated that newspaper criti-
ctsm had brought about the meet
ing, difficulties were settled and the
two departments now are "work-
ing in harmony" The highway de-
partment, he said. is carrying out
the board of accounts recommended
ton and promises made to the 1929
legislature in fighting for the l-cent
increase in gasoline tax.
The Governor also pointed out
that the lack Of an adequate ac-
counting system in the highway de-
partment was inherited from the re-
gime of former Director John D.
Williams. He praised Brown high
ly, as he did recently in a speech
before the roads school at Purdue
university.
Simpson has been placed in
charge of a new accounting system
being installed under direction of
the federal bureau Of roads. It
must have approval of the state
board of accounts.
