PARIS MAY SCRAP
ITS STREET CARS
Interference With Traffic Is
Noted, but Many Want
Present Service.

PARIS (N.AN.A).-France is paying
a good deal of attention to her rolling
stock. Paris in particular is wondering
whether 1t ought not to scrap its street
cars in favor of the ubiquitous motor
omnibus
Certainly the tramways are incon-
venient and tend to aggraVate the
traffic congestion of the city. In the
welt end they have already scrapped
some of the lines in favor of bus serv-
ices, but the proletarian east alternately
buys new street cars because the rails
are still so good and new rails because
the cars are not worn out. The lines
near the Arc de Triomphe pursue their
way against the laws and interests OF
that vast maelstrom of swirling vehicles
that roars its busy race through Paris
days and nights.
Tram Car Is Cheap.
1.-THE tram car is cheap" say its sup
porters, "once you have paid for the
laying down of the track" But all the
same, in common with many European
cities, Paris is discovering that tracks
are on the whole check to the general
speed in traffic congested areas.
But every Paris tram has its day and
one has lately encompassed love idyll
of public interest. Transformed into
q coy home this tram saw the flower
ing and subsequent sad dissolution Of
q romance. The wife divorced her hus
band, but in the solitude of the tram
car he has been writing some touching
and melancholy verse lamenting the
departure and extolling the praises of
its former Joint tenant. In his appeal
against the decision of the court which
awarded his wife the divorce, the read
ings Of these poems are doing much to
tighten the hearing Of the case.
Railway travelling may blossom into
q luxury beyond even the widest dreams
of the blue train and golden arrow pa
irons II the present experiment toward
the adoption of pneumatic tires are
successful. Experts Of several OF the
French lines are studying this matter
and there are already running on some
local lines in the west of France petrol
driven motor coaches the wheels of
which are fitted with such tires.
Other Lines Interested.
The Indae department is considering
the extension of the principle and the
directors of the Nord, the P. L. M. and
the Orleans are very much alive to the
advantages that would accrue from
successful adoption Of rubber coverings
for the wheels of their trains. There
would be saving in the wear and tear
of the rails, smoother and more COM
Portable running and a great diminu
ton of noise.
The Northern Railway has fitted a.
Pullman car as a travelling X-ray room,
with dark room and laboratory at
tached. The car Is to circulate on the
whole system and the service will be
free. In little out-of-the-way places
and small towns. where there are no
facilities for X-ray work, this innova-
ton should prove an immense blessing.

HUGE LIQUOR SHIPPING
FROM LOUISIANA Barred
Dry Agents Learn of Carloads of
Whisky Sent to Outskirts of
Detroit and Chicago.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-Reports
of wholesale liquor smuggling opera
tions, in which contraband whisky has
been Shipped by the carload from this
section to the outskirts of Detroit and
Chicago, we're brought to light here
Tuesday by special prohibition agents
assigned to an investigation.
The investigators said that in Han
cock County, Miss, they learned hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth OF
liquor had been brought in from
mother" ships by speed luggers from
the Gulf of Mexico and sent north.
They said the seizure, about three
weeks ago, of three carloads of whisky
bore evidence of the ring, and at that
time they learned at least seven other
carloads had escaped them. They re-
norted a single shipment was worth
probably $25O,OOo. No arrests have been
made.

FOREST FIRE GALL FOR
 LATEST METHODS WAR

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. (P) - The modern system of fighting forest fires is based on the latest methods of war, says bulletin of the American Game AssOcia- tion. Lookouts in towers many miles apart today can locate a fire on combat maps instantly and with the air of instruments and a system of traingulation checked by telephone between two or more towers.
 As the fall danger period ap- breaches, state foresters and fed eral forest service are prepared with increasingly efficient fire fighting machinery and organiza- tions to mobilize 1000 men if nec- essary on short notice, speed them 1 by motor to any part of the for est over network of trails and surround a blaze before it is well underway. In isolated sections, men and material may be land ed from airplanes, and many or ganizations are prepared to scout large fires from the air and direct activities by radio.
 Another fire fighting measure forestry officials are reminding the people that such heavy ex- penditures are made necessary almost wholly by human careless ness.

HIGH TIDES |NUNDATE
 SEWARD ROADWAYs

Seward city authorities and auto mobilists today waged "Wading" battle against the exceptionally high tide which inundated portions of the road across the lagoon and around it. The tide was so high that only the bridge on the recently constructed road was discernable above the water and the entire re- mainder of the road was submerged in inches of water. Meanwhile, autoists who tried to skirt the la goon by taking the old road also had their difficulties, as the water flooded over this
 Towing an auto out of the water which ran way above the running boards of cars was not an unusual sight. One car is reported to have had three gallons of salt water from the good old Pacific Ocean taken out of the engine before it could be started. Boatmen were quite at home as they serenely rowed about watching the plight of autOLStS.
