Pneumatic Tires On
Trains Cut Ont Noise

Saint Arnold to Coltainville near
Paris. No noise could be heard when
the car started and the feeling was
that OF a plane travelling in calm
weather. The acceleration was great.
IL less than two hundred yards a
speed OF 60 miles an hour was =
tanned. The bends were taken at 60
miles an hour without the slightest
discomfort and on straight lines over
20 miles was achieved.
Seated in comfortable arm-chai.s,
passengers conversed with ease.
There was no shock and one could
not detect where the rails joined.
Brakes took hold within ITO yards
and the cars stopped as easily rs
motor coaches. Level crossings were
passed az a low speed. The fuel
consumption was low.
The possibility Of a puncture has
been carefully looked into. Inside
the tires Is placed a rim OF hard
wood which corresponds to the steel
rim OF the wheel OF the present dly
car. Even II the tire bursts at a
high speed the passengers, the ia
ventors claim, will not feel Il.
A a can run with a flat tire
but it IS preferable to hinge the
wheel. an operation which takes 4
few minutes only. when the tire
T. flat the wheel does not lower
more than one inch. and the wood
en- rim keeps II on the rail.
A leading French railway official
said 1T Is not an evolution but a

Motorists Avoid Dozen Big
Eastern Cities Because
of Poor Directions.

Mazes of unmarked streets in q
dozen Eastern cities have caused these
cities to be designated the "detour
Dozen" while washington, with its
labyrinthine circles, skipping streets
and trick left turn regulations is SEQ ed
a model of street marking by the New
York Automobile Club, a member OF
the American Automobile Association
The "detour DOZEN" the New York
organization states today, is SO named
from the complaints of touring New

routed through those cities.

pears to be the chief aim of motorists
from New York" the Gibbs statement
said, while the other cities, in the
order of the number of objections to
them, are Philadelphia, Newark, Pitts
burgh, Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Bal
tinore, Providence, Trenton, Buffalo and
Albany.
mo objections, on the other hand,
are ever registered by motorists to being
routed through Washington; in fact,
the contrary is true because of the ex-
peditiously regulated traf1c in the
streets and the well defined national
highways.
THE aversion Of motorists to driving
through Boston probably is due to the
fact that the Hub City is so poorly
equipped with directional signs that
many automobiles are willing to sacri-
fee the almost priceless historical asso-
Citations of that city for the sake OF
avoiding the risk Of being lost.
Conditions In all Of the IL cities
which are so distasteful to so many
motorists are not found in the Capital
These are constant traffic congestion,
narrow streets, too many trafic lights
and great lack Of highway markers

TRAINS FILLED
GOING SOUTH

Although the number of pas
sengers carried by the railroads
in and out of Washington is lower
this winter than for number of
years, every train which pulls out
for the Southern winter resorts
is filled to capacity.
But despite the fact that trains
carrying winterweary residents of
the north to the milder climes are
travelling in two and three Sec
tions. observers of experience
profess to believe that the num-
bers are no greater, if as great.
as those who have made the
winter trek in search of milder
weather in other winters.
Regular Trains Busy
They substantiate. this estimate
by calling attention to the fact
that while the regular trains are
doing capacity business and are
running on multiple sections. the
lines catering to the Southern
trade have not placed their usual
extra trains in operation this
winter.
Travel in general last month
is estimated to have fallen below
the previous .ow record for Janu
ary which was established in 1880
when the so-called depression was
still young.
Winter Months Busy
Although the first quarter of
the year is usually low water
mark TO most of the railroads
this generalization will not hold
true in all instances, as some of
the lines, especially those serving
the resort states of the South.
which enjoy their best season in
the colder months.
For the majority of lines Serv-
ing Washington the upward swing
will get under way shortly before
Easter. Memorial Day will usher
in the heaviest season OF travel
which falls in June and July, IA
vorite vacation months.

THE MEXICAN HECIRA

From the San Francisco Argonaut
The short and simple annals of the
poor contain no more moving and
tragic story than is being enacted to-
day In the desert as from 10000 to
100000 Mexicans journey to their
own patria in an exodus from the
United States which amounts in size
and import to virtual folk move
ment.
For many years the Mexican has
been pouring into the United States
Stories of higher wage, of opportun-
tiles for education, of homes as
against adobe huts, of a land where
the larder would not longer be cir
cumscribed by the single word bean
have lured him here. He has worked
on the railroads, in the cotton fields
Partly through his own wish, partly
through social and economic pressure
he has founded his own colonia in
most cases in the city to which he
drifted. From the time the depres-
sion first struck the United States he
has found that milk and honey no
longer existed in the Promised Land
and so he has turned his eyes back to
his barren hills and vast stretches OF
desert and cactus longingly.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-09-04

And he has acted. His home equity
has been sacrificed, his furniture sold
for less than a song, and in ancient,
disreputable auto, less frequently by
horse and buggy and actually Oft
times on foot he has set out on his
long journey. 1t is movement that
has been going on for months and
that has swelled to the proportions Of
a migration.
Hundreds of them have died there,
their relatives and friends struggling
on with the corpses as they fear they
are themselves soon to become. Chill
dren have died at their mothers
breasts. Mothers have died that their
children might live. Alongside every
camino in Chihuahua are these mute
monuments to as terrific and horrify-
ing a trek as the world has ever seen.
Bravely, indeed, they started homel
Miserably do they die AS Spartans
do, their families struggle on with
their dead loved ones as an additional
burden! Thousands dead, dying,
starving, footsore, animated only by
that instinct which makes every liv-
ing thing seek its familiar home
whereat to die!
The world knows no sadder saga Of
sorrow.
