U. s. WORKERS WORRY ABOUT THEIR JOBS, FEARING MANY
 DRASTIC CHANGES.


 Washington--It Is doubtful how seriously an election campaign af- fects business in general. but the effect on the business of govern ment is always. painfully apparent.
 Considering how barren wash ingtoii has been of its higher cfh- cials for many weeks and how much serious attention has been devoted to the campaign in the departments and bureaus, it IS rather stirprising that the country has felt no n0ticeably had effects.
 Of course, the chief sufferers have been the foreign diplomats and the unofficial leaders of the local social racket, who have had a hard time opening the season properly. But the rest of the na- ton doesn't understand the se- riousness of such q situation and probably has not appreciated their woe.
 As affected by the pre-election trentens, the servants of the peo. pie here may be divided into three groups:
 The president. all the members of his cabinet, most of the depart mental assistant secretaries and some of the bureau chisfs> and commission members, who have been tearing around thet country making political speeches ant strengthening fences.
 About a thousand presidential appofntees, including bureau chiefs and other minor officials holding good jobs, who have been specti- iating rather furiously as to future employment and ifi many cases at- tempting to get q foot over on the other side of the political fence so that all hope might not be lost in c4se of a change of administration.
 The big bulk of tens of thou sands of clerks and other minor workers under civil service, most of them busy wondering not only about what would happen to their bosses. but also about their own futures.
 But the wheels didn't stop. Tn every department there's one key man of whom the outside world never ii. hears. who knows the whole works from top to bottom and can keep 1t operating. So 1t didn't seem to make much difference to normal government functions even If all the high officials were out on the stump,
 The most obvious effect in the federal offices was an enormous amount of talk. Whether this had fauy important influence 0n the effis cisncy of the machine is proble-

Last week there appeared in these columns a dissertation on the nature of beer. Special reference was made to the alcoholic content of that drink, the whole being done in cadences measured by weight and volume. It now seems fitting to learn about wines spirits. It was 50 many years ago that French champagne followed mus catel on the ship that was outward bound that the memory of them has slightly faded. Even the ex- perts needed reference books to decide the alcohol content and then some of the experts disagreed a. mong themselves.
 Back in 1903, when Broadway had the theaters and restaurants and toast of the town drank from silver Slippers, the committee of fifty' set out to learn about alsohol. This is not concerned with their findings about the effect of liquor on the heartbeats of dogs. In the course of that experiment., how ever, they made many tests of the content of drinks that ranged from cider to brandy. They took in, en route, patent medicines and so proved the potency of stomach bit- ters.
 The report of the committee is now quite hard to get. but Q copy may be found in the dusty archives of the United States Brewers as-. sociation.

Insulated Highways

Benton Mackaye. author of books and magazine articles on city planning. has suggestion to make Concerning new kind of transport. He calls it the cement rail- road" All over the country, he points out, there are stretches of abandoned rail- road trackage. Trains have been discontin- ued because that particular line or branch had ceased to be profitable.
 Mir Mackaye suggests that cement be poured over those tracks and motor traffic then routed over them. Certain railroad features would be retained - the free right of way, no access to the track Cor highway) except at stations and junction points, ex- press traffic and local traffic kept to different lanes. overhead or underpass grade crossings. freedom from all the impediments to traffic found along present motor highways. such as barbecues, filling stations, residences schools, and SO on. He uses the term rail- road" in order to break away from the ideas associated with the word highway.
 Various details would have to be worked out The thing is not so simple as merely pouring cement. But all the details seem possible of execution and the net result worth the time and cost. At present. MT Mackaye reminds his readers, the motorist IS cheated out of the full use of his machine. On the insulated highway" or "townless highway" two names equally applicable to the cement railroad" transport and resi- dence are completely divorced. with resulting speed. comfort safety. efficiency. It is not wholly new idea. Mussolini has done something of the sort in Italy.
