SAYS UNDERPASS WOULD
INCREASE HAZARDS

To The Editor:
have no desire to get into any
newspaper controversy or argument
in regard to the underpass, but
would like very much to ask the
authorities who are promoting this
proposition one question: If the und-
erpass were built according to speci-
fications and plans at the Charles
street intersection, and the high
school had not been built, and they
were looking for a site on which to
put the high school, do you think that
the present site would have been
considered? I for one do not believe
that the school would ever have been
put on the present location had they
anticipated an underpass as is con-
templated, as same will no doubt in
crease traffic and hazard to the at
tendants of the school. believe that
I would be safe in saying and predict
ing that if this underpass is built as
planned, there will be more fatal and
horrible accidents at the crossing
than at all the other railroad cross
ings in the city combined, as the traf-
fic hazard by the school would be in
creased 200 percent or more.

OTHERS VIEWS
SUGGESTS LOCATION FOR
UNDERPASS

To The Editor:
Again 1 am writing about that
twelve foot gulley in front of our
High School. I am not concerned
about the trying not to have an und-
pleased that they have gotten this
100000 piece of pie out of the grab
bag they are having at Washington
Neither am 1 concerned with friend
Bobs efforts to keep it from in front
of his house, while he has my SYM
pathy.
My only contention is that this
should not be over to Charles street
having that gulley with stop light,
all the noise, congestion, and danger
to students, if it is possible to place
it elsewhere.
1 am now going to suggest it be
put on Mitchell Street. Turning at
Fire engine house, this would take off
about ten feet of railroad freight de-
pot. But they are now delivering di-
rect most of freight, also they have a
lot of open shed that can be enclosed
to make up loss.
Over on Mitchell street, there is a
drop just beyond William street so
that going east they would only have
to pull up a few feet, while on
Charles street in front of Bob Pow
ellis its three feet higher than at Will
lam street. which will make about
sixteen feet to be pulled up there in
coming up from gulley. And from
Mitchell they have just about room to
pull up to Montgomery and Charles
from the gulley.
Again I am told that if underpass
is not built, insurance rates on east
side will be raised twenty percent,
unless they put a fire department on
east side also. Well this pass at Nit
chell would enable the fire trucks to
run straight across. Also a farmer
from Townsville can bring his 'bac-
Ger direct across to the warehouse on
east side if he wishes.
am told that Charles street is to
be paved by ball park out to the 9TH
er road, and if they close Andrews
avenue crossing, every one will use
the pass coming in by High school,
To do that they have to pull up
Charles street to the rise in front of
Bobs then slide down sixteen feet to
pass. While if crossing it as Mitchell
street, they can use Charles street
to College, turn into Mitchell and
have an almost level road to Garrett
street
And as 20 cost, I believe this would
cost less than present plan. I am told
the pass will he made so beautiful
grant on Garrett they can make a
very fine park arrangement, but they
can't get away from the gulley, and
congestion and danger they will put
on Charles.
They may plant all the roses they
can, and paint beautiful pictures on
sides of the gulley Il suggest that
Dave select pictures for one side,
and we'll Mrs. Paris select for the
other side) The railroad has started
moving their scales, and are to take
up outside track at once, so we are
going to have this, but please, please,
please, please, don't put all this in
front Of the new High school.
If you agree with me phone the
Mayor and your alderman, don't call
me as some have. I am not boss.

new York, July 31-Rather Trivial
interview with Globe-Trotter.
w. Slr, In view of the fact that YOU
nave travelled all over the world on
ooats' trains, camels and airplanes,
perhaps you can give a few tips to
tnose who are about to take late
summer vacations on the water. For
instance, what kind of ship do you
recommend? One of the mammoth
luxury liners like the Normandie or
the Queen Mary, one of the fast in
petWeeners like the Europa or the
tex, or one of the smaller, slower
craft on the order of the Washington
or the Georgic-or perhaps an even
more democratic ship such as the
Pennland or President Garfield?
A. That question is as old as pas
senger travel by sea- 1t all depends
on your bankroll, your tastes, your
mood of the moment and your vaca-
ton length. For honeymooners, I'd
recommend one of the giants, full of
plush and grandeur and shine It's
possible to be completely and mag
nificently alone on those floating
cities as it isn't, sometimes, on the
smaller boats. But for experienced
travellers who aren't trying to catch
train abroad, I suggest the mod
erately large, moderately fast boats.
Q. What five things would you
warn every novice traveller to keep
in mind as he embarks
A. CD Don't arrange to throw a
large sailing party in your state
room-the party will take up time
and thought you ought to devote to
last-minute arrangements a h e.
CD Don't think you have to make
friends among the other passen-
gers the first hour out-youll invar-
iably accumulate the ships bores and
they'll stick like leeches for the rest
of the trip. CD Don't plan to snug
gle anything, such as cigarettes, past
foreign customs. (4) Don't think you
must dress for dinner every night
aboard-or at all-unless you wish.
60 Don't try tipping-as-you-go Wait
for the end of the voyage and reward
employees on a basis Of services rem
dered you.
Q. What about the danger from
professional gamblers?
A. I am sorry, for the sake of rom
ance, to admit that it is very remote.
| once crossed the Indian Ocean with
pair of men I was certain were

professionals. We played poker and
on the last night, as per the old
shakedown technique, they suggest
ed doubling the stakes. I won good
deal of money that night and next
day, while the ship was docking, I
overheard one of the mems wives
talking about me. She said, Look at
that shameless professional gambler
over there! He won an enormous sum
from my husband"
@. What about the captain? Should
you strive to make his acquaintance,
or consent if you are celebrated
enough to be asked to set at his
table?
very busy man. There is really no
more reason that he should be on a
basis of intimate camaraderie with
you than that the pilot of a big air
liner should answer your questions
about the instrument board and sit
in, while the co-pilot takes over, at a
game of bridge with you. Certainly
sit at the captains table if you are
invited, but remember when you try
to get chummy that he has heard all
the comments you have to make on
his ship, the weather and the state
of International politics several thous-
and times before.
Q. What tips do you give on a first
class transatlantic liner?
A. Of course that depends on your
reputation-by which I mean your
reputed wealth, and on your gener-

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
~ Years Ago Today-When the
Russian womens battalion, known Of
ficially as the Command of Death"
went into action against the Ger
mans near Smorgen, they captured a
number of German women who were
also fighting in the trenches. It was
the first war of women VS.. women
in the modern world.
Ten wounded members who were
sent to Petrograd after the battle
said it was reported that of 200 of the
command who reached the front, only
so remained. Twenty were killed.
eight taken prisoners and all the
rest were wounded.
Several times" said one wounded
girl, we attacked the Germans. Els
pecially memorable was our attack
at Novospassky wood, near Smorgen,
where the enemy, hearing the voices
of women. lost their nerve. The re-
suit was that the prisoners were
few women, from whom we learned
for the first time that German wo-
men were also fighting.
I'VE advanced gaily against the foe
with laughter and song, our only I'M
pleasant sentiments being when we
first came to the corpses. Once when
replying to the enemy's severe rifle
and machine gun fire, we discovered
that all our men comrades in the
neighboring trenches had treacher-
ously fled. leaving us-a handful of
women-to face the enemy alone"

Capitalism Purging Itself

(New York Times)
 In his West Virginia speech last week Colonel Knox struck what was for him, comparatively new note He avowed himself believer, to certain extent, in the doctrines of share the wealth. He is convinced that is to say, that there should be wider and farer distribution of the profits of indus try and business He is in favor of shorter hours and higher wages He also admits that modern capital ism great as have been the benefits which it brought the world has developed certain incidental wrongs and evils which ought to be removed.
 At this point Colonel Knox parts company with the methods and proposals of the New Deal. He is persuaded that capitalism is able and willing to cure itself Already it has rid itself of some of it's worst vices If let alone by the Government it will proceed gradually to adopt better and more socially minded processes, thus continuing to the end of the path upon which it has long been advancing.
 Some of the which Colonel Knox gives for holding that there self-curatve spirit great corporations today seem open to question. One Of his arguments that large companies have proceeded to distribute their stock much widely It is said that the of the depression there 120000O0 small stockholders in American chartered organza- tions. The implication of Colonel Knox was that they had distinct voice in the election of directors and control of the business. It is well known, however, that corporate management is usually able to perpeu ate itself by the vote of much less than majority of the stock. The small holders count but little in such matter though it may be that their interest in given company may make them anxious to pro- tect it against unwise confiscatory legislation This was shown to be the case in the vast protest which made at Washington by small owners of securi- ties when the bills affecting the utilities were pending. In that instance it not stocks but bonds that counted Many millions of the latter had been bought by small and honest investors without any thought of speculation, and they, naturally. alarmed when they saw that the interest their savings was in danger of being wiped out by nasty and oppressive laws.
