to Chicago will be triple tube af- fair, and each of the tubes will be ahout l2 feet in diameter.
 All terminals along the route will have turntables for turning the cars around for return trips, or for switching them into tubes lead ing to loading stations or repair shops.
 Several other stations are pro posed in Alaska besides the term inal at Nome. One at Nulato or Ruby on the Yukon, another north of Mt. Mckinley Park where the tubes will cross the Seward and Fairbanks railroad route, and at Rapids and Skagway, with inland stations serving Juneau, Peters burg, Wrangel and Ketchikan, where the tubes will skirt the bays on its eastward swing into Canada. Then, too, there will be stations al Edmonton, Canada; Fargo, North Dakota; Twin Cities, Minnesota; and LaCross and Madison, Wiscon- sin.
 This transport system will make Alaska a next door neighbor of the States, since it will give her direct transportation connections with the traffic center of North Amer ica. Such hoOk-up will bring about further development of the Territory, not only as a producer, but also as a vacation land. It will be possible for Chicagoans to spend the weekend in Alaska and

Alaska TOChicagO In Six Hours Is
 Inventors Dream
tBY John H. Louis) PONY EXPRESS RAIL EXPRESS WATER EXPRESS AIR EXPRESS TUBE EXPRESS

The States may .lOt be so far away, after all, that is, they won't be, when the dream of a Jefferson, Wisconsin, inventor comes true.
 Imagine a nonstop trip from Nome, Alaska, to Chicago, H., in maybe less than six hours! And it won't be by aeroplane. It will be a such safer journey. John H. Louis, the inventor, claims that it can be done with his proposed transport system, and he adds that construction of his system is of greater importance to man than a scientists trip to the moon.
 The mode of travel, as proposed by the Wisconsin man, was espe- cially designed for crossing the Northwest wilds of this continent, where the valleys are low and the hills are high, and where the snow piles up and the mercury goes

down.

down.
 The transport system that Louis has invented will never be dis rupted by wandering Alaskan moose, nor will it be slowed up be- cause of bad weather, such as heavy rains, snow, sleet or fog, be- cause it travels under-cover-not under roof, but through a tube mounded over with earth. The tubes will be below the frost line and out of reach of the sun so as to prevent expansion and contrac- ton. Where bridging is necessary the tubes will be covered with sheetlc3 and will be insulated.
 Toe cars, which will be built in one or more units, will travel through the tubes on rails, but not on wheels. Since they will travel at speeds in excess of 500 miles per hour, wheels the least bit out of balance would fly to pieces.
 You might say that the process of skating will be reversed-in- stead of steel runners sliding on an iced surface, this transport sys- tenn will have runners that will slide in the groove on V-Shaped steel rails. But the runners won't be made of ice, because friction melts ice. The inventor is keeping that part of it a secret.
 There will be three V-Shaped rails placed in a triangular posi-

COPS TEMPERATURES UP

BLOOMINGTON, III. tP)-Po- licemen at the Bloomington station daily for months have given the correct time and temperature to an unidentified woman telephone caller who said she was "too poor" to buy radio and get the informa- ton.
 Finally they had an old radio re- paired as a gift for the caller but before giving it to her one officer investigated.
 She lives in a better home than any policeman could afford and she has a fat bank account" he told his fellow officers.
 The radio went to the police club rooms. The woman calls every day for the time and temperature.

 And the cars, built in the shape of rockets, will not be equipped with engines-they will be rocket powered. And eventually atomic power
 The tubes will be equipped with drains for the disposal of seepage, as well as with vents for the dis charge of air pressure and gases.
 When the cars leave a station all the vents ahead will be open for the release of the air pressure ahead, but they will close auto matically as the cars pass by them. This will build up" the force be- hind the cars.
 All the cars will be entered from the side at the stations, yet they will have emergency exits at the front and rear. Escape from the tubes can be made through the chimney-like vents that will ex- tend above ground to a height of snowfall level.
 All the cars will be equipped with radio and television sets, the waves being picked up from the rails. Broadcasts will originate al the terminals.
 The entire system will be auto matically controlled. The dis patcher will know the whereabouts of all cars at all times, and will be able to talk by telephone with the car operators. Electricity for light ing and heating cars and for op- erating their contols will be fed to the cars through the rails.
 All stations will be equipped with gates that will shut-Off the tube so the air pressure in the tube will aid the brake shoes gripping the sides of the rails in stopping the cars. An additional brake can be applied by discharging rockets from the front end. A controlled vent in the tube at the station will release surplus air pressure. After the car has stopped the tube would be ventilated before the car and station doors would be opened.
 Then when the car is ready to leave the station the gate in front of the car will be opened and an other gate at the rear will be closed. This will give the cars "solid footing" in starting out, and it will permit another car to fol low. The proposed route from Nome

be back on the job by Monday morning.
 The government of the United States will be asked to provide the right-of-way in exchange for a road-bed for a Super-highway that can be built on top of the earth mounded over the tubes. The warmth of the tubes would almost keep the road-bed free of snow and ice in winter.
 The transport system will be es- sential to the United States govern ment for secretly moving troops and supplies to Alaskan bases.
