Here is my proposal for
the Route 240 location. Let 1t
traverse the western side OF
Rock Greek Park in such a
manner that 1t would affect
only the edge Of the park and
not actually divide it. AT the
southern end. let the route
swing eastward around the
main part OF the Zoo and
enter the business section
via Sixteenth or Eighteenth
streets or a likely combina-
ton. Also make the express
way approximately six lanes
each way Tor fix the lanes
for one direction according
TO am. or pm. use). still re-
tanning the maximum total
lanes. Let there be practi-
cally no stops or intersec-
tons, except where the route
enters the business section or
where 1t is not practical to
do otherwise. AS for the APP
proaches. and turn-ofs. let
them be few and we'll planned
and regulate the traffic flow
by a maximum and mimi
mum speed limit.
With this proposal. I be-
lieve all through traffic and
traffic to the northern sub
urbS, where much OF the
city's growth is taking place,
would be quickly and safely
siphoned of, thereby reliev-
ing much trafiic from other
arteries that normally would
be overcrowded.

difficulties of the foreign ma

reached its high point in 1893.
The simple fact is that for

Mr.. Weeks gave the COM

OF industries in this country

ported and imported on a

several industries whose

their products are exported in
much larger volume than they

that these industries NAV well

markets abroad. In this con-
nection he mentioned the
chemical trade. pointing out
that in 1853 the United States

products and imported some
$3.50 million worth. Our ex-

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

1t is an amazing thought,
that small boys once spinned
or spun tops at the corner
OF Fifteenth and II streets.
1t was in the days Just be-
fore automobiles came in. or
maybe right after they came
in, when there were only a
few of them.
Those were steamers, as
we recall. with copper rods
appearing here and there.
There were so few cars
that they did not interfere
with the boys and their ia
vorite sport Of top spinning.
Probably nothing shows
the difference between that
age and this. that today the
observer never sees a top
anywhere.
A small neighborhood store
had the best tops.
These were smaller than
the usual sort. and heavier
and in the proper hands did
som" delicious spinning like
mad.
Todays boys never heard
OF tops. either to knock the
other fellows top out OF the
ring, or to whip them.
Top whipping was what
took the boys 10 Fifteenth
and II streets.
They started in the resi-
dence neighborhood of Sew
enteenth and @ streets. and
simply went downtown.
whipping their tops as they
walked.
This was a leisurely sport.
but outdoors.
II put red blood into the
checks OF its devotees.
There we're two ways OF
whipping
One was overhead. the
other along the ground
An expert could throw a
top as high as a house, down
the street for at least half
a block.
The small performer who
preferred the underhand
method could do about as
well. despite the friction OF
the peg as II ran along the
asphalt street.

surface. even in those days,
helped top spinners i'm
mensely.
All one had TO do was 10
try not to strike anybody.
As far as recollection goes.
the boys were pretty good in
this regard. and were aided
by what today seems saner
mental attitude on the part
OF the small boy population
1t may be that the fact
that ones father would not
think very much OF any mis-
deed helped a great deal In
