[0 und industrial importance; city. It was the New York of the | dawn age. Because of an early oper- | ation on a member of his family, Mr. | Street was obliged to reach the hos- | pital by 6 a. m. Knowing the night | before that he was to make the trip, | he conferred with Mrs, Street as te transportation, “Pake a taxi,” she said. ‘Don't be silly,” he responded. | “What would a taxi be doing out af i that hour.” “I think there will be taxis” said Mrs. Street, “but, of course, one coul( | slways charter a milk wagon.” Emerging from his door a few mo- | ments before six, Mr, Street found a New York he did not know. The air smelled crisp and clean, free of g.80 line fumes. The voice of the city war still. But there was a taxi. . ® . Mr. Street now believes the tax. was driven by a man training for the motor races on the Indianapolis speed- way. The streets apparently were empty and the driver took full advan- tage of the fact. Mr. Street main: tains that through the window he saw what appeared to be one of those mo- vies, where they speed up the film, of a deserted village. He thinks they passed other taxis; it was just like two limited trains passing in opposite directions, If the engines had cut loose from the cars and were going right | slong without them. He saw some oh- jects he opines might have been milk wagons, and claims he heard the voice ' of a newsboy, blown away by the rush- ing air. He thinks a railroad station or hotel flashed past, but isn't sure, as he was too busy hanging on and vell- ing at the driver. But it was very bracing. Mr. Street still insists we all should rise early in the morning and see the city free from traffic. it would be a great hour for a walk, he maintains, LI J It was Willard Fairchild who dis covered the horse and sleigh. This was in the hills of Connecticut at a “village which has po railroad station ‘and plenty of smow. The horse and sleigh belonged to a farmer, who be fore trusting the outfit to Mr. Fair! child. asked him whether he was un experienced driver, Mr. Fairchild as sured the farmer he had been around with horses a great deal, but neglected to mention that it had been with the artillery during the war, when he rode the caisson and others handled the Borses. Still, all went well. Mr. Fair- <hild got his family inte the sleigh and. when thie farmer handed him the reins elucked in the approved fashion, which apparently threw the animal into first speed. and away they went The horse took them for a very nice ride and brought them back safely, It wus then that the difficulty developed. . The farmer wasn't around, but his auall boy said his father had told him to ask Mr. Fairchild just to umhiteh the horse and tie him up in the stall in the barn. It seems that when you stood alongside this horse, it seemed sbout the size of a small elephant, which made some of the buckles and : hard to reach.

Once in five years the Olym- plad was held. and during the period of the games and the pre-game train ing period of ten months war was for widden among the Greek states. The contests were held over a period of five days, and the various tests of skill included running, jumping, wres- tiling, throwing the spear, throwing the discus, boxing and chariot racing.

He discovered in coul an energy store with millions of times the energy available from his own muscles, Nearly two hundred years later, he still thinks of ‘searcity’ when there is no scarcity. And, failing to adjust his institutions and his finan- cial mechanisms to the conditions of plenty, he has failed to realize the ad- vantages of plenty, Transformation of the United States The transformation of the United Atates into a new form of industrial society, through the interconnection of electric power and transmission of en- ergy, has already started, according to Mr. Leech, and “is now proceeding as rapidly as the previous political and economic Intergration of America by | railroad construction.” Mr. Leech points to recent develop: ments in the Carolinas as typical of what may be expected of the future industrinlism of the United States in the wake of Ite constantly expunding use of electrical energy. “Tn the Pled- mont region of the Carolinas," he writes, “the first quarter of the Twen- tieth century witnessed a repetition of the industrial revolution of the Eight- eenth century in the north of England. There was the same shift from agri- culture and cottage Industries to fac- tories, but np growth of cities to cor. respond to the growth of the steam. generated Babylons like Manchester, Leeds, Pittsburgh or Chicago, which gathered into themselves the great, | constructive forces of the Nineteenth century. “Ihe new type of Industrialisn, shick Is seen In most characteristic form In the Carolinas has been sub- jected to much criticism.

By these in dications, the bureau adds, many have concluded that the number of water fowl has Increased, whereas, except in limited regions, ducks were far less pelntiful than in other seasons. The bureau believes hunters have generally observed the shortened 1931 bunting season, and that this factor, coupled with the mild weather the | country has experienced, has effected a saving of ducks which will be able. to return to their nesting grounds in the spring. .
