TELEPHONING TO A MOVING TRAlfr Invention Makes It Possible to Keep in Touch With Travelers From Any Point llri.rllil.rl from IlnllW, n I-f"?!11'0 i:naliie-rlna hy rpeclal arrangement. THERE have been many Instances In the past uhcro a railroad train dlrpatchcr nun the one-man power on tlio road, anil sonio of tho most melancholy nnd disastrous wrecks occurred by the issuanco of what Is familiarly called n "lap order.' This mistaken form of train-dispatching consisted in giving the rainc right of way lo two opposing trains at the same time. 1'or Instance, authorizing a train at A to run to H: and simultaneously permitting tho train lit It to start out on tlio load for A. Instances lmo been recorded where the train dispatcher baa discovered his mistake beforo the opposing trains actually collided, and lieiirt-remlliig scenes hao been en acted In tlio Utile office, when frantic calls lo stations A and It rr cited tho desperately tragic condition that tho trains bad both Bono and wcro bcjoml the leach of human help. , , No slagc-mado tragedy can ever shadow forlh tho appalling situation of such a dis patcher, an ho contemplates tho destruction and death which must shortly follow. He stands there, powerless to help, with tlm full realization that ho has raised up a mon strous Frankenstein which ho lannot over come. Many Ingenious appliances havo been brought out with the object of preventing a moving train from ever getting beyond communication. Signals controlled by tho dispatcher, automatic block signals, stop sig nals and Interlocking signals probably repre sent tho heft methods of Insuring saiciy io day: but a step forward seems to havo been ipade, whereby tho telephone has been called Into requisition to carry Information without pioduclng any forced halt, like tho stop signal. Information, trivial or highly Impor tant, can be given by telephone, and the ncc essarv connection can bo mado by the central olllio'of any city telephone system from any point where a telephone Is to be. found. Dangers of Memory Lapses The fact that thcro aro such states as teinpoiary lapses of th memory which may tome lo it man or that distractions may break the continuity of a definite lino of thought arc conditions which are beginning to reach tho serious consciousness of tho tallwuv general manager. They arc truths old as tho hills, but arc now well established. To disregard them is to court danger. Tills fact cannot be, successfully disputed. One of tho many Inventions. ,or In this case applications, of existing facilities lo this Important function of directly communicat ing with n moving tialn from tho dis patcher's olTlce, or from any other ofllce on tho Hue, or from n house lu tlio city or town, or from moving train to another. Is tho sjsteni put In ufo by tlio Macfarlanc Train Control and Telephone Company. This system also permits telephoning to lie dono fiom ono end of a train to tho other or to any part,of tlio train. The conversation may bo held ns easily as from bouse lo house. The tone of tho voice is Jut as clear as with tho tetephono on a city circuit. Ono cannot tell that the train is moving, so far as the Found hi the instrument Is concerned. Tele phoning under any circumstances Is not spec tacular, but when applied lo train move incut it Is exceedingly useful ; In fact, the ait rises to Hie level of a splendid safety appliance. Connection Made Through Wheels The system has been applied to a part of the Intercolonial Railway by tho Canadian Government and appears to give every satis faction. Tho only connection with the rails Is through tho wheels. There arc no wear ing parts In connection with tho apparatus. It Is so simple that it can be Installed on any car In three hours and nt a relatively low expense. Tho benefits to be derived from It far outweigh tho small first cost. Thcro Is ono advantago that goes with a Government owned load, and that Is that experiments can now and then bo tried under suitable authority, by tho expendi ture of u little public money. Of course," this advantage Is always liable to abuse, but so far there has been no outcry that the thing has been overdone on tho Intercolonial. Tho telephone may bo operated as well ns Installed Independently and three conver sations may bo held with tho train while It Is In motion, even when at a speed of sixty miles nn hour. Tho telephone apparatus en ables train dispatchers, tpwer men, etc., to get Into communication with trains while they are moving. The train telephone saves a good deal of tlmo and trouble In transmitting messages to freight trains, and In foggy weather en ables tlio engineer and caboose men of a fi eight train to keep In touch with each other, even If a drawlicad pulls out and tho caboose Is tn cno block nnd the engine in an other. If connection Is made with tho regu lar Dell telephone system, trains can bo put In communication with any Hell telephone subscriber. Imaglno paying a reasonable fee nnd speaking to a member of your family about a matter which had suddenly developed although that member of tho family had al leady been gone a half day! You can get an onswer Instantly and tho decisive "yes" or "no" Is yours at once. However convenient, or whether spectac ular or not, telephoning to a moving train by ono In authority concerning Its move ment or right of way Is always a matter of the greatest Importance, and In emergency It may be of superlative concern to those on board. The telcphono may not prevent a lapse of memory or a distraction from cast ing the shadow of doom upon an Ill-starred train, but tho telephone provides a most efficient method of promptly rectifying a mis take, beforo It Is too late. The train Is never beyond the reach of help. It can never be unwillingly abandoned to Its fate.

Philadelphia, February :s. A NEW FISCAL SYSTEM To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger: Sir Tho npparent downfall of tho nus slan Bolshevikl should not discourage those many thousands of disinterested workers all over tho world who believe In a real human brotherhood nnd are striving to bring It about. Hut there is a fundamental fallacy In the teachings of all Socialists which must hn wiped out It the Socialists are to make a success of any chance they may have lu the future. That fallacy is that the profits of capital rob labor and are responsible for low wages and poverty, rroflts do not rob labor! Labor Is robbed by the price of land and by a financial system which permits corporations to Issue unlimited capital secu rities and then to pile on moro debt In the shape of bonds and mortgages, the payment for all of which Is promised In the future. Nature docs not allow perpetual debt. Nature demands a market where all the products of labor and capital will sell for cash. Such a market would necessitate every corporation furnishing and maintaining Its own capital. Such a market .would require tho wages of labor to be high enough so that labor could purchase Its share of corr poratlon securities, as well as Its share of commodities. Such a market demands absolutely doing away with the market for land, and the single tax win not do that. That reform must come from changing our financial sys tem so that the wages of labor will allow labor to buy back all It produces, and at a big profit. The land market In normal times, especially prevents employment of labor In building enterprises, and also pre vents what comparatively llttlo building Is done from selling In the market at a profit. The contention of single taxers that pay. Ing rent forHand tobs labor Is as absurd as tho Socialist contention that pfoflts iob labor, There are only two things uold In the ODen market, today-land and. labor,, neform voir noaacUl aytm,o..Oit.Jabor, and tt prod. 'HEY, THERE!" potntocs In other words, labor will get It nil, will not bo exploited. Capital does not make enough profit now, let alone making so much that It robs labor. Capital must havo a cash market lu which Its securities will sell at a profit, tho same as commodities sell at n profit. And If capi tal docs not have such a cash market for its securities, thereby allowing labor to buy them.' then capital can only exist In the form of debt and this debt holds the wages of labor to a living basis only and restricts every market In which these corporations look to sell goods. That Is the reason of all our financial dllllculty. Instead of a free circulation of money In business through high wages, tho land market holds wages down to a living basis only. As long as land has a prlco Just so long will a sound financial system bo impossible, nnd Just so long will capital and labor bo hampered and restricted In their work. Notwithstanding their mistakes the Bol shevikl havo given tho world tho greatest object lesson in democracy it has ever had, nnd the effects of tills lesson will go march ing on. ANTHONY K CROW13LL. Philadelphia, February 27, WHAT MARIE ANTOINETTE REALLY SAID Tho so.frequently quoted question of Marie Antoinette, "Why, it tho starving French peasants could not get bread, they did not cat cake?" Is thus explained: When one understands the French lan guage ami tlio French manner of preparing food, one sees nothing absurd In the question Mario Antolnctto was said to have asked. Ficnch pates were made and put Into calsscs composed of flour and water, which were never eaten, but thrown away when tho pato was finished. Marie. Antoinette, who knew nothing of the lira of the starving peasant, asked whv they did not eat the calsso (of the pate) It 'they bad no bread. A bad translation gave the woid cake for calsse. wh ch mado tho question seem ut erly heartless at least; but there was noth ug absurd In It. Hvery Kngllsh person who ISTi.T .m' ""t0 '' f0',e ras or n l,a do gib cr will know exactly what poor Marie An olnetto meant When slie asked why tlat which sho had always- seen thrown away' should not bo eaten by peoplo who were with out bread and Harvlng. viscountess Dll on.

The capital wealth of Franchowcvcr, Is enormous, and although the got cost of the, war has mado a deep loresslon on it, France Is still well able ti support her burdens. No better evidence cjthls fact could'be afforded than the ready nponso to the call for sub scriptions to therecent loan. , As a matter- ( fact, the available funds of the French pople, as Indicated by notes and deposits, hre actually been' Increased during the war.lesplto the heavy .demands of the State, bj'no less than slrteen mil liards of frano; and thus far. from all Fources. tho Ffach public has lent nearly. l,500,000,000,000francs to the Government for tho prosecHon of the war. A very large part of Us enormous sum hap come from the mlddlejrtlsan and peasant classes, and this Is pcrhps the greatest proof which could bo affoiied, not only of natloAal unity, but of nalcnal soundness. France, .to day, is reaping file reward of the long-practiced frugality nil thrift of Its working peo ple. For manyftars past, the'French work Ingtnan has bea learning to save, and.lt Ja a well-known ittct that ono of- the great ambitions of tW French peasant and small farmer Is "to tiy rente" whenever he can. The French pernio have, Indeed, learned the value of statsVlnvestment, nnd .they have, long since, overcome that curious mlatruit, characteristic if tho peoplo In many 'coun tries, which iKilnea them to resort' to the "woolen Btockiii" as a banker, rather tlian exchange thelrjold for Bcrlp. Tho French 1 people, moreover, aro thor oughly awake lo the significance of the war. France Is, and lias been from the first, r much In the) fighting; line. The war has swept over herborders, and has been brought homo to no section Of the community more,' forcibly than to the peasants of the' country side. As a cowequence of fhls, France real izes that no.-pcrlflce ot wealth can be too great to secun.natlonal safety.
