BUSSES DRAW MILLIONS FROM LONDON'S SUBWAYS| By Austin West, (United riess Stait Correspondent) London, April 30.—Millions of Londoners start week-end trips' these days, using the greatest city's great-| test transport system—the omnibuses. Everyone scrambles to find a seat “on top.” Lnormous week-end traffic and ex- tension of bus-lines into suburban areas has increased bus business un-| til some amazing comparative statis-| tics are possible. For example, the! London omnibuses today carry ‘far more passengers than the.combined subway and surface railways in the London district. Official figures, showing the total number carried daily by both lines of travel, are as follows: Buses, 2,500,000 persons.

Miss Ford was one of the first to volunteer for service as an entertainer for the soldiers. Early in 1918 her voice failed her. Every effort made to find a remedy failed until in the fall of 1918, when she made an airplane trip. This was while she was in Lima, Peru. Presi- | dent Leguia had asked her to sing. She was preparing to send her re- grets and an explanation when aj | former army officer asked her to ac- company him on a flight. When they reached an altitude of 8,000 feet Miss Ford said she felt'a curious semsation in her throat and ncse.

Two hundred feet from the source of sound, however, the speed is only 5 per cent more than normal, and at 500 feet the velocity of the sound has risen to normal.

OFTEN COSTLY, IF NOT FATAL B R n Many cases of severe sickness—sometimes a fatal sickness—could have been confined within the limit of light one-had the patient called his-doctor at the outset, In such cases the patient often tries to “show. that the doctor doesn’t know it all,” or follows the advice of someone in the family or of a friend in trying to get “‘cured.” Very frequently such people take just the op- posite of what the system needs to help it overthrow the trouble. Nature is kind—willing—and in' such cases she does frequently overcome such experi- mentation.
