It is the greatest transportation system. In our country are 156,000 elevators. They haul more people than all the railroads, surface street cars, elevated and subways combined. So say engineers who, after five years’ study, have just completed a safety code to decrease elevator acci- dents. pee es, This new safety’ de, prepared by the Amer- ican Society of Mechanieal Engineers, is a com- posite of national experience. Baltimore expects to be first to adopt it. .Other cities should) study it carefully. ; Do you ever get scared, riding in an elevator? Accidents are few, considering the number of passengers. But if you want to play safe, keep an eye on the elevator door. Three-fourths of ele- vator accidents occur at the doors or by falling down the shaft. | Most of these accidents can be eliminated by installing interlocks. With them in place, the car cannot move until the door is closed, and the door cannot be opened until the car is at the floor land- ing. The engineers endorse this as real Safety First. ‘ Archimedes, Greek mathematician, some 2200 years ago invented the first “flying chair” —a crude clevator, lifted by ropes, operated by man- | power. It was not until 1850 that George Fox invented the first power elevator, lifted by a serew-plunger. Steam elevator was displaced by hydraulic type, still used by the thousands. The electric elevator came in about 35 years ago. iy Observe that it took more'than’2600 years to perfect the crude idea of Archimedes: Funda- mental progress is slow.in this world, and success is possible only through infinite patience and un- ceasing endeavor in the face of repeated disap- pointments and failures. | ‘That is as true of individuals as it is of inven- tions and progressive movements. It was the elevator, perfected by Americans, that made possible the creation of skyscrapers. The skyscraper increases congestion of popula- tion, so it is as much a curse as a blessing—except | for land owners and exploiters. se Evil, however, frequently breeds good, Thus} the elevator, producing the skyscraper, compelled the development of fire-proof building construc-/| tion, which has extended out to protect buildings without elevators. 3 | Peculiar, how a commonplace device like the elevatcr influences our lives and civilization. More interesting, it is the only form of free transporta-| tion. ; ALCOHOL From the mountains near Hickory, N. C., comes a story of a young fellow, who runs his auto on| moonshine. A copper coil makes his fuel as it is| needed, exploding the vapor before it condenses into liquid form. He carires a reserve supply. | How far off is the day when alcohol will take| the place of gasoline? It could be dirt-cheap, for, it can be made out of anything from potato peel- | ings to cornstalks, as home brewers have found out. | A big oil company has’ just bought an invens| tor’s formula for “alco-gas.” Keep the name in' mind. You made buy it later. } MISDIRECTED Twenty milion letters a year go to the dead! letter office, reports the postal department. Care- lessness. Yet these form only a small fraction of im-' properly addressed letters that postmen are able} to deliver after deep study and “trying them” | here and there. Naturally, you don’t send a letter unless you want it delivered. Be careful about getting ad- dress correct and in full. As a safeguard, put the big cities. They will be reduced to groups of factories and stores. Homes will be in the country —fresh air and plenty of playground for the chil- dren. AUTO-RADIO Around Boston glides an\ auto, its riders hear- ing radio concerts received by a “loop” antenna carried in the car. ‘ This arrangement will especially interest mid- night joy-riders. But don’t be surprised if, within five years, every auto is equipped with a wireless receiving outfit when it leaves the factory. One blessing of the wireless is that it is easily portable and can pick up its stuff “on the'run.” DOLLING UP How much do you spend a year on perfumes, toilet preparations and the like? The average is only 75 cents for each American, according to an estimate at New York convention of national as- sociation of perfume manufacturers. And the average person buys $1 of toilet soap, to each 75 cents of cosmetics, 3 Mud packs, for smoothing out facial wrinkles, are used by more men than women, say the per- fumers. Vanity, thy name is Man. MOTHERS : Fraulein Gertrude Baer-arrives from Germany, imported by American women’s pavifist ‘ovgArtiza- tions. She lectures against wpy,/éays that ‘ending war is:up to women. ; “A man system controls: the world. Women must replace the masculine principle with a feminine principle. Our supreme principle should be the sacredness of life.” This is a beautiful sentiment. +»), But the quickest, way for women to“end war is to stop giving their children toy guns and other playthings that waken the biological military in- stinct. World peace begins in the cradle, not in maturity. - 1 , DANDELIONS : The crop of dandelions is phenomenally big this year in most parts of the country. Home brew- ers, gleefully filling their baskets, will chuckle that Nature in this instance lines up against pro- hibition. Back of this is an interesting piece of vegetable- world biology.. Z The dandelion family last year discovered what amounted to a national campaign to exterminate it by robbing it of the blossoms that play “stork” in dandeliondom. i So the dandelions, fighting back, produce an ex- ceptionally big crop of flowers. ‘Some may si at the idea. But it is scientific fact—a working of the instincts of self-preservation and self-pfo- pagation: That’s why it is so hard to kill weeds. WHY? Tobacco companies say that production of cigarettes is 18 per cent less than a year 2g ond 16 per cent below 1920. Cigar output also is declining. Pipe tobacco and snuff are making only mild gains. America is smoking less.. Why? The answer is, nerves are calming down from high tension’ of wartime. Nervous systems, returning to nor- malcy, have less craving for stimulant. ‘EDITORIAL REVIEW te Comments reproduced inthis column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both aides of important iseues which ‘are being discussed in the press of the day. THE DRAKE,MILL “PROFIT” That the Drake, ‘imental mill” is now ‘making a “profiit” is the.claim ‘of Lewis F. Craw- ford, secretary of the industrial commission, But how slender. this.“profit” is, is shown from Mr. Crawford’s figures,‘and it ‘has a way of vanishing completely when studied too closely. The net: “profit” claimed for the first four months of the year is $492. But this is “subject to a depreciation charge of 5 per cent a year on the basis of a $20,000 valuation.” This would amount to $333 for four months. A little further on in the report, Mr. Crawford says that “the mill of course pays no taxes,” We ‘have no way of knowing exactly what the taxes; on the mill would be'if a private corporation owned it, but the state is losing the sum, whatever it is, and it would far more than wipe out any remain- ing “profit.” Moreover, no interest is figured on “losses already sustained and which there is not; the remotest chance of recovering.” iods of managing the mill. It probably is being joperated as efficiently and economically as it lcould be under state control. But some day the |taxpayers are going to sit down calmly and ask ithemselves: “Where is the ‘benefit ?” Are the your return address on every envelope. That will help speed the mails—and frequently farmers getting more for their wheat? What is; save you much annoyance and inconvenience. CONGESTION LESS New York learns that its congestion of popu enables city workers to live far out and get back and forth at fast speed.

ADVENTURE OF . | THE TWINS | By Olive Barton Roberts (Nancy and ‘Nick and the Magical Mushroom listened in amazement at the Moon-Man’s story. “You see, my dears,” said Mr, Peer- about, the Man-in-the-Moon, as he leaned back comfortably in his rickety old chair and stroked his beard, “the moon ig different from the earth. “The things you value on earth we moon-people don’t: care about at all. and the things you throw away down there we prize highly. “Take our cities, for instance, that you think are so wonderful, one built of carved ice-bjocks, another of white marble inlaid ‘with jewels, and one of ivory and pearl. s “They might be called handsome‘on the earth, but up here they are slums where the poorest people live. People who have nothing to eat but foasts and cake and fruit and fine sauces, and nothing to wear but velvets and sating and embroideries and Jaces and handsome furs live in these cities. “It is very sad about them, but we can do nothing about it. The poorer they get, the more servants and auto- mobiles they have, and the more gold rolls into their counting rooms. It’s uard to tell when it will stop.” “But what do the’ rich people have then?” Nancy couldn’t help saying. “Nothing,” replied the: Moon-Man. “Nothing at all. You see, I am the richest man in the moon and I have nothing at all. ‘Poverty is the most valued thing here and I have that.” The Twins understood now why Mr. Peerabout had said they were as wel- come as poverty. Don’t you’ have anything ‘to eat, even?” asked \Nick. “Oh, yes. Yes, indeed! For break- fast I have crackers and milk, for luncheon I ‘nave milk and crackers, and for tea 1 have mackers and crilk. I change the name just for variety. After that I'll show you around.” (To Be Continued.) gCopyvight, 1922, NEA Service.) WOMEN MEN ADMIRE.
