GOOD ROADS HURT RAILWAY BUSINESS ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 29 ——Declaring that a rapid decrease in the number of people using the railroads for travel was di- rectly traceable to the automo- bile, F. B. Walker of the Farnk-; iin Automobile Company of Syr: cuse has predicted a still further swing from rail transport to auto. Improved highways have been a large factor, Mr. Walker be- lieved. He pointed out that the family. car had made cheaper | transportation a reality. An average of three cents a mile for all traveling expenses of a big car is not unusual, he stated. That amount would pay the way of five or six people and give them in the bargain the benefit of fresh air and a stop whenever they pleased, he said.

Rail Artillery Post Always Ready to Move NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov. 29.-—Ft. Abraham Eustis, even in peacetime, must sleep with one eye open. As the only rhilway artillery post in the United $tates, its guns are ready to move quick- ly to any part of the country. The huge railway gums can en train for any point on an hour notice, while even less notice :s required for tractor-propelled ar- tillery. These two types of artil- lery. cnmpr@e the mavable forts whi¢h were found highly valuable during the world war. Normally there are approximate- ly 1,800 officers and men at the fort, but in the summer it is the scene of a citizens’ military train- ing camp. A sound ranging battery, the only one of its kind in the couan- try, is charged with locating ene- my guns during war. This is done with electric “listeners” which receive and record the reverbera- tions of guns no matter how far | distant, The sound is plotted and the location of the gun may be told to an inch. a proud, trlumphant voice the J1d papers for sale at The Empire When Lincoln Park was plan-|: ned most of the graves were mov-|: ed, but not that of Kennison, The courts upheld the family in its refusal to permit removal.

Parisians Demonstrate <4 Against Auto Gas Tax ¢ PARIS, Dec. 29. — Taxpayers for once have been prevented by the police from paying their taxes. 5 Many automobile drivers were)) handled roughly recently when they gathered at one of the city gates and insisted on paying thed} ¥y ‘“octroi” or customs tax on gasoline being brought into Paris. There is some prospect the dem- ontration will help in abolishing | the old custom. A leading columnist, Georges de la Fourchardiere, substituting | humorous action for economic ar-* gument, proved the tax is a deade’ letter by assembling hundreds of indignant drivers at the gate on‘q ) a Sunday evening, with large £quads of police on hand to watch, to show officials they couldn’t collect the tax if they wanted to. The drivers threw away their little green slips entitling them to bring back as many gallons of gas as they took out. They de- manded the officials accept pay-* ment on the gas with which they returned. It would have taken gy a dozen men many hours to meas. ure the gas and collect the tax, s0 on orders from high officials they waved the drivers away and refused to collect the tax. .
