PAGE 4 One of the most amazingly rapid develop- ments in a field as complex as that of transporta- tion in a large city that Seattle ever saw, is the growth of the jitney bus business in the last week. There is a virility about it that challenges attention. As matters stand, there are now two possible courses for the autobus men. ‘ One is for them to continue running the in- dustry in the haphazard form it assumed overnight. Thus managed, it will furnish work for a considerable number of men otherwise unemployed. Unless considerable more development takes place, few-of the street railway employes will be thrown out of work. The curtailment, if curtailment there is to be, will come rather in some Boston stockholder’s dividends. That is, unless the Electric Co. decides to discharge a hundred or so carmen as a carefully staged “warning.” Thus managed, too it'll supply a good many Seattleites quick, pleasant transportation in place of tides in stuffy cars, tediously slow and crammed "TANK You, MR, JONES” *THaT FeLuow Jones 18 ALL RIGHT IN HIS way MISS Diana, BUT He’ CAN'T SKATE TSE“HEE, You _ ARG 30 WONDER: vy MR.

They should emblazon “public service” on their stationery, make them their trademark and motto, and their guiding principle, To this end they should seriously undertake to work out a transfer system, to perfect schedules which shall be religiously followed, to safeguard their passengers, and to carry people just as cheer- fully on the long hauls as on the short, and part loads in the quiet hours as cheerfully as full loads during the day’s peak. with straphangers. Under the first plan a limited number will skim the cream of the city’s transportation business—for a short time, merely until people get tired of it.

A.” applies to the ghastly murderousness of modern warfare, as now waged by the warring powers of Europe. Take the sinister submarine, for instance The first practical submarine torpedo boat was built by Capt. David Bushnell of the American revolutionary forces. He built {t in 1775, A certain Sergt. Lee manned it, propelled it by hand, and actually drove the strange, egg-shaped tub under the] bull of a British warship—the Eagle—anchored tn New York harbor! The attack failed to result in blowing up the ship only because a screw with which Lee tried to fasten the primitive torpedo to the Eagle's wooden bottom proved too dull to hold! It was not till the civil war, however, that torpedoes came into serious use. Torpedoes fired by the rebels resulted in the destruc- tion of 30 federal warships The machine gun, probably the most terrible of the death ‘deal. ers now in use, also is a “Made-in-America” invention, The Gatling gun, invented by Dr. R. J, Gatling of Indianapolis, in 1861, was the first machine gun to be used in war. The magazine rifle, likewise, with which all the armies at the front are equipped today, was first brought to practical use in the United States, when a development of the Krag-Jorgensen was adopted by an army board in 1892, Among many other American inventions which haye completel® revolutionized war as now played in Europe are the aeroplane, the telephone and telegraph, absolutely indispensable to the general staff of each army, and, finally, barbed wire, which, strung {ato en- tanglements, {s perhaps the most potent factor in converting the y t European battles into the hitherto unparalleled siege war- from entrenchment far Spinning’s Specials 10¢ Box Piicher's Detachable Bachelor Buttons ..................5¢ Only takes a minute to put on or take off.
