CITY TRACTION OFFICIAL SEES BRIGHT FUTURE Joseph A, McGowan Speaks at Electric Railway Meeting. By Times Special CEDAR POINT, Ohio, July 18.— Middle western traction lines handled a quarter of a billion passengers and five millions of freight in the past twelve months, according to Joseph A. McGowan, treasurer of the Indianapolis Strret Railway and the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Cos., before the Central Electric Railway Association today. McGowan declared the electric tractions fill a necessary and important position in the traffic world. “Better Times Ahead” “What of their future?” he asked. “Those who have studied this problem arejfconvineed that they have passed their crucial period and that better times are ahead. Rubber tires can never supersede steel rails in the carrying of passengers and freight. Rival methods of transportation may last for a while, but they can never supplant interurban railways. Whenever it is found advisable to use busses as an adjunct to interurban lines they should be owned and controlled by Interurban railway companies and not by independent competing bus lines.” Improvement Urged McGowan reviewed the development of interurban freight service in Indiana, emphasizing the in%)ortance of the new live stock shipping plan which is proving a boon to farmers and stock dealers. This development. he said, was responsible for the building of a freight terminal In Indianapolis covering eleven acres which will have two freight houses, each a thousand feet long. He urged traction executives to improve facilities in every possible way, and to acquaint the public with the advantages of traction travel and shipment by the liberal use of newspaper advertising.

m SUPPOSE that the same quality of imagination whicl. lifts me above the rest of those whom society is pleased to cal' outlaws, is responsible for thf feeling of indigration which possesses me when I look upon any brutality. I am not matter-of-fact: 1 am an artist. And the artist, more keenl; in tune with what-ought-to-be than the material-minded man of business, resents any imperfection, whether it be of the body or of the spirit. And here were both! The hunchback. imperfect of body—and the superstitious lout, imperfect of spirit, who stroked the hump. They were standing on the curb, at the corner of Fifty-Ninth St. and Fifth Ave., waiting for a break in traffic which would permit them to cross the street. I was doing the same thing. I had walked from the snug little apartment, which at the moment I was maintaining on Central Park West, across town on my way to attend an auction, on Madison Ave. It was a balmy spring day, the sort of morning which after a blustery March revives one’s faith in the miracles of Nature. Exactly as a pretty girl revives one’s faith! I admit that my faith had been revived several times this morning. It seemed to me that all the lovely girls of the universe had been placed in Central Park and on the avenue this morning, to tantalize me with thoughts of what might have been. I, who hated the world, lcved it this morning Yet it was the hopeless love of one who knows that the simple joys are denied to him. I felt a moisture welling beneath my lids: my eyes were filmy. Then I laughed it my sentimentality. I had made my choice mr.nth3 ago when, after years of desperate struggle along the paths of honesty, I had given up the unequal battle and become one of :hose who prey. Suffice it that no young girl would ever be harmed by me—and even knowing me might some day cause

her irreparable damage. As I have said in one of my previous memoirs, like Kipling's cat, I walk alone. So, because I was In a softened mood, as well as because I am an artist and a gentleman, I felt a surge of pity for the hunchback, and a surge of wrath against the man who stood beside him. For this latter person rubbed the cripple's hump. Oddly enough, although the lout seemed none too gentle, the cripple bid not resent the action. Perhaps, poor devil, he had become so used to the brutalities of his fellows that his spirit had lost its powers of resentment. A year or so ago, when I had been crushed by the brutalities of life, I would have felt no indignation at such a sight. I had then been unable to become angry at indignities heaped upon myself. Moralists would tell you that I had since lost my soul, but I tell you that I had found it. A year ago, an honest man, I would have sneered cynically; today, a thief, I took the lout by the collar and threw him across the sidewalk. The north and southbound traffic halted as the lights flickered op the tower down the avenue; the policeman blew his whistle and waved the pedestrians to pass over. It was an opportunity, and as my bewildered victim climbed unsteadily to his feet, muttering threats, I merged with the human tide and gained the doors of a hotel across the street, slipped through its reception rooms and came out upon Fifty-Ninth St., certain that I had avoided pursuit, and not worrying about future recognition. As for the hunchback, he had not glanced my way. By extreme caution I eliminate accidents. Before I entered the auction rooms which were my destination, I glanced over my shoulder to make certain that no offensively right-minded person was guiding upon my trail the man whom I had knocked down. If a policeman intervened in a street brawl in which I was concerned, it is conceivable that I might be asked my means of live-

lihood, a question of obvious embarrassment. So I entered the auction-rooms, and took a chair in the rear. Half an hour passed before I made a bid, and then I offered SSO for a mediocre tapestry- I acquired It at SBS, gave a check to the attendant, ordered the thing sent to my apartment. and settled back In my chair to watch the rest of the proceedings. I do not think it advisable that I should be merely a spectator at auctions; a connoisseur, even though in a small way, achieves an instant standing. And my acquisition of the tapestry proved that I had fair taste along with probably modest means.

I THREW THE LOUT ACROSS THE SIDEWALK. Os course I had not come here solely to purchase. Indeed, the tapestry would hardly conform to the color-scheme of my rooms. Once again I felt the sentiment of springtime. I wanted a home, permanence. I wanted a place where I could put things that I had acquired for the joy of acquisition, and because they belonged in that home. Deliberately I dismissed the dangerous thoughts. No man can be a success in business if he devotes his office hours to sentimental moonings; these were my office hours, and I was here on business. For where in the world is one more likely to have opportunity to see and study those possessed of wealth than in an auction-room where articles of tremendous value are put upon the block? And the Internationa] Auction Company catered to a clientele of millionaires. Such bargains as my bit of tapestry only occurred when they were minor parts of a great collection.

Nearly everything else was priced in the thousands, and did not interest mo. although occasionally I noted the names and addresses of the purchasers. And then came the Gerald jewel-boxj Gerald was a multimiljlionairc of vulgar antecedents and | taste who had died a few years ago. | Six months later, his widow had folj lowed him, and they had left heirs ! who chose to rid themsejves of the i miscellaneous collection which the Geralds had acquired. T could not | blame the heirs, for most of the I Gerald possessions were more suited |to the walls or cabinets of a museum than to a private home. And when the auctioneer held up a golden box, studded with jewels, I felt embarrassment for him, compelled as he was to declare that this article was a work of art. It was about nine inches long, six inches wide and four inches deep and workmanship, oven a high degree of era ft man ship, had been expended upon it. But the thing was too gorgeous. too flamboyant, and one readily believed the auctioneer’s statement that the late Mr. Joseph Gerald had himself superintended the designing and the manufacture of the box. One also believed without hesitation that it had cost the multimillionaire over ninety thousand dollars. Certainly the precious stones that studded it wore worth at least fifty thousand. But the very idea that had given birth to the box was vulgar. It had been intended to be the receptable for certain jewels of Gerald’s wife. The thing angered me. Artists in precious metal had been debauched by Gerald’s money and forced to prostitute their gifts for beauty in order to gratify a millionarie’s vulgar whim. I wondered that anyone save a dealer in gold and jewels who proposed to buy the thing for its intrinsic value should bid upon it. But Gerald’s death had not rid the world of vulgarity. Die bidding opened at ten thousand dollars, and progressed rapidly to twenty-five thousand, confined to men whom I intuitively knew were dealers. Then another man took a hand. His clothing alone stamped him for what he was, a newly enriched vulgarian. For his coat was cut in the extreme of Broadway fashion; his neckwear was an offense to a gentleman, and the solitaire diamond taht gleamed from its silken folds must have weighed a dozen carats. He had not been born to money; long acquaintance with it would have inculcated in him a few, at least, of the fundamentals of correct attire. His nose was a mere blob, piglike. His eyes, peeping over rolls of fat, were also porcine. His forehead slanted back, and his heavy

jaws and jutting chins made him ani-mal-like. Another of the filthy profiteers who had grown fat upon the suffering of the world! Another of those persons who had risen from the depths during civilization’s great convulsion. I could picture the wife of this man; as loathsome as himself, doubtless. Also I could picture the priceless jewelry that would go into that box. For if a man would give .$65,000 —it was knocked down to him at that price—for a place in which to put his jewels, what were the jewels themselves worth? The mere thought made me dizzy. If I could get my hands upon that box when it was filled, the fancies that spring had put into my mind today might be possible to me. One of those young girls whose eyes had seemed inviting on the Avenue today “Sold to Mr. Marcus Anderson,” said the auctioneer. Slumped down in my chair, fuming with hatred toward Anderson. I straightened up when I heard his name. For there were few people who had not heard of Anderson. He was supposed to have become, during the war, one of the richest men in the world. My appraisal of him had been absolutely correct, and my vanity was tickled that.

AMERICAN PHYSICIANS ENDORSE FRENCH SCIENTIST DISCOVERY Efiß REDUCING FAT DR. J. J. RUDOLPH, Former Health Commissioner Considers “SA N- GRI-NA ’ 1 a Remarkable and Safe Help for FAT PEOPLE. Up to now, reducing bad been an almost unzolvable problem, ft was either a question of losing a lew pounds and rain your health with dangerous drugs or remain fat. To-day a French physician of unquestionable reputation has to his credit a discovery called “SAN-GRI-NA,” which quickly does away with most obstinate cases of obesity and at the same time improves the health and appearance and rejuvenates the entire system. “I consider 'SAN-GRI-NA' not only a remarkable fat reducer," says Dr. Rudolph, former health commissioner, but I advise it as a general tonic and health-builder for fat people." Physicians have used “SAN-GRI-NA" themselves, and have prescribed it to their immediate family and patients, thus proving that it is absolutely harmless and effective. “SAN-GRI-NA” is a small tablet which should be taken three times a day. It does not contain any dangerous drugs, and has been used by the discoverer In his own practice with most remarkable success. It is now recommended and sold in America, by reliable druggists only, with guarantee of satisfaction or money refunded. "SAN-GRI-NA” does not reduce fat people over night. There is no miracle about it. It is a safe, gradual loss of flesh which varies from A to 6 pounds a week, leaving the patient stronger and healthier with every pound of fat lost. No flabby tissues or wrinkles will follow the use of “SAN-GRI-NA.” NOTE— Since “SAN-GRI-NA” has been introduced in America, It has cset-ted such a sensation that imitations cannot be avoided. If you want results, make sure that YOU ASK AND GET “SAN-GRI-NA.”- '- rV San-Grl-Na is now on sale at Haag's, Hook's or Goldsmith Bros.’ Drug Stores. '' ■■■ t lX'Pt*f ibpyh^ nt

even in so slight a matter, I had not erred. I watched him go to a desk and write a check. My eyes followed him as he came down the aisle and passed through the door.
