PEDESTRIANS WILL BE WELLGUARDED Chicago Plans a System That Ought to Facilitate Motor Movement.

. Capt. C. C. Healy of the Chicago mounted police plana to put In operation In Chicago a plan for the comrol of pedestrians at street intersections. The congested loop district is made almost impassable for autoaioMlists not alone by the heavy traffic, but also by the way In which pedostrians impede travel when the whistle has blown to make it proper for automobiles to move. "It has always been my hobby, this matter of controlling he pedestrians the same as we da drivers of vehicles" says the captain, "and it looks as if we would attempt it in Chicago before the summer is over. Shortly there will be introduced into the Council a bill which will give the police power to make arrests if pedestrians do not mind the whistle at the crossings. With that power given us I venture to say that inside three months we will greatly improve the service inside the loop. "Of course it is going to be hard at first, for the people hardly will understand such a law. But with the police standing firm and making arrests where arrests are necessary I see no reason why we could not be in command of the situation inside three months at the outside. ' " "Chicagoans hardly realize just what the police have done inside the loop since we undertook to handle the vehicle traffic and make it answerable to our whistle. We had a couple of prominent Englishmen in the city the other day and I was asked to illustrate our system, that, controlling the ebb and flow of traffice by means of the whistle. 1 chose two of my busiest corners, State and Madison and Randolph and Dearborn. Purposely I called the officers from their posts and left the vehicles and pedestrians with a loose rein. Inside six minutes we had the traffic at Madison and State tied up so tight that a dog would have had hard work crossing the street. This simply showed the benefits of the system. "We have things running pretty smoothly now controlling only the vehicles, but if we can make the pedestrians heed the whistle the same way our efficiency will be increased 100 per cent. Drivers of automobiles will appreciate what that would mean. As it is now, when the motorists" get the whistle to go ahead they lose many valuable seconds dodging the pedestrians who invade the right of way of the vehicle. All this ought to be changed and I am going to do all I can to help it along. I think it is the right track. "Another thing the police intend taking up is enforcing the rules of the road. We are going to see that slow moving vehicles keep close to the curb, that when a vehicle stops that its right wheele are alongside the curb, that there is no turning in the raolddle of the block and that there is no cutting corners." At the conference at the City club last week this idea was brought up by F, H. Elliott, the representative of the Touring club of America, and met with the approval of the conferees. They thought it would be a good thing to have in operation in New York, where although there is no loop district, there are many points where such regulation is desirable and necessary. , In some foreign cities stringent regulations forbid pedestrians being in roadways at points other than the street crossings. In fact if pedestrians come to harm in the roadway other than at a crossing they are likely to be prosecuted for being where they should not have been. Such strictness as all this doesn't obtain anywhere in this country and the understanding is that the highWOMEN SHOULD BE PROTECTED Against So Many Surgical Operations. HowMrs.Bethune and Mrs. Moore Escaped. Sikeston, Mo. "For seven years Isuffour time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk.

However, it would help a great deal if pedestrians made it a point to cross only at street intersections and then also only when specifically signalled by the police authority at' the point. The experience of the Chicagoan in finding trafic all tied up because the police were absent wouldn't be duplicated here. In the early mornings, before the traffice police get to work, truckman and motorists automatically keep things moving well, even though there is no one there to order and the intersection may be crowded and busy. Why He Was Late. "What made you eo late?" "I met Smithson." "Well, that is no reason why you should be an hour late getting home to supper." "I know, but I asked him how he was feeling, and he insisted on telling me about his stomach trouble." "Did you tell him to take Chamberlain's Tablets?" "Sure, that is what he needs."

Albert Schuman, the German wizard, has brought his wonderful trained horses to America. They will be seen in Richmond as one of the trained animal features of Ringling Brothers' circus which exhibits here on Tuesday, May 7. Among the achievements of all the animal trainers that have ever lived here is the best of all. Not another act of the kind will bear comparison with it. Albert Schuman is known to be the greatest trainer of horses in the world. His establishments at Berlin, Frankfort and Scheveningen are world famous. Tourists travel there from afar to see the wonderful performances, which, until the enterprise of the Ringling Brothers invaded his amusement palaces, could be seen nowhere else on earth. Schuman has made many million dollars training and exhibiting horses, in this act is found his master achievement. Another thriller is presented by the Ty-Bell sisters, three in number. They are offering what is called "The Human Butterfly Act." Dressed as butterflies with wings of spun glass they mount to the dome or the tent by means of steel wires to the ends of which they hold by the teeth. While high above the heads of spectators they are made to rapidly revolve while electric spot lights cast radiant colors upon them. The beauty of the spectacle is beyond the scope of words, and its danger never fails to thrill beholders. Carlos Caesaro, another importation, presents a striking novelty. Caesaro is known as "The Human Top." He places a steel plate on his head. -A man mounts it and it is set to spinning at the rate of 300 revolutions per minute. He also throws twenty-Sve-pound cannon balls high in the air and catches them on his bare head. Joseph La Fleur, a Frenchman adds to the thrilra by diving backwards from the top of a lofty-ladder.

ard, are other artists that give the show class. Field Minstrels. Baseball is the one clean sport of this country, the whole people keenly appreciate this fact. Just a little sus picion was thrown over the manner in which the tickets were handled for the world's series. Every newspaper and every fan felt called upon to resent even the imputation of unfairness even in the business end of the game. The mit and bat are laid away for the winter. Umpire and player are resting up for next season's strenuous strivings, but the fan is ever on the alert for anything pertaining to the game. When the big stage picture of Forbes Field is spread before the eyes of the fans in the audiences of the Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels, their thoughts go to the diamond and each favorite player as he passes in review is received with the same favor accorded them on the field. The Cubs, Athletics, Giants, Pirates and all share in the generous greeting. Some of the characters as impersonated, by the minstrel men are striking likenesses of the originals. This if particularly true of those who impersonate Honus Wagner, Tyrus Cobb, Frank Chance, and Eddie Collins, of the Athletics. Tom Lynch and Ban Johnson are not overlooked. The production is not only striking but most amusing. The burlesque ball game is so ridiculously funny that it completely upsets the audience. The Greater Minstrels, under the f personal leadership of Al. G. Field, have been accorded the highest possible honors in so far as press criticism and attendance records go. The production is pronounced not only the best minstrel show on the stage today but about the best that was ever on tour. At The Murray. After the excellent bill of last week it would seem almost impossible to get another one as good but Manager Murray has been most fortunate in securing a show which compares most favorably with the last one. Sully & Lassen comedy tilt boartfa acrobats, are the headliners and as acrobata would be hard to beat. They have plenty of good lively comedy in the act, while their acrobatic feats are most marvelous. The Pumpkin colored trio is composed of Messrs. Henry Saparr and Mr. Sid Perrin, the famous composers and stars of their own production in addition to Miss Goldle Crosby the soubrette who made the English theater goers sit up and take notice.

My physician, one of the leading practitioners, said that it was lung trouble. I took eggs and milk in quantities, but I got very weak, and I kept on worktng in the store. The doctors said I would not gain in weight as long as I stayed in the store, but I kept on working and prayed each day that I might get well. I believe my prayers were answered, for Mr. C. A. Lippincott. my employer (I.ippincott & Co.. Department Store. 306 to 314 Market street, Wilmington. Del.), had learned of a remedy called Eckman's Alterative that had done great good, and upon his recommendation 1 began taking it at once. This was about June, 1908. I continued faithfully, usiig no other remedy, and finally noticed the clearing of the lungs, which appeared to be old chunks of blood coming up. I now have no trouble with my lungs. 1 firmly believe Eckman's Alterative saved ray life. 1 sent my spittle later to the State Board of Health to be examined for tuberculosis bacilli, and none were found. "My mother died from Consumption when I was about two years old. "I make this statement so that others may learn of the wonderful merits of Kckman's Alterative.

WESTCOTT COMPANY TO ENLARGE PLANT Talking on the automobile business in this city and state, Lee Ashley, general manager of the Westcott Motor Car company, in an interview, declared that beyond a doubt the automobile business is becoming more and more a season business each year. Mr. Ashley clearly outlines the automobile future, stating that the business will soon begin to settle down into tahe hands of manufacturers who build good cars and create a reputation for such. An essential for such a reputation, Mr. Ashley says, is that the manufacturers be able to operate their plants during the winter months, giving a sufficent supply of finished cars to take care of their first spring deliveries. In order to place the Westcott on such a basis the Westcott Motor Car company is preparing to erect a new building, adjoining the west end of the plant, at the close of the season's business next fall. The new building is to be 125 by 70 and will be of brick. The building will be steam heated. Finished cars can be kept in good shape during the winter months. "The Westcott Motor Car company has doubled its business in the last twelve months and the new addition to the factory will give employment to an additional number of men," said Mr. Ashley. "The factory is now running until 9 o'clock at night and we are from 65 to 100 orders behind." fS V. " BONDS AND STOCKS with savings, making partial pav 2 ments.

The Theaters

AT THE MURRAY. "The Governor Pro Tem," the sketch at the vaudeville this week, has theatric possibilities. A good plot, but not carefully work ed out, so that the nebulous final leaves the audience in some doubt as to it raison d etre. The story is that of the usual stage burglar prowling about at night, this time in the house of the governor d the state, his discovery of compromising papers in the latter's possession and of a petition to pardon one John Brooks, who turns out later tc have been the husband of the burglar's deserted wife, the burglar gag ing the governor, pushing him into another room and disguising himself as the latter when people are heard outside seeking an entrance. How he signs the Brooks pardon after his former wife, who has come to beg for the governor's signature tc the petition, should be the climax o! the play. The feminine member of the company is the most convincing dramatically and commands admiration for her restraint in makeup. She does a clever bit of acting. A singer and rapid fire artist with paper and color opens the bill acceptably, and some skillful acrobats closed it on Monday afternoon. The Pumpkin Colored Trio, three colored young persons, have a diverting act, given with all that verve peculiar to their race and which invariiably "carries over." Essentially dramatic and with that imitative drollery inherent in the Negro, the latter in theatrics of this character is almost always amusing. E. G. W. VOOL WANTED.

The emblem Is a pun. A poll is a bead. The verb "poll" means to lop off a head. The earliest barbers were removers of beards. "Barba" is Latin for beard. The French called a man who shears off beards a barbier. But the barbier also removed hair from the apex and adjoining regions of the head. With the modesty characteristic of many professional men he magnified his function and adopted for his emblem a device which taken in its fullest significance would Indicate that be removed the entire head. Because "poll" is pronounced the same as "pole" he conceived that a pole would be the appropriate emblem of his profession. New York Sun.

Denver has the reputation among eastern hotel men of being the one clean city in America. Why? Because, they say, a man can put on a clean collar in the morning there and wear it all day and still look neat. Some of them even insist that a collar can even be morn two days with decency. In other big cities, they say, a man has to change his collar once, twice, three and four times in order not to appear slovenly. Chicago is known as a four collar city, St Louis as a threecollar City. New York is a five-collar and three-shirt city.
