Washington Sidelights

Bandit-Proof Mail Car Is Tried Out

WASHINGTON. — Officials of the Post Office department at Washington say the government will now proceed to equip 3,000 mail cars with the battlefield flares, riot guns, firing shields, shot spreaders and other warlike devices for the foiling of train robbers. This Is the result.of a tryout. The tittle village of Tilly Foster. 51 miles from New York, was chosen for the sham battle. There wax a huge hx-omotlve and four mall coaches. Two of the make-believe train robbers waved red lanterns. Two frantic blasts of the whistle, grinding brakes, ami the train stopped. A bandit lumped Into the engine cab Another got at the couplings which fastened the engine to Its train. Soon the engine puffed ahead along the rails, alone. Meanwhile grim faces appeared at the wire-latticed windows of the. first raail car. The 20 mail clerks therein appeared determined to guard, at all cpSts, the 1,200 pieces of “dead letter* - mail that had been stuffed into bags tor the holdup. Five bandits, with five rifles, blazed away at No. 1 mail car. Instantly, the noses of four riot guns ap[»eared from portholes in the side of the car

How Much Does Air Mail Service Save?

POPULAR imagination may be thrilled by the fact that It Is now possible to send mail from New York to San Francisco iu approximately thirty hours, but It appears that there is a hard cash argument behind the new service, an actual saving to the business of the country estimated by various authorities at from SS.(MK) to $20,000 a day. representing Interest on money transported across I the continent. Congressman M. Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania goes so far as to estimate that the new service, by saving approximately three days on the transportation of funds across the country. Increases oftr available cash reserve by $150,000,000 each day. This sum is too large, believe the statisticians of the Federal Reserve bunk of New York city, but nevertheless, they agree, the sums released run into the tens of millions. Congressman Kelly has devoted much attention to the economic side of the service, and is sponsoring a bill in congress greatly to increase its scope. His argument as to the amount of cash released by faster transportation is about like this:

Government Printing Office Big Thing

VISITORS to the capital are always Impressed by Uncle Sam’s printing office, which is the largest in the world. It is pretty complete, too; it even manufactures Its own ink. Its cost was more than $11,600,006. This printing office prints all the letterheads and other stationery user! by the government, all the hills and resolutions Introduced in congress, and virtually everything iu printed matter used by the federal government. It houses more than ’it'd linotype and monotype machines and its undertakings surpass those of any private plant In existence. In a single wear, for instance. a single branch of the government —the Department of Agriculture —was supplied with more than 30,600.000 printed pamphlets of various sorts. Every year It prints about 200,000.000 post office money order slips, nearly KiOjXIO.OOO income tux blanks and many millions of pamphlet®, circulars ami books which give to the world the results of the government’s research ■ work in the numerous fields.

Unde Sam Evacuates Santo Domingo

SANTO DOMINGO was just a financially stricken, rebellb>n-rid-den Island when the United States installed a military governorship November 29. 1916, at the request of President Jiminez. At the cost of the lives of many of her en listed marines, this country has done for the Ikiminlcnns what tt did for Cuba. Now the lust of the 1.500 marines and officials are leaving, marking the end of this country’s elght-year protectorate.

Forest Fires Recall Disaster of 1910

TIE tierce forest tires that have 1,,-eti raging this summer, especially tn California, bring to mind the national disaster of IUIO. Fourteen years ago this fall the most destructive forest fires recorded in the history of the United States were being fought in the Northwest, and northern Idaho and western Montana were the scenes of the fiercest battle* with th* -red enemy of the forests" ever fought by Uncle Sam's forest ranger*. Condition* in the West this summer are again at the highly dangerous point. At the end of July 100.000 acres of laud inside the boundaries of the national forests In California alone had been fire-swept. the worst fires ever exi»erienced this early in the season. Park rangers narrowly saved Sequoia National park. Large fire* have also burned in Washington. Oregon, Idaho. Montana. Utah. Colorado. New Mexico and Artrona. Men and equipments have been r*bllhted at strategic ' points Several thousand acres ta the vklnity of Denver, for example, have

and, rotating slowly, began belching theoretical lead tn all directions. At the same time, long sticks of calcium were thrust from other portholes and the right of way within a radius of a hundred yards became as bright as mid-day as they blazed forth. Up to the edge of the track they charged, and beneath the car, when, to their dismay, other riot guns appeared front portholes over their heads. The guns were fired directly downward, but their charges of theoretical buck shot were caught two feet from the ground, upon a conical deflector, which sent the bits of lead flying In all directions at the height of a man’s knees. In addition, the car was bomb-proof and gas-proof. That was too much for the bandits Three of their number already lay motionless beside’ the rails. The remaining two held up their hands In surrender. The third, who had held a pistol over the engineer and fireman as the locomotive was driven off, never came back. The robbery had been i foiled. Tne bandit-proof features of the i demonstration car are the result of the j holdup of a mail train near Chicago j last June and the theft of S2JXX),tMM» worth of registered matter.

In the ordinary course of banking business we have what is called the monetary “float,” that Is. checks or . other negotiable papers which are, dur- : ing transit, unavailable for use. A check intrusted to the mails at New York and going by the ordinary route 1 cannot be used as funds until five , days later, when it arrives in San Francisco. In other words, it is out of I use en route. But. if that samy check reaches San Francisco 24 to 30 hours after it has been placed in the mails at New York, the recipient has an additional three days In which to make financial turnovers with the money, a thing impossible under the old methods of transit. Inasmuch ns millions of dollars are thus transported, and it is estimated that the transportation of funds in one form or another to be distributed throughout the various in- I dustrial centers between New York i and San Francisco amounts to S3OO,- 1 OtIO.OtM) a day, if half of this cau be re- , leased by the night air mail there will I be $l5O 000.000 a day. or $-$.000,000,000 | a year, available for conducting bust- i ness that is otherwise constantly out of circulation.

there are millions upon millions of { postal cards and envelopes—in fact, there Is seemingly no end. The government printing office pub- • Ilshes, when congress is In session, what is, perhaps, the largest daily newspaper printed. On heavy days the size of this paper goes to 200 pages. It is the Congressional Record, the report of what has happened in house and senate the day before. It tells the world the official facts of the day in congress. The employees number nearly 4.000 and the annual output is about $lO.- ' 000.006 worth of printing. The pub- i lie printer gets a salary of $6,000 and the deputy public printer $4,500. Thir- > teen managers, superintendents, foremen anti the like get salaries ranging i from S&500 to $3,600. An act of congress requires all print- ' Ing. binding and bhink-book work for the government to be done at the gov- I ernment printing office, unless the joint committee on printing shall deem It emergency work which makes i it advisable to have it done elsewhere, :

W. 8. Knapp was dispatched to Santo j Domingo November 29. 1916, to act as milltnry governor and to cotnmund some 2.000 marines. He has been succeeded by Rear Admiral Thomas Snowden, Rear Admiral S. 8. Robinson | and Gen. Harry Lee.

been temporarily closed to travel. With the co-operation of the public to prevent man-caused forest fire*, which now form 81) per cent of the total, the forestland national park service* believe tl)*t they have a good chance to cope successfully with their dangerous foe and that there will not be a repetition of the 1910 disaster. Before the Hames died away that year more than 4.tK>0,000 acres of national forest land were laid waste. The timber destroyed totaled more than 6.000.000,000 board feet and the money loss for standing timber only stood at $24,000,000. A total of 78 men perished In the battle with the flames. The entire summer of 1910 was marked by droughts, in most of th* West. Then, on August 20. in northern Idaho, by a heavy wind, smoldering fires were fanned into action and swept beyond control. Within twentyfour hours there was practically a continuous fire along a battle front mors than 100 miles long. Early lr September the fire* were subdued.

Community f BuiliSng Capital Might Well Be Model for All Cities Nearly every city is ~a patchwork founded upon an accidental beginning. The city complete has not existed. In view of the rapid strides of science, trade, transportation and the enor- ■ mous increases in population—all of which this country has experienced simultaneously—the city complete cannot yet be expected, but there are enough facts about cities now in existence to form the basis for a few primitive generalizations. We at least know that the best laid-out city on earth, either of ancient or modern times, is only 228 miles from New York, and that the plan was made in 1791 by Pierre Charles I’Enfant. a French engineer, j who served in the Revolutionary ■ war. and approved by George Washington, writes Felix Isman in the Saturday Evening Post. We know that | the city of Washington began as a mere village and that it has grown to i one of the foremost cities of the world j without altering the truth of the 1 statement that it is the best laid-out I city on earth. The streets vary In width from 80 ' to 160 feet and are. on the whole, the widest streets of any city in all time. They are adorned with more than 85.000 trees, so that a bird’s-eye view of the national capital gives the impression of a beautiful park, with the roofs of buildings showing indistinctly amid a wealth of verdure. The : majestic transverse avenues form Ir--1 regular intersections with the ree- ' tangular streets, resulting in 302 1 squares and circles, comprising 407 • acres, the most important of which is the capitoi grounds. The height of buildings in both the residence and the business districts is restricted. The result has been a ‘ healthy tendency to spread out rather than to grow perpendicularly, as New York has done with such uncomfortable results for those who must spend their working days in its damp, dark, wind-spread canyons. If the city plan of Washington has not made the impression It deserves to i have had upon other municipalities, it ■ certainly has stood the test of those 1 best qualified to pass upon it—the resl- . dents of Washington. Clean Community Worth All Cost and Trouble A “clean-up” means hot water and : soap and sunshine, perhaps paint and the whitewash brush. It may mean , Inconvenience while the work is "mi.” | but It is sure to mean satisfaction I when it is done. The dark corners, the closet, the ; garret and every place where disease , germs might live should be thoroughly cleaned. It is well to plan beforehand; to systematize that time may be saved ; and effort lessened. Fresh air is better than disinfectants. Sunshine is the “blue ribbon" germ killer. I The city, town nr village needs a i “clean-up" just as much as the Inj dividual, home. Vacant lots should be \ put in order, gutters cleaned and all ’ objectionable piles of refuse removed, i , Once clean, the streets, lots , ; and all places under community con- ; trol should be kept in good condition. ■ Stagnant water c breeds mosquitoes. Mosquitoes convey malaria. Dump plies breed flies. Flies spread disease germs. Sanitary excellence means co-oper- ! I ation of the householder and ambor- ‘ ities. Pacing IVjfh Walnuts A novel plan has been pr«f>ented to ' the county supervisors and the Automobile association of San Joaquin as a means of both beautifying new Cali- ; fornta roads and paying a profit, if ■ not paying the cost of the roads. L. H. j Taylor, a walnut grower, makes the suggestion. The scheme is to plant walnut tree® on, either side nf the roadways at in- ' 1 tervals of about KM feet. The trees I are to be cared for as ordinary shade , trees, at the expense of the county. At , the end of ten years, declares Mr. Taylor, the trees ought to bear about fifty pounds of walnuts each. There are more than 256 miles of roadways al- ( ready paved, and the walnut tree® , I would occupy about the equivalent of a grove 1.36 S acres in extent. In ten years, at the average of fifty i pounds of walnuts from each tree, there would be 13,000,060 rounds of • ' these nuts, which could probably be i sold for 15 cents a pound, net. or about . ’ $195,060. and this sum would puy a | ' great part of the county’s taxes and t road upkeep. I Shrabbary ! Many home owners have thrown out shrnbs which they considered dead this spring, which would, if given the proper chance, have developed Into very hardy stock. The cold winter and late spring resulted in holding back the shrubs to a point where the majority of owners had given up all hope of their coming to life. It is well to gi'"* your shrubbery sufficient time t» come oqt of it® winter sleep, and do not condemn it, for if It comes through now it will result in much hardier stock. Beet Sugar Production When sugar first was made from , beets It took about twenty tons of beets to produce one ton of sugar.

STOMACH GAS Probably nothing embarrass one more than to.belch gas in the presence of other*. It is so ill-bred. And to say “Pardon me’’ isn’t enough, for the trouble should be corrected at its source. The normal -stomach, during digestion, generates some gas, but not enough to l-e eructed through the mouth. Bitter or foul-tasting gases often indicate gastrit trouble, bile on stomach or other digestive derangement. Belching gaa is a symptom of stomach trouble and should be heeded tt once, for even alight digestnt aihnents may develop into serious disease.
