LOUIS HANSON. Proprietor”’
War Was Cheap if You
Believe Money Experts
It cost Mr, American Citizeli just■
thirty-three and one half cents a day
to wage the war.
This is what the statisticians of the
Treasury Department at Washington
figure the coat of the war to be for
each man. ■woman and child in the i
United States, and from that they
deduct that the individual in this coun
try had an easy time of it in financing
this country's part in the great world
struggle.
As nearly as can be estimated the
total cost of the war in money to the j
American people from the declaration
of hostilities April 6. 1917, until the
signing of rhe armistice November 11.
1918, amounted to twenty-sis billion
dollars. The Census Bureau on Janu
ary 1. 1919. set the population of |
the United States at approximately •
104.090.000 people. Prom April 6. 1917.:
until November 11. 1919, 640 days.i
The Treasury experts made two simple!
divisions and found — America paid
thirty-three and one half cents per
capita per day for the war.
The twenty six billion dollars used
in the estimate of the cost of the war
included the amount to be raised bv
the Victory Loan. This final loan it j
was pointed out by the government:
officials will go in large part to paying
for supplies ordered for the army j
before the cessation of hostilities aid i
for the expense of demobilizing our;
wartime military forces, both of which |
must be counted as war expenses..
TO BUILD DWELLINGS FOR
WORKERS IN SILK MILLS
Manchester. Conn., which is a silk
manufacturing town, has a plan to
erect 400 houses for workers, accord-1
ing to reports sent to the United I
States Department of Labor. The |
Bristol Realty Co., which is promoting;
this project, will provide easy-pay j
me-nt terms, so that it will be possible !
for wage earners to owntheir own
homes. Forty two bungalows and two
model tenements also will be erected
in Manchester.

“ NO MORE PYRENEES ”
News comes that the international
Pyrenean tunnel between France and
Spain is finished. When Franco and
Spain agreed, thirty-seven years ago,
that two railway routes should bo car
rted over the mountain wall, one by
way of* an international tunnel, the
War Minister in each country pro
tested against the proposal.
This new ttndertaking will open up
communication between the valley of
the great Spanish River Ebro and the
French Midi and part of Central
France. At the French terminus the
line through the tunnel will connect
with the railway of the Ariege Valiev
from Ax to Toulouse. A station upon
this line is Tarascon. the home of A1
phonse Daudet's delightful Tartarin.
As a tributary of the Garonne, the
Ariege gives access to the valley of
that river at tho head of whose sea
like estuary stands the great port of
Bordeaux.
Perhaps since "there are no more
Pyrenees.” we may 'be able to add
“there are no more Dover Straits,”
and. Londoners may take the train at
Charing Cross and roll into tho valley j
of the Spanish Ebro without change of j
cars.—Boston Herald.
I rackless trolley tars
The idea of operating trolley cars
without iron or steel rails is not en
tirely new. It has for some time been
known that large and comfortable au-!
tomobiles can be propelled by electri-'
city over the surface of improved
modern highways.
It has, though remained for the town i
of Weymouth. Mass., to establish a
commercial system and compete suc
cessfully with ordinary standard svs
terns. It is explained that the enter
prise is hv no means a jitney-service.
The power is furnished through' two
trolley wires which may be connected
with any private or municipal electric
plant. Under these conditions the de
lay in cars meeting on a single track
is eliminated. The cars are lighted,
and heated by electricity supplied di
rectly from rhe trolley wires. They i
are equipped with solid rubber tires: |
or. if desirable, ordinary pneumatic \
tires may be utilized. As the cost of
laying and maintaining metal tracks'
is eliminated, the low cost or upkeep,
and overhead charges makes, it is;
claimed, possible to charge only usual
price for the service.
It is said that many Massachusetts
towns in which a highly capitalized
corporation could operate only at a;
loss can now avail themselves of anj
adequate electric trolley service. —Ro-1
Chester Democrat and Chronicle.
AIRPLANES FOR COMMERCE
South African authorities, according
to Vice Consul Charles J. Pisar at
Cape Town, are making a bid to obtain j
some of the many airplanes in England h
now released from war work for use j
in a commercial way. Considerable at-,
tention is given to the establishment
of au air service, both passenger and
mail, to the more remote centres whch
are without adequate railroad facili
ties, and to the establishment of a fast
mail service between the prinicpal
cities of Cape Town, Johannesburg,:
Durban, Port Elizabeth, etc.
Three pioneering parties are now •
picking out lauding places and gaso-j
line stations, preparatory to the pro
posed flight from London to Cape
Town. The landing places will be
400 miles apart and the machines will
travel about 100 miles an hour. The
route will take in Paris. Marseilles,
Rome, Crete. Alexandria, and thence
’down the African Continent by points;
not yet established to Broken Hill,
Rhodesia. Between Broken Hill and
Cape Town, the intervening points will
~be Victoria Falls. Pretoria, Bloemfon
tein, and Beaufort West. Handley
Page machines, capable of carrying a
crew of seven and thirty passengers
Are to be used, and it is expected the
trip will he done infive or six days,
whereas the ocean mail service now
takes eighteen.
