The Illustration shows how It would appear if constructed high above the streets, running from one skyscraper to the next and on glass- covered bridges across, the open spaces. As Indicated by the name, It Is an arrangement of two vehicles, continuous trains or belts of cars running run-ning on parallel trtfcks with a stationary loading platform plat-form along its entire course. Passengers are not required to go to stated stations 'They can boara the first or local train at any point and It stops every 50 seconds for 10 seconds.- The maximum wait is 40 seconds. When a gong sounds, gates close and the local platform starts moving. When It attains a speed of 17 miles an hour, the second sec-ond or limited train has slowed to exactly that speed. over his. face and nose. After a while he felt sure' that no one was following him, and then he began to think of other things. In the first place he ached from the bumps he had received when he dropped out of that tree. He had been too frightened to feel them at the tlmef but he felt them now. But worse than that there were the stings from the bees. He hadn't minded these while he was filling his stomach with that dell- "Oh, Dear! -Oh, Dear Mel I Almost With I Had Never Found That Honey," Groaned Buster. Ing thing there. A Merry Little Breeze wandering through the tree-tops tree-tops brought him the sound of Sammy Jay's voice. It was very faint, but It was enough to make Buster growl n- deep rumbly-grum-bly growl. Sammy Jay was laughs Ing, and Buster knew perfectly well why. Sammy was laughing at him, at the way he had dropped out of that tree and ran at the sound of Farmer Brown's Boy's yell. " It hurt Buster's pride, for Buster Is no more fond of being laughed at than any one else.. The Merry , Little Breeze passed on and Buster heard nothing more, though he listened and listened with all his might He tried to use his nose to find out if there was clous honey, but he did now.

I almost wish I had never found that honey," groanedr Buster. 'Tjt wouldn't be so bad if I had got all of it (Buster is very greedy), but to be cheated out of half of it, and then have to ache and smart the way I do Is dreadful. I can't stand this much longer. I've got to do something. I've got to find some mud, and I've got to find It soon. I'll go crazy If I don't There's nothing like good cool mud to take the smart out of bee stings, .

Now Farmer Brown's Boy's one thought when he yelled and fan was to get away from those bees as soon as possible, '. At the" moment he quite forgot Buster Bear. He heard thecrash of breaking branches-as Buster dropped out of the tree, and then he beard Buster crashing his way through the Green Forest as he ran away, but he was too busy fighting fight-ing angry bees to realize what it all meant. Later he did. and chuckled as he thought of what a fright Buster must have had. The bees did not follow him far, and pretty soon, quite out of breath.

SOME BRAN DISHES TPHE value of uncooked bran as a laxative food is so well known that It need not be mentloned'here. Uncooked, unsweetened bran may be used In combination with any foods to add roughage to the diet One must know of course that all people cannot use Irritating roughage, rough-age, but the majority of people need all kinds to cleanse the alimentary canal, aid digestion and further elimination. When .one objects to taking a tablespoonful or two- of bran In a glass of waier, add it to the cereal, or make some of these dishes : Bran Muffins.

Butter should always be served with chopped or broken Ice and most conveniently In a butter dish made with a perforated tray for the butter so that the water melted from the Ice may be drained to the bottom of the dish. Orange Juice or grapefruit juice Is most appetizing If served in a small straight-sided glass set in a glass bowl of shaved or chopped Ice and halves of grapefruit may also be served set In beds of Ice. Well chilled melons do not need to be served with ice and many persons per-sons prefer the flavor when served without it Instead of placing ice directly on the melon sections it Is a good plan to pass or place on the table a large bowl of chopped ice EVEN LAWYERS By DOUGLAS MALLOCH need this boy of mine, And lawyers can pull weeds as well as preachers can.

In turn we find him called a hero, a coward, a politician, an old scallawag, and the finest type of Indian. The times v V,J , 1 ,,U I.

The year of his birth in South Dakota,, Da-kota,, 1834, is almost a hundred years ago. South Dakota was a wild . country then, inhabited by Sioux, who fought the other plains tribes Incessantly. The Shoshonl and ' the Crows knew the valor of this tribe, and as time went on, young Sitting Bull became noted far and near as a warrior of the Sioux, " . Certalnlyhls youth was noMhat of a coward. He distinguished himself him-self In hunting buffalo calves at the age of ten, and at fourteen he had gone with his father on the warpath and counted his first coup. Coupsnre counted In three way sr killing an enemy, scalping an enemy", or being the first to strike an enemy. As he grew older, Sitting Bull was often, consulted in the role of peacemaker. peace-maker. He, a leader in war, was also foremost in peace ; but this did not extend to the white men. For them, Sitting Bull always had a sense of disdain and hatred. It shows in his picture, glaring out I from his Indian eyes; it showed most and always in his life. His first Important .engagement against the whites was at Fort Bu-ford Bu-ford in 1808. . The next three years found Indians from various tribes flocking to his standard. Then came seven years on the warpath, when the band was never at a? loss for a fight;- there were frontier posts to swoop upon, Shoshonl to battle with, or Crows to rald.- Then the seven years of Joyous warfare came to. ah end. The government gov-ernment stepped In. This was no The a'r'-friend says when love flies out of the window It's because it wasn't screened properly. (. 1982. Bell Syndicate.)

Iced tea is said to be most refreshing re-freshing when the hot tea Is poured directly on chopped ice in the individual in-dividual glass. When it is to be made at the table in this way there should be a bowl of finely chopped ice from which the. glasses maybe filled before the hot tea Is poured. Ice tongs of a collapsing variety are useful for lifting small pieces of Ice from a glass ice bowl to the Individual glasses, or for using on a picnic to move Ice taken along to keep things cool. These are interesting inter-esting devices that can be opened In two ways, one for the larger chunks of ice, and one for the smaller pieces such as one has in an ice bowl on the table or refreshment refresh-ment tray.

The award was made at the annual meer Ing of the United States Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco, longer an Indian - land,, where the red man might do as he liked. Peace was the word "of the day, and peaceful Indians went on reservations reserva-tions and behaved themselves. Yes, but Sitting Bull was not a peaceful Indian! The battle of the Little Big Horn, where Custer and his men fell, Is ofl course the most famous engage ment in which Sitting Bull Is named. Here one may always start an argument ar-gument about him. Was he a coward? He Is said to have fled with the women and children chil-dren on that eventful day. Or was he the mighty medicine man who stayed In the hills and prayed for his people, although his heart inclined to the thick of battle? Who can tell? Gall and John Grass fought bravelyr trained In the same school which had taught Sitting Bull the lessons of war. Many other Indian warriors fought bravely also. Is it believable that he, who had spent the last ten years on the warpath had fled from the handful of white men especially when he had already al-ready predicted the Indian victory. But with General Miles hot on his heels afterwards, no one can blame him for escaping into Canada. General Miles was another sort of enemy, with anuncanny jnanner of achieving his ends In the face of all sorts of opposition. , The year 1881 saw the return of Sitting Bull to his own country. He had been promised amnesty, and surrendered at Fort Buford, where, 15 years before, he had made his first great fight against the whites. If is almost Impossible, in describing describ-ing the Sioux leader at this time of his life, to avoid using the expression expres-sion "a caged eagle." It so exactly fits him. His fighting heart was not tamed.-even If his power was llroltA M ...

There Is something a little sad in Sitting Bull's death. The chief was of more than middle age; his eloquent elo-quent opposition was hfs xmly effective effec-tive weapon against the whites. Two troops of cavalry with -two Hotchkiss guns, and 43 trained Indian In-dian police, were sent at night to take him. They woke him where he slept and fold him to go with them, and bitter-heart that he was, he Derated De-rated them as he made his preparations. prepara-tions.
