in Derlin that it was not begun soon

army authorities asked me if i could
make a very cheap aeroplane, with

ing about four hours, which could
be steered through the air by wire

ach one of these aeroplanes with a ,
huge bomb, aind sind them into the :

"The German Idea was that it was1
a tremendous waste to send shells ;
through th air by means of xplo- .

explosives into shells and then move ;
the shells to their destination by
gasoline power. They had really hs; .
faith in the use of big guns. The
Itig Bertha which fired shells 7"
miles cn to Paris was proh.ibly part

For Tuedar at
We have, pointed out in a large way the obvious advantages of the
one man street car with automatic equipment, ten of which will he
received brand new from the factory and placed in operation on South
Bend's streets earlv in November.
Although these cars do accomplish a wonderful saving in platform
man power and in fuel, this saving is not the only reason why they
carry only one operative each.
A second man on each car would be entirely superfluous.
The safety equipment of the car is a combination oi air brakes, air
operated doors, air sanders and the dead man's handle of the automatic
controller.
These equipments so interact automatically that:
1. The doors will not open until car has come to a full stop.
2. The car will not start until the doors are closed.
3. ' The power will go off, the brakes will apply instantaneously,
and the tracks will be sanded the moment the operator of a moving
car fails to bear down on the controller handle of the dead man type.
There are more than 1,201) of these cars in use in various parts of
the United States.
Nearly always they are making better, faster schedules than the twi -
man cars which they replaced.
In the few cases where the schedules of the new cars are slower, the
reason can always be found in the negligence of people who have
failed to provide themselves with the exact fare.
The car is idle while the operator is making change.
When you ask the operator to count coins, you not only delay your
self, but every other patron of the car.
In a great majority of cases, people have found it no inconvenience
to provide themselves with the exact change.
With your co-operation in this matter we will provide the best
street car service South Bend ever has known and service as good as
any city of equal size.
