NEW, GREATER “STREAMLINE
ERA" FORESEEN
I OVE may make the world go ’round, but not fast enough to
. satisfy science. Modern demands for speed continue to in-
crease and streamlining grows more extreme, horsepowers greater,
as science tackles the problem of making the wheels turn faster.
Now, with two World's Fairs to •
lend progress a hand and give an
impetus to travel, America is
scheduled to enter a new era of
speed and comfort in transporta-
tion. The next few years, trans-
portation men believe, will surpass
anything we have seen yet in
streamlined efficiency.
There will be spectacular de-
velopments in design and passen-
ger comfort, but one of the lead-
ing roles in the coming transporta-
tion revolution will be played by
an obscure little gadget no larger
than a spool. Without it, modern

“Yes?” murmured Joan.
“That you pretend you are me.
You resemble me in your general

The Hot Box Era
The roller bearing makes pos-
sible the 120-mile speeds of
streamlined trains, for which the
friction bearings now in general
use on railroads are inadequate.
Because roller bearings reduce
friction to a nearly negligible
quantity, they permit trains to

double-row series and held in travel at great speeds without
place by steel shells, the cylinders j danger of "hot boxes'’ and conse-

Despite their tiny size, these

“Impossible. If you've anything

Joan swayed. Then bit her lips
and got herself in hand. She’d giv- |

it She’d had her night of nights. ,
Dressed for the first time in years as
she wished, occupying a good seat
at the beautiful theater, she’d en-
tered fairyland. “I’ve nothing to

meet the sparkling skeptical eyes
of the man in the mirror.
The little room was empty except '
for the two of them.

if she could prove her stand that
I would give my consent."
"Yes,” said Joan, flushing be- |
neath the ardor she read in his face. ;
"Then I may go? I’ll return her
frock tomorrow."
He slipped the fur wrap about |
her. "No. You are to come home
with us tonight and let us make up
to you for what we did. And, little
Joan," he added, bending as they
passed out into the snowy night,
“you are going to let me prove to
you that there is romance left in
this drab old world." “Fringes of
Gold" had given Joan some happy
hours and the romance of the mimic
scenes became woven with the real
emotions of life for, just three
months later, she became Mrs.
Richard Grant.
Piratical Emblem
The marine research society of
Salem, Mass., says that it has no
exact information as to how the
name Jolly Roger originated, but
it was in use as early as 1720, when
it was employed by Captain Rob-
erta. In early times Roger was a
eanting term for rogue, and a Jolly
Roger, therefore, would have Ite
meaning as a jolly rogue.
