She doesn't believe a woman would make any better mayor than a man. In her opinion it is a matter of "persons, not sex." She hopes, however, to make a change in the educational system, so that "the younger noneration will get a clearer idea of the prin ciples of socialism," and she hopes "to give the transportation system a little jolt which will put more speed into It." - .

After her marriage to Oscar Johnson and his subsequent deuth, she came to New York, entered Hunter college and gained the col lege degree she hart always cov eted. . .

CELEBRATE 1 0OTH King Zog's Country Changes WASIUNC.TOX (IP) A century ago August 8. the first locomotive operated In the western hemis phere, the famous "Stourbridge Won," chattered over hemlock rails protected by strip Iron. As the hundred-year anniversary passes in ransportatlon history, the country sees a new epoch be-1 Kin with the "iron horse" teamed with aircraft as an auxiliary. Where today the continent is spanned in the slender space of 4S hours, the little engine chugged along at four miles an hour. The epochal trip was made from llonesdale. Pa., with . Horatio Allen, engineer of the Delaware and Hudson canal company, at the throttle. . . The engine, with a gigantic lion's head painted on the front, coursed three miles into woods towards Carbondale, Pa., part of the time over a wooden trestle, and was re versed for the return journey. The test run revealed that the tracks were too weak to support the seven-ton locomotive. Another run was made September 8, 1821. after which the "Lion" was dis carded. It had heen originally intended that the engine would haul trnlns of coal from the company's mines in Curbondnle, pa., to the western terminus of a canal, a distance of 11 miles. The canal, completed in 1 S2 H, extended 1X miles from llonesdale to P.nndotit, N. V., on the Hudson river, thus providing a water route from New York City to the valuable anthracite fields of northeastern Pennsylvania. The locomotive was designed and built by Foster, Hastrick and company of Stourbridge, Kngland, and delivered In Nnv York at a cost of $2,914.00. Three other locomotives were purchased at the snmo time, the "America." "Delaware' and "Hud son." HecauP nf the weak track, designed for thre-ton engine, all four were discarded. At the time the "Htourhridgp Uon" wns run, not a single rail road st wini locomotive ever had turned it wheel or run on any track In the I'nlted States, and even In Kngland th superiority of engine to the horse was not gen , er.illy recognized. The "l.ion." after its !erond run. was housed In a temporary snn n bt-r It i ustfd until parts were dismantled and used in company -hops. Some were rescued and de posited tn the Srniihsnnian Insti tution. Including the boiler, a yl ndr. a "grf.sshopper benm," and the w heel rims. "WASHINGTON iVP) Changes have been breath-laklngly swift In tho capitat of Europe's newest monarchy: Tirana, Albania. Seventeen years ago Albania was a province of Turkey. Kor a brief interval before the World war It was an independent monarchy, ruled by a Merman prince. The country was occupied by the entente in lit I T and then became a republic. In 1 ! 2 ft Ahmed Hog Zogu was made its president. Last Sep tember, President Zogu became King Zogu. Anil within the last few weeks tho king has changed his name: He Is now King Xog I. Albania was virtually n n nn- I known land before the World war, and Tirana was as little known as the rest of the country, the Na tional Geographic society points out. Durazzo, the chief city, and now the port for Inland Tirana, was the: capital in those days and the most visited spot in Albania. Tirana lay only 20 miles inland, but the road was almost impassable and tho only mode of conveyance was by springless ox-cart or by donkey back. Since Tirana was made the cap ital the situation has completely changed. An excellent highway connects the eapHM and lis port. been retained. "liodies on all models are larger.
