P'AGTj FTVW OFFERED TO TAKE PLACE 0FTUBES Passengers Step On Start Stop Sidewalk, for Ex- press Which Runs Con tinually at 15 M. P. H. By HOWARD W. B LAKES LEE . (Associated Press Science Editor.) KBW YORK,. Jan. 31. ff) The lhlTOV" aldewallt. a substitute for subways, which will carry Ite pas sengers a mile In a little more than lour minutes, was Jescrlbed In Its latest form to the American Instl tute of Electrical Engineers today. The btway Is double sidewalk, one beside the other, one Which start and t. while Its companion never stops, but loads from Its intermit tent .companion. Norman W. Storer of the Westlnghouse Electric and Manufacturing company of East Pitts burgh said blways will cost leas to construct and Install than eubwys and use less power. 6torer credited Ebeneier Hawkins of Isllp, L. I., with originating me blway Idea in 1874. He cited many mechanical devices experimented with subsequently, and those In recent years which, have seemed on the Dolnt of sucess, but have not been used. In the latest plan, the never-stop, nr mri sidewalk moves at an av. erage speed of 15 miles an hour. In cycles In which lte speed ranges from 12'i miles an nour to iov. With the slower speed of the the stert-stOD sidewalk syn chronlzes every 42 seconds, to enable passengers to get on or off the ex .!. The express sidewalk Is fitted with chairs, ine io iui no scats, but Is fitted with handrails. Including the time spent on the Jocal aldewelk while waiting to board the express walk. Storer said a. pas senger would travel 5.000 feet In four and a fifth minutes. That would be an average speed of 1314 miles an hour. But If the same passenger remain ed aboard the express for two miles he would travel at an average of 14 and three-tenths miles an hour.

SI. (Spl.) W. O. Shambaugh, ranger and expert Jackhammer man, of Portland region al forestry service office lectured some sixty Missouri members of Company 4742 here yesterday on the inner worklnga of the Jackhammer. He completely dismantled a Jackhammer and showed the future operators what, to Shambaugh'a expert eye, waa the written record Inside the hammer of how efficiently It had been oper ated. The Jackhammer. sometimes called the rockman'a machine gun, strikes pound blows against the drill at the rate of 1600 to 2000 times a min ute. Because of the terrtflo punish ment the little machine has to bear, only the very best steel can be used In Its construction. The steel usea In razor blades Is not good enough to be used In Jackhammers, Sham baugh explained. The lecturer explained to cniei Foreman Paul Thompson's operators the common csuses of breakage and inefficient operation In the machines. He also gave the men a general Idea of wages and working conditions for Jackhammer operators on private projects. Yesterday's lecture waa a part oi the CCC educational program which alms to promote higher efficiency In side the CCC and to Increase the number of skilled workmen available to outside Industry. Members receive Instruction and practice on the Job and spare time Instruction in theory, all of which prepares members to qualify for gainful employment in private Industry when enrollment pe riods are completed. Much of the excellent result In work accomplished obtained in CCC work la due to this plan, which calls for a close stimulation of working conditions outside the organization, where lack of time precludes the pos sibility of extensive development of skilled workmen. For this reason the CCC haa come to be known aa the developing grounds of America's fu ture skilled workmen.

AS E BEER LONDON (OP) One of Oren Britain's oldest and most dignified officials, the official beer taster, is disappearing and only 30 of these Up-smacking gentlemen remain. The most recent "ale Conner" to go was at Altrlnchum In Cheshire, where the local court leet regularly haa appointed a town tas'.er every year since 1290. Now Altrlncham has been incorporated as a county bor ough and the court leet dissolved. The city of London has four ! conners who are elected with t ris sheriffs. The city's ale conners date to the days of William the Conqueror. London's veteran ronner Is 88-yenr- old Edward Hipwell. who h.is been testing beer for 30 years. Recently, however, there have heen scant de mands for his true. -tasting abilities although he has. on ceremonial oc casions, visited a brewery and gravely passed his verdict on a freshly brewed beer. The London Conner receives no fees as he did In the old days, but he draws a small annual salary. Years ago," Hipwell said, "a Con ner who found the beer below stand ard would report to the authorities, who might fine the brewer. "Sometimes the penalty would oe more severe. The offender might he- sentenced to drink all the bad beer, the remainder being poured over his head." At one period In Britain's history the Conner always wore leather breeches. He would spill ft little beer on a bench and if his breeches stuck to the wood he would judge the liquor to be of required strength. "I still can taste beer with the best of them." Hipwell said proudly. "But there's no need today. No bad beer ever leaves the brewery." In Westerham, Kent, snd Alcestpr. Warwick, the church vicar serves a ale-conner.
