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.

CAMP WTMER, Jtn. 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.

passed on to God January 9, 1933:
The first time I saw Gods face
waa when I looked upon a sleeping
child. Again, when I saw a beautiful
full bloom rose, aa I walked In the
garden very early In the morning.
The first time I saw Hla hand was
when I saw the painting called "The
Offering or a Hose:" again when I,
looked upon the ata-tuo called "In
spiration," and many times since
when I see beautiful aheer laces
made by mschlnery.
One morning I entered a church
for services. The Scripture lesson
read. "The Lord Is In Hla Holy

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.
