HIGHWAY BILL
IS PRESENTED
If Measure is Approved Eng
land Will Have Splendid
Highway For Automobile
Traffic.
London. —If a bill which is to come
before Parliament soon is approved
England will have a splendid high
way exclusively confined to eut mo
bile traftic. The proposed road will
be about 50 miles long, and 150 feet
wide. Its estimated cost is ?25,000,-
000, and is to be constructed by a syn
dicate, the London, Brighton and
South Coast Motor Road Syndicate
Co., Ltd.
The idea was conceived by Otto
Tamini, a director of the company,
with the object of relieving the exist
ing main roads of much of their
heavy motor traffic, and, in conse
quence, the local authorities respon
sible for the upkeep of the roads of
much of the additional expense of
maintenance due to the wear caused
bv motor vehicles. Brighton has
selected as the Southern terminal ot
the new road because it is the fav
orite seaside recort of London mo
torists. owing to its easy distance,
for a day’s outing, and the facilities
offered there lor the entertainment
of motoring parties.
Reinforced Concrete.
The roadbed proposed is of rein
forced concrete with a bituminous
curface, which provides against dust
and sideslits.
Wherever the present main roads
cross the new roads, bridges will be
built, so that traffic on neither side
v ill be interfered with. The road will
be provided with three tracks—the
first for tue fast traffic, the second
for heavier vehicles, such as auto
omnibuses and charaebancs. and the
third for auto-cycles and cycle-cars.
Each track will be shut off from
the others by a barrier.
According to the plans the entrance
to the road at Richmond will he in
the form of an ornamental stone arch
and a rectangular building for gar
ages, workshops, and the sale of ac
cessories. At various points on the
road there will be grand stands and
workshops. The stands will be for
tne observation of auto racing on cer
tain specified days, and the work
shops for hauling brokendown cars
from UiC road and repairing them.
At Brighton terminus there will be
ornamental gardens and a bandstand.
The syndicate purpose building 180
auto-omnibuses de luxe for first, sec
nnd third class passengers. The fares
will be the same as existing railway
fares for the journey between the va
rious stations.
There will also be a large fleet of
commercial vehicles for ll\e convey
ance of merchandise.
Tle Celebrated Highland
Freebooter’s Grave Saved
Glasgow.—The birthplace of Rob Roy,
the celebrated Highland freebooter, the
place where he died, and his grave have
been saved by a decision of the house
of lords denying the city of Glasogw a
r ght to draw a water supply from Loch
Voil and Loch Doine. If Glasgow’s re
ouest had been granted t would have
been necessary, snce these lakes are a
part of the eastern watershed, to raise
the level of the lakes some 50 feet,
whch would have submerged the Rob
Lev landmarks.
These sentimental considerations were
laid before the house of lords in peti
t;on after petition, but the decision of
ihat body, sitting in its judicial capac
ity, was not based upon any of these
points. The ancient riiparian regula
tions read that water from an eastern
watershed shall not he diverted to west
ern uses, and it was decided that Glas
gow must forgeo its water supply for
the prosaic reason that the city is on the
wrong side of the watershed.
Monarch Plays Role of
Movie Actor in Drama
Pari* —Kin* Christian of Denmark
who, with Queen Alexandrine recently
pad an official visit to President Poin
care and Mme. Poincare, probaly is the
only sovereign who has played the role
of an actor :n a moving picture drama.
The inrident occurred at Hornbaek, a
small watering place near the capital. A
cinematograph company had arranged
the setting for an unusual scene for the
films. It was to be a ship wreck In
which a young woman, her child, and
the woman’s mother were participants.
The ing was promenading on the beach.
Suddenly he noticed the unfortunates,
their hair disheveled, who seemed to be
calling for help. The King started brave
ly to rescue them when a young actor,
hero of the drama picked them up. the
life belts with which they were equipped
having lessened the chances of any fatal
ending of the scene. The King finding
he had been included In the picture was
vexed and expressed the desire that It
be destroyed. The last half of the drama
had to be played without his assist
ance.
South German Business
Man Wins Smoker Contest
Frankfort. Germany.—What is believed
to be a world record has just been set
up at a congress of South German
emoker*. held here.
A special trophy, consisting of a allver
eagle, on a red and white ribbon, was
offered to the smoker who took the
longest time to turn a Mexican cigar
[lnto grey-white ashes without letting It
[once go out. The competition began
iSt 11 o’clock, and very nearly 200 pao-
B>!e contested for the award.
F By 12 o’clock only 20 competitors
Were In the running—the rest had re
gretfully finished their "weeds” or had
laid them at rest in the ash tray for too
long.
The rivals dropped out rapidly, and by
1 o’clock only one smoker was left—
H**r Heni. a Sachsenhausen business
tnsn. who artuallv puffed away In peace
until he had to throw his diminutive ci
gar stump swsv, 2 hours IS minutes and
12 seconds after he had set light to it
