Should any doubt linger in the 'mind as to Signor Musolini's popularity it would be dispelled by a glance at the room of his secretaries, which was atacked: almost to the ceiling with the Now Year presants sent to the "Duce" It is an extraordinary assortment, from portraits in gorgeous frames of obscure citizens who fondly imagine that they bear a striking Sesemblance to their hard to ahdmpeo powders and bottles of hair restorer..

There is something almost romantic about the new tramear which is shortly to be placed on one of the London Mechanical devices have been em- ployed in its construction to such, an extent that it may be consider- ed as nearly accident proof as "modern ingenuity can make such a vehicle. A door which automatic ally releases a step for alight- ing when opened has already been in use on private omnibuses, andi' its application to tramways should serve to ensure greater safety especially when, as in the case rë- ferred to the door cannot open except by the car being brought to a standstill. A car of this type is already in use on the

Mound Hanover Street route, in Edin-. burgh, but the London design has other features.. The system, adopted in America whereby pas- sengers deposit their fare in a re- ceptacle has not been adopted previously in England, prob- ably on account of the less suit- uble English monetary system. Tickets will be issued automatical ly as the fare is deposited, although a simpler method might also have been copied from some of the American systems, where a standard fare is charged for the journey. Perhaps the most novel idea is the use of a machine for changing money. The driving of the tram, which will necessitate the presence of the sole employee on the vehicle, will be controlled by what is known as the "dead god-daughter. man's grip handle, by means of the same year as Queen Alexandra
