THE CAR uINDow THAT STICKS.


II should think" said Mr.. Mobiles, "that
there might be money In an invention for
opening car windows that stick-somcthing
handy and portable that n man could easily
carry in his pocket. / should say that some
thing on the principle of a wagon jack might
do, something that could be rested on the sill
under the finger piece attached to the window
frame, upon which the power would be cxertcd;
the implement should lift the window suffi.
ciently so that one could get his fingers under II.
THE window that sticks is familiar. 1t may
be found in new cars, in cars that have Just
been repaintcd, and often in cars in damp
weather. Then does the passenger pound upon
the frame, three pounds on one side. three
pounds on the other, and get hold Of the handle
and lift. Sometimes he raises It and some
times he doesn't, and when he doesn't he knows
that the window Is laughing in its sash. Then
he pounds some more. and starts it finally, per-
haps. or he gives it no and sits down red in the
face. or goes and tries another. Ii may be that
while he fails, his neiEhbor in the next scat
throws his window up with apparent ease; and
he would be less than human II he were not dis

her seat again with a smile. Fatal smile! You

When the window doesn't come with the first

put your knee On the seat and tug and haul,
but without result. Then you try the window
in front. Same there. And finally you give it
up; awful thing TO do: and you blush and smile
and say that they stick very tight. And she
thanks you. graciously enough, but without
any smile, because you have made n show Of
her and Of yourself by your clumsy efforts.
The lady stops the brakeman when he comes
along. and he steps into the seat, puts one fin
ger under the finger hold on the sash, rests the
other hand lightly on the window frame, and
zip! he throws the window up with a bang, and
apparently 1t was dead easy for him. She
thanks him with n smile, and Tic steps back and
goes on down the aisle re- though he could push
up q whole string Of windows just like that ono
after another in the same manner; and your
humiliation is complete.
Decidedly, we want a window jack. We
might have a biz, regular. full-sized one carried
in each car. There might be a card tackled in
the panels between the seats saying that the

1t wouldn't do. What we want is n portable
window jack, that can he easily carried in the
pocket or In n small gripsack, that will do the
work and that can be sold cheap. There's
