VESTTBCLES FOR MOTORnEN.
DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT HELD BY
THE BROOKLYN HEALTH PRO
TECTrVE ASSOCIATION

At the meeting OF the Brooklyn Womens Health
Protective Association yesterday leading topic
for discussion was the best way TO aid in the
passage of bill which will compel the street
railway lines to provide vestibules for the proteo-
ton OF their motormen during the cold weather
Mrs James Scrimgeour, president of the society
who was In the chair, thought the first step should
be TO learn the reasons offered by the companies
for not having done this before. She desired
above all things that common sense and not senti-
mental methods should be used by the organiza-
ton, and stated that a motorman had expressed
to her his dlsapproval of the vestbules. declaring
that in this climate there is much humidity
that the glass would be covered with frost most OF
the time, and that this would be a serious OBJ
stacle to the vigilance of the motorman and thus
endanger the lives OF people crossing the tracks.
Mrs Scrimgeour expressed her dsapproval OF
the valuable space given IN the to instruc-
tons carefully illustrated. telling women the right
and wrong way get off a In her expert
ence she had never found that women needed such
advice more than men. and she had not known
women who were In the habit of falling around
and getting killed.
The subject Of the supply is to occupy
portion of every meeting during the year.
In its present condition Mrs. Scrimgeour asserted
