Ruth Tally and Virginia and Helen
Thompson. Everyone reports an
enjoyable time.
Children are troublesome, but
at the same time they are nice.
They worry their fathers and broth
ers and also are the means of being
a great comfort. | wonder if the
children of the Commercial don't |
worry the editors. A large family
of children is an incentive to father
and mother to work hard and to
study economy in the household ex-
penses. How many patches do you
think your mother decorated your
clothes with while you were men,
Der of the old homestead. After
some of you were in bed and fast
asleep your mother toiled on to
make you look as neat as possible.
And so I imagine the editor may be
found toiling over some of our scrib-
bling when we are in bed, fast
asleep, trying to make our letters
presentable.

NEW SCHEDULE MAKES TROUBLE.
Motor Train Arrangement on Brooklyn Ele-
waited Road Goes Into Effect.

Trainmen on the elevated divisions of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company had a hard time OF
It yesterday afternoon and evening attempting
TO operate the new motor train schedule, which
went into effect for the first time. The sleet
and ice on the third rail prevented the electric
shoe from making i perfect contact with the rail-
and trains were able TO move only slowly, and
frequent blocks occurred. When it became ap-
parent that the weather growing colder and
that the coating the rails was becoming harder,
many engines were placed on the lines After that
things smoothly.
There was not SO much trouble in F1fth-aVe
which is used by the Bath Beach and Bay Ridge
trains because the motor trains have been running
instantly there and the third rail is smooth This
M e it more difficult for the ice to form, and
easier for the scrapers to clean the raiis. On the
Kings County Broadway and Lexington-ave- lines
however the rusty rails caused more trouble and
# was almost Impossible run trains at any speed
After dark trails of sparks and flashes OF IRE
ACCOMPANIED the running of the motor trains. and
furnished a brilliant spectacle for all persons in
the streets
By the schedule which went into effect yesterday
and will continue until further notice. motor trains
will be run on all the elevated lines, except the
Ridgewood division, at all times, except IN the
rush hours of the morning and evening. on all
business DAYS. The schedule provides for much
faster running time and will do much TO relieve the
