Those psychologists therefore who have reached
the conclusion that women get of backward be-
cause they use the right instead OF the left hand
propose two solutions One Is to run the cars on
opposite tracks. An uptown Sixth-ave car would
thus run nearest to the west sidewalk and the
downtown car would take the east track This
system would be according to the turn-to-the-Ieft
law Of English driving. On cars operated IN this
fashion It is argued that women would use the
left hand. now, in catching up their skirts and
by swinging OF with the right hand they would
face the motorman and thus be safe from accident
Another plan. far less revolutionary. is simply to
place a stanChion the edge OF the car which

Many schemes have been suggested to the street

women passengers without injury or death Some
say that the reason women get OF backward from
