the supply doesn't begin TO be equal to the de-,

The Health Commissioner had talk with Mr..

been OF the heart TO heart order We hope the
conversation really did answer to that descrlp-
ton for it related to j nuisance when mas

Occasionally 4 passenger would succeed IN

thinks it necessary 10 practise concealment. 1t
is bad enough TO permit the platforms to be
crowded, and unfortunate passengers who are
virtually compelled TO ride outside In the rush
hours are at least entitled TO be exempted from
unnecessary annoyance.
DR.. Darlington suggests the Idea that the toll
eration of smoking the platforms tends to
crowd them, but, however that may be. he Is
resolved to stop 1t. Il told Mr.. Vreeland.' he
saws that If the abuse wasn't otherwise pre-
vented, 1 should have my inspectors pull the
objectionable persons off the cars and arrest
them" How that programme strikes Mr..
yreeland we have no means of knowing, though
he promised to cooperate with the Health De-
partment; but If he does take steps to promote
decency and the comfort OF the great majority
OF his passengers he will merely be doing what
ought to have been done long ago without a
warning from the public authorities.
