junction Of questions does not neces-
sarily imply that women and chick
ems are alike, but merely that the
former can no more restrain them
selves from hopping off cars the
wrong way than can the latter from
streaking across a dusty highway
whenever an automobile heaves in
sight. You can argue with a wo-
man Tor an hour-if you have the =
nerve-about the way she should get

the morning and the effect will be
we'll. didYyou ever argue with a wO-
man? There must be something in
woman's physical makeup, her psy-
Geological get up, or her dressmak-
er's idea Of what is what that causes
her to turn to the rear of the car
when she dismounts, and puts her in
position In which the slightest mo-
tion on the part of the car would
give her bad fall. Else, why dc
they turn like Lots wife, to the
rear, instead Of keeping their eyes tc
the front?
There are thousands Of women in
Washington who risk their lives not
once but several times a day getting
on and of street cars Perhaps
kind providence Is watching over
them as IL does over sailors and 9TH
ers, but now and then there is a bad
tumble and the cond dctors OF the
cars come in for their share Of criti
cism when by the exercise Of a lit
tie care on the part Of the womer
there would have been no harm done
The pictures presented here
were taken by the Times photo
shopping bour, at some Of the
busiest business centers in the city
and were selected from a large
number which showed in almost
every case women getting on and
on cars the wrong way. In one,
or two cases were they found TO
dismount and mount correctly out
Of the hundreds Of women who
were getting on and on cars
Several reasons for a woman's
taking chances in getting of cars
present themselves. No real Wo-
man wants to waste time Just
getting of a little thing like a
trolley car. Then, too. it very
often happens that the shop con-
tanning that especial shade OF
blue or pink ribbon which is
uppermOst in her mind lies toward
the rear Of the car. and she is not
taking any chances of not getting
there as quickly as possible.
woman is naturally handicap.
ped by her skirts, and therefore
should take all the more care to
get of cars correctly The state
of mind, If IL be such which
causes a woman TO tumble off a
car any old way, is for the most
part confined Jc women, for there
are very few men who do not get
on street cars correctly. It may
be that they have learned to take
The right steps jumping on and of
cars while in motion and when the
least tuD' in the wrong direction
might be .esponsible for a spraIn-
ed ankle or broken leg. Would Il
not be a good idea to have the
teachers In girls schools give les
sons on how not to board and how
not to get OF cars?

A bill from Mr.. Jensen for the bal

his opinion. Mr.. Jensen maintains
that there is nothing in the agree

compel him to pay that $40 for the
engineer. Contractors on such work
have paid the engineers fee without
question, it is asserted on the other
hand, in every remembered case, for

piles at the water front shore.
 Tonight three distinct fires were burning. One was in that portion that extends from Mob Hill down east. erly toward the waterfront. It was travelling slowly toward the Telegraph Hill section, and may die out from Hack of material or may again sweep toward the extreme water front. The center fire was in Mission street, and had reached Eighteenth street, but was making little headway to the hill side, where thousands of people were camped. The third and most dan gerous fire is that threatening the western section. This is really [ continuation of the Mob Hill fire. It is wedge shaped, with the apex push ing forward. This is the point against which the firemen are bending their greatest efforts.
 Dynamite was used for backfiring purposes, with only fair success. To night many blocks may be blown up
 Chief of Police Dineen said he thought 250 would fully cover the number of deaths. He found it i'm. possible to secure details. About if ty bodies thus far have been found
 There was much shooting of looters today, but the offenders were fortu nate enough to escape with wounds.
 The destruction of the western ad- dition of the city practically com pletes the work of the ravaging flames and marks the devastation of the en- tire city.
