CHICAGO MANS HUGE TASK.
Would Drive Women From Shops Early
 to Seat Workers In Cars.

tO 0CAh III SdTbs
 One man in Chicago has taken upon his shoulders huge task. It is in- volved in this proposition: Women shoppers should buy early and get out of the shopping district before 5 p. m. Then the working girl and the toiling man could get seats in the street cars.
 The brave man who proposes this idea Is s. B. Mills, a member of the real estate board. At the boards meet ing the other day he preached the mat ter.
 T have made q study of this situa- tion for many years" said Mir. Mills. Wight after night I have watched these lazy women, with their sprawl ing bundles. march into the cars and take up half the seats. If poor work ing girl who has been worn to thread by waiting on them all day manages to get seat 1t Is a miracle.
 "If a laboring man. heavy and tired from his days work, doesn't rise to give them his seat, supposing by any chance be happens to have one, he is Immediately regarded as dolt and an idiot.
 These women ought to be driven out of the district before the close of the stores.
 Let US try moral suasion and coax ing and see if we can move their selfish hearts and solve one of the great fea- lures of the transportation problem. The ministers ought to preach on this subject"

There is a new wrinkle in New York on the ten cent automobile buses of Fifth avenue which is warranted to give any one a start the first time one meets it. It is an automatic coin re ceiver. looking more like a revolver than anything else. through which tie conductor Is required to receive all fares.

a monster have had where women did the proposing?
 'One of the merits I claim for my matrimonial bureau is that it would revoiutionizs society by introducing economy. Now, everybody knows that 1t costs the average man so much to land a girl that it takes him and his wife several years after marriage to pay his courtship debts. My bureau would do away with all this. Of course the florists and candy shops and maybe the theaters would kick on it, but what harvest the fellows who sell clothes and furniture would reap! And what a disappointment 1t would save the girls! It must give any girl jolt after she's been showered with sup pers and theaterS and flowers and can dy to find herself tied to the home after marriage. Again, many a married woman would have better clothes If she hadn't had such a good time dur ing the engagement period. More fel- lows would own houses if they hadn't tried to play the rich and generous In the preliminary festivities.
 "The bureau would also solve the liquor problem without introducing prohibition. AS soon as women do the popping Carrie Nation will lose her job. Her occupation will be gone. When our chances of getting married depend on women, we'll be only too eager to walk the chalk line Stag banquets would vanish from the earth. The ladies would rule the bachelors as much as they now rule us married men.
 Gases of tobacco heart would be as scarce as centenarians. We would be put on short tobacco rations and only allowed to smoke the brands that leok- ed and smelled good to the ladies. As for poker-well, that would soon be obsolete. Once in awhile we might be allowed to play hearts or casino, but the most popular young men would be those who didn't know what the paste boards look like"
 But what would the bureau do in a case where a woman proposed to man and then exercised her feminine prerogative of changing her mind?" asked the reporter.
 ''Now, that would be regulated by the interstate commerce law" replied MT. Bede. According to the law, she couldn't change her schedule without giving a months notice."
 What would the bureau do if the girl proposed to the wrong man." per sisted the reporter.
 "Well," answered MT. Bede, eff she popped to some fellow who wanted to sidestep, the bureau would make her show cause why she should be allowed to marry him."
 In response to query as to whether woman, if allowed to propose, would still be allowed to name the day, MT. Bede replied, after period of deep thought, "I think the challenged party ought to have the right to name the time and place as well as weapons, but suppose they could come to a compromise on that"
 MT. Bede says that as yet his plans for the bureau of matrimony have not been completed, because he hasn't had the time to give 1t the attention that its importance requires.
