Separate Cars for Women

The great debate about separate ears for women in New York s underground and elevated railways seems at an end. Separate cars were advocated by sever al organizations of women, but it ap- pears that the women did not wish them. Perhaps they did not like ex- elusive feminine compaDionship. The presence of an escort made the separate car in such case useless. The public service commission has finally defeated an order directing the placing of wom- en s cars in the subway during rush hours. It has held that women are compelled to stand in the special cars as much as ever, and moreover the separate arrangement caused delay at stations. But the most conclusive ar gument of all was the demonstrated fact that the women would not flock by themselves. Thus it would seem that in this case the feminine organ izations did not know what they were talking about.

The Sayings Of Mrs. Solomon (Being the Confessions of the Seven Hundreth Wife)
Translated by Mdude Marie.

Verify, verily, my daughter, men are de ceitful, and marriage is van
 For woman weddeth in order that she may become the whole thing, yet awakeneth to find that she is only an accessory, even the ''traiIer" which followeth at the end of a mans train of thought.
 Lo, a sweetheart absorbeth all mans at tention and most of his pocket money; but wife getting only that which is left over even the tag end of his conversation and the odd moments of his tme after the office and the club and the baseball grounds and the corner cafe, they are closed yea, and what is left of his salary after the bills have been paid and his card debts settled.
 For card debt is matter of honor, but a wife's debts are a matter of graft. And she that marryeth in order to escape hard work shall find nothing harder to work than hus- band.
 Yet, it hath been said that life is but choice of evils; and peradventure husband is the least of these
 For what woman doth not prefer to be a wife, and play the dummy in the game of life, rather than to be an old maid and complete y out of the gameg
 Lo, it is noble to be independent and to pay thine own gas bills, but it is more convenient to be a parasite and wear Doucet gowns.
 And what profteth it damsel though she gain the respect and admiration of the whole world, vet receiveth only fifteen dollars per week.
 Go to- The only way for a woman to get anything worth having is to share with some man that which he hath already grabbed for himself.
 Verify, verify, the crumbs of life's cake are to be chosen rather than nothing at all; and it is better to marry and become an annex. even an accessory, than to remain an old maid, which is superhuty. Selah!

Censors of Drinks

There is trouble in New Jersey over statute that requires municipal au- thorities to appoint boards of "protec. tors, with power to draw up lists of persons to whom saloonkeepers are for bidden to sell liquor as habitual in- ebriates. It is not surprising that there should be complaint from bar keepers, part of whose business it is to maintain diplomatic relations with customers, but from citizens who pro test against the indignity of being classed officially as drunkards. IL is notoriously problem both delicate and difficult to define individual intoxica- tion. What one man can carry another cannot, and the carrying power varies at times with the same persons. There seem to be opportunities for the exer- else of personal malice in such law. The liquor problem in New Jersey is accentuated by the collision between "dry' Sundays and the prevalent thirst at the seaside resorts. But one would think the office of "protector' highly undesirable. Who would wish to be the censor of drinksf

NO TAX ON OCEAN TRAVEL

tax on American tourists bound for foreign travel! Such IS the proposition advanced by Paul Morton, who has not been credited with a compelling sense of humor. But perhaps if is a more caustic satire upon the protection of home industries that underes his suggestion. He advances the proposition that the only real ly good Americans who cross the Atlantic to view the historic treasures and the present spectacles of European lands and cities are those who have first behed the gories of their own country. That taken by itself, is advice most sound, and far from novel. A tax upon exports is not permitted, even if tourists of temporary travel could be regarded as exports, or could be placed in bond. But this economist would penalize the citizen of the United States who would cross the water before going to Nj agara and Seattle by taxing letters of credit and travellers checks. He would require every American to take out passport before going on shipboard, and moreover would issue no passports except to those who can produce cer- tfcates of travel in their native land. There are immigration laws to regulate the incomers; so why not emigration laws to qualify the out goers!
 If this be humor, there are many who will fail to grasp its subtleties. Such legislation, if It were possible would pear most nardly upon those least able to bear the burden. There are persons of limited means who can compass a trans Atlantic journey in these days of reason able expense for ocean travel, but who could not afford also the previous qualification of a iaunt about the expanse of the United States. It would be both cruel and unjust to deprive them of the greatest pleasure, perhaps, of life time But there is no danger that this sugges- ton, however gravely it may have been meant. will he taken seriously

Cleaner Railway Cars

Gov. Hadley of Wisconsin urges the state board of health to enforce cleanliness in railway coaches as a pre- veutive of tuberculosis. He has learn ed that 10000 people in his state die in year of that disease. The task of keeping the railway ears clean re quires the cooperation of the public, Even the use of germicides does not remove entirely the menace of the GUS pdor. Another danger lies in the over heating cars sin winter But if the railway officials should undertake to keep the ears at a temperature that a physician would approve, not all of the passengers would approve. Some would wish windows open. others would have them closed. Perhaps damage suits would follow the enforcement of any fixed regulation. Legislative stat utes might prevent them. After all, there must be some reliance upon the average good sense of travellers. The more there are and the farther they go, the more they will learn. No passenger agent will object to the process of ed ucation. But there are possibilities of an improvement by car porters in the direction of cleanliness, as well as of prompt and courteous service.

bind the mouths of their pets at night so tightly that no burdensome amount of sound could es- cape into the otherwise quiet night air, why that would be solution of at least a large third of the nocturnal uproar problem and the chances would be favorable for the local in somnia sufferers to catch brief nap now and then between the sunset and the dawning. It is not in any way probable that the fond owners will adopt this very human measure, unless they happen to have their owii slumbers dis turbed by the backyard bedlam, but the mere possibility of such suppression of houndish yelping leads one to express a wistful desire for such a consummation.

OfPassing Interest
Cork Legs Helpful

Misfortune is not without its saving qualities. A victim of the Texas tidal wave, one William Davies, was kept afloat thirty hours, his only means of support being his two cork legs, which he had previously unstrapped, grpped firmly under his arms. Some people who had legs, not of cork, lost their lives. The dispatch states that he was carried to sea fifteen miles on raft That is all right, up to that point. Ii then adds: ''With his cork supports under his arms, he swan back into the bay' Here is where we hesitate. If he swan fifteen miles without any legs he certainly was eorker. for his arms, Of course, were busy holding life pre- servers. But the main thing about the incident is the value of having a pair of cork legs handy. This man $ ms fortune proved to be his means of sal vation. Of course, we don t want an outfit of cork pedals, but it we do ar rive at that stage of locomotion we can readily see where they might come in 10 uO dOupi tiidt MI Davies now looks upon his cork extrem- ities with more than passing fondness, and that he will take them on all his future sea trips.
 Cork rightly used is q blessing to mankind It buoys up men and women when all other means fail. Many man has been ruined by removing too many corks Mir. Davis was saved by doing so. Imagine his plight had he not re, moved his artificial underpinning ere the tidal wave swept him into the bay. It would have been impossible for him to have hoated otherwise than head downward. This should teach us that if we ever reach the cork leg stage we might safely hang our clothes on a hickory limb (not cork one), but keep away from the water unless our extrem- ities are detached and ready to serve as life preservers.
