WHY IS A FLY" ASKS
DR.. WOODS IN LECTURE

Washington, D. c., Dec. 17.-At the

day of the American Civic association,
DR.. Woods Hutchinson delivered a
half humorous, half serious address on
the question, 'sWhy is Fly?"

contemptuous 'shoo,' but an influence

"We may admire him for his indus
try, pertinacity and business enter
prise; we may even love him-luke-
warmly-as one of Gods creatures;
but we had better wipe him gently but
firmly out of existence just the same.
He is the best travelling salesman
known, carried grip on each of his
six legs, and trunk in his head. His
line of samples is extensive and will
lastsfrom time to eternity. He is more
of nurseryman and tree agent than
anything else, the only one whose
seeds and cuttings bear blossoms and
fruit equal to the pictures in the cata-
logue. In fact they bloom, never fad

rather translate you to bloom there" !"

" / In .

If the citizens of New York would
follow the advice Of Mayor Gaynor in
his letter to one of them who complained
Of the low temperature in the streetcars
the solution of the rapid transit problem
would be easy. Are the cars cold:
Walk SAYS his honor: III is colder
outside" BY walking. he went on. his
correspondent would become hardened
to low temperatures and acquire fndif-
ference to everything except fresh air.
Philosophy would come unto him, more
over in such abundance that he would
no longer he ready TO find fault with
everything in the world.
Perhaps the Mayor was little selfish
in his counsel. He has been Mayor for
a year. and his experience has doubtless
made him sigh for a population Of phi
losophers to rule over, city whose iI-
ha bitants are not ready to tiDd fault
with everything in il. with the teInpela-
ture of its cars. the size of the boot used
in catapulting passengers into subway
trains at the Grand Central Station and
q thousand similar frifies: a people who
might even love the lnterborougil Rapid
Transit Company. or ut least view il
with stole unconcern. How pleasant IT
would be 10 administer the affairs OF a
Municipality OF walkers all with the
calm. unruffied temperament of the
N.yor himself, Such community
would have no rapid transit problems.
There would be no need of going down
on ones knees Ia study maps No i'm
nortnnate boards of trade would be
cl.,morous for hasty and i'll considered
action. There would be no crowdinG in
the subway. The idea is So attractive
that we wonder the Mayor did not pre-
sent it TO the public when he was a can
didate for his present Office and was
discussing transit questions after the
manner of peripatetic philosopher.

Just twenty-five years ago last month

warning against precisely such course.
He said:

Just so any Democrat and any citizen

There doesn't seem to be any record

COLD STREETCARS.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sic: Mayor Gaynor's letter on cold street
cars is one of those eccentric outbursts
that make his friends feel sorry. He says
he wishes all cars were cold, and advises
his correspondent to walk. Does this ad-
vice apply to cripples and old people. TO
business men who have not as much time
as the Mayor has to reach their offices, 10
small children and women with babies. TO
tired workers and shoppers, all of whom
must use the cars, warm or cold?
Should they all ride in cold cars after
coming from hot buildings, with the sys-
TEN in no condition to resist the chilling
effect of a cold car? Does the Mayor deny
that under such conditions sickness can
and has resulted either as a slight cold
or run the gamut up TO pneumonia?
Was his honor not in humorous frame
of mind when he wrote II, as was Mr..
Shonts when he was alleged to have said
some years ago that, women had no busi-
ness to be on trains in rush hours, but
should be home before ) p. m, aud If so,
should he not have marked his letter
