NOT ALTOGETHER COURTEOUS

Complaint was made yesterday by several Mesa ladies concerning tn numerous male congregations which held informal sessions on several street corners Monday while the rain fell and the streets were expanses of gently drifting mud. The ladies in question. with many others, were com- pelled to navigate the mud when ap- roaching one of these masculine gath erings from the seaward side, the par ticular complaint being of the lack of courtesy which kept the street cross ing blocked against womankind.
