WHERE THE SUBWAY SAVES.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In recent editorial In The Tribune
YOU say: with subways and q five-ceht
fare all over the city, what becomes OF inc
theory that a fve-cent fare all over a.
single borough on the surface cars Is
ruinous?"
The answer to This is very simple The
subwars have nominal accident account.
as the whole path is unebstructed Inc
surface roads have paid as much as sZZ
oo0 of accident claims in one year, Whicn
is equal to 45 10000 fares. The loss on sur
face road investments in the last five years
has amounted to $500, 900. The public
wants something for nothing, and 1t won't
get it, because business can't live that way

1t may be that, after all. New Workers
are wrong and that there are no such
things as flat wheels, long supposed to
be the bane of trolley travellers and sleep
seekers. Possibly the wheels are not to
blame. A recent consular report from
Leeds, England. says that complaints of
jars TO bones and nerves have been traced
to the condition of the tramway rails. which
seem to have an unpleasant habit OF
"wrinkling,' causing slight corrugations
that make smooth riding and comparative
ly noiseless operation impossible. But if
that's the trouble i'll this city verify the
last estate of Gotham is worse than the
first, for while it may be reasonably easy
to replace worn wheel here and there on
a streetcar, the task Of relaying the hun
dreds of miles of tracks would be enough
to make even New York quail.

N SACRIFICE AND SERVICE
Thus Only May Be Found the Full
ness and Perpetuity of the
Perfect Life.

To live for others Is to widen the
hounds of life. Our sympathies make
the measure of our souls. No man is
any bigger than his heart. You are
great, not according to the number OF
servants you have, but according to
the number whom you freely serve in
love.
Your hold ON life depends on your
embarrassment in it. Your roots in
society, In the universe. strike deep
"a you are investing yourself in 1t.
80 many lives have NO root because
thew are afraid to strike down out
Of sight, to lose themselves. Sinking
nothing in sacrifice, they soon dry up
and blow away.
Our modern problems Of individual
and social suffering, wrong and injus-
lice, are marks of an age that has not
learned 10 live by this law of self
giving. We still believe. whatever
creeds our lips may utter, that every
