HOW TO JUMP TROLLEYS.
New Course Added to Curriculum O,
Chicago Public Schools.

New Course Added to Curriculum Of
Chicago Public Schools.
'"The theory and practice Of Tipping
street cars' Is the latest course to be
placed in the curriculum Of the Chica-
go public schools. Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, the superintendent, is the insti-
gator of the new move, which she de-
signs especially for girl pupils.
"Flipping' is Chicago slang for
boarding or leaving cars while in mo-
ton. 1t is a practice pursued by all
Ch1cagoans. Mrs. Young hopes to pro-
tect life and limb by teaching girls to
face forward while clipping" instead
Of backward, as women often do.
The course on street car conduct will
consist Of talks on the subject by the
teachers, perhaps with some practical
illustrations later on. Mrs. Young be-
neves young women Of the next gen.
GRAFTON will be able to swing on and
off a car gracefully and with preci-
sion.
"At first only boarding and leaving
the cars will be taught" she said, "but
q little later there will be instruction
on'how to safely cross the car tracks"

feats Of seamanship Performed With
Square Riggers.
Square rugged ships can, in case of
necessity, be made to sail rudder fore
most. and there are many cases known
where ships have sailed in that re-
versed order. Only few years ago a
case was recorded of such backward
sailing.
One instance where the maneuyer
was employed by genius in battle
tactics rather than under the need Of
marine disaster is a brilliant chapter
in the history of Old Ironsides. This
account is taken from Maclay's naval
history:
1.-THE sternmost ship was observed
lufting up so as to take raking posi-
ton across the Constitutions stem.
Mindful Of his danger, Captain Stew
art suddenly braced his main and niz-
zen topsails fat to the mast, shook all
forward, let go his lib sheet and quit
~ but swiftly backed, under cover ct
the smoke, abreast the rear ship. Tie
maneuver was executed in beautiful
style. The yards swung around almost
as soon as the order was issued; Vie
ship checked her course, trembled for
a moment and then began backing. Is
If by magic the Constitution hid
dropped astern and almost before he
enemy was aware of it was alongside
of the sternmost ship with every gun
of her formidable battery reloaded snd
double shotted." f.
The clipper ship Dreadnought lSt
her rudder in a gale in the winterof
1923, and Captain Samuel Samrels
performed the great feat of sailing Ter
backward for more than 600 miles md
