WOMEN GIVEN %
SECONDS ADVANTAGE
Father Knckerbocker Giving the Pro-
verbal New Yorker Lesson In
Courtesy

NEW YORK, Augir cS.-Father
Kn!cpe rbocker is going 10 have more
polite male citizens if he has to use
& club. The fact that real" New
Yorker can be distinguished because
he never gives up his seat IN car to
woman. is proverbial with visitors
in the metropolis SO Father knicker-
lockers strong-arm lessons in cour-
tesy begin right here.
Within a few days the police haV
placed in operation a new system VI
loading trolley cars at the Manhattan
end of the Brooklyn bridge during the
rush hours and already the Brooklyn
portion of the male population are
we'll advanced in its politeness course.
This is one of the most congested
points in the entire city and under The
old order the crush was so great tha,
women and children tainted In the
Jam. Now men and women are cor
rallied in separate parts Of the ter
minal and the women and children
are given twenty-five seconds in
which to board cars. Husky bluecoats
and plenty of them are nightly on
duty at the "corrals" and until that
rs seconds is up nary man dare put
foot on the car At the expiration
of that period, if there are any seats
left. the men are at liberty to take
them.
The first night the new system was
, tried an unusually sharp thunder
storm drenched the city just as the
rush began and some of the men got
ducking because of the new arrange
ment That and the fact that many of
| them didn't get seats for the first
time in years proved quite "goat-get-
/ ter" but this didn't interfere with the
success of the new system and since
then the men are highly elated over
i the enforced politeness and it's re-
suits There is some talk of extending
! the system to other congested points
on the traction lines. BY the time the
subway gang has been reformed New
York won't seem like the same old
place.
