which it knows as the near side car" Its particularly new feature, as view ed from the outside, is the absence Of the rear platform and the closed door with disappearing steps on the front platform. The rear platform has been converted into a sort of observation compartment, with seats. There is door in the rear to be used only in case of emergency.
 New York and Boston, with other cities, have been greatly interested of late in the matter of safety provision for the passengers in public convey ances Not long ago a woman dancer sued the InterborOugh Rapid Transit company of New York, which operates the subway. She was injured by fall ing between a train and platform at the Fourteenth street station. There are open spaces between the station platform and the trains as they stop at this station. The company assert ed that it had done all 1t could do to eliminate the danger by stationing men on the platform to warn passengers to "Watch your step!" They cry this out continually whenever passenger alight from or enter cars. The court held that this was a sufficient precaution and refused damages to the complain ant Tn commenting on the case the presiding justice asserted that the point raised was very important and it's decision would probably create a precedent of moment in disposing of similar accident cases which might arise in the future.
 In Boston the supreme court of Mas sachusetts decided few weeks ago that women are not obliged to lift their skirts in alighting from cars unless they choose to do so. They have every right furthermore. the learned court declared, to wear skirts of whatever length they wished.
 Miranda R. Martin of Brockton was getting off a car when her skirt caught on a sand plunger which projected from the front platform She was flung to the street and sued the company, getting a verdict of $1 900 damages The company appealed from the de- cfsion, alleging that the woman had been negligent in failing to lift her long skirt high enough to clear the plunger
 Tn affirming the judgment. the su- preme court held that the company's position was untenable. The woman had been told by an authorized em- ployee to leave by the front door. and the company, it was held should have the plunger. ARTHUR J. BRINTON.

between the trucks. The car has a look of compactness and strength, for the ends are rounded, and there is nothing to suggest a protruding step or handraiI. Tt makes you think of little battleship," said one observer. In building the car its designer. J. $. Doyle, superintendent of car equip ment of the Manhattan surface lines, had in mind primarily the matter of accident prevention.
 To make a car that would be safe to board or alight from was his aim. So a car was built with side doors which cannot be opened until the car stops. The car cannot start until the door closes. There is no step for boys and men in a hurry to jump upon or for women to fall from. , When the car stops the conductor. who has a seat in the middle behind a little desk, presses a button with his foot and a pneumatic arrangement opens the door. Then the motorm2n, if the track is

clear sets his controller in the first notch for going ahead.
 The conductor, when the passengers are off and on closes the door by re- leasing the button and the instant the door closes the car starts. If the way is not clear the motorman does not throw his controller in, but the closing of the doors flashes a light before him, and he goes ahead.
 Provisions are made for the satisfac- tory lighting. heating and ventilation of the car. The seats are arranged comfortably in pairs and are all cross seats, with the exception of those in the two ends, which are semicircular in arrangement. When the car was of- fered to some prominent women for inspection they promptly nicknamed it the ''cozy corner car" on account of these seets. There is provision for 5tandees, but no straps The place of the straps is taken by posts

It will probably hold 20.- 900 persons when the temporary chairman and permanent chairman sound the leynotes of the campaign. The structure is built of granite and is surnounted by a vaulted roof which rises 106 feet above the main floor. It differs from the coliseum in having two balconies instead of one. and it's acoustic properties are said to ne bet ter than those of the Chicago hall There are twenty -one company rooms grouped in suits and arranged so as to make admirable meeting places for committees, etc. The armory is sit uated in the northern part of the city, within easy walking distance of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania stations.

 At first. in the manner of New York with innovations. the big town was disposed to make light of the new car, calling it names, but after a little ex- perimentation and experience 1t has decided that the car is a good thing.
 Among the other names applied to the vehicle was "hobble skirt car. Therein may be read an explanation of the favor with which women have received it, for, no matter how tight or narrow are the skirts which women wear, they can enter or leave this car with ease and safety.
