Bernard Shaw ! aoood Fellow"

At luncheon Of the Women's REu-
nicipal league in the Hotel Martinique
the other afternoon, Annie Russell, the
actress, told of her personal expert
ences with Bernard Shaw.
"Mr. Shaw is a man of extreme kind
liness." she said, "and free from ego
tism, detaching himself from his work
while it is being rehearsed."
To bear out her statements she read
letters from Mr.. Shaw written to her
while she was rehearsing a part in
Major Barbara" In one letter he told
her she could Show him more about
the part than he could show her.
Again he wrote:
do as you like and do not think Of
the author. He will get more than his
share anyway"
She said the keen sense OF humOr al
ways was in evidence when q rehearsal
was In progress.

A "politeness car" is the newest In
novation on the Northwestern Elevat-
ed railway, Chicago. The carrier
made it's first appearance the other
night and startled many patrons be-
tween the downtown district and
Evanston. Along the aisles on either
side is a line of enameled posts, from
floor to ceiling Each passenger is
Wedged in between two of these up
rights. This leaves no chance for a
passenger to be jostled against by his
neighbor. whether standing or sitting
Oficials of the road say the new ar.

among passengers. The uprights are
also expected to be a relief to the
Btrap-hanging patron.

Almost at the summit of the tower
has been placed a group of points that
resemble a huge garden rake. They
are bound together with bands of pure
copper. and heavy copper band leads
to a tank Of water in the ground.
