LITTLE WORRIES IN ENGLAND
Ladies' Demand Separate Compart-
ments on Trains, and Then Re-
fuse to Use Them.

They are having a little difficulty on
English railroads. Some few years ago
number of indignant spinsters said
that it was a foul outrage that wom-
en- should be required to travel in the
same compartments with men, and
although the railroad officials knew
well that nothing short of staff OF
police could compel women to travel
anywhere else, thoy acceeded to the
demand and attached the ladies
only" label to the requisite number
of compartments. But now comes
new complication, and this time the
complaint is from the men. Traffic
has increased enormously, the trains
are crowded, and the straphanger has
become an institution. But why, ask
the men, should we hang to straps,
why should we be packed like her
rings in barrel, while the compart-
ments reserved for women are prac-
tically empty? For that is the fact.
The women will not travel in the
compartments reserved for them.
They would rather form part of the
perspiring multitude in the general
compartment than use the accommo-
dation that has been especially re-
served for them. Now IL a man ven-
lures to invade a ladies only" COM
partment he is speedily reminded Of
his transgression by the stern hand
of authority. But the woman may
invade the smoker, and does invade
it, and has even been known to de-
mand the extinction of all pipes and
cigars.
An experienced conductor, whose
name is wisely concealed, says that
women like to avoid "the frigid ST.
lence of ladies only compartment.
where the window is adjusted accord
ing to the scowls of the occupants,
for the pleasanter company to be
found among men. Women enjoy
playing the part Of a listener to the
conversation in a mems or mixed COM
partment, and their vanity is gratified
by the little courtesies that are paid
to them"

Want Two Engineers on Trains.

One of the important measures to
be introduced in the next Connecticut
legislature is measure to provide
that there shall be two engineers for
every fast express train in this state
The bill has the backing of the labor
unions and has for its chief argument
that 1t would be conducive to public
safety and would save the railroad
company much money in life and
property damages. The expense, 1t is
argued, can be looked at only in the
light of low price for a great public
benefit.
Where there are two engineers. one
man could not interpret signals alone
could not drive recklessly and could
not go to sleep. 1t was pointed out.

BANKERS SHOULD ADVERTISE
Newspaper the Shortest and Most Di-
rect Route to All Glasses
of People.

Newspaper advertising Is pretty
generally known to be the best ad-
vertising, but it is worth while to have
the fact emphasized by a man who
not only has found out by experience.
but acts upon his knowledge.
In Moody's Magazine Mr.. r. L. Cur
ney, manager of the savings depart
ment of a prominent financial insti-
tuition, tells why newspaper space Is
most useful to bankers and others. He
says:
THE newspaper is now a control
ling, likewise a compelling, factor in
the life of every man and woman, and
we ought really to include every boy
and girl, for children nowadays are
omnivorous readers. The shortest
and most direct route to the attention
of all classes is the newspaper col
umn, for 1t is daily scanned by bust
ness men, professional men, mechan-
les, artisans-all alike. Men, women.
too, want their favorite paper the very
they crave the news served up red
hot"
All buyers of space constantly are
urged to invest in mediums other
than the daily press. These Mr. Cur
ney characterizes as advertising
lemons" Daily perusal of the news
papers has come to be an essential
part of the days activities to virtually
all who are able to read. A person so in.
different to the progress of the worlds
events as not to read the newspapers
is not likely to be a desirable Gus
toner.
