to know that the two features are
merely neighborss and not in any way
related.
Another correspondent takes excep-
tion to the mention of Marin county
and Mill Valley without accompanying
directions as to how to get there
Il have lived in San Francisco for
two years. he writes. Il know Oak
land and how to. get there. We read a
lot about Mill Valley and Marin county
Has it occurred to you that many OF us
would like to go there? Don't you think
It would be well to state for the benefit
of US newcomers how to get there?
What ferry shall we take and from
where does it start2"
All of which would seem to indicate
that San Francisco is getting to be
some big city of considerable distrac-
tion. 1t also shows that the Marin
county promotion committee did not
get to work minute too soon.

Here's a constructive suggestion"
such as he invited, for the new director
of the Southern Pacific's suburban
electric system. It has to do with the
single car trains now being operated
on the Berkeley lines. Before these
trains were reduced to one car every
train carried a smoker. In the single
car trains the NO Smoking sign Is the
most conspicuous interior decoration.

'rIas the next train one or two cars!'
inquired a commuter from Berkeley
station agent few days ago, because
If IT'S a single car I'm going on the
Key Route"
"Why?" asked the agent. WHATS
the matter with our. cars9'
Nothing with the cars, but | want
to smoke"
That's all right" the agent assured
him, "the conductor will let you smoke
If you sit up in front"
sure you can smoke said the con-
ductor, when the train came along, but
take one of the front seats
Profting by the knowledge thus ac-
quired, another commuter, who had
overheard these conversations, boarded
one of these single, no smoking cars
the other morning and took with him
a lighted cigar. He sat in the next
to the front seat and was barely settled
there when the conductor another one,
approached and said:
'I don't want to have any fuss, but
must ask you not to smoke in this car
1T may be inconvenient. but it will have
to be your inconvenience. There is no
smoker on. this train s
Being peaceably inclined, the passen-
ger complied with the request, but he
did feel hurt when he turned round
a few minutes after he had thrown
away his cigar and saw, across the
aisle from him, that same conductor
chatting with friend and paying no
attention to the fact that the friend
was putting vigorouslyEon much big
ger cigar than thessone the peaceable
man had thrown. away.

tn the United States district court here

KENYON OFFERS PLAN
TO STOP SUBTERFUGE

Washington. Oct. 21-Because the
railroads are transferring by wholesale
from he state to the federal courts
suits in which shippers seek damages
to shipments OIL losses Senator Kenyon
introduced In the Senate today an
amendment to the judicial code 20 pre-
vent this practice. The Carmack
amendment to the interstate commerce
law makes the initial carrier respon-
sible but the railroads are getting
around 1t by shifting cases into the fed
sral courts.
Fifty cases in Iowa have been so
transferred" said Senator Kenyon.
"Some of them are cases for the con-
sideration OF a justice Of the peace in
which $50 OF some small amount is
involved. OF purse the shipper can
not afford to follow the case into the
federal court and the suit is dropped.
1t Is to prevent such abuses that l have
introduced thea amendment. Talk about
hostility to the railroads.!
1T Is just such outrageous things as
this that makes me public indignant"
