BEAT STREET CAR COMPANIES
Standard of Height Set for Children
Does Not Always Work Out
With Exact Justice.

'Tn cities where the street car com
panies attempt to determine the age
of child by it's height some pretty
complications ensue," said the travel
ing salesman. "Forty-one inches has
been established as the average height
of child Of FIVE years. but the injus-
tice of that rule is frequently dem-
onstrated in cities with large fer
eign population.
"Into the car OF western city
whose street railway has adopted the
forty-one-inch gauge came a child
carrying three books. His mother re-
fused to pay fare.
"Tf that kids under five what's he
doing with all those books?' the con-
ductor demanded.
"rhe mother was serene In her
right. Measure him and see, she
said.
"He marched the child UP to the
door jamb. The youngster fell a
quarter of an inch below the topmost
notch.
"'Seyen, If he's day. the conduc-
tor growled; but she evades payment
because of his nationality. He's Ital-
ian. and Italians run small. On the
measurement basis half the Italian
children could ride free till they are
twelve years old
'In that same town they have a
large Bulgarian and Greek population.
They are mostly understood. A Swede,
on the other hand, would overtop the
mark so much that even birth GER
tificate would not entitle him to a
free ride"
