SUBWAY COURTESY AGAIN
How q Woman Views Male Con
duct Regarding Seats.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I had long contemplated contribute
few remarks on subway courtesy 70 T
Tribune'5 page. The letter on this subje''
in the number of November Pc puts the 50
to nv intention. I, too, came few years 40
as a stranger to New York, and transeribe
my unbiased impressions.
The New York man has a method all his
own of sitting in the subway. BY spreading
out his lower limbs at acute angles as he
sits reading his paper or meditating, he oc-
cupies the space of several persons.
When some woman hangs on strap ODD
front of him his absolute unawareacss Is %
fine art. To condense his anatomy into more
compact form, to gather his limbs together
and move along never occurs to him. Al
most always two or three thin, conscientiou'
women near him hudde together their al
ready cramped proportions in a desperate
endeavor to make place for their sister SUI
ferer.
Occasionally -oh. how rarely!-a man does
rise and courteously offer his seat 10 some
woman. Ny observation records that tn's
noliteness is usually gratefully acknowledged
by an audible Thank YOU or by nod OF
the head. II in any case a woman does not
acknowledge such courtesy it IS doubtless
because she is so astonished at its uneH'
pectedness as to be speechless. Almost par
alvzed by this extraordinary masculine a.
tention. She sinks breathless into the prov
fered seat.
But the average middle-aged or young
New York woman in my opinion, neither e1-
poets nor desires man in the subway
offer her his seat. She only asks that me-
instead of occupying the places Of two men
or of three women, bring his widely dlyers'
ing knees together. thus giving TO other pas
sengers the space which by right belongs "
them.

Sir: Can nothing be done about it Mr.

policy. Twenty-eight weeks, as "The sun

TAKING THINGS SERIOUSLY.
Detroit Free press. )

ADStrolI Free fTSsS.J
 Certain questions arise in the minds of the thoughtful these days. How is this war. though 5000 miles away. af- fecting the great mass of our people Is 1t sobering us? Is a new sincerity being born into the world? Despite it's distance, the knowledge that the great nations of the world are engaged 10 q finish cannot fail 10 have an ef- feet upon us.
 The world has had an overdose of imperialism. and It's present tendency is toward democracy. The first step of democracy Is simplicity. and sim piicity indicates greater sincerity and hence the doing away with shams.
 There are visible evidences that Am erica Is abandoning some of it's shams We do not put all our goods in the Iront windows. Poker--the game ot uluff--has been largely replaced by bridge. which demands skill and strat- egy. The breadth of shoulder furnish ed by the tailor. which contrasted odd ly enough with inadequate cranial development. has gone out with false hair and glass diamonds. Our fashions are more simple. we live more for ourselves and less for the public eye. our houses are more genuine, there Is less Queen Anne front and Mary Ann back" and We use them instead ot shutting a part away as sacred show faces for guests. The gingerbread work"-the painted tin and wooden scroll ornamentation once favored-has disappeared. Many of the new houses nave their porches and gardens at the rear instead of in front. to be seen by men. The simpler lines of colonial architecture, which came to Us from the English countryside. are more and more replacing the forid styles that once satisfied Americans in architec- ture.
 We cannot ascribe this change m public taste entirely 10 the war. which IS a matter too recent. The change has been Il growth. but its fruits seem to stand out more noticeably in the pre3- ent. That the general seriousness oc- casioned by the shadow cast upon us by the great conflict, and the demands upon our sympathies and our aid. nave accented our inclination to be rid of shams can hardly be denied. It Is a feeling that 1t pays to encourage When we acquire more sincerity-more gen uineness--in our private lives. 1t may. perhaps, have an influence upon public affairs.

SORROW, NOT SHOCK.

So replete are these days with alarms and excursions' that almost we have passed beyond amazement and men walking like trees" can surprise us no more.
 An English writer describes the war as the greatest world event since the flood. and remarks pathetically that people are beginning to accept the war almost as a matter of course. thus intimating that the magnitude of op- erations deserves better attention. that our hair should remain on end from day to day and that our nights should be harried with mental confusion and dis .quietude.
 He might have continued at length and pointed out that tho flood, from the newspaper point of view. Is far inferior to, the war. since the most sen- sationai reports would have enjoyed but limited circulation. and as for the real inside" news, Noah had 1t all.
 While here, with thirteen nations at war. and with plentiful representatives of each and all of the thirteen in our midst, thirsting ever for news by day and by night and ceasing not from their thirsting. the melting pot is never really. so to speak, off the boil.
 Interested we all are, and must be since the whole human race Is one in ideal and effort, but astonished we re- fuse to be. We can be content to sit back slightly and sadly and watch the horrors. Perforce we think about them, and of all the good men scattered to a

WRITERS ARE BIG EATERS.
(London Chronicle.)

Fasting may be good for some men. but il seems necessary that in order to write we'll one should possess a hearty appetite and satisfy 1t. Fielding. Thackeray. Macauley. Dickens and Browning were all good eaters. SD were Goethe and Leasing, Hugo. Flaubert and Zola. As for Balzac. his normal dinner at the Cafe Very, Paris, con- sisted of eight dozen oysters, twelve cutlets, a duckling. a pair of part ridges, a sole and the usual balance of lesser dainties. Balzac's capacity for hard work was only equaled by Ma poleon's, yet Napoleon ate sparingly.
 One big meal a day may be suffi- cient, but even its advocates probably would admit that an occasional snack during the rest of the day is necessary. Long distance athletes know that strenuous physical work necessitates stoking at frequent intervals. Little and often Is the mottof or the long distance cyclist, for instance. He keeps his big meal for the end of the day. but he knows that the hunger knock"
 Is the worst form of fatigue, and he nibbles as he goes to guard against 1t.

Shoes after the first heavy drill fell apart, disclosing the use Of materials much less substantial than leather. uniforms were reduced by few days wear to Falstaffian tatters, tie seams opening and yawning holes appearing at the knees and elbows. Canada, on a small CT scale, and perhaps other countries on as large a scale, are having the same experience we had with contrac- tors during the civil war. These thieves caused the national debt unnecessarily 70 be increased by huge sums. Millions were stolen on fraudulent vouchers. Even a contractor engaged In the hu- mane work of transporting wounded from one railroad station to another in New York used to charge for three times as many as he carried. Inferi- ority in equipment and ammunition may explain some of the defeats of life under circumstances akin to Inur- der, in our war. Severe sentences on offenders ended the reign of graft in 1S63-64

AN ELECTRIC RATTLEs1lP.
indianapolis News.)

The nrst electric battleship will be added to the United States navy in two years. It is the California. which Is to be built at the Brooklyn navy yard at a cost of $7.000.000 It will also be the largest baItleship yet built for our nayy--624 feet long and 97 feet wide, with 6 displacement of 32,000 tons and 6 speed of twenty -one knota It's main battery will be twelve fourteen-inch guns. It will have 6 torpedo defense battery. which the European war has shown to be of great importance. This battery will have twenty-two tive-inch guns. inventors have long dreamed of an electric battleship. With the Cali fornia this will be realized. and with IL we lead the world, just as We led il by the device of central fire-that Is. having the heavy guns over the keel instead of the sides--a device that new European battleships have copied. The application of electricity ]. has already proved to be a success in the results obtained with the electric collier Jupiter. which was the first electrically operated ship. In the Cali fornia there will be no directly con- uected turbines. The power will be transmitted to the four screw propel- aers through slow w-speed motors, which will relieve much of the strain on the crankahaft. The electric power install. iation will consist of two seperate plants. each furnishing power for two screws If desirable. the ship can be operated on one generator.

gplsoN,s WORDS OF WisooM.

,From the Philadelphia lnQuirS.)
 Thomas A. Edison, who was 6S years old on February Il. says that birth days are coming too fast for him now, but that he keeps SO busily employed that he does not have much time to think of these recurring anniversaries But 1t Is quite evident that he finds time to think of other things. and he utsrs some words of wisdom that may be prohtably considered by those who are responsible for the public welfare. lie says that we nave been having too many laws, state and national. and that this flood of ill-considered and frequently unnecessary statutes has had the effect of paralyzing the men who are oepenoed upon 10 get capital, start things going and furnish employ ment. lie says that the last three ad- m,nistrations made the mistake of en- couraging the passage of too many iaws ettecting business, too many iaws--and too many visits from the at torney generals office" There is scarcely business man anywhere who will not indorse the truthfulness of thess words The results of this ex- perimenting are to be seen on all sides. A copy of Mir. Edisons words should De sent to every member Of congress ana to each of the lawmakers ill the various state leXislatures.

CONSERVING HEALTH.
Seattle P.-I.)

The medical fraternity in recent years has shown some disposition to share with the public an elementary knowledge of human diseases and their prevention. Advice as to household hygiene, the diet, the care and protec- ton of the body, and simple rules for health have aroused some protection. Encouraged by these results. there is now growing movement to educate the public in health and life conserva- ton by making use of the common schools as centers for tho dissemina- ton of such knowiedee to parents and the public generally.
 At Rochester. N. r.. the plan has be- como known as the Live Little Lon- ger" movement A doctor and a nurse aive regular lectures and demonstra- sions. Information Is given as to what to do in emergencies, proper food for sick and well, the care of children and ] kindred topics. The classes are taught tu tho public schools between the hours of and (, after the close of school. and membership Is confined to persons over IS years old, the larger portion of tho students. of course. being women. The full course consists of twelve les- eons and these are given at the rate of two week for six weeks. The war; ious schools arc served in rotation.and the small cost is borne by the school districts.
 It is stated that 1.7Oo people die every day by preveutabie diseases and that l,S0o.OOO are sick from preventable causes. largely from lack of health education. There Is no question that man has neglected the human machine and that the importance of preserving it at its best has not been needed. The
