SIGHT SEEING CARS
NOT PUBLIC UTILITIES
Corporation Counsel Declares
Automobiles Do Not Come
Within Province Of Service
Commission.

Sightseeing automobiles do not come
within the supervision of the Public
Utilities Commission, according to an
opinion of Conrad H. Syme. general
counsel Of the commission, submitted to
that body today. Such vehicles. MIR.
Syme says, are q convenience to the

''The fundamental principle upon
which our public utility law and all
other public utilities laws rest Is that
when a certain property Is used in a
sequence and affects the community at
large, such property becomes clothed
with q public interest. and must SUBJ

good to the extent of the public In

tion Counsel.

German Women To
Take Mems Offices
Must. Be Fitted to ccupy Places
Of Those at Front, Says
Dernburg.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1l.--Dr. Bern
hard Dernburg. formerly German sec
retary of state for the colonies, toll
meeting of the German american
committee of the woman suffrage
party in Aeolian Hall that the w"r
will result probably in the appoint
ment of women to certain public Of
.ices in Germany. He predicted the
compulsory civic education Of German
women to match the compulsory mill
tary education Of German men.
"When the Kaiser called 5000, 900
men to arms" said Dcrnburg. there
was some small degree OF natural ap-
prehension as to the way their daily
tasks. would be carried on. 1t was
the duty Of the women Of Germany
tically In every occupation.
''Of course. there was fear the wom-
en- would not be equal to the task.
Would the women show themselves
capable or would they fail? The ques-
sitter @ the 5000. e.oo6 We're callei OUT.
Women took their places on the street
cars and other vehicles OF public con
veyance. and traffic went on exactly
as usual. In shops. factories and ~
was performed with the greatest sat.
isfaction by women.
"Of course. politics is something to
which women are not always natural
ly attracted. and these women in
places of public trust did not do SO
well as II they had been specially
trained for IT.
Thus it is that l feel that when
the war is over the realization Of the
possibilities shown by these women In
war will show to the empire the need
Of special training for women along
civic lines"

relative to business conditions. He said
This country has had its full share

European war has nothing to do with
it. Conditions are worse now than for
many years and until this condition Is
recognized by the present Government

The Veil as a Symbol.

1T has been pointed out that, as q
u portion of feminine attire. the veil
is almost symbolic. The bridal veil is
an interesting survival of the ancient
custom of holding a canopy over the
bride at her wedding, a ceremony still
observed at Jewish marriages.
Simpler in character, but no less
beautiful in effect, is the veil of the
young girl worn at her confirmation.
symbolizing as 1t does the modesty and
simplicity of the maiden about to en-
ter on the responsibilities of maturity.
In the veil Of the novice we find a
survival of the wimple OF the Norman
women. while certain orders Of nuns.
such as the Kilburn Sisters. follow
faithfully the custom of the early
Plantaganet court in the way in which
they pin the veil to the sides of their
linen caps. In just such a fashion was
the Plantagenet wimple fastened to the
chin band.
In the east the yashmak signifies all
that is subservient and dependent in
the lives of the women. For q woman
to appear unveiled before man is to
put herself beyond the pale.
So, east or west, the veil holds its
own, from the yashmak to the motor
veil, from the christening veil to the
wimple Whatever antiquity may have
to say as to it's origin. 1t is suspected
that 1t owes it's adoption in the first
place to the fact that 1t Is universally
becoming.
