WHY IT'S BLUE MONDAY

When the average man is gallant on
Monday something Is sure TO happen,
Harry Craig, who commutes from Goth
and Market streets saw an old woman
drop a glove today and stopped to pick 1t
up. As he reached for the glove his eye
glasses fell to the floor. The woman was
about to step off the car at 18th street
and a seconds delay would have made 1t
too late TO reach her The gallant pas
senger let the glasses lay and handed the
woman her glove.
The delay was fatal. A drowsy passen-
ger suddenly realized that the door was
about TO close at his station. He jumped
up and used Craigs glasses for door
mat. The only thing discernible on the
floor was the frame. Even this was
twisted pathetically,
Craig looked at the passenger with the
powerful feet in a way which made words
impossible,
"You had no right 10 leave your glasses
on the floor" growled the man.
1t will cost the gallant Craig $50 TO
repair the damage. In the gloom that
followed he rode three stations past his
exit point
