IN Y friend, Hep Hardy, presented
l1 me with a neat little gold ham
me day before yesterday. Why, I
don't know.
But now that / have it l might as
well use It.
Every time / hop into one Of those
roomy. comfortable street cars in a
city OF the second, third OF even
fourth class l Immediately contrast 1t
with the wood boxes we use in New
York, and / find myself growing red
In the face and biting my nails.
Those SQueezer cars that prowl the
streets OF New York are surely the
breathless limit, aren't they?
The Squeezer car is the best genteel
imitation Of a rough-house that has
ever been invented.
They are called %Squeezers because
the conductor has to let the passen-
gers out with a a opener.
Brave and strong men climb into
a street car, and they are full of health
and life and vigor, but a few blocks
of the road they fall out backward and
inquire feebly for a sanitarium.
To ride on a Broadway street car,
for instance, about eight o'clock of IN
evening brings out all that is in a
man, including a lot of loud words he
didn't know he had.
The last census shows us that the
street cars in the city of New York
have ways of producing nervous
prostration and palpitation of the
brain to the square inch than the
combined population of Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, Tinkerdam and Gotterdam-
merung.
To get in some Of the street cars
about SIX o'clock is a problem, and to
get out again is an assassination.
One evening recently / rode from
Forty-second street to Fifty-ninth
street without once touching the floor
with my feet.
Some Of the New York street cars
lead q double life, because they are
used all winter to act the part Of re-
f~rigerators.
It is a cold day when we cannot
ind it colder in the street cars.
The germs in our street cars are ex-
tremely sociable and will follow a
stranger all the way home.
Often while riding in the New York
street car / have felt a germ rubbing
against my ankle like, a kitten. Being
gentleman, at least specifically, I
did not reach down and kick 1t away,
because the law says we must not be
d~isrespectful to dumb brutes.
Many of these street cars are built
on the same general plan as a can
Of condensed milk.
When you get out you cannot get in,
and when you get in you cannot get
out, because you hate to disturb the
strange gentleman that Is using your
knee to lean over.
Between the seats there is q space

Shanghai, June 3.-Several hun
dred shippers and officers belonging
to the China Coast Officers Guild are
on strike because the China coast
steamship companies, with the excep-
tion of the China Merchants Steam
Navigation Company, have refused to
recognize their guild and grant an
increase Of wages 1t is estimated by
the guild that one hundred and two
vessels in the China coast trade be-
loning to the China Navigation Co.
and the lndo-China Steam Naviga-
tion Co, have been forced into idle
ness by this strike.
rFreights all over the Far East are
greatly affected by the action of the
officers, virtually all of whom are
English. The navigation companies
have charged the guild with being
unpatriotic in takin such action at
a time when the entente allies are In
need of shipping facilities.
Members of the guild at sea were
advised by wireless of the strike,
and ordered to take their ships into
the nearest port and leave them
there.

DEGREE CONFERRED

Paris, June "a post-humous de-
gree of Doctor of Letters has been
conferred upon Pierre-Maurice Mas
son. head of the faculty of letters of
Fribourg, Switzerland, who was
killed in action on April 16. Second
Lieutenant Of Infantry in the French
army since the beginning of the war,
Monsieur Mason was to have pre-
sented his thesis on THE Religion
of Jean Jacques Rousseau" on March
4. Retained at the front around Yer
dun, he was unable to leave his regi-
ment ON the date fixed and six weeks
later he was dead.
Masson's thesis contained inter-
esting preface written in the trench
es, as follows:
ut may appear impertinent or
frivolous to amuse ones self-correct-
ing proofs while coming back from
the advanced lines and to still think
of books when 1t is the life of the
nation that is at stake. l have
thought of that more than once. We
must not, however be scandalized to
excess. When my men have passed a
night on the watch in the barbed-
wire entanglements and when they
go back into their forest, they relax
into the genius of the arts of peace;
they carve canes. design gardens,
tame and train animals, turn them
selves into silversmiths to carve or
form jewels out of the shells that
have missed US. |, have followed
their example: | have not fed from
the diversion that offered itself to
me, and this book will have been for
me, so to speak, like the souvenir
rings that the men carve in the

AMERICANS TO GET PERSIAN
TRADE MUST ADOPT METHODS
OF THE PERSIANS
(By Associated Press. }

Berlin, June 3 3.-America now has
remarkably favorable opportunity
to secure the lions share of the Per-
sian trade, but American business
men must adapt their methods to
Persian customs or they will fail, ac-
cording to DR.. Ernst Zahn, a Leip-
zig authority on Persia and the Per-
slams.
DR.. Zahn quoted with approval
from consular report made by the
American vice consul at Teheran in
which 1t is declared that the Amer
ican business men must reconcile
themselves to granting longtime
credits, and that business cannot be
properly done by correspondence, but
must be looked after by personal rep
resentatives.
DR.. Zahn found feeling among
the Persians, he said, that the Amer
ican methods were brusk and failed

toms and sensibilities of the people.
This was particularly true, he de-
| clared, as to American methods of
collecting accounts and the refusal
to grant long credits. This latter,
DR.. Zahn declared, is looked upon by
the average Persian as denoting per-
sonal distrust of his honesty. Nor
must the Persian be hurried. Time is
not money in the American sense of
hustle.
DR. Zahn said he understood that
the American department of com
merce and Labor is assisting in the
securing and distributing OF German
catalogues of firms formerly doing
business in Persia, and he declared
this is a very practical idea, for he
points out that the Germans had
made great progress toward winning
the Persian market. Their exports
consisted principally of finer textile
wares, iewelry, toys and clothing.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has suspended until Nov. IA, the
proposed increase in rates on lumber
in carloads from North Pacific points
to destinations in Oklahoma, Texas

charged that in tead of collecting the
rate on paper boxes shipped by Jol-
let firm, the railroad accepted low
er rate, which applied to a straw
board.

Peking, June 8 Marking is now
prominently mentioned as the posi-
BILE place for the meeting of the par
lament which is to be convened
within three months. 1t is rumored
also that the new cabinet will revive
the national assembly which Yuan
Shi-kai abolished in 1913 and restore
the members of both bodies of that
organization, thus making it unnec-
essary to hold another election, No
official announcement has been made
by the government on this subject,
but such a plan is known to be un-
der consideration.
Tuan Chi-jui. the new premier and
minister of war, has telegraphed to
the military governors of all the
provinces outlining the powers of the
new cabinet. His dispatch reads, in
part, as follows:
THE new government is more of
transitional character than mill
tary So that it may be termed tran
sitlonal cabinet specially established
for the settlement of the internal
strife between the North and the
South The cabinet was formed
without the participation of southern
leaders on account OF the fact that
mono of those persons proposed orig
inally for the various ministries
agreed to come up to Peking.
