Strap Hangers In Tokyo.

After one has ridden for a few weeks
on Tokyo trans he realizes that more
than 2,O00O00 people. living within 4
radius Of three miles OF the imperial
palace. require many trans to carry
them. Seats are always ut a premium.
Even the New York subway is not as
continually crowded. The trans are
fast. well handled and plenteous, but a
moving stairway or sidewalk covering
all the tram lines in the city. would
scarcely fill the bill. s..5s 8..
There are 1--we or six stations from
which trains depart for different parts
Of the empire, but these stations are
only Joined by city trans. SO that II

I tn. Broken Broker.


The late Judge Pennypacker of Phil.
adelphia was an advocate of the en-
reimbursement Of woman. but he also
advocated justice in the relationship
between the sexes for man.
Woman" he said whimsically one
day at the Pennsylvania Historical So
ciety, mustn't playit both ways. She
mustn't get the vote and the equal
wage through mans sense OF equity
and then get all kinds of unfair privi-
leges through his sense Of gallantry.
There's alot Of truth In the story OF
the young broker who after his failure
was thrown over BY a pretty girl.
"'Why was the engagement broken
OFF, a banker asked the ruined broker.
WELL he answered, after I'd given
her = string or pearls, an opera box
and q birthday gift OF q twelve cylin-
der limousine I went to smash, and her
people accused me OF amusing myself
at her expense "-Baltlmore Sun.

pose Of allowing Bills and, taking up

E. c. Baum made an offer to the city

Mr.. Baum, we understand. is to pro-

Baldwin barn, this property having
recently been purchased by Mr.. Baum.
A number OF citizens were present
and requested that the city establish
sidewalk grades adjoining their prop.
erty and these matters were turned
over to Mr.. Frank Woolston, the city's
engineer, who is to make report to
them in the near future .......--.. ~. s
A delegation of citizens residing on
prominent thoroughfares appealed to
the members of the council to pass an
ordinance regulating the speed of ai-
tomobiles and motorcycles and to en-
force it rigidly. Since the laying Of
the pavement last summer certain
streets have been used by motorists
of pedestrians. 1t might be we'll too
for the. council to consider the matter
Of the parking OF cars on streets in
the business section. At present cars
are parked along the curbing and on
busy days it is almost impossible for
q car to drive up in front OF a store
to let out passengers. 1t has been
suggested that the council pass an or
dinance prohibiting the parking of
cars on Main and Broadway at the
curb in the business section OF the
city and that space be marked off In
the center II the streets where ma
chimes could be left. Both streets
are wide, enough to permit parking of
cars in the center and by SO doing the
traflic would be divided, making it
safer for pedestrians. g.
Since Monday the council has been
meeting as q board Of review, check
ing over the books OF Assessor H. A.
Norman. The council is well pleased
with the work of the assessor and few
errors have been found in his work.
It will be the last of the week before
the work Is completed. s,.-.-
