 most inhuman creatures I have ever seen. As for the motorcyclists, well, just think they are too unspeakable for words; I don't think they should be allowed on any congested thoroughfare, but relegated to streets unfrequented by traffic and pedestrians"
 Saving of time is matter of impor- tance to all business people, the second speaker observed, Ito whom time is money, and it is of no less importance to women who go shopping or market ing, and this thing of transferring and making all sorts of changes and getting to where your transfer car is just start ing from the opposite corner from where you are and you couldn't catch it if your life depended upon it, and all that sort of thing, is enough to run anybody crazy, much less being the most terrific con- sumer of time.

"The Stacker" Deals
 With Big Problem

Only three more days remain i'll which to see "The Stacker" the big patriotic picture drama now showing at the Rialto.
 "The Stacker" has had one of the remarkable attendance runs of motion picture productions. Wherever it has been shown, and especially in the large cities, the theatres have been unable to accommodate the crowds. It is picture which deals with the big problems now confronting the govern ment-that of dealing with those who would evade military duty.

 One thing that the two feminine mar tyrs agreed upon heartily, and that was that in the congested districts down. town the street cars should stop on both sides of the street.
 Said the first speaker:
 T have stood many minutes on downtown corner when 1 was in the greatest possible hurry to catch a car and couldn't get to the other side of the street on which it stopped to save my life, and then when it came to the cor ner I was standing on, the car whizzed by like flying machine.
