for more cooperation.
Lower prices on several products

Let's Have Free Street Cars

While the public mind is being drawn to the question

being made East and West to the benefits Of three
cent fares in Cleveland encent fares in parts Of

away with street car fares entirely.

There really is injustice in present Of
trying to make railway system sesupportng through

nothing for they do not ride And they enjoy most benefits
from the system
The injustice would be should the parents of the

The Friendly Other Girl.
MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am nineteen years Of age, and
the man whom I go with is the same
age. We have been going together
for four and a half years. For the
past two years he has been coming
to see me every night except Satur-
day. and il possible he would come
then, but his work will not permit
him to do SO.
We are very much in love with
each other. OF course, we have
fuses once in a while. but you
know the old saying is. True love
never runs smooth" He will not
suggest getting married. as he
thinks he is too young. or course,
this may be true, but I think he
might say something to me about
It. Don't you?
The other night we were riding
about the city with his brother and
his girl. Everything went along
smoothly until she got out of the
machine to go in the house. and my
friend suggested that she might
give us a kiss before leaving. She
did.
Do you think he showed any
love for me? Do you think should
get mad about it?
Thanking you in advance, I am
q reader OF the Washington Times.

1t would seem better policy not
to get angry about the other girls
kiss, or at least not to show it if
you were human enough to get
mad"

that nineteen is too young for a
man to marry. But l suppose as
