CAREY FOR SUBWAYS

Thomas Carey, Democratic candi-
date for Mayor, proposed to the City
Council that an ordinance be enacted
providing for the building of thirty
FIVE miles of city owned and operated
subways. He would use the city's
$25,000,000 traction fund.
TIL communication was referred to
the committee on local transportation.
Carey, in his letter, says the work
could be performed by city labor for
81 zoo, 900 per mile instead of an esti'
mated 100000.
He estimates that the traction fund
will be increased $10,000,O00 within
the next mayoralty term, and with the
amount now in the fund sufficient
money would be available for con-
structing tubes extending out into the
three divisions of the city.
Cars for the subways would be
owned by the city and city employees
would operate them.

WoMAN's CITY CLUB OF CHICAGO
116 South Michigan Avenue.

ITO ooutV WICUl8dV fNNcUuSs
January 2S, 1919.
To the Editor of the Chicago Eagle:
The women of Chicago are startled
by the small number of women who
are registered. According to the
last United States census there are
over 100000 women eligible to regis
ter in Chicago. and only 190,22S ac-
tually on the polling lists. This is
less than one.third.
Representatives of most of the larg-
est women's clubs in the city met in
the rooms of the Political Equality
League Monday afternoon to discuss
the situation. The consensus of opin-
ion was that the reason for this small
registration was the fact that not suf-
fcient emphasis had been laid upon
the necessity of registering to make
the women realize its Importance.
We therefore urge your paper to print
an article in regard to registration, or
II possible, to run in headlines the
following:
Register, February 4th.
II you are not registered you may
not vote for mayor and alderman.
Do not be a citizen slacker-Be a citi.
| zen voter.
II you would prefer to run an article
on the Importance Of registration we
will be glad to furnish 1t to you.
Thanking you for your cooperation,
I am,
Cordially yours,

The city claims the ownership OF
the streets from lot line to lot line
and all distractions on the sidewalks
from news stands to snow are there
with its permission. It rents space on
sidewalks at its own sweet will. II
should, therefore, keep the sidewalks
as well as the rest of the streets clean.
But 1t does not. The money that the
city should spend on the cleaning Of
dirty sidewalks is wasted on 100000

The Teuton5 agree to the provision
that their army shall number but

their war fleet but they insist that
they be allowed to retain number OF
the shipping vessels. They also claim
that there should be no change OF

Germany Wants Plebistice.
Germany particularly wants ple-
biscite held in upper Silesia, east and
west Prussia, Memel and Danzig. Dan

They demand that all allied troops be

No change was reported in the
situation regarding the closing of the
Little Giant company plant today.
All the men who left their work

VOLUNTEER TRAFFIC OFFICER
Plan to Be Put In Practice BY Mayor
e. v. Waters.

Mayor E. v. Waters is. planning to
put into practice the system of hav-
ing volunteer policemen on duty to
regulate the traffic according to his
announcement today. The mayor states
that it is impossible for one traffic
officer or all the police force COM
bined in fact, to keep close check
on fast driving, particularly in the
outskirts and residence districts OF
the city.
Accordingly he plans to have the
councilman recommend the names OF
three suitable men from each ward
who he will swear in as special Off
GERS to regulate the traffic without
pay. The mayor believes that public
spirited citizens will be willing to do
this and in such manner the traffic
problem would be reduced to a mini
mum of danger.
