Unframed Street Car Men
By EARL GOODWIN.

The increased number of street accidents Wash
ngton during the the subject of rather sarcastic
comment the part of the riding public and for that
may interest Washington In read what street
expert has to say about the street accidents
In the Electric Railway Journal for the current halfmonth
writer has compiled figures showing that most accidents
are due to the employment of unframed men. We had
enough of those here during the war, everyone knows
Another point of interest," says the writer, sis that
the most careful age is thyseven while the most acc
dents occurred to between the ages of twenty-five and
twentysx years and to fifty years of age The
experience at the Washington navy yard is similar, the
lower age limits being 16 to 20 and the higher limit CO.
The experience of of large steam railways has
been that the total annual labor turnover during the
increased from 80 to so per cent the damage equip
ment 100 per cent and 80 per cent of all accidents
chargeabe to who had been in the service less than
six months.
'These rough figures emphasize the need of thorough
training before the epoye is put at responsible post
of duty They also indicate that the careessness of youth
and the impaired physical faculties of older prolific
of accidents The figures therefore of interest to
employment agents in connection with the employment of
men for given service. For any railway a complete
scientific analysis of all accidents should yield invaluable
results both from administrative and monetary stand
point Along this line it may be noted that the experience
Of the Utilities Mutual Insurance Company of New York
has been that marked reductions in the accident compesa
tons Of utility have followed the employment of safety
expert On than electric railway in years
the portion of gross absorbed by accident claims
has been greater than that allotted to dividends Accident
claims certainly most unattractve type of disburse
ment and if the experience gained from abnormal
conditions will greatly reduce them the will have done
the industry at least one good turn.

I T is a pleasure to print the tol-
lowing letter in answer to one
from a man who wrote THIS
column a few days ago and signed
himself: Grand Turk" This gen.
tleman disapproved' of women IN
every capacity, except, perhaps IN
the administration of two Of Ger
many's K's-Children and Cook
ing. He announced if he had his
way, he would debar them from
the churches, except for marriage
and burial.
Grand Turks reason, if such a
term can be applied to such
mind, is that if women are given
rights to which they are entitled
by taxation, chivalry would depart
from men. A fancy price to pay
for that medieval commodity.
Grand Turk has been answered
by the daughter of famous Con-
federate leader, man whose mag
nihcent courage has become 4 ira
dition the world over. The lady's
answer is worthy of her illustrious
father, and is especially interest
ing at a time when the women OF
the South are in the thick of the
suffrage fight, realizing fully the
advantages that political equality
will give, cducationally and
economically.
We hope Grand Turk will prove
20 be a good sport and agree TO
provide for at least one woman.
but we doubt it, Grand Turks are
only too apt to live on the wages
of some hard working women.

GRAND TURK ROUTED.

One feels that the sprightly
young person signing herself
Laura" is quite capable of man
aging her own affairs. In look
ing over her letter, I have a notion
that, despite differences in rank,
the second lieutenant, with the
dimples and gorgeous brown eyes,
will be taking orders from the yeo-
woman who doubtless has equal
advantages in the way of eyes and
dimples. l don't know about the
"Georgettes" getting all the atten-
ton, these flimsy snares are an
old, old story, but the smart, neat,
yeowoman is a delightful innova-
ton.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Having been in Washington sew
eral months, / find II anything but
lonesome. as so many OF the war
workers have, for I have met quite
a few young men, and they have
shown me an awfully nice time.
Now I am engaged TO a man in
France, and would not allow my
self to get interested in anyone
else until recently, when I met a
man who means a great deal TO
me. ! think a great deal OF him.
and l am quite sure that the feel
ing is rec!procated. Until the time
that met him not one OF the young
men meant anything to me, but
since | have met him. find myself
wishing for the evening to come
that he is to see me.
Here is my reason for asking
The Washington times., 1919-02-11

Especially for Washington Women

your advice-he is married-and |
myself think IL wrong TO go around
with a married man, but since get
real pleasure out OF being in his
company-what shall l do?
BETTY.
When a man is married there is
only two words of advice to be
given to a good girl. and they are
Forget him." In the first place,
she is attempting to appropriate
another woman's property, and
that isn't honest. She is sowing
the wind, as far as her own
chances of happiness are con-
cerned, and in due time she will
reap the whirlwind. There is al
ways an amount of nauseating
publicity connected with these ir-
regular affairs that is almost i'm
possible to live down, and that
hurts the innocent in a family as
we'll as the guilty. Besides, why
revile the Germans for their
"scrap Of paper" infamy, and then
apply the same tactics to ones
private life? A marriage certifi-
cate is a "scrap of paper"-a
highly important one.
4 Choice of Two Girls.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
Ny girl friend and am uor-
ried. we are in love with the sams
man, he has been showing e.ch OF
us great deal of attention for
some time. We are conflden, he
knows no girls Of whom he ti;iaks
more. we have been friends from
childhood. and each have grown 20
love him dearly. or course We
realize that he will have to rele {
the girl Of his choice sooner or
later. In the meantime what shall
we do, go on encouraging his atten-
tions and making il harder for IIl
concerned or let the future take
care OF itself?
WORRIED CHUNS.
Without meaning to do so, you
have put this young man in a very
unfavorable light. If be has been
equally attentive to both of you, 1t
looks as il be were iudulgipg in
rather an ignoble form OF sport,
that of pitting two old friends
against each other for his own
amusement. Why not take the
matter into your own hands and
decline to be pawns on this young
mans chess board? ! should GER
tainly not quarrel with a lifelong
friend on his account, when he
marries it will probably be some
one neither Of you has ever heard

NEW PLAN TO PAY FOR BONDS
diers Continue Payments
Through Banks.

Washington, March %. - Some
means of transferring Liberty bond
installment payment accounts OF dis
charged soldiers to banks where the
subscribers can continue payments in
civil life are under discussion between
the war department and the treasury.
This action is prompted by the forced
cancellation of millions of dollars Of
subscriptions made by soldiers who on
discharge find 1t impossible to pay the
entire balance on their account at
once. Consequently they are com
PEELED to abandon their subscriptions
and to accept a refund of the Install
ment payments which already have
been taken from their monthly pay.
