HINTS FOR CERTAIN TRAVELLERS.

Don't be courteous in public conveyances, or people will think you
are poor.
If a gentleman old enough to be your grandfather gets up to give
you a seat, don't thank him, because you are doing him a favor. His
legs would get stiff sitting so long.
If you get a seat alone in one of our close communion street cars
with cross seats that are supposed to accommodate two, always turn
your knees toward the window. This will give you enough room be-
tween you and the side of the car for a halfgrown setter pup which you
may have struggled into the ar, but will not leave sufficient room on
the other side for anything but the hangover of your moeskin. It's the
big idea; . try 1t.
These suggestions, studiously observed, show that you know things.
J. N. L.
The month of May, 1919, developed the fact that a man can fly
across the ocean quicker than he a get a phone call.
Perhaps it's far better
1t may be the worst
But after this month
See America thirst.

ing admission to the American Federation of Labor. They seek
TO put themselves in position to deal with the managers and the
theatrical trust. They insist on eight performances a week, and
if they go on the stage on Sunday they want one of the week
day matinees cut out. By union they can better their condition
and can do so without abrdging their dignity. Theirs NAV be A
professional union, while following trade union rules. The doc
