Ticket Sales at High Mark

With the sale of subway and az"

Frank Hedley, president Of the l. R. T.

the lessening of congestion on plat

ing which the transportation lines Of
New York suffer from the greatest
congestion--in the weeks Immediately
preceding Christmas Day and especially
on the Mondays of these weeks.
Monday always is the heaviest day
of the week in all our local trans.
portation lines. This is accounted for
IN several ways--bargain days at the
department. stores, which always at
tract the women folks; the return of
thousands of persons from weekend,
out of-town trips; and the more i'm
portant fact that nearly everyone
tries to be at his place Of business on
the first day of the business week.
The figures of the subway and ~
ticket sales, while invariably higher
on Mondays, may be a bit misleading.
The thinking business man, the clerk,
the shop girl and others, generally
buy their weeks supply of tickets on
Monday, thus greatly increasing the
grand total bought and used that day.

 Long had been the ambition of the foremost minds of Rome that literature should be produced which should rival the splendor of Greek letters. The poet Virgil seemed Co fulfil this national ambition.

M Guichof ascribes this peaceful internal condition and the opposition in Bulgaria to anarchistic or com munist propaganda to the fact that the majority of the Bulgarian people, S5 per cent, are peasants, owners of their own land and homes. This is sufficient, he says, to show that the people so constituted as the Bull garians are will always be averse tp communistic tendencies.
 Another reason for internal peace Is the fact that crops in Bulgaria have been good.
