Fare Boxes in Street Cars.

The question of opposing an increase
in street car fare was brought up by
DIR. Parsons. and President Tucker said
the association already was on record
as opposing it. Mr.. Tucker told of
statements that conductors had failed to
ring UP all the fares they collected. and
said the companies soon are to install
boxes in the cars.
Conductors then will handle money
only to make change" he said, "and
probably there will be difference in
the finances of the two companies"
Mr.. Tucker said the association had
always taken the position that the giF-
ing of intercompany transfers would
benefit both car companies, and he
still held that opinion. Giving of such
transfers, he said, will mean short
itauis of passengers who are now COM
relied to ride all over the city to go
from one point TO another.
Mr.. Wood wanted to know what had
become of the question of compelling
the companies to furnish Identification
tickets to passengers when cars are
delayed. 1t is within the power of the
Public Utilities Commission to regulate
that question, he said.
On motion of DIR. Parsons, the asso-
citation went on record as opposed to
the teaching of German in educational
institutions in the United States

scattering all sorts of filthy germs,
endangering the health of the resi-
dents of the city to a frightful de-
gree"
A motion that the Commissioners

Enjoying Life

1t is good to save some plum
der, save a part of all we earn,
so that when we're old as thun-
der we may have some coin to
burn. Oh, it makes a man dis
gusted when his age is eighty
nine, and he finds himself so
busted that he cannot buy a
shine. But to save like some
blamed miser l consider vain
and wrong; blowing in some
coin is wiser, for a man is dead
SO long. This old worlds a
thing of beauty, but it soon will
pass away, SO when we have
done our duty, we should go
ahead and play. When we've
earned our daily wages we
should be for pleasure strong
for the prophets and the sages
say the dead are dead so long.
Let's be happy while we're iv-
ing, happy in no selfish way, but
friendly handout giving to the
more unlucky jay; let's do some
thing for the heather, make
their lives one grand sweet
song, and be happy while we're
breathin', for we'll all be dead
SO long. Let's support all
worthy causes, help when ills
demand a cure, and be smiling
Santa Clauses, when we go
among the poor; let US merrily
skedaddle with the transient
human throng: Death is ever
in the saddle, and we'll all be
dead so long.
