 While the heavy snoWStOrmS thls winter have been an expensive item not only to the city. but to many others also, probably the concern U feel it the most is the Connecticut company. which is many thousa nd dollars out by them, ana unless one or two very important matters are eliminated at once, the company is liable to shoulder a little more cN- pense from d different source.
 Being a daily patron. have noticed of late that some of the conductors their car before d passenger has had not onIy very careless thing to do. but d very dangerous one.
 Any conductor should have sense enough to know that with the new system, lately installed a. nassenge" upon entering a car, must proceed n a different direction than the one in which the car is going and. unless he is sure footed. with the sudden start ing of the car he loses his balance and falls upon the car floor, as the fol- lowing nara tive goes to show:
 It is not so many evenings ago tha: a passenger, after completing his days work, boarded an East Main street car, homeWard bound. He had hardly entered the car when the con- ductor gave tho notolman the beli signal to proceed. The result of if was. the pa ssenger lost his ibalance and fell upon the car floor. where he lay in a heap until assisted to sea | by one of the passengers. The con ductors number found it's way into the paIsseng nger's pocket foiN future reference.
 Should matters Of this nature con- tinue. some, perhaps. might becon 7 intm idaLed and walk, rather than ia ke' any chances Of getting broken bones. Passengers pay for good serv- ice, which they expect to set. and tn management should see that their wants are com piled with. Being an eyewitness to the above. know whereof I speak. G. Fl. G.

RED CROSS ALWAYS
READY IN DISASTER

The Red Cross Is always prepared.
When disaster hits community this
organization can be depended upon
to follow right at its heels with help
for the stricken people.
Red Cross relief Is always forth
coming-food, clothing, shelter and

disaster may be-fre, flood, earth-
quake, explosion, bad wreck or torna-
do--the Red Cross Is always able to
cope with the situation.
During the last year there was an

fifty communities In twenty-seven
states suffered. The largest and most
destructive Of these were the tidal
wave at Corpus Christi, Tex, and tor
nadoes In Mississippi, Louisiana, Ala
bama, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois.
In these events OF horror, $50 per-
sons were killed, 1900 were injured,
1900 we're made homeless, about 30,-
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly S100.OO0,000 and al-
most 100000 In relief funds, not
including emergency supplies, was ex.
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of supplies.
10 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs OF the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
