MRS. VANDERBILT FINDS
FLAPPERS INTELLIGENT
Admits to Brooklyn Audience
She Has a FeD.

The flapper. who has been talked
about considerably by almost every
body but the flapper herself. got word
of praise last night from Mrs. Frank
A. yanderlip. head of the League OF
Women Voters of New York State.
After she had spoken before the forum
of the Brooklyn Jewish Center at 667
Eastern Parkway on the work of the
league. Mrs. Vanderlip said she would
try to answer any questions. She was
asked this one by a man in the audi
ence:
What effect will the flapper move
ment have on women votlng?" 5.
'"The flapper.'' said Mrs. vanderlip.
is too much for me. own a few
flappers myself, and I am certain that
they are more intelligent than / was at
their age. I am heartily in favor of
giving the flapper chance. and l am
sure they will turn out all right"
In discussing the league and politics
Mrs. Vanderlip decared that women
have not flocked to any one political
party because there has been no great
moral issue at stake since women got
the vote. The political leaders. she
said. did not want women to vote be-
cause they refused to stand UP and be
counted.

Hedley Says Fewer Cars Did
Not Mean Inferior Ser
vice to Public.
SO LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Shows on Face You're Not
Trying to Relieve Con-
Gitions,' Says Counsel.

From official reports made to the
Transit Commission by the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company.
Clarence J. Shearn. chief counsel OF
the commission, proved yesterday that
the Interborough subways were Oper-
ating last February 173 fewer cars
tEan were called for by the company's
own service schedule. Despite the
daily subway crush. it appeared also
from the same !. r. t. figures thai
during last February the company
was operating on a daily average
ffty-two fewer cars than 1t ran in the
corresponding month of 1921.
During the period when this large
number OF cars was withdrawn from
service, 1t was shown. the Inter-
borough's financial condition had
greatly improved. the net corporate
income OF the subway division for the
month exceeding by 100000 that for
February Of last year.
Mr. shearn inquired: will you ex-
plain, Mr.. Hedley, how 1t Is that In this
period of greater stress On your facil-
tiles, during which period your revenues
have considerably increased. you are
cutting down on the number OF cars
operated 2"

HedIey's "True Criterion"

1T does not necessarily follow" coun-
tered the Interborough president, that
because we ran fewer cars the public
has been receiving inferior service or
that we ran fewer car miles with tie
trains that were in operation. As
matter of fact, the reverse is the truth.
You will observe from those same re-
ports that while we ran fifty-two less
cars we ran $4,000 more car miles than
in February. 1921. The true criterion
Of the adequacy of the service is the
car mileage covered and not the number
of cars operated
Excuse me-" replied Mr.. Shearn.
I'VE are starting with the assumption
that the service is inadequate and that
YOU ought to do everything humanity
possible to improve it. You have been
stressing as one great reason why you
could not improve the service In the
rush hours the fact that you did not
have sufficient number CT cars. Now
1t appears that with increased pressure
on your facilities and with very largely
increased net income you actually are
operating fifty-two fewer cars day On
the average than you were a year ago.
II seems to me that shows on the face
of 1t that you are not dong what you
could do to relieve the condition"

Declines Transfer Proposal.

Mr.. Hedley was examined next con-
cerning the possibility OF the INTERIOR
ough asserting TO some amicabe arr
rangement for the exchange OF free
transfers between the /. r.. I. and the
B. r. r. lines at the Queensborougf
Bridge Plaza. He declared this would be
tantamount to fare under Ave cents
and would involve a modification OF the
Interborough's contractual rights under
Contract No. with the city. 1t was
matter that would lie with the !. r. #.
board Of directors When Commissioner
Hardness asked him fatty whether he
would be willing to recommend 10 his d.
rectors such modification In tho interest
Of the public service Mr.. IIcdley replied:
II would not"
Such plan, lie admitted. would re-
duce congestion Of the !. X. r. facilities
at the Grand Central Station, but he
maintained IT would also materially re-
duce J. n. r. revenues. Mr.. Hedley as
sented readily TO Judge Shearn's sugges-
tion that the Queens situation could be
best taken care OF unde- the commits
sion's plan for cltywide reorganization
and unihcatlon.
The New York herald., 1922-04-11
Comedies He Can't Figure II.

Mr.. Hedley insisted that at all times
every available car ii las during rush
hours. He could only surmise either
that there was some error In the sta
tistics or else that during the period
under examination there must have been
an unusual number of cars relegated to
the shops to correct defects in the
multiple control door device or some
other operating imperfection. u
The examiner countered this sugges-
ton by producing official statistics
which showed that In November, 1877,
when the percentage OF cars In the
shops was reported to be 4.S per cent,
the number In operation as compared
with the same month OF the previous
year was twenty-one less. whereas In
February. 1922. when the percentage In
the shops was reported as only as in
stead of 4.s per cent. the number or
cars in service was flfty-two less than
In February of the preceding year.
II can't figure 1t out" the witness
finally conceded.
As for faults In the multiple unit
door controls. reports 10 the commis-
sion. Mr.. Shearn showed, stated that
the only Withdrawals last February for
that reason occurred on February II,
when three cars went to the shops be-
cause of multiple control troubles.
"a falling off of fifty-two cars a
day Is very serious in existing condi-
tions, is 1t not?" asked Mr. Shearn.
Yes. II fifty-two cars a day have
fallen off and II you didn't make up
the mileage with the other cars II
would be a very serious matter"
