STREET CAR MANNERS

You might not think at first sug-
gestion that it was really bad man
ners to board pay-as-you enter street
car without the correct fare for your
ride ready to give to the conductor or
mt in the fare box on the yestibule
of the car. Yet when you come to
think that bad manners are those that
Inconvenience others and those that
show that you have not proper re-
gard for the feelings of others, then
it becomes clear that to fail to have
your correct fare ready is nothing
more or less than bad manners.
1t is also bad manners to linger by
the entrance door of street car just
because you are not going to ride far
and think that you want to be where
you can get out quickly. This is bad
manners because it is extremely in
considerate and selfish. You should
walk straight forward in the car 60
ing as far as the crowd will permit,
Just as much as a matter OF course
as you would bow to an acquaintance
in the street, or as you would avoid
eating with your knife.
Remember that every one in the car
pays the same fare and that so long
as you are in the car you are the
superior to no one. Just because you
are a well dressed woman is no reason
why you should have more room than
if you were some poor little overwork-
ed errand girl. Some men have an
annoying habit of opening their news
papers wide before them as they ride
to their Offices in the morning, rub
bing their elbows into the people who
sit beside them and Tapping their
papers in the faces of those who stand
before them Moreover, an outstretch-
ed paper has more than once kept
some selfish one from seeing an old
or infirm person standing before him.
Remember that when you pay fare
you are not paying for club car priv
ileges. You must share in the dis
comfort of your fellow passengers,
and when you stretch your paper out
in that manner you only add to their
discomfort and show yourself to be
lacking in real good breeding.

DRIVE AGAINST FAKE STOCKS

The New Jersey State Bankers AS
sociation is to be complimented on
their action of making a drive against
the type of investment that yearly
steals hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars out of the pockets of working
men and women all over the United
States.
II is hoped that the advertisements
will serve their purpose in stamping
the phrase, Before you invest inves-
tigate." indelibly on the minds OF all
who have funds to invest.
All banks have been supplied with
what is termed an investors Ques-
tionnaire," which was compiled by the
association In the little leafiet is
printed number of questions that
every cautious investor should know
about a security that he is about to
purchase. 1t would be a splendid idea
for everyone to keep this question
naire in their home and when ap-
preached by, stock salesman insist
that he answer the questions, then
get your bankers advice before buy
ing.
The continuous operation of bust
ness is as essential to the banks as to
the investors. To do business on a
big scale investments are necessary,
and speculation goes hand in hand
with investment. 1t will, therefore,
become the business of the banks,
first to detect and condemn fraudu-
lent promotion schemes, and, second
ly, to inform the prospective investor
of the probable extent to which he
would be taking a chance" in invest
ing in an enterprise honestly planned
and conducted.
Better be safe than sorry.

A high degree Of team spirit already

by the fact that the Avenue Grand

that certainly needs bolstering. But
the young right-ha nder has failed to
produce. Now the boss of the Ma
tionals is casting about for a suitable
berth for Beach. He may be left
with the Tampa smokers Of the Flori-
"a State League.
The Nationals expected to open
their two-g game practice series with
the Tampa team this afternoon. but
the weather has been quite uncer-

Sunday evening a Florida cold spell

first time that has happened this

they have the Yanks number con-
Jointly. although they are not so GER
tain which one OF them may grab it
singly.
The champions are not going to
start the season overriding their
fellow members by the fact that they
won last year. 1t is just the other
know that the Yanks didn't win what
they should have won last year-the 9
world series-and they are elevated
in spirit correspondingly. The loss
cesSion has given the other clubs OF
the league a cue to the fact that the
YankS can be beaten.
One question is whether the Yanks
may start better this year than last
year. 1t Is serious question.
Too Many Good Pitcherss
New York has the best group of
pitchers in the American League. 1t
may be that they are blessed with
too much pitching power. Such a
condition seems impossible, but II
isn't. II is out Of the question for
any manager to get the best work
from his pitchers If he can't use them
leading pitchers of his league at the
start of the year. six of them, pos
sibly eight, would be stale at mid
season or be fore then.
The defeats of the Yanks in their
spring series isn't indicative Of any
hing i'll particular. The team has
been trying out some young players
ard the older players were trying to
90 what they were not quite ready
to do. BY the time they get back
to New York they must begin to
show something and If they don't
they will have a merry scramble TO
get anywhere for the first sign OF
falling off in successful aggressive
ness is going to cost them heavily
and give them a battle which they
will never forget whether they win
their third championship in success
sion or fail.
