fact that most of the labrics in which

wearable almost twelve months of the

Smoking II, Cars
Not Courteous

Courtesy Week is starting many
Kenosha people to think-and not only
to think but to observe. (And not
only to observe, but to register some
well justified kicks.)
Among the many little courtesies
which people are discovering they
have almost forgotten because they
have SO seldom seen them in practice,
is that of abstinence from smoking
in the street cars
A call to the News office this morn
ing brought to light the fact which
has SO long seemed dormant in the
minds of many male individuals, in
the city, that smoking in a street car
is not only discourteous, but against
the law and the regulations of the
company. If Courtesy Week can do
aught to remind men that the Keno
sha street cars were not built for
smoking compartm it will not have
been conducted in vain.

ram of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railway declared here to-
day before the Manufacturers and,
Shippers association.
"This evidence of recovery from
wartime distortions seems to be
peculiarly irritating to the 'die-hards'
who do not want to see, the carriers
recover" he said, "and every time
some Of teh fortunate few railroads
are able to pay dividends much OPP
probrium is heaped upon them and
they are cited as fearful examples
of profteering.

little net income they are charged with
gouging the public to pile up profits
Your interest as business men and
citizens lies in the prosperity of the
carriers, for it is only when they have
a reasonable measure of prosperity
that they can make adequate provision
for traffic development"
President Byram said that the car
shortage was not the only handicap Of
the roads in meeting heavy freight
demands. Additional double tracks
and sidings, increased terminal and
shop facilities, coaling stations, water
treating plants and other facilities are
needed as badly as cars, he said.
