STREET CAR Y

There is no service required by
the public the quality of which DE-
nends so much upon co-operatlon as
Street a service. The company,
the company's employees, the Gai
rider and the drivers OF other veii u
cles using the streets must WORK ~
harmony if the best results are "
obtain.
It's the company's part to pro,
vide safe, comfortable cars anu
enough of them; to insure an am
ple power supply; to arrange con,
venient schedules, and to engage
and train competent and quallleo
trainmen.
It's the trainman's part to see to
the safety and comfort OF his pas
sengerseto be polite, courteous
and accommodating.
It's the passengers part to as
sist in saving his own time by nav.
inp his fare ready-the use OF

blocking the entrance, to be prompt
in boarding and alighting, to give
the alighting signal in time, and to
extend to other passengers the same
kind of treatment that ne Wouio
like to have extended to himself
It's the vehicle drivers part to
give the street car the right OF way
on the rails to which it is entitled
by virtue of the great number OF
people it carries. Most street car
delays are caused by minimizing
drivers who block or interfere with

WESTERN COLLEGE
 TO HELP STUDENTS
Northwestern University Wants Those Who Earn Own Living

Evanston, H., April 6.-Fifty per cent of the men at Northwestern University are working their way through school; 20 per cent. are earning all of their expenses, and 30 per cent. are earning part of the money required, according to Paul l.. Palmer, assistant dean of the college of liberal arts. who has just complet- ed a survey of the men of the !nsti- tuition.
 The university. says Mir. Palmer, encourages men of the fighting type, who have courage and stamina to make their own way. The Y. M. c. A., he points out, conducts an em- ploymcnt bureau through which the students are placed in touch with work that Evanston citizens wish done. The university offers scholar ships both for freshmen and upper classmen. Some of these scholar ships are enough to meet the greater part of the tuition. Tn addition, Mir. Palmer says, the university offers considerable clerical work that en- ables students to earn money outside of school hours
 "As a further proof of the sticking qualities of the men who are self sup porting" said Mir. Palmer. figures show that more upper classmen than freshmen are earning their own way. This shows that students who start as freshmen on their own resources are not forced to drop out after an un- successful struggle during the first year."
 The average amount of time spent in this outside work is three hours day during the school year. Six per cent spent only one hour day, while seven or more hours a day are required by one per cent of the em- ployed students to earn their ex- penses. Mir. Palmer's survey showed.
 The variety of work done by the young men ranges from washing dishes to preaching by appointment. Included in the list are clerking and accounting, caring for furnaces, homework, playing in orchestras, playing church organs, library work reporting, elevated guard, cashier in cafeteria. caring for children and caretaker at golf club.
 The 50 per cent. who are not con- cerned over the source of their col- lege expenses constitute a problem, in the opinion aof Mir. Palmer. Some guidance should be provided for their activities during the summer holi- days, he thinks.

5000 School Children to Help Put
 Big Campaign Across

Last month mothers Of 700 children left their youngsters at the New Brit ain Day Nursery while they went to work to earn living for their fami- lies.
 This is just one of the many things being done by organizations in the United Community corporation for the children of the city. But tomor- row the children of the community arc going 10 do something for tho United Community corporation. They arc going to help put across the drive for $50,000.
 Three thousand school children. of New Britain will start out this after noon immediately after school armed with dime banks. small round cellu- loid banks, hardly larger than sill yer dollar in circumference, which they will ask everyone they meet to help fill.
 Tomorrow the children will be seen on Main street; they will be found on side streets Street corners will be decorated with them. Small stores and big stores will be visited. Houses will be canvassed. No one will be overlooked-3,000 boys and girls will scout the city.
 Tiny tots of five or six to Boy and Girl Scouts of IS or 1s will go through the city with fine tooth comb from Chapman street to Corbin avenue and from Kensington avenue to Ibelles' corner in Belyidere.
 The youngsters will not ask for anything larger than dime, since the boxes will not take anything larger than that. but there will be no limit to the number of dimes they will ac- cept.
