The Brighter Side
BY Damon RunyOn

No warm friendships are pro-
duced. No really bright and in
@resting conversation and ex-
change of thought comes out of
the association. The weather
and that other truck is dry
stuff. The run of travellers in
cludes timid, backward men,
who are uncomfortable among
strangers and inarticulate and
who shrink within themselves
in this enforced mixed gather
ing and brood over the war
conditions and thus reduce their
own morale.
A ND NOW here is where
"A come in with a suggestion
that / think would remedy the
situation. l believe the cab COM
panies should require all pas
sengers to furnish a little in
formation about themselves so
that a company man assigned
70 that specific duty could in
troduce them to one another
after they are wedged into a
cab with a brief rundown on
each. For example:
"Mr. Peter Clambake. of
Tulsa, Okla. insurance business,
meet Mr.. Horton jun, of Seat
tie, retail liquor. Mr.. Charles
Quoz, of Boston, brass manu-
facturer, shake hands with Mr..
John Wickenby, Of Atlanta,
poultry, but used to play foot
ball at Brown with Quentin
Reynolds"
/ think you can see what
would ensue. II would develop
that Mr.. Clambake knows Quen-
tin Reynolds so he and Mr..
Wickenby would get along fine
talking about what a fine fell
low Quent is Mr.. Juff would
very likely know Mr.. Big Dan
Carroll in Boston and would
surely inquire about him.
