President | rket value, are | Can you pleture a portly, dignified gentleman waddling down the aisle of a sleeping car in a flowered kimono and climbing _ cheerfully into an upper berth? Maybe it does sound a little too wild to be true, but it is just that millenial thing that Interstate Commerce Com- missioner Johnston B. Campbell is try- ing to accomplish in the interest of traveling economy. 1t all started last week at an Inter- state Commerce Commission _hearing where representatives of the Commer- clal Travelers' Association were gath- ered to complain of the “irritating and obnoxious” surcharge on Pullman cars that has been in effect since the war. The company argued sadly but firmly that you can’t make human beings, par- ticularly mien, who are the most numer- ous travelers, climb into upper berths. And unless the cars can be operated at full capacity, with uppers as well as lowers brimming full, they couldn’t af- ford to remove the’ surcharge. They were - walting, company officlals sald dolefully, for some genius to come along with a 'design for sleeping cars that had lower berths only—and no wasted space. But they have been waiting for a long time. To Revolutionize Travel. So now up steps Mr. Campb his Idea for a bloodless—or may 3 the first few weeks, it will be a_bloody— revolution in male habits of travel. Why, he wants to know, wouldn't it be a fine ‘idea to have dressing rooms for | men, just as the Pullmans now have for women, into which upper berth pas- sengers might retire for disrobing and the donning of kimonos. And the Pull- man__officials, vaguely ~echoing have ‘promised to design such The plans and specifications will placed before the commission No- vember 13, \ “It is the discomfort of getting out of one's clothes and back into them gain in upper berth that Is the main objection found by men to upper berths,” s s Commissioner Camp bell acrobatic feat that is impos: a man of, say, my size, If there was a compartmen? where a man could go 4t o disrobe I think the der the ladies usua 5 in the ng room provided for them and > “and from their berths in kimonos, but the corresponding space provided for men jssued as a smok- ing room.

That is as bad as smoking—sometimes worse.* “I belleve smoking should be pro- hibited in the dressing rooms,” said one of the witnesses at the hearing. “And maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to prohibit yarn swapping. But I should hate to see a requirement for men to wear kimonos; I really would. " Railroad representatives testified that the present proportion of lower berth patrons to those willing to clamber into an upper was four to one. Would Cause Riot. “You think that if you attempted to force the filling of ‘all berths there would be a riot?” asked Commissioner Campbell. “Yes, or an earthquake,” replied the witness. “The only possibility of filling the uppers would seem to be to reduce the rates on those accoms modations still further. And that would make little difference, as most of the riding public puts comfort and convenience before cost.” “Sleeping in upper berths, once get into them and get undressed. marked Commissioner Campbell, really just as comfortable as sleeping in the lower ones. The only draw- back is that you cannot see out. I wonder how much of a job it would be to get a window so you could look out at the moon?” —_— D. C. PRISONER RETURNED. 1. J.
