Eighteen trips across the Brook- lyn Bridge during the evening rush hours by-an Evening World woman reporter revealed just one man po- Itte enough to give up his seat and earn the $10 she was prepared to offer for that simple courtesy. A thousand men and one gentle- man! The ratio makes a poorer showing for masculine consideration far the weaker sex than was thought possible in a city in which chivalry toward women in public places was fenown to be well nigh extinct. And this lone Bayard of the bridge cars, | was a man in a relatively humble place in life, a tallor's cutter, of foreign: parentage. It is a matter of ordinary observation that more courtesy is shown to women on the east side lines of the elevated than on the west side. What Mr. Schwind says of rustthour unmannerliness is worth re- peating for the sting of truth there is in it. P “1 feel very much ashamed of my sex,” says he, “when I see the way women and girls are treated in the bridge cars. It’s the same every night, The crowd crushes and jostles them into the car and then lets @hem hang painfully to a strap all the way over. Their treatment is ex- actly the same in the subway as on the bridge. No quarter is.given them, @o mercy is shown.” : This pushing of woman to the wall at all places of transit congestion | has become a common scandal. She is forced to fight to escape cru qwhen she tries to board an “L” or subway or bridge car. She is luc find a strap to hang by when she gets in. She stands all the way over | in the ferry cabins reserved for her use, but monopolized by men. The | offer of a seat toa woman on a ferry-boat is a sight tinseen by the oldest commuter. Her daily struggle for standing room on a bridge car is a} humiliating and a dangerous ordeal for even the most robust of the sex. | To what lengths is this indecent lack of consideration for women to | go? It is of comparative recent growth. Ten years ago the car hog was, in a small if offensive minori To-day his name is legion, and his ex- | ample has contaminated public manners in all places where crowds con- gregate. It may be said that he is the logical outgrowth of the conditions, of congestion which burden all lines of transit beyond their capacity. But the real parentage of the car hog is to be traced to the niggardly | policy and inadequate car service of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit road. It | is on its lines that e was born and there he has multiplied. It is there | that he has been scnooled in the ill manners which have become his re- | proach: Comparisons of discourtesy are odious, but it is on the bridge | cars, run on a schedule carefully calculated to secure the greatest dis. comfort to the greatest number, that he flourishes as in no other section of the Greater City. Se The face at the head of this column is, perhaps, not famitiar to all who patronize the company’s lines. It is that of President Winier, head- master in this school of bad manners. His distinction has been gained by a policy of economy, the net returns of which can hardly compensate him for the unenviable notoriety they have won him, i WI some reader puzzle +.» Some Interesting Facts About Salt. -. the axis of the world were perpendicu-| sometim : The Germans call salt “the gift of| 47 to the plane of its orbit instead ot aye done for y n recs ait et k use in the humblest inclining 23 ees, where would the ° ALT, which {s an article in daily} S jones, has © | God," and used to belleve that prayers number of interesting facts con-| were better answered when offered near| T70P!¢ of Can cerning it. | salt Salt is used all over the world much In the East salt 1s considered sa-| fn the same way as wat mals and) ble, and when an Arad offers salt to ql ,\Puazled Wite R, A. 8. = of Africa children will eat Romans believed that {f the salt|1 was.

Common Sense and the Only ‘Pebble By Nixola Greeley-Smith. Dear Miss Greetey-Smith: OR some months T have veen engaged to a young man with a fine Fr sition ie says that he loves me very much, but T don't believe it I don't think he Is capable of a great affection for unybody, although Tam sure he cares more for me than for any one else, The other day he tol » that no matter whom married, his common sense would always im that thore were at least a dozen other women In the world whe would sult him just as well. He is constantly saying things Ike that, and yet seems to expect me to think he is not only the only pebble on the Beach, but the whole beach. I really don't think so, and I have about my mind to give him up. What do you think about it? L. K. eS Been a F any man, young or old, told me that there were a8 I least a dozen others that would do as well, I woul@ tell him to go and look for them. Thore is nothing to us so unsatisfactory as luke-warm affection, Tepid tenderness is more unpalatable than tepid soup. And as it hus reached that temperature pending courtship, the only hope for matrimony would be that it might be- come frapped. I would not take that chance if I were you. Unless the young man who knows he Is the only pebble on the Leach realizes that you are the only dia- mond in the solitaire, give him back his ring. He made a mistake in the kind of ring ho presented you. The circlet with several stones in it spells regard. Ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby, diamond. | That provides for six of the dozen others that he says would serve. | But I don’t think it’s worth your while being one of them. | Of course, he is right in saying that common sense assures him ofthe correctness of the “other dozen” proposition. But he wouldn't have any |common sense ff he were really In love. No man who tells you the truth as he sees it in his sane moments {s in love. And the ‘plain truths” af his courtship may, {n marriage, beeome unbearable insults. Don't quarrel with this young man Simply say to him that in his present state of mind you cannot take the risk of marrying him and that you will give him a year or two to find his dozen other affinities, and if xt the end of that tlme he has reached the conclusion that you are the only pebble you will consider the proposition anew. ‘Said x» on « the ex Side.
