UCTIONS among Public Service Commissioners of this district R at least indicate new life in the Commission. “ That the B. R. T. should try to ward off as long as pos- ‘bible the expense of putting projecting fenders on its cars merely to or a part of it—should become indignant and active because of the B.R. T.’s failure to obey orders gives the whole city a hopeful thrill, ~ In strongly dissenting from Commissioner Cram’s Tecommende- | / Hen that the Commission ease up on the B. R. T., Commissioner Hay- | ward says: if For eix long years these (B. R. T.) companies have been able by one means or another to make the action of the Com- ; mission futile #0 far as fenders were concerned, until the whole % Proceeding appears more like child's play or a mock trial than . the proceedings of « great Commission clothed with the most extraordinary powers to enforce its orders and require obed!- ence from stubborn companies operating under the short-sighted ‘ policy of resistance to any safety order which touches their en pocketbooks. _ + his exactly sums up certain of the public's recent conclusions as ‘Be the efficiency of its expensive Service Commission. ‘The new mem- | (fear seems to think that internal friction is no handicap to the develop- | pment of culward energy.

It te agasint health and comfort. Women can- not waik on the gratings, which aleo cause congestion of traffic —, . and are dangerous in wet weather.” __ The proposed system of kioske, designed to provide at once air ‘vents, emergency exits and rich advertising privileges for somebody, ‘no doubt has ite disadvantages. But one objection advanced in the * Board of Estimate is amusing. To authorize such « system of ventila- tion, this critic maintained, would be to make Broadway one long ‘dillboard. If it comes to that, what is Broadway now? If the city could pull off the roofs and confine it, with regulations as to size sightliness, to the kiosks, mightn’t it be a step in the direction of ‘ “City Beautiful” that New York is always being told it isn’t?

Making due allowance for our own capacity, we nevertholess don't under- stand why, in describing the girl who commits suicide, the accounts refer to her stockings, shoes, bat, and other articles of apparel, as being “of cheap material.” It seems like rubbing it in. And, speaking generally, when a girl is diked out in purple and fine linen, she doesn’t fee) like committing sui- clde anyhow. Now that the bathing season is on, the Bertie Bromjdes are suying, as usual, that “most’of those who perish by drowning are the strong swim- mers who take unnecesary chances in the water.” This is about as true as saying that only the rugged die of weakness. During a residence of five years {n Atlantic City the astonishing fact became known to us that some- thing like 99 per cent. of the folks who perished in the surf wore drgwned because they couldn't swim.

HILE Jane was away I bad planned to do many things for her pleasuring when she should return, But gradu- ally they slipped from my mind, or something happened each time to prevent my carrying out my unusual plans, The old saying that “Hell is paved with good intentions’ isn’t so far out of the way. When I explained to Jane what MY inten- tions had been, my reasons for not doing as I had expected, I could see that she did not believe me, althovgb I now know that she wanted to.
