CHICAGO, Nov, 28—What to do when a man attempts to steal a kiss is explained to Northwestern University oo- eds in the December number of the Purple Parrot, issued at Evanston under student editorship. “When a man kisses you, strugglé fiercely at first and then M@ppear gradually to be overcome by his superior strength,” reads the ‘instruc- tions, “Close your eyes and hold yourself rigid, relaxing a bit if the kiss endures. “Let a variety of expressions flood your face—anger, sorrom, despair, joy.

Na- tions should find a way to sit down together periodically to talk over the affairs of the world which happen to threaten its peace. They have found quite informally a way to discuss naval armament, Why shouldn't the Same procedure be used to discuss other international matters? This is Mr. Harding's thought. Every vor ference makes its own rules, Every conference would recognize the in- dividual members as representing sovereign count There would be no collective body greater than the individual Governments, but eaéh would exercise the sovereign right of agreement or disagreement. An about the only rigid thing that might eventually be suggested is a declar: tion by each nation of its willingness to withhold aggressive action until the stated meeting of nations or an cmer= gency meeting shall have been sum- moned ‘The important thing at the outset is simply to set up a machinery for calling international conferences.

BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE FOR 5 CENT6. President Hedley of the Interbor- ough disabused the public of the Im- pression that has prevailed since he itestified last week at the Transit hear- ing that a 6-cent fare on the Rapid ‘Transit Hines of the city is here to stay for some time. He declared to- day at the transit hearing ghat he and his company are giving the best ser- vice possible at @ 6-cent fare. He id in answer to a question put by Clarence J. Shearp, counsel to the Transit Commission: “It is not possi- ble, in view of the costs of materials and labor, to give the efficient service the people are entitled to at a 5-cent fare.” I have a personal pride in this transit system: it is my life's work and I would like to see some arrange. ment made to increase the service. One of the most e¢riouws things that could happen would be @ receiver- ship, which I have been trying to avoid. A receivership wonld result in he could |® separation of the elevated and sub- way systems and a situation far more serious would result to the travelling wld Sublio than to the owners of the lines. INTERBOROUGH RENEWED $1,-' Begins To-Day’s Evening World 1 hope to avoid a receivership. I hope thie tribunal will find some way out. When I said the other day that, [ would have to make ‘the nickel go around I meant that I would have to do the best I could with it, But it Js inypossible to give the people the ser- vioe they should have at that rate of fare.” Mr. Hedley also said od help the | public if there is any separation of jthe subway and the elevated, The | public will be paying 10 cents for a ride on the elevated.” Hedioy, in answer to the ques- j thom ‘What do you mean by making ‘the nickel go round?” said, “The car- fare is not five cents., It is true that |five cents is paid through the gate. ; Fare now js far in excess of five cents | pecause of the disintegration of the lines, but the time many passengers get through paying additional fares due to loss of transfer points the fare results in more than five cents. ‘The city's subway bonds in the hands of the public are not earning any money.” Mr. Hedley said he did not know that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and the Hudson and Man- hattan Company had for seycral years been buying coal at much cheaper prices than the Interborough has been paying. When confronted with a comparison of coal costs which showed that his company has Leen paying more for coal than the Hrook- lyn and Hudson and Manhattan Companies Mr. Hedley said he did not agree with the accuracy of the figures. It was brought out by Mr. Shearn that the 1, R. T. uses about 770,000 tons of coal annually and the coal bills amount to about $5,000,000. Mr. Hedley agreed with the figures ond said that about 10 per cent. of tho Interborough's coal supply as bought in the open market so that “distress coal” could be picked up in the harbor for spot cash at greatly reduced prices, WHAT THE INTERBOROUGH PAYS FOR COAL. Mr, Shearn read from reports on fle with the commission which showed the Interborough in 1919 was Paying $7.85 a ton, while the Hudson and Manhattan was paying but $3.82. Mr. Hedley explained this by statiny that coal on the New Jersey shore ig cheaper, due to the absence of barge charges, pier charges and otier transportation matters. With respect to the B. T. the ¥. R. T. the following comps were made in prices of coal per ton for the following years: Mr. Hedley said he could not un- derstand thesé discrepancies because he had been assured that the B. li. T. and I. R, T. were paying about the same for coal, He promised the com> cause “every dollar off a ton of coal means three-quarters cf a million at the end of the year.” Mr. Hedley admitted that E. J. Berwind of the Berwind-White Coni Company, one of the three large companies the Intervorough dea’ with, is a director in the Interborougit Company. Mr. Hedley said the royalties he receives from the Interborough amount to about $5,000 or $6,000 a year for the past fifteen years. “The Interborough has the free use of any of my patents—not a single dollar in royalties is paid to me, but there are a number of my patents* used throughout the world. I do receive royalties for such of my patents a the directors agreed to pay me for a one patent that resulted in saving and a half millions of dollars a y on the coasting and time recording patents and the anti-climber.” “What is your salary, Mr. Hedley “J receive so much from the Inte:- borough, so much frum the Subw: Construction Company and so muca from the New York Railways Com- pany.” eee Willie 0. © Dei Har HARTFORD, Nov. 28.— Willie 0. aeventy-eight, editor of the Hartford Times and dean of news- paper men in Connecticut, died. here early yesterday.
