ASKED TODOITIN NON RUSH HOURS Transit Commission Appeals to Women to Be Consid- erate of Public. “Do your Christmas shopping ear- ty” ts a good slogan, Transit Com- rilesioner Le Roy T. Harkness says, but, he adds, “early in the season ts better than early in the morning.’ ‘The Transit Commission is counting on the assistance of the women and others in confining their Christmas shopping to those hours of the day between the morning und evening rush periods when the breadwinners of the family are not going to or from business. If the women of this city want to aid the transit problem, which Is al- ready a perplexing one and can be solved only by new lines, they will refrain from travelling before 9 o'clock im the morning and after 4.30 o'clock tm the afternoon, and then the con- gestion on the rapid transit lines in this busy season of the year will be materially relieved. This the Transit Commission believes. “Tell the women readers of The Evening World,’ Commissioner Hark ness continued, “that too many of them are in the habit of changing cars, from expresses to locals and viee versa. For the sake of five or siz minutes’ loss of time they seem willing to lose a seat by changing cars at express stations. It seems to me that in this season of the year, purticulurly, the Christmas shoppers should avoid as much as possible the overcrowding of station platforms by changing from loculs to expressex, whereus if they remuined abourd the focal and retuined « seat (if they had one) they would be helping them- selves, the rapid transit companies and their fellow passengers. Commissioner Harkness related the following incident: “When I see thousands of Christmas shoppers 1 aving their seats on local trains >t Times Square only to board an ex- press to Pennsylvania station, where- as ther could have held thelr seat and avoided the congestion, it reminds me of the American merchant who, while entertaining his Japanese customer, left a jocal train, transferred .> the express, boarded another focal and when he alighted at the local statior further downtown he remarked ‘> (I. Japanese: ‘We saved two minutes |y making the change,’ and tie Japanes: brightly asked ‘Now that we saved two minutes what will we do with them?’ ** More frequent use of the elevated iimes as a means of relieving the jam on the subways is another suggestion put out by the Transit Commission ann means of facilitating Christmas holiday shopping.
