r DAILY COMMENT ON Looks like 01' Henry Ford's divvy with hiSvemployes plan put consider able ginger in JQan Cupid. That answers "one question. As soon as some of the young folks got the needed dough they hiked to a preacher. 'Taint o much Dan Cupid's work that's missin'. It's the almighty dol lar. And in the course of a year all those newly married young folks ought to have something besides a rail fence running around the house. The thought of all these possibili ties ought to make Ford feel pretty good. And we'll bet it does. He listens like that sort of man. A New York woman slapped a man in the face, in the subway, accusing him of rubbing against her. Then he had her arrested for dis orderly conduct. The only way to" avoid such un pleasantries like that in any kind of crowded cars isto walk. There is one difference here in Chi cago In the surface cars, however. The men don't rub against the wo men. They push, shove or bump against them. When riding in a Chi. street car, At night time or at dawn, A woman often wonders, where All Chivalry has gone. Whew! Some eels lay 20,000,000 eggs a day. For the love of Mike, some hens take notice. A street cleaner was ruh down by a Chicago American 'wagon Monday morning, while he was working in the street.

Of course if any other wagon races along like that but that's unother question. ; PEOPLE AND THINGS . More figuring for the council on the "L" crowding problem. All the blame car line service in the city Is getting to be z.n "L" of a problem. Factory Inspector Nelson has been handing it to some of the stores that have been violating the labor laws. Some fines have been handed, out. It's ,a blame shame that the em ployers who overworked young girls can't be made to work the" same length, of time out themselves. May be it would wake some of them up and shake a little humanity into their hides. A burglar caught in New York had corsets on. 'He said he wore them to keep himself warm. He hadn't the same use for them as women have. The latter wear , them to keep straight. It is said that too manyclothes make red noses. Now we know why those French women are wearing high shoes and no stockings. Here is the busiest marr of -all. He comes from Conecticut and ias sub stituted e's for all the i's in his name because he hasn't the time to dot the i's. This is a queer thing. Why is jtthat when a young lady with a tight hob ble skirt is getting on the car, a big truck usually drives slowly by? .
