[R CIGABETTE
Stenographer Declares Woman
Has Same Right as Man
In Stale-Scented Coach.
CHICAGO. April .-Should won
en smoke?
Oh. sister, ask Mary Foley, the
Chicago stenographer, who makes it
a practice to patronize the smoking
ears on railroads in preference to
the day coaches. In the faces of
Iaany Mpen commuters Miss Foley
wilked into two of these holy of
holies, drew forth her cigarette
ease, and settled for a nice little
puff.
No one tried to stop her.
She did it "just to see." She
started south on the Rock Island.
She walked toward the smoking car.
The conductor who saw her politely
remarked, "That's the smoking car,
Madam." And what did Miss Foley
may? Ah. she knocked the conductor
flat with her answer:
"Yes, I know it's the smoking car
-that's why I'm going there."
This conductor was too dumfound
ad to tell the tale, but the conduc
tor of the Illinois Central managed
to give a confused report of the
spectacle he saw, and thus the re
porter found the young woman's
trail.
"I Know It."
"She calmly walked into the smok
ing car after getting on at the Fifty
third street station," said the 1. C.
Oonductor. "I called to her three
times, 'The next car is the smoker,
madam.' and she only smiled and
said: "I know it.'"
"Did you really invade two men's
smoking cars?" the reporter asked
Miss Foley.
"Yes, but what's wrong in it?"
She queried. "It was the first time
I ever did such a thing. We are an
emancipated race, aren't we? Can't
we do as we please?"
"Soothing Effect.
"Yes, yes," stammered the r.
porter. "How did you get the nerve
to put it over?"
"Oh. the soothing effects of cig
arettee give one the nerve." laughed
Miss Foley. "But, seriously, the
idea came to' me when I got on a
train the other day. I couldn't find
a seat and had to stand up. I hap
pened to look into a smoker and saw
the men lolling back comfortably
in the half-filled- car, puffing away
In the greatest contentment. I said
to myself: 'Why shouldn't I do this?
Am I prohibited from enjoying a
seat and a smoke just because I'm a
woman?'
"So I started out to see. Some
of the men tittered when I entered
the coach, and a sailor said 'My
Gawd! But they soon saw that I
was serious about this thing and not
merely trying to show off. They
soon seemed to forget me. and may.
be some of them respected me-who
knows?
"Men used to keep us out of
bars, and now the men have no
bars. But they can't keep us out
of smoking cars, because we have a
right to go there."
Miss Foley flicked the ash with a
professional-like flick.
"And. furthermore," she contin
ued, "hereafter when I want to
smoke on the bus, or on the street.
I'm just going to light up just like
a man does.'
The reporter, a mere man, mere
ly nodded.

H OMEWARD along Sixteenth
street yesterday afternoon.
Sunshine after, days of rain.
Everyone out in their pretty
spring clothes. Seem to be as
many tweed suits and colorful
sport shoes on Sixteenth street as
on F street downtown. The
busses look like animated cu
cumbers? Green and lighter green
tops.
There goes the White House
car. Wonder if Mrs. Harding is
in it. Reckon not. The windows
are all down and she is partial
to fresh air. Probably on its way
to the White House. Mrs. Wads
worth and Miss Evelyn Wads
worth are coming back from
abroad. I hear. No. 1100 Six.
teenth, the home of Senator and
Mrs. Capper. A waggish solon
made a clever pun on the Capper
residence, apropos of Senator
Lodge's visit tHere one day some
months% ago to discuss the farm
situation. "The place where
Lodge went to the "bloc," he
called it.
There's Dr. Cary T. Grayson.
Seems to be waiting for someone.
Ah. there's the someone. His two
small boys. Jolly little chaps run
ning to meet their daddy, their
nurse trailing smiling along in the
rear. Mrs. Franklin Lane going
into the Somerset. Probably to
visit her young grandson, Frank
lin Lane Kauffmann. She says he
is the MOST WONDERFUL baby.
. The Weeks house on tke corner
of Sixteenth and V. Looks jolly.
Used to be the Hughes horne when
Hughes was Chief Justice. I hear
they wanted it back when they re
turned as Cabineteers, but the
Weekses wouldn't give it up. They
wouldn't. The Loren Johnson
house next door looks festive.
They have such nice garden par
ties there in the summer. Beat
rice Henderson driving up' the
roadway to Henderson Castle.
Looks like it ought to be perched
on a high cliff overlooking the
Rhine instead of Sixteenth street.
Meridian Park across the street is
lovely, they tell me. Never had
time to climb the steps and ac
tually look at it myself. Hear
they are going to make a hotel out
of 2400 Sixteenth, never can call
it Meridian Mansions. Seems a
pity. Wonder where all the pres
ent tenants will go. More apart
ment hunting. So many Senators
live there I reckon they'll have to
recess Congress while they look
for dwelling place. Rosa Mayo
Kendriek, daughter of Senator and
Mrs. John B. Kendrick. in riding
togs. Back from the bridle paths
along the Potomac. Pretty thing.
Looks cute in her outfit. Ought to
he able to ride well. Her father
was a cowboy. But she doesn't
look much like a cowgirl.
M ME. JUSSERAND alighting
from her limousine at the em
bassy door. Smart footman open
ing the door. Smart footman turns
and gives the chauffeur a letter to

tually saw an ambassador's wife.
Tell the home folks. Frequently
see the Ambassador and Mme.
Jusserand driving or walking. Nice
folks.
Marshall Field house, 2600 Six
teenth, looks as though Mrs. Field
is in the city, caught a glimpse of
Hugh Gibson's bride there the oth
er day. Waiting for her car and
chatting with her husband in a
charmingly animated fashion. Evi
dently they had been calling on
Mrs. Field. Guess she must he
here.
The Polish legation seems de
serted with Prince and Princess
Lubomirska and their brood of
youngsters gone. Hear they may
return. Hope so. The new Neth
erlands legation, a block or so over.
In almost completed. I hear the
Minister and Mme. Everwijn aren't
planning to move in until fall. At
tractive place. Like the nice green
roof. The Franklint McVeagh
house is being made over by the
Mexican embassy. The pillars in
*ront improve it, to my way of
Inking. Used to be too straight
u, d down.
Limousine with Mrs. Warren De

bad they are leaving. Washing.

Handsome little chaps.
The Breckinridge Long house.
Nice little fat black dog bobbing
around the lawn. Ash cans waiting
to be carted away. Look horrid.
Why will housekeepers permit tin

MANY BLSTS'
KNOWN TO BE
DUST COVERED
Raw Foodstuffs Possess All the
Potentalities of TNT, Say
U 3 Experts.
That loaf of bread you cut last
night for your dinner at one time
in its career possessed all the dan
gerous characteristics of TNT.
The spices In the apple dumpling
In your dessert once boasted an
equally strong claim to dangerous
propensities. The sugar you put on
it to add to its tastiness had, and
still has, the potentialities of dyna
mite.
Experts of the Bureau of Chemii
try of the United States Department
of Agriculture are authorities for
these strong statements.
But they say they might go fur
ther and add that the rice in your
pudding was just as "flighty;" that
the hapkin you use, if of ootton; the
shirt on your back and, finally, the
coal with which you cook your meal,
were all at one time in their proces
ses of manufacturing or preparation
for your use, equally death-dealng.
However, there's no need now to
back away from any of them-they're
tamed, the Agriculture Department
chemists assert. The secret of their
destructiveness is dust-the dust
which is produced in their manufac
ture.
For a number of years department
experts have been studying the ex
plosibility of carbonaceous dusts,
mostly for the education of manufac
turers and workers in materials
which produce such conditions, and
surprising disclosures of general
interest have been made.
Where wheat grains or other
cereals are handled In bulk, friction
produces quantities of fine dust. and
when train and carloads are handled
daily, the amount of this dust that
accumulates about the plant, on
floors and projections, is enormous.
Dust clouds long hang in the air.
It has been determined by the ex
perts that this dust produces with
the air a mixture as fickle and ex
plosive as that formed in the car
buretor of an automobile.
It can generate as explosions an
powerful as those in rifle and gun
barrels. All that is needed to start
the destructive work is a spark. The
spark of flame may start a slow fire,
the fleshi traveling from dust grain
to dust grain.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY KICKS
AT BREATH OF "DRUNKS"
NEW YORK, April 8.-"I'm get
ting sick of going to public dinners
and having some poor souse hang
over the back of my chair and
saturate me with whiskey fumes."
District Attorney Banton declared
today, following the shock he gave
Harlem Board of Commerce diners
at the Commodore Hotel the pre.
vious evening by criticising the
flask toters.
"What I said was only inci
dental," he remarked, "but I am a
great believer in not making any
distinction in the law, and I am try
ing to create a public sentiment in
New York for law and order. Re.
spectability should not be a badge
of license for violation of the law."
Banton, while eager to see the
"dinner drinker" curbed, said he
knew of no official effort directed
specially to that end and could not
undertake it himself.
