AP WreK eR, THE PLIRT From More Than 200 Guests HE following letter is signed by more than two hundred youthful guests of Lire’s Farm. We regret that our limited space prevents the publica- tion of all the names: Brooxiyx, N. Y. Dear Para axp Manta Mone: The time is nearly here when we would be coming to Branchville if we could, and we are all the time thinking and talking about those happy days. We think about you and Mr. Harold and Miss Edna, and we never can forget how kind you were to us, We say this time last year we were just getting ready, and we all are so sorry it is not to be the same this year. We remember the beau- tiful hills, and the pond where we bathed, and the walks and the great trees where we had our swings, and Papa Mohr taking us down to the store to treat us, and we wish so much to be there again. Miss Whittlesey says she wishes we were there, and she was com- ing to see us all so happy. Dear friends, do not forget your girls and boys, for we will always love you all. We all send lots of love and kisses.

CHARLES G. PEASE of New York continues to benefit society by having smokers arrested who carry lighted cigars into the subway stations. We applaud Dr. Pease’s altruistic 1a- bors in this difficult field. The smoker whom Dr. Pease had ar- rested on May 17 was arraigned before Magistrate Finn, who discharged him with a nominal reprimand — saying, “Smokers have rights as well as non- smokers."" Smokers have rights, but not in the public conveyances and other public places where smoking is prohibited. Their fuming cigar stubs are nuisances in such places. To get the ordinance against smoking in the subway cars and stations enforced is a work of admirable public spirit we wish there were ten thousand Dr. Peases to undertake. And to get after the smokers in the surface cars and their platforms, and on the elevated and in its stations is just as necessary. The worst smokers of all are the auto- mobiles. They are forbidden to smoke in the parks, but do it notwithstanding. They must be forbidden also to smoke in the streets of such towns as this. An automobile discharging evil smelling smoke on any populous street is an out- rageous nuisance. A Mere Trifle APPHEDD: You saved me from be- ing killed by that auto. I owe my life to you; how shall I ever repay you? Stovtex: Young man, don’t you let trifling debts like that worry you!
