More than transfers are issued at this point daily and, considering the number of cash fares which originate there.

It is estimated that the new structure will accommodate approximately 30,000 persons each day. The dangers of vehicular traffic "at this corner are averted by the new elation, as passengers can change from one car to another or from surface cars to the Subway, and vice versa, without the use of a transfer check and without stepping out on the street at all. The new station is connected with the Massachu-sett-av station of the Boylston-st Subway by spacious runways and everything has been arranged with an eye to tho comfort of the passengers. pMfmLl Fl1' i I 1J lot led'Mfan- NEW NICKEL LINE FROM SULLIVAN SQ TO HANOVER In order to experiment still further with the five-eent short haul" lines. General Manager Dana of the Boston Elevated yesterday announced that a ftve-cent line, without transfer privilege, had been placed in operation between 7 a and 7 pm, from Sullivan-sq Terminal to Hanover st.

via Bunker Hill and Washington sts. The 5-cent lino between Rowes Wharf and the North Station, via Federal st. which has been in operation for several weeks, has been discontinued because the total revenue secured lias been much less than the operating expenses, the passengers carried on the line averaging only 20 per round trip. V. Ag Back of all the interpretations that zee find in dictionaries there lie deeper meanings that cannot be readily defined, but which run side by side zvith the expressed idea.

Take, for instance, the zvord merchandising. There is much more suggested by the zoord than buying and selling, more than production and distribution. Back of merchandising there lies a vital force a great power to be reckoned with the strong human tide zvhich bears o-n its surface the thing we call merchandising. In every large store as in all questions of economics the human factor becomes part of the business structure that must be guided zvith a sure purpose, that its contact zvith the public may express the truest method of merchandising. This point of contact must be as sure and as ready as the tiny spark of contact that represents the mysterious and powerful element, electricity Constantly, through every avenue of our business, zve are eager to understand and to zvisely guide the human clement, that its expression may alzvays be that of agreeable and sincere courtesy, of willing and conscientious service.

MI8S MARY GARRETT HAY As men politicians see It, she IS the supreme test of how far the parties may expect absolute submission from the women voters and what force Is to be looked for to support the distaff side of the house when the tacit demand for a new deni In candidates Is injected into the close harmonies of political programs. More than all. Miss Hay In her person exemplifies to the doubting element of both parties the dreaded third party, a petticoat hierarchy, which may at will upset all orderly slates and commit undreamed-of executions at the polls. Her Opposition to Wadsworth The first and obvious reason for the bitter attacks now being focused on Miss Hay Is her avowed opposition to Senator James W. Wadsworth Jr, as cundldate uo succeed himself next year.

Mr Wadsworth hns been the consistent opponent of woman suffrage In this Ml ate and in the United States Senate. East Spring In Albany when the Barnes Republicans gave a luncheon for the women of tihe party at which Mr Wadsworth was a speaker. Miss Hay, a member of the State Republican Committee, created a sensation by refusing to alt at the guest table with hint. Now, as a National officer, she re- peats that her attitude is the same; she has not changed her mind, but she adds with a cryptic smile: I hope to vote a Republican candidate. This Is the first Instance of a National officer, maintaining her position and definitely throwing down the gage.

It Is for the Republican party to take It up or let it lie. She will stand or fall by her decision. Meantime the hue and cry for her official head has ueen raised in the ranks of the stand-pat Republican women, who entered the suffrage ranks only at the nod of (heir party and will vote in absolute obedience to party dictates. The antlsuffraglsts, who have accepted the ballot that was thrust Into their hands and are enrolled in the parties, are seeking by every means in their power to rally their forces to the defense of Senator Wadsworth as their champion as well as to compass the political destruction of Miss Hay. To these two elemtns are added that percentage of the Democratic women who see In the split In the Republican ranks their possible advantage.

And while the battle rages men on both sides of the party divide are seeking the shelter of neutral ground and awaiting the outcome. The vast arms- of women In the National Suffrage Association, now resolving itself. State by State. Into the Eeague of Women Voters as fast as Mtate ratifications of the Federal amendment permit, is the real thorn in the side of politicians of both parties. Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt, National Suffrage president, now on a transcontinental tour in the interests of ratification, will return shortly to New York with the record of 20 out of the necessary 3ti States to make the amendment effective.

A number of extra sessions culled In various States for December and regular sessions duo in January are counted on by the suffragists to complete the ratification by January. This will not only enfranchise the women of the country in time for the Presidential election, out will develop In nearly every State a home guard of disciplined workers under the nonpartisan banner of the League of Women Voters prepared to take the field. This is the bugaboo which gives pause to the male, leaders of both parties. How far Is It to be accepted on Its own basis as a promoter of men and measures Irrespective of partv, though Its members are enrolled in the different parties of their choice? Misses Dresses $50 As Sketched This dainty French model is one of the new slip-on' dresses; it is developed in French blue crepe dechine with the new accordion pleated tier skirt and has a finished simplicity that is ex-. quisite.

Miss Hay Is the responsible organizer of the 4S States in the Union. In every relation throughout her record a clubwoman, a Suffragist, a cam- tiaigner, her genius for organization has een conspicuous. Known from Maine to California in the vast organizations of the club world, she has brought to the disciplining of her army great experience quickened by native talent. It was Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt who eight years ago evolved the idea of the Nuffrage party, patterned it every particular after the big political parties.

It was Miss Huy who made that party a practical entity, a machine skilled In assembly district work. Miss Hay throughout her political work has never abandoned her Interest or lost her hold on her club clientele, keeping her hand on the National pulse through its various groups of women. She has been called a politician In the club world, but her supporters point out that no one has better demonstrated the loyalty of her sex or shown in new alliance a more thorough forgetfulness of old prejudice. In addition to her other offices in New York she Is the president of the Womens City Club, an organization of large civic scope, of force as well as distinction. Miss Hay has manifested leanings to the conservative and contructive; she has been in no sense the iolitical wrecker and has deprecated aggressive measures.

Her position in regard to Senator Wadsworth is the most radical of her history. a There are only a few numbers mentioned, but we have a complete line, from small mat rugs to large carpets, to be found in our new Rug Department Fourth Floor Chauncy Street Annex Mother Goose, Raggedy Ann, Flower and Animal Children Fairy Stories. $1.25 to $2.50 Mechanical Boats $1 .00 to $7.50 Mechanical Trains $2.00 to $7.50 Chemcraft Sets $1 .50 to $5.00 Picture I'uzzles 25c to $3.50 Paint Sets 25c to $3.50 Toy Pianos 65c to $10.50 Wonder Blocks $1.25 Cooking Outfits 75c to $2.00 Blackboards $1 .00 to $4.75 Tool Chests 65c to $4.50 the wholesale dealers at 4i to cents a pound, large cod to 7 cents market PORT OF BOSTON rf.lk: fr.rn O-y of Ur-n. a. came in from Grand Manan, with l5.0O pounds of salt hake.
