Sir: In reading over the current issue of the paper one notices what great preparation is being taken, to cope with this most terrible disease, "The Spanish Flu." This is, of course, quite necessary, but what are we doing to prevent it? Are we going to wait until Toronto Is in a panic, like Ottawa and London? Is it right the people should be allowed to congregate anywhere at such a time as this? In passing various movies one notices the signs: "This house is thoroughly disinfected," etc.

It is not the house itself which would be a germ carrier, but the person one sit next to. We are told not to may go and those that do must put up with the consequences. This is all very well as far as it goes, but do we not owe our brave boys overseas something! What about our circulating libraries? Of course, this will cause inconvenience, but that should be a second consideration where the lives of those "left behind" are concerned. Are we not going to take serious steps to protect those lines? The time to mend the fence is before the child has fallen, not after. Citizens, we want our soldier lad's "Thank you" when he comes back, not his "Why didn't you?" From a believer of A STITCH IN TIME.

Theatres and Movies. To the Editor of The Star. Sir: Our M. O. H.

is certainly to be commended for a great deal that he does in behalf of the public health, but it is past my comprehension why he should close the Public schools, dance halls, and not close the theatres and movies, many of which are nothing' places disease. I notice that fombreedine large theatre companies are appealing to the M. O. H. for exemption.

and it looks as though they have a strong "pull" in that quarter. Why? Toronto. J. PASCOE BEEL. Toronto Should Have Had Cordwood.

To the Editor of The Star. Sir: Many a home will be gladdened by the recent news appearing in the press that the coal dealers have arranged with the City Council to supply the 12,000 applicants for coal with one ton each during the next few days, and Fuel Commissioner Chisholm deserves great credit for his untiring efforts in the work he has accomplished in this direction. But it cannot be said that the City Council deserve any praise for their efforts used towards helping out the fuel shortage. Most every citizen was aware in the early spring that there was going to be a shortage of coal for the coming winter, and it was at that time the City Council should have got for purchasing hardwood to help out busy made some arrangements and, the shortage of coal. There was abundance of wood that could have been purchased from Algonquin Park through the Government had the City Council taken the trouble to obtain same.

The city of Hamilton got busy, and we find they are now in a position to supply hardwood to the citizens around nine dollars a cord, while in Toronto the prevailing price is from eighteen to twenty dollars a cord. Here is another instance where the workingman is called upon to pay an exorbitant price for fuel due to the want little forethought by our City Council. At the time negotiations should have been on the way for the purchase of hardwood the members of the City Council were busy discussing the shortage of pork, and eventually voted $7,500 for purchasing pigs to be fed on sterilized I wonder how many of the garbage. working class will ever be fortunate enough to enjoy a good meal of Toronto-fed pork when the pigs are ready for disposal. Surely there is justifiable reason criticism of our City Council in their "asleep-at-theswitch" policy, which clearly shows lack of efficiency.

A. STUBBINGS. Let Jitneys Relieve the Car Shortage. To the Editor of The Star. Sir: In view of the rapidly spreading number of cases of "flu" here is a suggestion: Start aa agitation for a jitney service at once.

As there is probably no place where people gather in such cramped quarters as they do in the Toronto street cars, especially at present, and as there does not seem to be anyone big enough either in City Hall or elsewhere to compel the T. S. R. to run at least all the cars they have it seems an opportune time to revive the jitney. Why they don't place firemen, policemen or soldiers on these cars at such a time is beyond me.

There ought to be enough regard for the lives of people to enable even the T. S. R. and the Toronto officials to arrive at some solution even if only for the duration of the epidemic. But no, people can fall by the thousands, still they must have their little petty quarrels.

Well, to return to the jitney. Why it was stopped, or at least made unprofitable before, I guess, was that the city at the end of four years or so was going to take over the T. S. R. and did not want the jitaey flourishing at that time and, people accustoned to using them.

At least, if that was not the reason, why the many regulations and big license fees? Outside of the influenza outbreak there never was a place that needed jitneys as bad as Toronto does. I remember when they tried a year or so ago a group of business men who, if they could get a few years' franchise from the city to protect their investment, would have purchased some large auto busses. This was not granted. Now I know comparisons are ofttimes odious. but a similar situation developed in Bridgeport, U.S.

This city, as you know. is one of the big munition centres now. and, like Toronto, rushed with work and naturally had a very large increase in their population. The street railway was unable to keep with conditions. So autos and auto- were pressed into service get the workers to work.

From this grew a regular jitk. ney service and they have them now by the hundreds, and the street cars are just comfortably filled; not unfit for cattle even, as they are here. Ther they were treated as a necessity and nuisance. There were busses holding about fifteen people, pay-asyou-enter, running on all car lines: also hundreds of Fords. But no large license is charged and they are treated by traffic officers the same as street cars.

They charge six cents there, the same as the street cars. I thought at the time, it is too bad they can't be encouraged in Toronto some way. What do you think about it? Wouldn't it be better to relieve the situation for the next four years and CREDIT Beautiful Fall and Winter Suits For Women and Misses $1 A WEEK You'll find a wonderful selection to choose from in this fine stock of new suits Here you get quality as well as reasonable prices and easy terms.
