The forgetfulness of people travelling on cars regarding their luggage is a uost extraordinary thing, according to the remarks of Mr. Frank Thompson, manager of the Christchurch tramways during an address to the Workers EducaHon Association. Last year, he said, no fewer than- 313S articles were left in the Christchurch cars, and they compnsed a fearful and wondorfu collection. The number of push-carts left behind by mothers was, for instance, remarkable, and the way in which such articles got mixed was also..' extraordinary Mr. Thompson laughingly added that en at least ono occasion, even the babi«s got mixed. A mother got out, and the conductor having handed her her push-cart, further assisted by handing out the child He handed out the one nearest the door, and the car was well under way before it was discovered that he had selected the wrong baby, to the distraction tion of both mothers concerned.
