QUESTION OF NERVE.
Once more stress Is placed on the
fact that women conductors checked
an Impending panic when a subway
train ran wild In New York city, says
Philadelphia Telegraph.
From this
one would naturally gather that It Is
unusuul for women to meet a big
emergency without some hysteria, but
Is this the right Impression? There Is
reason to believe that man Is not su
perlor to woman in the matter of
nerve.
Is it the man who remains
calm and knows Just what to do when
something happens to the children? Is
It the man who, while wnlklng along
the street, tears his petticoat in strips
nnd hinds up the bleeding hurts oi
some injured person? Is It the man
who can sit In a dental chair and knit
a sweater while having teeth repnlred?
Many men, of course, are Justified In
boasting of their nerve, but a greut
surgeon who has to have a cool, col
lected nurse at his side during a erlti
cal operation will tell you that it is
not alwn.vs the woman who grows falnl
and has to be carried out.
