Fascinating article in the source newspaper: "At Last Cynthia Grey Discovers Chivalrous Man". Basically a reporter rode the crowded Seattle public transportation until someone offered her a seat, and then she gave him a ten dollar bill (about $375 in today's dollars?) that her editor gave her for the "reward". However, he gave it back and just "ogled" her instead until she left. The whole thing sounds like what a streamer would do nowadays.
Also a couple brief notes involving Japanese-Americans in "News of the State":
