jgnDMCHARTBD PERILS
jCommander Stackhouse
Tells of His Plans for
Research in the Ship Dis
covery. "
Philadelphia scientists are Interested In
the seven-year voyage of exploration to
Btart next spring (or the purpose of dls
cAvering and charting Islands and rocks
In every sea. nnd ocean, the exact location
of which Ih now Unknown.
A. Foster Stackhouse, who will com
mand the expedition, has been In this
fclty conferring with the ofllcers nnd mem
bers of the Geographical Society on the
jiroject for somo time.
The International Oceanographlcat ex
pedition Is the title given to the venture
In England, where It originated. Pri
marily It una the Intention of Mr. Staek
Jiousc to chart onty the multitude of small
( Islands nnd rocks around the entrances
ko the Panama Canal. At present theso
Islands constitute n menace to naviga
tion, ns heretofore there never has been
' pieces? Ity for charting them.
The ship Discovery will be used on the
voyage. It was built under the super
vision of the British Admiralty, which
parly In the planning recognized the Im
portance of the charting expedition and
requested the commander to enlnrge Its
icopc. New lines of investigation have
toecn suggested by teveral other Govorn-
i incuts and by scientific societies.
. Commander Stackhouse has gone to
Washington, where he is staying nt the
jCosmos Club. He Is expected to return
to this city for further conferences with
, scientific men the middle of next month,
while- no nctlon has been taken so far
1 2' the societies here to appropriate funds
' rfor the expenses of the voynge, It Is
' understood Hint the Individual member
ore well disposed toward It.
Considerable scientific data that will
e of the utmost value to the explorers
will be piovlded by the Geographical So
ciety here and Its members. Scientists
nt Washington also will co-opernte.
The Discovery will sail for this coun
try from England next spring. It has
not been decided whether or not It will
ome to this city. A stop nt Washington
ot about three weeks to enable those
who will go on the voyage to study the
Intest American charts will be made.
Commenting on this. Commander Stack
house said:
'I expect to obtain valuable Information
Jit to uncharted Islands, rocks and shoals
n the oceans of thf world from sclentlllo
todies In Washington.
'-'Every year many a bravo ship sots
out from port. Is spoken perhaps once or
twice nt sea and then Is heard of no
more. She vanishes without sign or ex
Iilantlon. What happens to these vessels?
"Britain In supposed ft rulo tho waves.
3t's up to us now to find out what's un
der them. In three years shlpi hnvo loft
port and have never been heard of again,
representing a tonnage of 131,615 and lOT
men.
"Of thes6 67.RS0 were British tonnage
and CG.773 foreign. Assuming cargo and
vessel to have been worth JIM a ton,
thai means a clear loss of J12.0C0 a day,
to say nothing of six lives a day.
"Near the spot where the Titanic sank
ubmerged rocks or Islands have been re
Tortcd on three different dates In 1S06,
1S27 and 1655. They probably represent
a husc submerged rock or volcano, prob
ably the tall of the Great Bnnk of New
foundland, around which Icebergs and
ice. attracted and held by gravitation,
have gathered. If the tall of the great
bank Is really near where thn Titanic
sank, ships would give that place a wide
berth In the future."

BRYN MAWR IS AROUSED
Clrls Indigrnant Over New Bule
Against "Cutting."
Students of Bryn Mawr College are
Wghly Indignant today over the new rule
announoed by the faculty against absence
from classes, commonly known as "cut
ting," and heretofore permitted. A pen
alty of one per cent, of marks for each
of the first eight cuts, and two per cent,
ior each cut after that Is provided by the
Jiew rule,
A meeting of the students to protest
gainst the new order may be held to
day, and when Dr. M. Carey Thomas,
president of the Institution, returns today
he will be petitioned to make It less
drastic.
Nearly alt big colleges and universities
permit a certain amount of cutting.
Heretofore there has been no rule to
cover the practice at Bryn Mawr and
the students realize that It has been
abused. At the same time they think an
absolute rule against it Is too harsh.
Dean Isabel Maddlson, in charge of
Jiubllclty work for the college, said to
day that the new rule Is a small matter.
She declared the rule against cutting has
always existed and the only new action
taken was to affix a penalty for viola
tion, as the students would not obey
otherwise.

PENN SENIORS TO PUNISH
FRESHMEN WHO DISOBEY
Rules Disregarded by Pirst-year Men.
Committee Will Investigate.
If tho freshmen of the University of
Pennsylvania do not Hvo up to traditional
rules of conduct, somebody Is going to
hear about It. Tho somebody will be the
refactory freshmen nnd tho authority will
be tho senior class.
President "Jimmy" Patterson, of the
senior class, has nppolnted a committee
to see that the freshmen rules aro ob
served by all the freshmen.
No subject has been more discussed on
the University campus than the Increas
ing negligence of each enteilng class to
live up to the time-honored customs. Since
1911, when hazing was prohibited, each
year has seen a more flagrant disregard
of the regulations. Fewer black eyes huve
been worn. Freshmen failed to carry
matches and violated the other mles.
A movement for tho re-estubllshment of
hazing was itnrted Inst ear on account
of the open disregard nnd arrogance of
some of last year's freshmen. To prevent
a repetition of this nnd to effect a
compromise between those clamoring for
the good old days of hazing nnd (tho
faculty prohibition of hazing, the com
mittee was appointed to act ns a triounal.
In the architectural department, where
a better esprit dp corps obtulns than In
the other departments, the tlme-honoicd
custom of "tubhlm;" freshmen ontlnues.
Whenever a fieshmen gets "fresh" among
the architects he Is given his Pennsyl
vania baptism under the filnk. He Is im
mersed until he li sure that he has
learned that a "freshle's" place Is to be
seen nnd not hoard.
"Sink parties" ar fienuent In the de
partment, nnd serve tho double purpose
of keeping tho youngsters In their place
and providing a delightful diversion for
the upperelassmen. Tho architectural
freshmen as a result nre the best behaved
"freshles" on tho campus and do not need
as much supervision as their mates in
the other departments, wno are not as
closely associated with uppcrclassmen.
FIRE DESTROYS LANDMARK
Famous Old Structure Once Fronted
on Germantown Avenue.
Fire removed a famous old German
ton n landmark enrly this morning, when
the 2li-story frame structure in the

Until a few years ago the frame dwell
ing fronted on Germantown avenue. Then
Mr. Ott decided to build a new house.
but at the request of old residents moved
thtf frame building back on his property
rather than tear it down. The origin of
the blaze this morning Is not knqwn.

nue, for a term of seven years, in order
to fill the orders for goods which con
tinue to come In.
Speaking of business conditions today,
Edward G. Budd, president of the firm,
said that business had never been better
for his Arm than In the last two years.
"At present," said he, "we nre working
a day and night shift In order to get
out orders for nutomoblle bodies and In
terior trimmings, most of which were re
ceived In June. Our ordors will keep us
busy for a year and it Is because of the
Increase In business that ve are com
pelled to seek larger quarters In order
to handle the business."
There are 600 persons on tho payroll
and of this number It was found neces
sary to -take on 2M since the first of the
yar.
11 is expected that the company will
move Into the new building which has
been leased In the first week In December.
With an Increased number of steel stamp
In machines for turning out their
products, the capacity of the' plant will
be nearly doubled In order to fill the big
demand for goods. Members of the firm
expressed themselves as optimistic about
business today, and said they would em
ploy several hundred mare persons when
they were settled In the new plant
The bulldlps which has been taken by
the company Is near the Beading and
the Pennsylvania tracks, and a siding of
each road runs Into the factory. This
will facilitate the shipment of work to
the Pullman, Brill and Cincinnati and
Southern car companies, which have
placed largo orders with the Philadel
phia concern.
SWITCH CAUSES TTE-UP
Defect in Interlocking- Device Delays
Traffic at Ferries.
A defect in the Interlocking device
of a switch at the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company elevated terminal,
South street and Delaware avenue, at
t:10 o'clock this morning, caused a H
minute tie-up of westbound trains, whl?h
resulted In slight annoyance to the Phila
delphia commuters from Camden.
This Is not the "rush" hour, however,
for uptown tromc, and by switching east
bounds cars to the westbound tracks at
the Market street switch the company
was able to remedy the trouble with,
little difficulty.

Delegates to Tuberculosis
Conference Discuss Ways
and Means for This Cam
paign at First Session.
More than ft hundred delegates aa
sdmblcd at the First North Atlantlo
Tuberculosis Conference held thin morn
ing the South Garden of the Bellevue
Btrattord. The entire work of the first session,
which lasted for two hours, was given
over to discussions of the ways nnd
means of furthering1 tho sale of Red Cross
seals and advertising the campaign In
general.
Tho conference embraces the States of
Now York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Marylnnd, Virginia and tho
District of Columbia, and all its dist
ricts were represented. Dr. William
Charles White, of Pittsburgh, president
of the association, was the chairman.
Charloa !M. DeForcst, sales manager of
the Red Cross Sales of the State Chari
ties Aid Association of Now York, was
tho first speaker. Ills topic was the new
method of selling seals by mail as tried
In New York.
Paul 13. Batzell, executive secretary of
the Association for the Rcllof and Con
trol of Tuberculosis, of Buffalo, spoko on
the large part that the school children
can play In the selling and distribution
of Red Cross seals. In Buffalo, he said,
prizes had been offered to the chlldron
who sold the greatest number, and to
tho schools holding the best records type
writers and pianos had been given. In
this way the children were responslblo
for more than DO per cent, of the annual
sales.
Ifo caused laughter, however, by saying
that tho scheme, despite Its apparont
practicability, had to b eabandoned be
cause It was found that certain children,
not the hardest workers by any means,
but those who got money from home to
help their campaigning, were winning all
the prizes.
Tho place of John Fox Weiss, chair
man of the Red Cross Christmas Seal
Committee, of Harrlsburg. who was
scheduled to speak on publicity and ad
vertising, but who was unable to bo
present.' was taken by E. A. Jloreo,
publicity agent for the Charities Aid of
New York city. Jlr. Moree dectied tho
policy of attempting to get any results
from the so-called free advertising.
To receive any recognition in the news
columns of a paper, said ho, It was
"often necessary to insert an ad in pro
portion to the amount of space desired "
Frank H. Mann, Secretary of the New
York City Committee on the Prevention
of Tuberculosis In New York, spoke on
the most pffectlvc placing of booths, and
Mrs. Theodora N. McLaughlin, secretary
of the Red Cross Chapter of the District
of Columbia, the last speaker. In her ad
diess on "Personal Work and Individual
Solicitation," emphasized the great part
that voluntary workers played In the
Red Cross work.
