Sr that the I'ubllc Service Commission
.iM irant a certificate of public convenl
m autnorUlnB the Department of City
?r.rMt to proceed with the construction of

The question raised by Commissioner
Itvsn as to whether It would bo equitable
to expend about 1.?00.000 for a lino to
KatOt fewer than ono-thlrd of one per cent
if IKo city's population. It was declared,
Would be more pertinent when applied to tho
Jh'rtmno extension of tho Krankford "IV
above Brldgo street
.Thta extension tacked on to tho original
Tarlor plan will run through virtual farm
bad which Is already cnjoylmr trolley ser
vice and will cost approximately 12,100,000
tit three miles, ns against u coat of II,

TWINING DIDN'T KNOW
Although nono of the Northeast deten

Mlly.planW by former Transit Director A.
Herrltt Taylor, Commissioner llyan naked
Transit Director Twlnlnff point blank why
thechanco was made, Mr. Twining replied
Uat he did not know.
The- Inquiry by tho commlujloner was
made when It developed that cars could
Jit run on tho Taylor lino at n speed be
tween twenty and twenty-flvo miles an hour
and on tho present proposed routo at only
twilre to fifteen miles. As speed' seemed to
be the object. Mr. Hyan sought to learn
Trait had been Rained by sacrificing speed
for the new route. ,
It was evident from tho testimony and tho
, jettmates made by both Director Twining
' and Assistant Director Atkinson that more
than five cents will havo to lie charged for
' a ride over the full ten miles of tho line If

Bide a plea for a five-cent fare, but it was
not Indicated how the line could be mado
profitable. Mr. Connelly intimated that
tinder such conditions the Philadelphia
llspld Transit Company might not operate
the line, with the result that It would be a
dty-operated an well as clty-hullt line.
Director Krusen, of tho Department of
Public Health and Charities, also pleaded
for the construction of the line on account
cf the benefits It would bring to the city
farms at ljyberry. Assistant Director Mace

Tho Delglan nil tanker Kasbek has ar

a bombardment of more than an hour hy
a 'Teuton submarine In the Mediterranean.
Tho tanker escaped without a scrntch by

marine. For more than an hour shells were fired
nt tho tanker from two rnpld-flro guns on
tho U-boat. These whizzed past the oil ship
and many fell short. Members of tho crow
said they considered their escapo almost
miraculous.
Darkness brought a halt to tlie chase,
nnd Captain Hytor through glasses watched
tho U-boat glvo up In despair and submerge.
Tho Knsbek arrived to take on a cargo
of oil.

Mrs. Gallagher and Family Sleep Peacefully While New

Damps Clothes Again
What shall a woman do with tho family
wash when It starts to rain? Taking It
Inside seems tn bo about tho best way of
sotting the problem. Hut suppose tho wash
Is still wet? To leave It In the yard would
mako It still wetter well, then, why not
hang It In the cellar?
Thafa what Mrs. Mary Oallagher. of
373 Lancaster avenue, did. Hut there
was a, big healthy furnace In the cellar
and Its warm glow soon took the chill off
tho many articles of shivering npparel
which hung near.
Mm. flallagher and other members of
the family slept on comfortably whllo
the wash was drying. Hut tho furnace
gnvo the damp clothes suoh i warm wel
come that they curled up and burst Into
flame.
Then tho firemen wcro called to put
tho wash out and .11 got all wet ngaln.

9 For Many years we have
i ne iriaicmess v
one possible objection to a Player-Piano in the hands of a novice the mechanical effect
caused by the operator not knowing the exact time to increase or diminish tiV ound.
'' '
Some owners of Player-Pianos never acquire the ability to interpret l composition.
Now all is changed. What was heretofore a result of practice is instantaneous with
the Reo-style'.
The Reo-slyle does away with the use of buttons or levers, interpreting the hardest compo
sition, so that should you desire to use the buttons you can do so as a master musician. .The Reo
style follows the line on the roll, and every expression, from the most subdued Pianissimo to the
loudest Fortissimo, is brought out as by the accomplished musician.
U The Reo-style is our Patent, and found only on the .Cunningham-made Pianos. It is the
long-wished-for device that gives to a Player-Piano the exact .expression and touch of the master
long-
musician;
