The com muters usk that the slxt-tiip monthb tickets be loweied dining Februaiy. The slxtj-tilp monthly ticket now be ing sold, Mr. Buckley contends, leaves j the commuteis with nl least four tiips which they cannot possibly use In Febru ary. He maintains that the railroad, in this month, docs not give commuters a "reasonable time" within the meaning of the law, to use up their tickets. Huponnlblllty Shifted Henry Wolf Blkle, lepresentlng the Pennslvanla Railroad, opened his argu men with the statement that even if the claim made by Mr. Buckley should be sound, the railroail was powerless to grant It, since orders for any changes In presen rates must come from the of fice of the railroad administration. The Pennsylvania, like the Lehigh Valley and other railroads, Is now awaiting an i expected decision ti tne supieme rouit of the I'nlted States deciding whether in Intrastate matters tho federal govern-1 ment may assume authority. At tho opening of the hearing Mr. .ucKiey round it necessary to Pomt out mat tup, mini Rum nam nv rnniinniprs to the railroad during February was sufficiently large to warrant a hearing J of the question. "Oh, Psbawl" F:rlntnm Mcorn Mr. Alcorn persistently inquired of tht railroad's attorney why the rallioads ; did not take a definite stand regarding government supervision. At the open ing of Mr. Elklc's argument, when re sponsibility for fare changes was dis claimed, Commissioner Alcorn exclaim ed "Oh, pshaw!" Whllo disclaiming responsibility for the rates the Pennsylvania Railroad does not concedo tho Justice of the com muters' claims The commutation tickets wero originally sold on a iiasis of fifty-four rides per month, the officials stated, and six additional rides were added as a gratuity when commuters asked for them. F. G. Fall, assistant controller for the railroad, and Richard J. De Long, assist ant general passenger agent, testified at tho hearing, both claiming that the railroad has no right at present to chango rates, no matter what its attitude may be. Decision was withheld by Commis sioner Alcorn pending the decision ex pected somo time In April, when an ap peal taken in Montana is expected to clearly defino whether or not the federal administrator haa power to Ignore the various etate commissions when fixing Intrastate rates, both passenger and freight. Another case heard was that of tho Lehigh Navigation Electric Company against the Lehigh and New Kngland Railroad Company The Issue was one of advanced freight rates and involved tho samo principle aa the local dispute It was also held over for a later hearing before the whole commission after the Montana ruling la announced.

Slddon's had alieady taught ten jeais In the public schools In Philadelphia, but she was still a slip of a girl when forty jears ago she was made the first woman principal of the Tyndalo school then on Rope Ferry road. Today grandchildren of those lirst pupils of hers me almost leadv to enter the school Standing 111 the loom, whkh forty years ago was the only one In the school, Miss Slddons today told Incidents of her many years of teaching. She celebrated her fiftieth annlversaiy as a teacher this week. Her hair is a soft, snowy white, set off by the plain black coBtumo she usually weals In the school room. There Is a merry twinkle in her blue eyes that shine behind spectacles, and her cheeks are smooth and girlish looking. ' Oh, 1 m not decrepit," sho laughed ' when some one remarked at her appear- ance. "I feel just as strong and vigor ous as I did at sixteen, And I can take caie of the children just as well, but I suppose In a year or two I shall give up my work here. I hate to think of that, but I'd leally like to try living like a 'lady of leisure' for a few years. I have a home, you know, at 1411 South Fifty-eighth 'street, but I haven't had time all these years to do much more lhan sleep at home." I.oat Only Tno Weeka In all this half century of work Miss Slddons has missed only to weeks on account of illness. "Twenty jears ago," she said as cas ually as though it were a few days ago. "I was out of hcfiool a month be cause of my sister's lllnes.s And then In the blizzard of 1888 I was unable to get through the snowdrifts for a week. You see I had to walk to school then because theie wernt any cars. For twenty-one years I walked from Thir teenth and Reed streets to tho Tyndale School. Even now I often walk part way from home I did this morning be cause tt was such 0 splendid day "Ves, there have been vast changes In the school, the methods of teaching and In tho community since I started teach ing out here. Tho trolleys and tele phones have made much difference in tho community. When I first came this was just a small building, erected, I believe, in 1842. There was tho one schoolroom with a room for tho Jan itress upstairs. We had a big old wood stove, with a screen around It to keep the children from getting burned. There was a platform and a high chair for me, and tho children Bat on long benches with home-made desks. There were only seven pupils when L started. They were big boys who came only about three months of the year hecauso they were needed on the farm other times. But after I came 1 maae it a plnt to have tho school open regularly every day for tne entire scnooi verm, and gradually the younger boys and girls camo in. Keepa Unruffled Temper "When the enrollment grew to seventy lir the hoard of directors (for wo didn't have superintendents or a board of education then) decided I needed an as sistant. So another teacher was ap pointed and for a while we both taught In this same room. In 1869 the new .sec tion of the building was added, giving us two new rooms. A little later the third teacher waB added to our staff and we have continued with the number. We have about eighty pupils now and the school Includes all grades from one-A to elght-B." Perhaiis It Is because Miss Slddons cornea from Quaker ancestors, who first came to America In 1623, and Isn't easily ruffled by the pranks and Incon tlBtencles of childhood, that sho retains so much of youth herself. I never allow myself to become wor STETSON HATS The name Stetson means more to you today than ever in the style and quality of, your hat. JOHN B.

Miss Slddons has not only kept up, but also lias gone ahead, In many icepects, of the prescribed curriculum. Several of her former pupils aro now teaching Bcliool In Philadelphia. Others are successful business men and women, nnd some have, married and sent their children to Miss Slddons for preliminary tiainlng.

FRIENDS HOLDING JOINT MEETING Report on Peace Committee Activities at Afternoon Business Session DISCUSS NATION LEAGUE Resolution Defines View Toward Members in War . Service The usual Joint meeting for worship of men and women was held this morn ing at the Fourth und Arch Streets Meeting House, where the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends Ii In ses sion. The activities of the peace committee will be reported at the business session this afternoon. The question whether or not Westtowrf School, which Is owned and supported by the Yearly Meeting? shall admit nonmembers of the Society of Friends will be discussed. Thomas Raeburn White will speak on the league of nations at the meeting to night at Fourth and Arch streets. "The International Situation from the Chris tian Viewpoint" will be the BUbJect of John Haynes Holmes.' The meeting to night will be held, under the auspices of the peace committee of the Philadel phia Yearly Meeting of Friends. ' Art on Service Men Action toward members who have been In the service was discussed at the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends yesterday. It was decided that the monthly meetings should have the right to act with respect to members who had been In service. v George M. Warner, of Germantown, declared that: "Our duty Is not lo cx c'udo and cut off others, and fence our selves about; but to Include and Join with others, There Iibb been a tendency toward too much exclusion In the past." Harold Evans pointed out that It was to a large extent the fault of the society that it had not been able to Bhow by example and precept that there was an atmosphere which made war Impossible. I in adopting the louowing minute iTieniis relt that now tuat members in the service had seen tho evils of war they would be more ready lo unlto with the society In its testimonies. The min ute Is as follows: "A number of our members have ac cepted government service In one form or another. Some of these have taken direct military training In tho army or navy, others havo accepted noncombatant serv ice of one form or another. Very many, however, have upheld our testimony against war, somo of our younger Friends as uncompromising conscientious! objectors, in some cases at the cost or considerable hardships and exercise of spirit. Others Have given their time and strength freely to construction and relief work abroad. Probably none of us has escaped from adding, unavoidably, some thing toward the world war. It Is clear, however, that while there are those who have tacitly Ignored our testimony, as the war has progressed, many have be come more firmly convinced that all war Is contrary to the spirit of Christ, and have sincerely endeavored to maintain n faithful stand against bearing arms anu all connection with military service. We believe that all this varlejy of feeling and Judgment has called out clCBe and heartfelt searching, and tho spirit of accusation has been held In abeyance to another spirit which would seek for op portunities to help those who have failed to maintain this Christian testimony.

Williams, of Rosemont. The aubject of theatres, amusements and the use of Intoxicating liquors came up In the women's meeting, and It was evident the cducntlonal value of the legitimate drama was recognized. The renorta showed that hardly any Friends kused Intoxicating liquor In any form. $19,900 FOR WHARF SITE Damages Assessed for River-Front Land Taken by City Francis S. Cantreli, Jr., Itobert B.
