The meeting was Ticld in tho Slcjiodlst Church, and was attended by more than 400 persons. Ilnrry J. Bclz, president of the Colingswood Chamber of Commerce, presided and announced that lie had been requested, as Jiead of the Chamber, to agree to a return to the prc-zone fare rate of seven cents. He added that he had been told the Tubllc Serv ice would agree to such a proposal. The meeting, ho said, was called to get the sentiment of the people before tak ing action. The outcome of the affair was. the passage of resolutions instructing the borough solicitorJudge John 1). Kates, to "demand" thot the zone fair system be abolished forthwith and the straight five-cent faro with free transfers be re stored, Judge Kates is appearing before the governor todayNn the hearing of the charges against the utilities commis sioners. A fund also was raised by public sub scription for tho employment of counsel in the drafting of a bill amending the utilities act, which will be submitted to all candidates for the state legislature 'in the state before the election next month, and on which they will be asked to take a stand. An appeal to the Association of Mu nicipalities also will bo made to take a test case of the Colllngswood Sewer Company to the United States Supreme Court for final decision. The question involved is the same as the present frolley controversy upholding of utili ties franchises. v The sewer case already has been fought through the state courts nnd is ready for presentation to the Federal Supreme Court. It was further agreed that if the other municipalities, nil of which are similarly nffectcd, icfuse to co-operate, Collingswood counsel shall boinstructcd to' proceed with the case alone.

Tho news that the Young Democ racy oxpectcd' to have girls picket the next meeting of the board in tho Admin istration Building, Nineteenth nnd Market streets, cnrrylng banners with such legends as "Can autocracy teach democracy?" brought a hearty lnugli from Thomas Boyle, banker, nnd, until Harry T. Stoddart was appointed last week, tho youngest member of the board. ' "Great 1" said Mr. Boyle. "I'll bo suro to bo there. I don't want to miss any attractions. That ought to mnkc a mighty interesting meeting." Then, in more serious vein, he com mented upon the organization of young men and women to fight the board. "It they arc wanting to put bojs nnd girls on the Board or Education, it is all right with me," ho said. "I have found thcro are no honors to tho job. It is a lot of work for nothing. Any time they want to put n boy in my place they are welcome. "But I think it is the easiest thing in the world to suggest improvements nnd tell other people how to do things. When a man like John WananinKrr gives his time day nftcr dav to study ing tho financial problems of the school i system it goes to show that everything is being done that possibly can be. It Is all very well to suggest that the schools should have llis course or that activity, or mat we fiioiim nave many pointed to work out details of n spectac ular campaign. There will be girls who will be known ns "silent sentinels" nnd they will picket the administration building nt board meetings, Haunting banners nnd legends concerning the de ficiencies of the board.

GLOVES FOR MEN. WOMEN. & CHILDREN U. OF P. NEEDS EQUIPMENT Gazette Points to Growing Enroll ment and Inadequate Facilities Record enrollment in tho undergradu ate departments of the University ot Pennsylvania with tho certain stend lucreaso has made obvious the need for more equipment, more endowment nnd a larger faculty, according to the Penn sjlvania Gazette. "There can be no question but that the University is at tho beginning of a great expansion," says the Gazette. "But this steady increase in the under graduate body moans that we must have more equipment, more endowment nnd n larger faculty. Many of the build ings are much too small for the classes they must house ana several of tho de partments are scattered throughout u number of buildings. "The School of Education, for "exam ple, is obliged to house Us teachers here, thcro and everywhere. This school is steadily increasing in size nnd import ance. Its work is so important and growing so rapidly that it should have a building of its own. "For a number of years nearly every building on tho campus hns been oer taxed to care for the steadily Increas ing number of students. It will be some time before the total enrollment for this year is tabulated, but we al ready know that the throng of students anxious to obtain their collegiate educa tion at Pennsylvania has broken all records."
