NEW TRAFFIC AID
NRAILROADSHERE
William Hodgdon, Long in Serv
ice of Ponnsy, Succeeds C.
Rk Capps, Who Resigned
HAS HAD WIDE EXPERIENCE
SWARTHMORE PARENTS SAY
CHILDREN NOT DIFFERENT
Declare They Arc No Worse Than Those of Other Communi
ties Take Steps to Stop Evidences of Petty Moral Laxness
William Hodgdon, former trnffle man
ager of the rtnnsylvnnla Railroad,
Western Lines, has been appointed truf
fle assistant to Regional Director i. "W.
Baldwin. lie succeeds C. R. Capps,
who has' resigned from th United States
railroad administration. Mr. Capps will
resume his duties as senior vice presi
dent of tho Seaboard Air Line nt Nor
folk. The new traffic assistant has been
pflnnMtjrl with the Pennsylvania Rail
road since 1805, when ho was appointed
general freight agent of the Cleveland,
AKron ana uommous imiirouu at uiuvu
land. Two years later ho was transferred
to Columbus as n general freight agent
nnd in 1003 becamo general freight
agent of the Vandalia Railroad at St.
Louis.
In 1007 he was appointed freight traf
flo manager of the Pennsylvania Lines
West of Pittsburgh. January 1, 1017,
upon the reorganization of tho traffic
department ho was made general traffic
manager, in charge of freight and pas
senger traffic of the Pennsylvania Lines,
West.
Mr. Hodgdon took up his new duties
today.
Residents of Hunrllimoro arc burc
their children are no worse than those
of other communities but they arc
taking bteps early to stop evidences
of petty moral laxuca that has ap
percd since the war.
"Cussing," crap shooting, nnd petty
thieving, said by H. Chalmers Stuart,
principal of schools, to cxNt to a cer
tain extent nmoug Suarthmoro chil
dren, are prevalent ct en where, accord
ing to Mrs. Ktlwin A. Yarnnll. prcsi-
dent of the Swtrthmorc Woman s Club,
before which investigator Mr. Stuart
uppcured last week.
Mr. 'Stuart's remarks were made in
formally to tho club in uu effort to
obtain the proper co-operation between
tho parents of tho children and the
schools.
"Schools sometimes discocr faults
in children thai don't come to the
parents at home and all social forces
should study the boy," said Mrs. Yar
null today. "Parents should meet the
demands of the growing gang spirit
among boys by opening their homes
to them and the community should meet
it by supplying community centers
equipped with gymnaslam and other
play npparatus where boys of this
dangerous age can congregate, have a
good time nnd work off natural restless
ness nd physical activity which charac
terize the growing period.
Mothers Thank Mr. Stuart
"The mothers of Swarthmore feel it
was very courageous of Mr. Stuart
to come to them with the message he
did. I heard no dissenting voice on this
fecorc, nnd he recehed a unanimous
rising vote f thanks at (ho clos.e of the
meeting.
"It should be distinctly understood
that Mr. Stuart spoke, not in his ca
pacity as principal of tchools, but ns
u parent to parents upon n subject,
however, which, ns principal, he was
In a position to discuss with even more
positive knowledge lis to facts, than
many of the pnrents present, In all
fairness there should be quoted Mr.
Stuart's emphatic statement that tho
cvlis discussed were not peculiar to
Swarthmore, but were alarmingly prev
alent everywhere.
llcgrcls Publicity
"I regret the publicity given to this
meeting. If, however, it arouses other
communities to the lact that stealing is
ptcvalent in all schools, both public
nnd private, and is one of the most dif
ficult and subtle problems that school
authorities have to meet nnd also that
the deplorable habits of gambling nnd
profanity are on the alarming increase
among both young nnd old, not cou
fincd to Swarthmore alone, a good pur
pose may be served und Swarthmore not
have suffered this painful obloquy in
vain. In other words, let every com
munity get busy und clean its own
house."
A special evening meeting of the
Woman's Club will be held for the dis
cussion of a community center ns a
war memorial in perpetuity for tho
young people of the town.

(This Picture Shows a Part of Our Staff of Experts). ,
OUR equipment and resources are far superior to any other concern 'of a
similar character in Philadelphia. Our staff of workmen are all English
speaking men and thoroughly experienced, some of them having been en
gaged in this work for thirty years.
Our stock of material is so large that we can assure the immediate filling
of all orders, large or small for the individual home owner or the "operating"
builder. Why sell your property and move to a less desirable neighborhood? Let
us take out that old, dingy parlor or living room floor ahd make a handsome home
by laying hardwood floors.
MR. ARCHITECT, we can fill your specifications and also give some help
ful suggestions that you will appreciate.
The beauty, durability, sanitary qualities and cleanliness of hardwood floors
have lifted them out of the class of luxuries and made them real necessities. They
give an air of refinement to any interior.
Pinkerton floors never crack, warp nor shrink, being proof against the ele
ments which affect ordinary wood. They are labor saving because so easily kept
clean. v
The New Pinkerton SANI-TITE Flooring
is th'e highest quality, handsomest, most durable hardwood flooring ever created. It is the
outgrowth of our 32 years' experience. We should like to show it to you and will gladly give
estimates. You will surely find that you cannot-get equal quality and service for less than oui
price, e go anywhere.
We Renovate Old Pine Floors and Stairs
Those old pine floors that look like a wash
board and are covered with black stains can be
made spotlessly clean, leveland smooth.
Those old, black unsightly stairs can be
covered with hardwood or, if already of good
material, can be renovated to look like new.
DANCE FLOORS

We have the only machine in Philadelphia for smoothing dance floors,
them as level and smooth as a sheet of glass.
