WISE RATE INCREASE
The increase in freight rates finally granted to
the eastern railroads by the Interstate Commerce
Commission should be gratifying not only to the
railroads themselves but to that large part of the
public that believes that these great corporations
are entitled to a chance to earn a fair profit on
the millions of the people s money that are invested
in them.
It will be recalled that just before the war started
in Europe the railroads' application for a five per
cent, increase in freight rates east of Pittsburgh
was turned down by the Commission. The fact that
a similar increase is now granted cannot be inter
preted as an admission by the Commission that it
wgs wrong last summer in refusing to grant the
increase. Conditions have changed since then,—
changed very materially. The war is what has
changed them. There is no denying that the effect
of the war on the financial interests of this country
has been a handicap and when the financial condi
tions are unfavorable the railroads are bound to
suffer.
The advantage of the increased rates lies not
only in the fact that the roads are now in a better
positiou to earn a fair percentage on the capital
already invested in them, but in the fact that it
will encourage the investing public to look more
favorably upon future issues of stocks and bonds
that are necessary for extensions, improvements
and renewals of railroad property which have so
long been deferred. In brief, it should make it
easier for the roads to obtain new capital where
needed. I his is likely to result in these companies
putting more money into circulation in buying
rails, rolling stock and so forth, which in turn will
mean that the industrial establishments will find
more work to do. That is what everybody wants.
FROM EIGHTH GRADE TO HIGH SCHOOL
The abolition of the ninth grade in the Harris
burg schools, by unanimous vote of the School
Board last night, will make the grading of the
local schools uniform with the systems in other
cities of the state and will give the children of
Harrisburg an equal opportunity with children in
other communities to get their public schooling
with the least possible waste of time and effort.
Nothing except the erecting of the badly needed
new high school building could be of as much bene
fit to the public school children of this city as this
readjustment of grades, with semi-annual promo
tions, and the latter improvement will no doubt
hasten the former.
Much that is useless, such as drills in complex
arithmetical and grammatical problems which are
now given merely to fill in the time, will be dis
pensed with, giving the pupils opportunity to eon
t-entrate their minds on really helpful school work.
Then, too, really brilliant children will not be
held back and forced to study side by side with
their intellectual inferiors, but will be promoted
according to their merits and be enabled to finish
high school work before they have passed into man
hood and womanhood.
The transition from an elementary course of nine
years to one of eight, cannot be accomplished in a
day. It will be perhaps two years until the new
order of things will be established in all details.
Before that time comes, provisions will have to be
wade for properly accommodating the large num

bcra of new high school students that will then de
mand attention.
When the ninth grade passes away shortly, boys
and girls numbering practically as many as those
now doing ninth year elementary work in the grade
school buildings of the city, will be in first year
high school. The hundreds of these students at
Central high school will be additional to the usual
number of students at that institntion, for the
present ninth grade pupils will not yet be gradu
ated at that time.
The abolition of the ninth grade can have no
possible disadvantages for the city's school children,
unless conditions remain such that the move will
force hundreds of them to enter a jammed, disor
ganized, double-session high school such as Central
will be if proper accommodations arc not provided
for the increasing number of boys and girls that
the eighth grades will shortly be sending there.
REALISTIC DOLL BABIES
There are dolls peeping mischievously out from
behind counters in the stores these days that are
attracting even impassive grown-ups whose doll
days were long ago. or who never had any such
days at all. Something about these dolls is differ
ent from what the usual conception of dolls has
been. They look real, —almost alive. Intelligence
seems to come out through their eyes and they ap
pear to be ready for a romping good time. "Char
acter dolls" is what thev are called.
These new sorts of dolls have apparently been
modeled from life. Some of them look rather
naughty, it must be admitted, but they look nat
ural. The more conservative one look natural too,
and the only choice is whether a girl wants a bad
little baby or a goody-goody one. That is, it is the
only choice other than that of race, for best of all
there are black babies as well as white ones. Xo
distinctions of color were made in the production
of the character dolls.
The recent revolts against beautiful, pink, un
natural doll faces excited by the efforts of young
women artificially to acquire such features have
perhaps been responsible for the innovations in doll
manufacture. At arty rate, it is refreshing to look
at the realistic doll babies of the new order, after
the eyes have tired of seeing so many of the stiff
and prim creatures of the conventional type.
There is less than a week now in which the late shopper
can get busy.
Lion huuting in New York City is a novelty that does
not appear to be much relished by the populace.
There is more than one police department breathing
easier since the bandit. HohJ, has been put out of the way.
Xow that the railroads have gained an increase in both
freight and passenger rates, let us hope they will be able
to buy new equipment that is needed and give the steel
mills more to do.
The belligerent nations seem able to buy all the food
they want in this country and there appears to be plenty
to sell so long as the European money holds out, notwith
standing that scarcity of food in this country has often
been given as the excuse for the high cost of living.

vocable rule of the military authorities.
They also insist that all •communica
tions must be either unsealed or written
on postcards. One family complained
that it received letters from a son al
nioit daily, but after a month of war
he had not received a single word from
home. Investigation showed that each
one of the letters written by the boy's
motther contained such words as "deso
lation" and "despair." Srtie was tola
that her son wns seeing enough desola

style of the letters changed, and now
they are arriving promptly.

Letters to Front by Auto
Cold weatther and the shipment of
warm clothing and other comforts to
the soldiers tended to delay the de
livery of letters. The automobile club
of Paris volunteered its services and
hundreds of automobiles carried pack
ages to the trenches, until the Germans
became aware of the arrangement. They
captured ton motor cars filled with
packages of heavy underwear, jerseys,
sweaters, tobacco, cigarettes, cigars,
pipes and cigarette lighters. Some fond
mothers sent preserves, cakes, cold
chicken and pate-de-fois-gras. One pack
age that met with an accident en
route was found to contain even a bot

Odd Suit as Result of War
A peculiar case was decided in the
Orimsbv county court, England, ia a
claim brought under the workmen's
compensation act against the owners of
the Grimsby trawler, Kilmarnock, by
John Kisdale, chief engineer of the ves
sel. The Kilmarnock left Grimsby on
September 22. on a fishing expedition,
sighted some floating mines and went
in search of a warship to warn naval
vessels. In so doing, the Kilmarnock
struck a mine and blew up. The skipper
and five men were killed, and John Ris
dale was so injured as to 'be tot-allv in
capacitated. It was urged by the own
ers that Risdale could not recover com
pensation as his injuries were caused by
the vessel striking the mine of an
enemy at a time when the vessel —toy
diverting its course to act as a mes
senger to the navy—had ceased to fol
low its ordinary occupation. The court
upheld the defendant's contention.

Soldiers Fighting on Skis
With the arrival of deep snow on IV:

skis and can travel long distances with

English Shipyards Busy
The various shipbuilding; yards ot
Kngiand now are as busy as though
there was no war. The loss of many
ships, due to being bottled up or sunk,
made freight rates high, creating an in
creased demand for new tonnage as well
as hastened repairs on old or captured
craft. The repairing yards are full with
orders, and uew steamers are not being
guaranteed for early delivery owing to
pressure of work. A suggestion has been
made by the Newcastle Chamber of
Commerce advisory committee that
some of the Austrian and German
steamers are tied up iu British harbors
should be employed to relieve the pres
ent shortage of tonnage. Merchants,
especially iu t'he coal trade, are suffer
ing inconvenience through this short
age, which was caused partly bv their
vessels being requisitioned by the gov
ernment anil by delays and congestion
at foreign ports. It is said the Ad
miralty is seriously considering the
proposal.

TURNPIKE COMPANY GIVEN
$40.033 BY COURT JURY
This Allowance I* to Cover Damages
Sustained by Plaintiff When State
Took Over Turnpike Between
Chambersburg and Fulton County
Chamlbersburg, Dee. 19.—The jury in
common pleas court yesterday morning
returned a *>ealed verdict, giving the
Chambersburg & Bedford Turnpike
Company an award of $40,033 in its
suit against the Commonwealth. It is
believed the turnp'ike company will take
an appeal.
The State recently took over the
turnpike between Chambersburg and
the Fulton county line, a distance of
IS 1-3 miles. Viewers awarded the
turnpike company $23,580. This was
not satisfactory to the company and
saiit was brought, with the result that
a verdict giving the company $16,453
more than the viewers allowed was
reached.
Witnesses for the turnpike company
placed the value of the highway at
from $60,000 to $120,000. It* was
shown that in 1912 the turnpike's net
earnings were $3,000 and the estimate
for 1913 was that the profit would
reach $4,000.

LAD WOUNDED IN THE SIDE
Playmate Thrust Knife Into Him While

Carlisle, Dec. 19.—Charles Hoy, 10 j
years old, a son of J. M. Hoy, freight I
agent at the Cumberland Valley sta
tion, sustained a serious knife wound in
the side just below his heart when in ;
a playful scrap that occurred before j
9 o'clock in a schjol room in the Ham- |

year-old Olin Rone/ attempted to push j
the Hoy lad away with a hand in which |
he held a knife blade.
Investigation of the occurrence on the I
part of the school authorities leads to
the belief that the matter was purely i
an accident. The knife blade fortu- j

prevented the lad being fatally injured, j

E. G. HOOVER S ANNIVERSARY
Business Established Twenty-four Years
Ago Grows to Large Proportions
E. G. Hoover, jeweler, 23 North
Third street, is celebrating the twen
ty-fourth anniversary of bis store.
Twenty-four years ago Mr. Hoover, who
was formerly from this city, returned
from Philadelphia, where he held an
important position in one of the largest
and foremost jewelry stores in that
city, and started in business in a mod
twt way at his present location. From
the beginning his business was conduct
ed in accordance with the highest
ideals and as the public learned to
know the higli character of the store
the business has grown to proportions,
highly complimentary to Mr. Hoover
and his store organization.
The growth of the business has been
both steadily and substantially built.
Mr. Hoover owes much of his success
to the sterling quality of his merchan
dise. His assortments are noited for
elegance and exclusiveness. The stock
is selected with such care and judg
ment that it is distinctive. For this
reason his store has btcome a favorite
shopping place for those who are dis
criminating in making selections. Mr.
Hoover is receiving the congratulations
of many friends on this occasion.
