Samuel Rea, President oE the Pennsylvania Railroad System, Saturday issued the following statement regarding-the decision the Interstate Commerce in the" 15 per cent, advance rate case: I am amazed at the reasoning, and discouraged by.the conclusions, in the rate The Eastern Railroads are the great terminals for country, and absolutely require the 15 per cent, increase, immediately. The Pennsylvania system is indicative of conditions on the Eailroads in Eastern Territory and its operations verity the estimates made for The five months ending.with May show an increase of about 9 per cent, in gross earnings, buit a decrease.of about 27 per cent. in. net operating income, or nearly 10,500,000 compared with 1916. Costs of labor and materials are still rising, especially coal which will be increased by several millions over what was estimated in the rate case.

Notwithstanding all the Railroads are doing in co-operation with Government (and no other interests are doing more) the Country will realize that there will probably be more congestion next fall and winter than it has heretofore experienced. We are bending every effort that situation, but instead putting the Railroads in a position where tliey can give substantial assistance by additional-facilities and equipment, their credit will.bo.seriously limited by this decision, and the country at large must of necessity suffer. VISITING NURSE ENDS HER WORK At a meeting; of the Bureau of Social Service last night it was voted to discontinue the of JJiss Hildegarde Crauel, visiting nurse, the reason for the action being the lack of funds to continue the work. This fcl- ows the action, of the board about a. month ago dispensing with, the services of the executive secretary, Jiehols, the.reason given be- mg the same lack ol funds.

Miss Crauel's connection with the Bureau of Social Service ends with today. Miss Crauertegan her work the local organization, last Au- as the successor to Miss Ida McCaslin, who founded the visiting nurse department here. The work of Miss Crauel has-been "very satisfactory and she. brought into the work a personality and. aa efficiency that has made the work of visiting nurse increasingly popular and valuable among the people.

The Anti-Tuberculosis society, which is affiliated with" the state and national associations, has taken over the health department oJ the Bureau of Social Service, and will continue the work of the visiting nurse, and Miss Julia Haner, who was formerly assistant nurse to Miss Crauel, took up the work today by authority the Anti-Tuberculosis society, this work being done in connection with her official duties as assistant city health officer, Health Officer Miller and Mayor Guthrie giving their sanction to this arrangement. The office of Mrs. Hauer will be in the present headquarters of the Bureau of Social Service, where Miss Welch will have charge ot the telephone and Hie records of the office. Applications for filling the office qf visiting nurse will opened by the Anti-Tuberculosis society on July 12, whema nurse will be selected and placed under contract. There was no contract in the case of Miss Crauel, the latter taking up the work here and continuing during the pleasure of the Bureau of Social Service.

Miss Crauel has not stated yet as to whether she will be an applicant for the placa under the new arrangement. She has a host of friends who would be pleased to have her continued as the official visiting nurse. wiil virit inrChieaso. -K. Gaby." engineer.

"Who'can prove that a man has is the question heard on every hand. An effort is being made.here to.secure further ruling from Provosf Marshal General Crowder on the definition of dependents.

According to the regulations prescribed by the president for the draft, a married man seeking exemption must present an affidavit from his wife setting forth her dependency and an affidavit from the head of a family, other than that of the person seeking exemption, to the effect that' the man seeking the exemption is the sole support of his wife and. family. It is the second affidavit that is causing the married men to worry. This affidavit must come from a. person outside the family and be made by a person within the jurisdiction of the local board.

Married men are not prone to discuss their financial standing with other their families and therefore' thfoe are few persons residing in the local districts who can make an affidavit concerning the financial standing of. a married man. This is the contention of. those married men who are striving to have the: ruling made less severe. It has been the object of ths war department to prevent collusion between a husband and wife in cases ANNIVERSARY OF REFORMATION WILL BE OBSERVED HERE The coming Sunday will find the Lutherans of this part of Indiana fittingly observing, and celebrating, the four hundredth the Reformation.
