The defects in the working Of the tele-

The new style stations OF the Lehigh

Erection Of buildings from freproof ma
terials is attracting increased attention
among architects and contractors IN all
parts Of the country. For a long time
investors in business buildings. apart
ment houses, and other large structures
which cost a great deal OF money have
sought 20 add to the stability OF their in
vestments by the use OF materials that
will not burn easily.
II Is only recently that the principle has
been applied In the construction OF pri-
vate homes. Take the country through.
and even IN crowded cities the private
home Is little better than death trap.
While the exterior walls may be built Of
brick. stone, or other noninfammable ma
terial, within the house is usually con
sTucted so as 20 invite combustion. 1t is
only reasonable care in the installation
and use Of heating facilities that has
saved millions OF dollars loss annually
in the burning Of private houses.
Private Homes Fireproof.

TO build them proof against fire inside as

MILEAGE TICKET LAW
Commission Holds They Nay
Not Be Exchanged.
UPHOLDS RAILROAD POSITION
Issues order that Carries May Pre-
scribe Rules I'm which These
Tickets May BE Issued-They DO
Not Garry with Them Special
Privileges Not Enumerated.

In an order issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in which the com
mission by unanimous action upholds the
opinion OF Commissioner James S. Ha--
Ian in the case Of Bernard Eschner versus
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company ct
al. the principle Of the mileage ticket
exchange regulation now in effect on the
railroads In the Southeast Is upheld. The
order IS of great Importance 10 railroads
issuing interchangeable mileage tickets
and 10 purchasers Of such tickets.
Carriers Control Issue.
In this order the commission says: THE
right 20 use exchange orders and mileage
tickets is in the nature OF O privilege vol
unfairly accorded by carriers under their
tariffs and must be accepted by those who
use such special fares with all lawful
and nondiscriminatory limitations that
may be attached"
Three important points made by the
commission are that the issuance II
mileage tickets is in no sense compul-
sorry, but Is permissible and voluntary on
the part OF the carriers; that purchasers
Of mileage tickets may not lawfully be
constituted into a special class, but must
come under the general law common 70
all passengers. and that purchasers OF
mileage tickets are bound by the lawful
contract features OF that form OF reduced
rate transportation.
Buyers Must Confirm.
The commission goes so far as 10 hold
that purchasers Of special reduced-rate
transportation, such as mileage tickets
have no legal right TO demand the same
privileges and advantages that are ac-
corded 10 a passenger who has paid the
regular fare az a higher rate. The car
riers have never gone 20 this extent but
while making the mileage ticket regula-
ton for their protection, have afforded
the same privileges and advantages 20
the purchasers Of mileage tickets as are
given 10 purchasers Of other forms Of
transportation.
This order OF the commission supports
the views Of State railroad commissions,
legislatures. and other tribunals IN the
Southeast TO which the mileage ticket
exchange regulation has been Submitted.
