The Window Seal.

Ofttimes it is inconvenient to go to
the expense of having a window seat
built in bay window that graces a
college girls room. It is surprisingly
cheap to have one built out of store
boxes. Do not make the mistake of
having the usual narrow seat built
but rather a broad, serviceable one
that will permit comfortable, reclining
among the pillows and cushions This
latter may not be so graceful as the
smaller seat, but it is surely more
comfortable. Large divan covers will
hide the material that the seat is con-
structed of.

Will Be Great Blessing.

While the decision of the interstate
commerce commission seems to the 1a.l-
roads now a serious blow, the time is,
I believe, not far distant when it will
be recognized by them to have been a
great blessing. The decision compels
them to look within, instead of without,
for relief.
THE able railroad managers will soon
learn to greatly increase their net in
comes by scientific management They
will show lessened operating costs in
spite OF higher wages, and, by maintain
ing or lowering rates they will secure
increases in the volume of business. Led
by their present necessities to introduce
advanced methods and to eliminate Gues-
tionable practices, the railroads will so
strengthen their organization as to eS-
tablish their credit on Il firmer basis than
ever before.
Gwen before this decision was rem
dered some of the ablest and most en-
lightened railroad managers had shown
determination to improve the methods on
their roads, and this process will be
greatly aided and accelerated by the de-
cision.
"Such investors as are inclined to re-
gard the denial of increased rates with
annrehension should be treasured by the
fact that the stability and income from
railroad stocks has been constantly i'm
proving under the benefcent legislation
and wise administration of the interstate
commerce commission.

New Era in RaiIroading,
Says Louis D. Brandeis

BOSTON, Mass, February 24.-Louis D.
Brandeis, who appeared before the inter
state commerce commission in opposition
to the rate advance, said last night that
certain features Of the decision mark a
new era in American railroading. Mr..
Brandeis said:
THE decision of the interstate COM
merce commission declining to approve
the proposed advance in freight rates
will, of course, give great satisfaction to
the manufacturers and merchants whose
business was menaced by the sweeping
rate increase contemplated by the rail-
roads. But the decision is of even
greater importance to the consumer-par-
ticulary to wage earners-on whom the
burden of advanced rates would have
ultimately rested

own larger operating costs by combining
to raise rates would, in the end, have
proven fatal to the railroads themselves,

The commission holds unanimously that

Commissioner Prouty, in discussing the
eastern case, says that 1.-The railroad
rates Of this country have not been con-
structed as a rule upon any scientific
basis, and this Is especially true of the
Interstate rates" He points out that
rates have been put into effect without
special inquiry as to the amount of rev.
enue they might produce or as to the
burden the particular commodity affected
by the rate ought to bear.
"It might not follow" the opinion says,

in which was prepared by Commissioner
Harlan, the amount Of the increased rev.
enue involved in the proposed advances
was not SO considerable as in either of
the cases presented herewith. The in
creases were defended by the carriers,
however, on the same grounds of insult
ficient revenues and inadequate returns
on investments.
In the general rate provision made by
the carriers the first-class rate from ST
creased from S1.37 to S1.47, and cor
responding increases were made in the
other classes. The commodity rates also
were substantially increased. and the
record shows that the great bulk of the
Texas traffic moves under commodity
rates, only about per cent moving under
class rates.
The effect of the increases was to
raise the rates, not merely from ST. Louis
to Texas points, but from all points east
Of the Mississippi river to Texas points.

which aggregates among all the railways
in official classification territory approx
mately $27,OOO,OOO annually. The ques-
ton Of advancing the commodity rates in

as the southwestern rate case. will not

Their second-class rates, however. will
have to be revised. These were increased
by the roads from s1.2l to $1.29. and, by
action of the commission, are made $1.25.
The financial conditions of the roads in

Railroad Men Surprised.

In sense the decisions were in the
nature Of surprise to railroad officials
and other experts who had followed close
ly the proceedings. a majority of whom
believed the commission would grant some
increase to the western lines, if not to the
eastern.
The commission points out that, after
going over the whole subject involved in
the cases, 1t could not see its way clear
to allow the advances, although it is con-
coded that in the cases of some Of the
roads increased revenue is needed. Several
Of the roads involved In the eastern case
admitted that they are paying good divi-
dendS under the existing rates. This fact
embarrassed the commission when other
