!. c. c. Decides Not to Suspend
New B. & o. and PennsyI-
vania Tariffs.

Increased railroad passenger fares
to and from all committing points on
the Pennsylvania railroad out Of Wash
ington, and increases on all roads to
New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Yves ern cities are in effect today.
New passenger tariffs filed by the Bal
liraore and Ohio and Pennsylvania rail-
roads became operative at midnight.
These tariffs abolishe practically all ex-
cursion fares and round-trlp tickets.
Hereafter straight one-way fares must
be paid to practically all the big cities
except those in New England
At the last minute yesterday the In
terstate Commerce Commission an
nounced that 1t would not suspend these
new tariffs. but that this action did
not prevent travellers from filing formal
complaint and did not prejudice such
action.
On the communication tickets out Of
Washington on the Pennsylvania line
the increase in the sixty-trip monthly
ticket is fiat advance OF 20 cents.
A much larger Increase is made In the
lSO-trip quarterly ticket, ranging from
an advance of s4.35 between Washington
and Landover. Md, to S6.25 between
Washington and Bowie. Md. The new
tariff does not list quarterly ticket rates
to Arundel. Odenton. Severn. Patapsco,
and Lafayette, although such tickets
were provided in the former tariff
Fifty-trip. or firm tickets. are cancelled.
The new rates on the sixty-trip month
ly ticket are as follows:
" asnIngton to LandOver, $5.O5; Ard
wick, $3.50; Lanham, S.s5; Seabrook,
S6.25; Glendale, $50; Arundel, SD;

Marlboro, Sis; Brandywine Sl51O; La
Plata, $l9l5; Port Tobacco, Sl9.75; Pope's
Creek, S22.l5.
The increases in tie lSO-trip quar- .erly
ticket amounts in each case to an ad-
vance to Just three times the cost or
the SiXty-trip ticket, SO that the quar-
terly ticket will offer no advantages
over the monthly ticket, whereas for
merly the quarterly ticket cost little
more than twice AZ much as the month
ly ticket. The changes in the quar-
terly ticket are set forth in the new
tariffs as follows:

case may he carried to the courts.

that body reconsider a long standing
rule which automatically ret'res q
teacher when she marries. II is be-
lievcd tho board will rescind this rule
without any court action heing taken.
Many married women already teach
in the public schools here. Despite
this fact Mrs. Carl \. Holman, who
was married last July. was denied her
position at the Morgan school when she
reported there for duty last September.
Explains Her Position
Mrs. Hellman today explained her
case as follows:
High school teachers have married,
have then taken examinations again,
and have been reinstated in their
positions. / am told / am eligible
for such examinations, but there are
no examinations now given for first
grade teachers Ali such positions
are now fiIled by Normal school
graduates.
l was told by John B. Larner. a
member of the Board of Education,
that ii was considered unfair to al
low a married woman to continue
teaching when the Normal School
girls, who had trained for such po-
sitions. could not be provided with
schools. BY such a statement, Mr..
Larner puts the schools on the basis
oil an employment agency, and dis
counts experience, usually regarded
as valuable asset to teacher.
Married women. who now are teach
ing. entered the service through ex-
aminations when the Normal School
graduates were not sufficient to fill
vacancies. To be consistent, Mrs. He'll
man claims. the board should discharge
al married teachers now in the serv-
ice until each years Normal School
graduates are provided with positions.
