INCREASE Ik RATES MADE IF 5PER CT.

WASHINGTON, Dece-1S. 1S.-Further increases in freight rates were ggant- ed the eastern railroads by the Inter- state c. mmerce Commission in a de- eision from which Chairman Harlan and Commissioner Clements dissent ed vigorously. With the exception of lake, rail traffic, coal, coke and iron the commission heretofore fixed rates adjudicated "reasonable,' all railroad systems operating between the Allan tic Seaboard and Mississippi north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers are al- lowed a fiat per cent increase for which they have been asking for the last four years.
 The roads hoped to get an increase which would add an annual revenue of some $5O,OOO,O ,OOO The coInmission's decision is expected to give them an addition of approximately -$3O 1000, ,OOO.
 The roads east of the north and south line, drawn through Buffalo, Pittsburg, Charleston, W. Va, won by the decision increases other than on traffic expected which was denied them in the commissions decision last August.
 The roads west of this line, which got partial advances in the August decision received further advances, so | that now all roads in what is described as the official classification territory will enjoy uniform advances in both lclass and commodity rates. In the decision a majority of the commission held the roads had es- ia blished in the latest hearings a greater need for additional net in come than ever before. This due, in part to exigencies which arose out of the war in Europe and in part to the already existing necessity in the judgment of the commissionI for additionl revenues to maintain rail road properties.
 Market Responds.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-Prior to the announcement made shortly before at midday that the Interstate Commerce Commission granted a restricted five Der cent freight advance to eastern railroads the stock market was drop ping at a pace which strongly sug- gested liquidation.
 In the brief period between the opening of the market and the pub lication of the summary decision high prices crumbled two to three points, were four to six points under the high level reached Tuesday, when open trading in entire list was re- established. Some shares were within a few points of the minimum prices. Seasoned issues declining for lack of support. What made the movement more noteworthy was the fact that it took very little stock to effect de- clines.

free from lot congestion. narrow
streets and alleys, surface drainage
and one-room apartments. The con-
ditions which most seriously menace
NeWark's welfare Were found to be
dark rooms streets without sewers,
garbage not well protected land filled
with garbage, and very serious fire
risks. Dark rooms were shown to be
conducive to the spread of tubercu-
losis, whether they are Windowless
rooms, basement rooms. or rooms
lighted only by openings into shafts
or into narrow alleys between build
ings.
1t appears that under present laws
1t is possible so to erect buildings as
to make them serious fire risks, to
construct buildings, with dark rooms
and other unhealthful and unsanitary
conditions, TO erect tenements upon
streets not provided with sewers to
build factories in residential dis
triets and to cover with buildings too
large part of lot areas. Specific
recommendations were made for
changes in tenement house laws,
building code and sanitary code,
which would help to lessen these evils.
The zone system was discussed. 1t
was shown that it is possible to re-
strict unhealthy growth and to main
tain the best standards in the better
residential districts. Methods by
which other cities are meeting hous-
ing problems were noted.
On December 20, 1912. the experts
presented to the commission. in the
form of an annual report. a state
ment of subjects studied, subjects I'M
der consideration, and reports made
during the year ending December
81, 1912.
On January 9, 1918, a resolution was
forwarded by the commission to the
Mayor and Common Council favoring
the construction of a street known ae

Broad Street Paving Report.
On November &c, 1912, the commits
sion forwarded to the Mayor and
perts upon the paving of Broad
street. Much difference of opinion
prevailed in the city as to the kind
of pavement which should be laid on
Broad street in place of its ancient
granite blocks. In their report the
experts gave a careful study of all
pavements in common use in the large
cities of this country and stated that
there are but three which are suitable
for Broad street-sheet asphalt wood
block and granite block Sheet asphalt
was rejected for its great maintenance
cost. The report then stated that
wood block, properly treated and laid,
and granite block, so trimmed as to
ic0Nt no liltISl4CtS greater IMAM a
quarter of an inch and grouted with
cement. were of almost equal merit;
but that in view of the fact that
quietness should be given great
weight in determining the type of
pavement for this particular street.
wood block was to be preferred In a
letter submitting this report to the
Mayor, the commission went on rec
ord in favor of granite block by
vote of to 8.
Housing Report.
In December, 1872 report on hous-
ing conditions, prepared by DR.. James
Ford of Harvard University. was
submitted to the commission by its
experts. Housing conditions in all
parts of the city were described; the
character of dwellings,, the distribu-
ton of the foreign and native popu-
lation and other data, being duly set
forth.
A house-to-house survey OF five. Sc

city was made to illustrate extremes

was submitted to the Mayor and
Board OF Works. This report was the
result OF one years study of the prob

various phases of street car operation.
otuuleS OF the traffic movement on
each line were discussed and as
result of this knowledge four re-rout

Almost unlimited is the list of char
acteristic features for any one of

The climate is the most wonderful

1t is more than probable that one
will need to disabuse his mind, in the
first instance, of the idea that Por
tugal is merely Spain in miniature.
AS a matter of fact, there is little
kinship between the two. On paper
the language of the two countries
bear considerable similarity, but the
pronunciation of Portuguese differs
so materially from the Spanish that
no advantage of convenience accrues
from a knowledge of the latter
tongue. In all other respects, more
over, everything about Portugal and
the Portuguese is distinctive to an
absolute degree. The most jaded
traveller, indeed, viii find there

eddy be wholly unprepared Need it

Woman's Desire for Liberation From
Wrecked Train Accompanied by
Terrible Threat.

A fast limited" was bowling over
the sands Of Arizona Just how it
happened was frequently explained.
and never understood. but as the train
sped along the side Of a parched river
it suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed In three feet or
muddy water at the bottom OF the
river bed.
Within the cars there was some
natural confusion. Men, women and
lunch boxes were thrown into heap,
and not an umbrella or a parcel was
left In the racks.
One by one the occupants of the
rear car extricated themselves from
the mass and sought for means of es-
cape, while stanching various wounds
caused by broken glass. Every exit
was jammed tight. Just then, in the
midst of the doubt and confusion, rose
a woman's voice In emphatic demand:
Let me out! Let me out! II you
don't let me out. I'll break window"

THE new veilings that are popular
! are those that are simple in de-
sign. They consist Of novelty mesh,
with border OF chenille dots, or all
over effects of dots on fine mesh.
II is in the management of these
two features, the mesh and the dot,
that the designers have made the
wonderful variety in patterns that are
shown in yelling departments. 1t
happens that different sizes and
shapes in the mesh make the wells
more or less becoming to the indi-
vidual wearer. II would be impos-
sible to describe the varieties IN
which veilings are woven. Nets are
designed with the mesh showing out
lines In squares, hexagons, circles,
triangles and every variation Of these.
II one studies the dots they will be
found to vary as much as the meshes
IN shape. There are small circular
dots, squares, double squares. dia-
monds and tiny floral patterns. Also
there are combinations Of these on the
same mesh, in unending variety.
Wells are worn in three widths.

Cottages.

Cottage accommodation" in the
sense in which Mr.. Runchiman's bill
deals with it, is a phase that would
hardly be understood in the United
States. Professors Greenough and
Kittredge of Harvard, in their book
on the ways Of English words, points
out that cottage" in the strict sense
of a laborer's dwelling, has never been
adopted into popular American use,
because America has never really had
the thing. The word over there has
always had literary and sentimental
associations, and finally has come to
be used for the most magnificent sum-
mer residences. This has gone much
farther than the use of the word in
England to mean a villa. In Amer
lea "cottager" definitely signifies a
person who is above staying at a
boarding house or hotel, and has his
own summer home.-London Chroni-
