Attorneys for railroads interested
in the appeal from the Public Service
Commissions decision in the anthra-
cite coal cases and other important
questions covered in appeals now tied
up in the Dauphin county court, will
ask the Superior Court to take no
tice of the situation when it meets in

vania Railroad Company rate case
will be presented to the court and at
tention will be called to the suspend
ed state of the twenty or more ap-
peals in the Dauphin county court.
1t may be possible that a test of the
constitutionality of the new act may
be made or else the Public Service
Commission be asked to reopen the
cases and make new orders. which
could be done by Withdrawing them
from the Dauphin county court.

No commencement exercises this

Any young girl can readily become

embroidery lacks the warmth of wo-
mans personal achievement. Hand
