UNIVERSITY HONOR SYSTEM


The hohor system In examinations at
the University of Pennsylvania has been
abolished by Major Charles T. Grifith,
commandant Of the Student Army Train

ccrned.
The order applies to all "exarns" In
which members of the training corps
participate. Students and faculty alike
are aroused over the suspension Of a
custom in vogue there for several years.
Students in the naval unit at Penn
sylvania, under the command OF Cap

declined to duplicate the military COM

rhe ban on saloons and theatres, en-
forced during the influenza epidemic,
was lifted today.
In Camden and Gloucester also the lid
was taken off. Reopening Of the saloons
in Philadelphia was not marked by any
unusual Incidents.
At 8 o'clock all barroom doors were
opened quietly, but there was no great
rush for drinks. In what Is known as
the thirsty localities the bartenders had
little more to do. than in other places
but in none Of the drinking places was
there any indication of jam.
Proprietors were on hand at all the
establi ishments. realising that the Board
of Health would Immediately clamp the
lid down again for any. disorder. and
urged patrons to leave after receiving
their drinks. Usual dangerous were
absent and in some of the saloons In
the central part of the city there were
many intervals during which there were
no customers whatever.
Few Arrests Reported
a CduNdSb VI NHc hoityNt" PcsSo NV
trictss showed that very few "drunks'
were arrested.
Several proprietors who had expected
big rush of business added extra bar
tenders, but the extra help was dis.
charged after the noon hour for there
was no indication tnat business would
be above normal-if equal to 1t.
Further Indications that the epidemic
Is rapidly waning is shown by reports
of the Board of Health today. There
were but eighty-two new cases OF the
disease, as compared with 1875 yesterday
In the last twenty-four hours 149
deaths were reported, while for the pre-
vious similar period there were 1bs. OF
the 149 reported today 101 were due TO
influenza and forty eight to pneumonia
Many of the theatres held matinees
today. While there were waiting linei
at many places, no crowds we're per-
mitted to pack the lGbbies, and IN some
places there were extra ticket-seliers te
keep patrons moving quickly. Especia
attention was paid to ventilation at al
the playhouses.
Managers reported that business was
just about what 1t should be for this
season of the year.
During the four weeks that Phla'
deIphia w6A under the ban. II IL esti'
mated that more than $1.500.o00 has
been lost by the various business enter

Movies Say Loss &s00.OOO
Movie theatre managers say that they
suffered combined less OF at least
$25O.000. Representatives OF legitimate
theatres declared their loss would ap'
proximate 100000.
The loss of the saloons Ii estimated
at S360.000. An official of the Rapid
Transit Company said tn taits loss would
be at least S2b0.00o.
Hotels also suffered a big slump as
persons visiting Philadelphia remained
only long enough to attend to their
business and quickly left.
Department stores and many mercan-
tile establishments also suffered losses
because most persons hesitated to take
chmance Of going to places where
there was the slightest Indication Of
crowds.
