justly termed Substantial home
meal was served in the Crystal tea
room. The guests were summoned
to the table by the army mess call
sounded by the store buglers, while the
organ played Onward, Christian Sol
diers." Miss Mary yogt presided at
the organ.
The one somber moment came imme-
diately following the dinner, when
George W. Stull, superintendent of the
Philadelphia store, gave a silent toast
to the seventeen employees who made
the supreme sacrifice during the war.
This is the greatest day of my
life declared Mr.. Wanamaker. In
an address after dinner he said:
"fou went away boys; you come
back men, manly men who faced death
as did your comrades who are now
sleeping the last slumber. You have
started great Ginning of bells over
the country for the principles that are
symbolized by the flag. You have made
il new flag. flag to which the entire
world is now looking.
''1t is great thing for Philadelphia
to have you back. The people who are
associated with you are overjoyed to
see you back at your old places. They
give you their hearts, not as a matter
Of sentiment, but as a matter of fact. +"

OgontS Student Appeals to
Court in Ne,U York to In
crease Her Allowance
$4,000 for Clothing and $4,000
for Pleasure Included in
Expense Items

She simply CANNOT live on mere
$4,000 d year.
Miss Lorena Carroll. a nineteen year :
old student at the Ogontz School, whose
figures on the high cost of living show
that annual expenses have increased
from $500 to 500. $50 since 1912, breads
the thought of scraping along for the
next two years on $4,000. She might
starve to death or something before she
is twenty one, when she will inherit
an estate valued at $1.750, 900. ....
So papers were filed with the Surro
gates Court in New York yesterday,
asking that her annual allowance be in :
creased from $4,000 to $20,s5O, in
order that she may maintain the social
position she is entitled to occupy.
Share Of Apartment
And aside from that she has to pay
her share of the rent of the apartment
she and her mother sometimes occupy at
800 West End avenue. New York city.
Homes are as scarce in New York rs
they are in Philadelphia. and il the
rent of $4,000 was not paid every rear
for their apartment they might be
evicted.
Miss Carroll submitted her list of
yearly expenses to the Surrogate in her
plea for an increased allowance. Her
greatest expenses is for two automobiles
and a chauffeur. These three items put
$4,000 mick in the bank roll of $15,-
900, and that leaves only $4,000 for
her clothes and education aud entertain
ment and other little things.

FOR
MEMPHIS NOT
NEW TAX BILL
Measure Would Not Have
Been Constitutional If Such
Item Had Been Written Into
Its Text, Is Asserted.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb, Z. tSpl)-
Senate bill lis, known as the corpora
tons tax bill, came up on final read
ing in the house as special order Thurs
day afternoon and the entire session
was spent in argument on the meas
ure. The rules Of the house were sus-
pended and Senator Frank Fuller, OF
Shelby, chairman of the senate COM
mjttee on finance Ways n means,
spoke on an amendment which had
been offered to the bill, urging its adop-
ton. The amendment sought to exempt
Memphis from the provisions regarding
the power of the railroad commission
to assess the gas and electric companies
Of that city, Senator Fuller pointed
out the language used by GOV: ROD
erts in a special message on the bill
and declared that he wished to clear
himself Of responsibility for the amend
ment. Considerable CONFUSION arose In
regard to the construction to be placed
on the amendment and B. A. Enloe,
chalrmans of the Tennessee railroad
commission, was called to the floor
He declared the adoption Of the amend
ment would void the bill and said II
should not be tackled on.
An effort was made to allow the
bill to go to conference for further
threshing. but the majority was aveIWe
to this action, and upon motion OF
Representative Odle, Of Benton, the
dill6luIHtil WHICH, WVuiu hdNO SNNi'iNSN
Memphis light and gas companies I'M
der the main act was sent to the table.
The house had previously refused to
concur in the senate amendment rails
ing the salaries of the railroad COM
%missioners $1,000 per year each, n
instead cut the increase to $500 per
year, thus making the salary Of the
chairman 81, 200 and that Of the other
two commissioners So, 800 per year.
1t was held that the amendment
seeking to exempt Memphis would nave
made the bill unconstitutional, the SUI
preme court having previously held in
q Davidson county case OF similar ma
ture that the exemption Of one county,
city or section from h provisions OF
a general bill was a form OF class leg
islation and therefore void.
The bill as 1t now stands for final
| passage before the senate, 1t going back
! to that body for concurrence on the
house amendment cutting the salary In
crease, provides for the assessment OF
gas and electric light companies In all
cities in Tennessee, both municipal,
county and state assessments.
At the first hearing on the bill be-
fore the senate finance, ways and
means committee the tabled amend
ment was offered by Senator Fuller
to exempt the gas and electric light
companies in the cities o~ftTennessee as
regards the assessment for munlcipa
purposes, and he frankly stated at that
time that the amendment affected
Memphis.
