STUDENTS FLOCKING BACK.
oEODENHD TIONhIANN bhNh.
u. Of r. Report Enrolment Il Almost
Doubled.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1l.--With the pass
ing Of the student army training corps
and the reopening Of oil departments on
peace basis the University of Pcnnsyl-
vana has been literally flooded with appli-
cations Of students seeking admission.
The registration has been virtually doubled
over night. Last year the maximum
registration, according to Bursar w. o..
Miller, never exceeded 5000 Since the
beginning Of the present semester, January
q, more than 1000 students arc already
registered with 900 more expected in
February In addition DIR. Gaily Cham
bers, director of admissions, said yesterday
he held more than 1000 applications from
all parts of the United States These
applications he explained, were mostly
from men in the service, who have not
yet obtained their discharge, but who
desire TO continue their education ss coon
as they are released.
So great has the influx of students been
since January @ that the University has
scarcely been able TO cope with the in
creased demand for education A few
of the professors in war service have re-
turned but the majority have not yet oh
tanned discharges, and as a result there is
a shortage of instructors.

PEILA. COMMUTERS
PROTEST ON NEW TICKETS
Chamber Of Commerce Heads Oh
jectors to Higher Fare and
o0-Trip Ticket Plan.

Philadelphia Jan 11-Injustice to the
commuters, through combination OF
nfelor suburban train service and the
possible hardship Of increased fares. Is
charged against the new commutatlon
ticket rules in letter to c II Markham,
regional director Of the United States
Railroad Administration, from the hlla-
delphia Chamber OF Commerce
Stress Is laid IN the letter upon the
fact that suburban tram service to points
about Philadelphia for many months
past has been far below the standard
adopted by the railroad companies The
oyercrowded condition Of trains is pointed
10 as one Of the h4rdships to which the
commuters now arc subjected.
The increased cost Of travel Us point
ed out bv the Chamber Of Commerce,
would come from the commuters in
ability TO obtain q ticket on or before the
first day of each month This would mean
the paying 81 one-way fare al an increased
cost until the ticket was obtained II
would mean also the loss of rides 10 the
commuter for the first days Of the month
where he uses such transportation only
% and from his place Of business
II Is pointed out further that on the
first of each month the crush at ticket
windows will be SO great by purchasers
of new tickets that further Inconvenience
will be placed upon the suburban tram
rider
The railroad administration 5 state
ment that the present system causes loss
OF fares through friendship of conductors
and passengers Is attacked Ia the letter IS
placing q hardship upon the majority for
the sins Of the minority The rail-
road administration in announcing the
new system said that custom had
grown up where commuters become friend
" with the conductor and where the
passenger often rode free when he left
his ticket at home

Labor Experiment.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The war has
exploded the theory that . man is dead
ms industrial timber after he has passed
as or so. and the Federal Department

With this end in view. the handicap
bureau" of the Federal employment

T. J. Cannon, former manager of the
employers association Of Chicago, at
it's head.
Mr.. Cannon has placed in suitable
occupations more than $4,000 men OF
middle age. The highest salary paid to
anyone of these old men Is ~ 800 a
wear and the lowest is So week. The
average age OF these men is 81, and
according TO Mr. Cannon % per 9nt

The bureau also aids in finding oc-
