ployes who died were stricken off, making the net increase for the year 258. V Of the 678 employes retired during 1915 and placed on the "Roll of Honor," 47 had served the Pennsylvania railroad system 50 years or more each, while 351 men, or over half of the total, had completed at least 40 years of active work. " The oldest employe, in point of active service, placed upon the pension list during 1915 ; had worked 57 years and 9 months. Another had rounded out just 56 years, when he was retired and five others had worked 54 years; ; or more

each.

Pensioning Railroaders. The Pennsylvania system has one of the best pension systems in vogue. The company finds it of advantage to maintain the plan, and its employes are glad to take advantage of its opportunities. The plan of retiring and pensioning old employes was inaugurated during the presidency 'of the late Alexander J. Cassatt. A recent statement by the company has this information to off er : The Pennsylvania Railroad was the pioneer among the transportation "systems of America in establishing a plan for retiring and pensioning all. employes, of whatever rank, upon equal terms. The plan, which is now effective upon both the Eastern ; and Western lines of the System, was

inaugurated on January 1, 1900, during the presidency of the late Alexander J. Cassatt. Its terms placed ' the ' granting r of v. -pensions upon a scientific basis, which takes into consideration both -length of service and character of work rendered, and. operates in such a way as practically to. assure a competence to every man who makes the service his principal life work. As has been indicated, the terms upon which pensions are granted are the same for every employe, whether he serves his company as president or in the lowest capacity. All must retire at the age of 70 years. All may retire at the age of 65 oi" over if unfitted for active work. The monthly pension of , every man - is calculated by multiplying one per cent, of his average wage per month, during his last ten years of service, by the total number of years he worked. A man who enters the service at 20 and works until he is 70 retires on what is substantially half pay. The closing of 1915 completes the fifteenth year in which this railroad system's pension plan has been in operation. The Pennsylvania railroad

lines, East and West combined, are now paying pensions to retired employes at very nearly the rate of $1,500,000 -per year, or more than $4000 per day. The total' payments since the establishment of the pension plan have exceeded $12,000,000 and more than 9000 employes have shared therein. All pensions are paid out of the funds of the railroad and no contributions, direct or indirect, are made by employes. The names added to the "Roll of Honor" on December 1 bring the total additions made to the pension lists of the Pennsylvania Railroad system in 1915 to '678. The names of 420 retired em-

'Abusing a Privilege Uncle Sam has provided a general delivery window in the post office for the convenience of transients and visitors of the. city. This window has degenerated into" a place where clandestine corresporfdence reaches its destination. Men and women, many of them married,' boys and girls; with residences in the city, receive mail here which they fear to have delivered at their homes. At Columbus, Ohio, the postmaster lias issued an order limiting the delivery of mail at this window solely to transients. Here's how the persons misusing the window were detected: Each person calling at the general delivery window received a request to call at the. inspector's office. Then came the question :

"What is your objection to having your mail

delivered at your home or place of business?" In some few. cases satisfactory alibis were forthcoming, the inspector said.

"However, the majority, comprising men of all ages and girls and women from 20 to 55 years,

at once gave indications that delivery of the mis

sive at ' homes or places of business would be

very undesirable," he added. "The number of married persons who had 'mere friends' with whnm thev were corresponding two or three

times a week was surprising. But, of course,

there were plenty of unmarried folks in the lot Why not try the inspector's system here ?

Placed Her Head on Another's Form; Now Model Asks $10,000

A Building Record.

Building Inspector Hodgin believes that the

sum of $375,000 represents the outlay for new buildings and old ones repaired and re-built in 1915. The showing is an excellent one, and indicates that the people of Richmond are spending money for new business houses and residences. Along with this splendid record is a diminution in the fire loss of 1915 compared with 1914. In the latter year, the fire loss was $8,155 for buildings alone; in 1915, the tentative figures of Fire Chief i Miller show that the loss will be cut in half, being near the $4,000 mark. J -The fire chief's report will show that there were 155 alarms and that, property valued at $89,070 was endangered. That the fire loss was reduced bespeaks the growing zeal of citizens in preventing the accumulation of combustibles in the form of trash and other inflamable materials. It also shows that the fire department has reached a high state of efficiency and that the city is well protected. The reports of Inspector Hodgin and Fire Chief Miller are gratifying.

RUSH REPAIRS TO PHONE SYSTEM; 500 STILL OUT OF COMMISSION

Superintendent Bailey of the Richmond Home Telephone company reported today that there are about 500 city phones still out of commission as a result of the sleet and snow storm of last week, but that he hopes to have these temporarily repaired by Thursday. More than 1200 phones were down when the Btorm was over. The whole system will be given another work-over as soon as the temporary repairs are completed. Superintendent Bailey says that his original estimate of $5,000 damages has not been decreased by later investigation.

By the end of the week repairs to the rural telephone systems will ' be completed. Some idea of the loss sustained by the company is indicated by the damage done on the stretch of the Liberty pike between the C. & O. viaduct near the Wernle Orphans' home and the Elkhorn bridge where every pole, sixty-three in number, broke down under the load of snow covered wires, and had to be replaced. Patrons of the company declare themselves well satisfied with the speedy manner in which the Home company repaired the damages.

POSTAL AUTHORITIES ASK GO-OPERATION

"With the inauguration of the new motorized rural route system, we must have the co-operation of the business men," said Frank Wilson, superintendent of mails. "Business men should secure copies of the new routes so

that they can become acquainted with'

the cIiHiiges to avoid trouble in the post office." . Many letters and packages were, delayed today because of the failure to place the proper addresses. The rural route patrons have also been asked by Mr. Beck to co-operate in the change and inform all persons who are in a habit of sending mall to them that their route has been changed. The clerks in the post office were confused this morning with the changed addresses. , " Although the rural route carriers' desks have uot "been changed each carrier will work., on two of the former desks in arranging the mail before they leave in the morning. None of the carriers have the regulation automobile body but all of them have made arrangements for building a special body to comply with the provisions of the post office order. The new body will be on the order' of a delivery wagon with the words "U. S. Mail" on the side; All of the carriers are using ford automobiles,

ARCADE. "Children of Eve" the leading feature at the A"rcade theatre tomorrow, with Viola Dana in the title role, ranks with the best photo dramas of the day. It is an Edison production, released through the Kleine-Edison Feature Service portraying in a vivid, entertaining manner a tragedy of real life with a climax so powerful that it almost stuns. Love, impelling sin with its certain consequences, and love as a chastener of a girl's dissolute life, is pictured in "Children of Eve." The great passion of life in its many vagaries, dominates the plot of this real masterpiece.
