PHILADELPHIA, June 13.—Un- like the system which prevails in New York and most other cities, children jn Philadelphia ride free or pay full fare, according to height, id not age. Boys and girls 31 inches or ess on height ride free, and at the side of the conductor is a painted line, accurately measured, which set- tles all disputes, When the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company put through its “only i=. fants in arms” ride free ru year aga, parents evaded the regulation by carrying their children, even to the age of five and six, through the turn- stile or past the gateman, But that doesn't work in Philadelphia, If the conductor is at all in doubt he asks the parent to place the child against the wall. Of course, the baby's is removed and its hair flattened down tight against the head Thirty-one inches is the minimum height given by authorities for chil- dren at the age of three, But there are numerous instances of two-year- olds surpassing that height and of six-year-olds failing to reach that mark. About one person in 10,000, accord ing to the Philadelphia conductors, pays the full seven cents, Virtually every one buys the four-for-a-quarter h ride cost six and one-quarter cents. Not only do iriends and acquaintances help visit- ors and one another by constantly lending a ticket if one is needed, but the conductors themselves advise all passengers who proffer the seven| cents to buy the strips. quick to grasp the idea, Figures by the company show that traffic has fallen off considerably since the five- | cent fare w bandoned temporarily. | STOLEN YACHT SUNK WITH RUM AT SEA mployees Run $20,000 Myers Boat to Bahamas for Liquor— Wrecked and Rescued.
