WRECK REPORT LIKELY
TO RESULT IN ACTION
Congress May Give |. C. C.
Power to Control Operation
of Trains.

While the report OF the Interstate
commerce commission on the New
Haven wreck at Wallingford, Conn.,. is
considered to be one Of the strongest
arraignments Of it's kind ever issued by
the commission, it has brought forth
much praise and favorable comment.
Those familiar with previous reports
OF the commission declare that despite
It's attack on the railroad officials and
employees alike that the report was
fair one in every respect. and likely to
produce results in the way of legisla-
ton which will clothe the commission
with powers giving 1t drastic super
vision over the safety equipment of
railroads
Belief is expressed that this recent
wreck report of the commission will
force the needed legislation. This re-
port. 1t is declared. has served to point
out the urgent need of giving the COM
mission powers to enforce its recon-
mendations for preventing wrecks.
Recommendations Ignored.
It's recommendations made as result of
wrecks which 1t has investigated In the
past have amounted practically to moth
ing, it is declared, so far as having the
railroads carry them out is concerned
They apparently have been taken in the
usual course, and the railroads knowing
there was no law compelling them to put
the recommendations Of the commission
into effect, have paid no attention to
them.
The commission needs such legislation,
1t is declared. While Commissioner Nc
Chord said this morning that the COM
mission Is not preparing any bill to give
1t drastic supervision over the operation
OF railroad trains, he asserted that much
data on railroad accidents Is being pre-
pared and dispatched to Congress to aid
that body in preparing measures II 1t
sees At.
Called on for Data.
Members of Congress also are call
ing at the commission seeking informa-
ton which will help them in prepar-
ing bills which might tend to lessen
the number Of wrecks on railroads. It
is also possible that the commission
will include in it's annual report rec
concentrations for measures to give 1t
power over the signal equipment of
railroads.
Commissioner McChord emphatically
denied today that he had called on the
President to talk about the proposed
bill. or that he had talked with At
torney General McReynolds about the
legal phases Of such measure.

Fine linen shtrtwaists, with pleated

worn at the seaside this year These
waists should always be several sizes
too large for their wearer, for every
thing depends on their looking eNag
geratedly loose Such a thing as
tight blouse. or Corsage of any kind.
is unheard of at the present moment;
everything is made on loose. generous
lines, and quite young. slender girls
are wearing linen shirtwaiSts which
would have been considered quite
large enough for their mothers a few
months ago. In all the big Paris dry
goods stores one hears slips of girls
asking for the largest sizes in hlouses
and shirtwaists, and looking remark
ably well in them when they put them
on.
All the newest blouses have ultra
long shoulder seams or no shoulder
seams at all, in kimono style, For
practical wear in the morning the
bishop" sleeve is the faVorite but
for afternoon wear the newest blouses
do not seem TO have any sleeves at
all. At the waist they are made so
loose and baggy that they fall over
the belt in folds that seem almost un-
tidy OF course such blouSeS are
made of ultra supple stuffs and they
are almost always cut round at the
neck Il becomes more and more the
fashion to display the throat freely.

According to the policeman who
made the arrest the sensational "Cli-

with the double slit one.
Il should worry about what a crab
