The Use of Beads.
Beads. by the way. are enjoying a re-
markable popularity as a finish for the
neck. They are always in color to har-
monize with the frock with which they
are worn.
Lapis lazuli in some one of its inter
esting shades harmonizes with most Of
the lighter evening shades, and is es-
pecially good with the odd greens and
blues now used. And oriental beads Of
every description are tried and found
good.
In line with the prevalence Of Grecian
drapery in the evening is the wearing
of bracelets above the elbow. These are
sometimes wide bands of wrought gold
and sometimes they are bands Of
canoes or jewels strung together
And bangles too, that dangle about
the wrists in bewildering profusion,
are finding favor In the eyes of few.

B. F. Yoakum Urges Profit
Sharing Control Of Inter

FEDERAL BOND APPROVAL
Advocates Removal Of Censure
Of Securities by State
Commissions.

r. r. Yoakum. chairman Of tho 81.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad Com
pany. has made the suggestion that the
Government enter into . copartnership
with the Interstate railroads and share
the proflts.
Mr. Yoakum also urges strongly the
removal OF the securities OF Interstate
railroads from the censure Of State public
service commissions and the approval Of
their Issuance by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Mr. Yoakum's suggestions are contained
In communication to the House Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce and Is In response to a request for
his views by the chairman OF the COM
mittee He says that fourteen years ago
he advocated cooperation between the
roads and the Federal Government.
"A quasi copartnership without risk
or cost 10 the Government" says Mr.
loakum. might be established through a
Federal license or charter involving a
profit sharing plan for such interstate
railroads IA prefer TO operate under a
Federal charter. A national charter need
not interfere with the authority o. the

ness or State regulation except as to the
Issue or Interstate securities. The profits
accruing to the Government could be dis
tributed for the benefits Of the various
communities served by such railroads, as,
for example. the upkeep Of improved pub.
lie highways"

better for the people than Government
ownership. II would tend 70 increase In
vestments in railroad properties and
would continue to encourage the strong
Individual Initiative force which has been
the fore most factor In the building up OF
the country.
Closer cooperation between the rail-
roads and Washington" Mr.. Yoakum
says. would lead to cheaper money for
the railroads for improvement of their
property and would enable them to oper-
ate more economically. The price of
money to railroad is just as much a
factor in the cost OF transportation as the
price OF coal"
He points out that II the price Of coal
were reduced 20 cents a ton II would
mean a saving In the cost of transporta-
ton in one year OF approximately 3<7,-
0Oo,0 reduction OF ~ per cent per
annum In the interest on the sli.00o.-
100000 funded debt OF the railroads
would mean an annual saving In the cost
OF transportation OF $ls5, 900. 900, which
he says now constitutes a mere economic
waste.
Mr.. Yoakum estimates that II the
country develops as rapidly In the mex,
thirty years as in the past It will require
the construction Of $4,000 miles OF new
roed. VI the development costs 500. 900 a
, mile. the next thirty years will call for
about $4,000. 100000. The difference be-
tween I per cent. and 6is per cent. In the
rate of interest would mean a saving OF
$ls0.000.000 In the cost OF operation.
ON these figures Mr.. Yoakum bases his
argument that Government endorsement,
OF railroad securities would make them
sell at>the lowest rate OF Interest
