RAILROADS APPEAL
 TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re. lief President Wilson Directs Attention of Public to
 Their NeedR

Their Needs.
 The committee of railroad execu- tives, headed by Mir. Frank Trumbun. representing thirty-five of the leading railroad systems of the nation, recent ly presented 10 President Wilson a memorandum briefly reviewing the diff. hculties now confronting the railroads of the country and asking for the CO., operation of the governmental authori- ties and the public In supporting rail road credits and recognizing an emer- gency which requires that the rail roads be given additional revenues.
 The memorandum recites that the European war has resulted in general depression of business on the Ameri- can continent and in the dislocation of credits at home and abroad. With revenues decreasing and interest rates increasing the transportation systems of the country face a most serious crisis and the memorandum is al strong presentation of the candle burning at both ends and the perils that must ultimately attend such a conflagration when the flames meet is apparent to all. In their general discussion the railroad representa- lives say In part: By reason of leg. islation and regulation by the federal government and the forty-eight states acting independently Of each other, as we'll as through the action of a strong public opinion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly increased. No criticism is here made of the gen. eral theory or govefnmental regula- tion, but on the other hand, no in- genuity cnn relieve the carriers of ey. penses created thereby" -t...I
 President Wilson in transmitting the memorandum of the railroad presidents to the public, character izes 1t as "a lucid statement Of plain truth The president recognizing the emergency as extraordinary. con. tinuing, said in part:
 You ask mo to call the attention of the country to the imperative need that railway credits be sustained and the railroads helped in every possible way, whether by private cooperative effort or by the action, wherever feasible of governmental agencies, and l am glad to do SO because l think the need very real"
 The conference was certainly a fortunate one for the nation and the president is to be congratulated for opening the gate to a new world of effort in which everyone may cooper ate.
 There are many important prob lems in our complex civilization that will yield to cooperation which will not lend themselves to arbitrary rul- ings Of commissions and financing railroads is one of them. The man with the money is a factor that can not be eliminated from any business transaction and the public is an inter ested party that should always be con suited and happily the president has invited all to participate in the solu- ton of our railroad problems.

 When Rudolph Van Vechten rallied from the staggering blow of the brutal scarehead. he contrived by a mighty effort to focus his attention upon the sensational news story that lay below, and which shrieked as loud as a lay. ish use of black ink and red ink and double leads could make it. There were smaller headlines-but visible enough, heaven mows-which bore his uncles's name and his own, and most inconspicu of all-doubtless as being the least important factor Mrs. Deyereaux's.
 In the first place, it wac made un. mistakable that everybody who knew or should have known where Paige Carew was. either would not tell. or else they did not know, and 1t was demonstrated how this reticence was conclusive evidence that she had en. countered some untoward fate. Every possible change was rung upon the ex- cited query in the hectic headline. Where is Paige Carew?"
 Rudolph Van Vechten, prominent clubman and well-known society fa- vorite, the missing girls fance, had been signally evasive in his replies. The interview with him was quoted in full and the allusive comments made it appear as if he were at the time dis. tressed to the verge Of insanity.
 A recent celebrated abduction case was summarized, and certain similari- ties between it and Miss Carew's evanishmeut were played up strong" the deliberate intention Of course be- ing to insinuate that the girl had met with like outrage.
 In short so adroitly was the whole thing Worded that the Sphere in no way committed itself; and however Miss Carew might reappear. and what ever the subsequent explanation, it would be good for another "frouJ page' story and the Sphere would have nothing to retract.

FLY SWATTERS Want

Managers Of the Y. NJ. c. A. swat

the people Of Wilmington are neglect
ing TO take proper care Of the garb-
age while waiting for the collectors.
Baskets and boxes of various kinds
are generally used by most OF the
housekeepers. This carelessness is
not OF any one section but is true
Of all parts Of the city. Even people
who are naturally given credit for
being modern thinkers are not TAX
ing preventive measures TO destroy
the fly pest. "Swat the Fly" cam
paigns could be conducted from the
time of the first cign Of spring until
the time of heavy frost and yet If the
breeding places are not destroyed the
work of the campaigns would be in
vain.
Such campaigns do no end Of good
IN killing off some of the flies and
educating the people in making war
generally on the flies. Screens are OF
little use when there is a breeding
place near by, for the young flies are
so small that they can come through
the smallest mesh screen with perfect
ease. The proper garbage cans are
not expensive. and II they were, the
expense would be small compared 10
the comfort and health which would
accompany the expenditure.

sTRIKERs REMAIN FIRM.

The twenty-five Bower glazers who
went on a strike yesterday at the
plant of the New Castle Leather Com
pany, for higher wages, are still out
and some of them declared this morn
ing that It was their intention not to
go back to work until their demands
are granted by the company.
When officials of the company were
asked regarding the strike this morn

time had heard nothing more from
the men who went out.
A meeting of the strikers will be
held in Kirkwood Park, at 4.3O O'Clock
this afternoon. to discuss the strike
situation.
