AN EXTINCT SPECIES


There are no more old ladies. L
you don't believe this, go look at al
the chimney corners you can find, &c
to the front pews in the churches
You won't find any old ladies. Al
least, not the ones you used to know
Once upon a time the matron who haG
reached the very alarming age Of
thirty years was quietly invited by
public opinion to consider herself ole
and to dress in a name that would
have made ever an Egyptian mummy
look worse. She wore bOnnets with
strings to hide the cruel marks OF
time behind her ear and under heT
chin. And she would have persisted in
shame before she donned anything
more hilarious in color than mourning
black or Dattleship gray.
After a while the women forgot to
be old and to retire to the shelf at
thirty. Then they forgot it at forty,
then at fifty, and sixty, and nowadays
the person who can persuade a woman
of seventy that she is anything but a
mere bud is something of a Demos
themes.
We confess we like it. 1t looks
fine, so we think, to see social gath
erings composed of young misses and
their -grandmothers. And one of the
pleasant effects of the changed atti-
tude is in the women's looks. The
somber colors are gone; or at least
the young people are wearing them
instead OF the old.
1t used to be thought that old la
dies ought to branch out no further
toward gayety than lavender and pur-
pie. Fortunately it has been discov-
cred that no color is more unbecom-
ing to age than shades of purple un-
less the woman who wears them has
high color. If there is anything that
can make a woman look faded it is
to don a heavy, cherries gray and
her stick a little lavender about on
her bonnet or at her throat. 1t is
only the high colored, fresh looking
young girls who can wear lavender
and purple and get away with them.
How pretty the elderly folk at sixty
and on up look in soft blues of a
hundred different shades. How a touch
of rose in ribbon or flower brightens
the eye and cheek. How much the
luster of the eye, the bloom of the
skin, the whole vitality of the elderly
woman are enhanced by lively colors;
and how remote the graveyard seems
when the ugly grays and the funereal
blacks no longer envelop the loved
forms whose years on earth are all
too few at best and whose departure
one wants thrust upon the atten-
ton.
AS we said, there are no old la
dies; and those that might be thought
old because they have had quite an
assortment of birthdays are certainly
up. Here's hoping the old Ia
lies of Moscow get hold of some of
bright colored stuffs before all
he European dyes have beer grabbed
fl the market.

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to-


President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to-
Their Needs. -
The committee of railroad eXecu-
lives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
.ailroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ticulties 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 a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such d
3onf1agration 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 strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton. but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
.inuing, said in part:
You ask me 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
| am glad to do so because l think
the need very real" &,
The conference was certainly
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is =, be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper,
ate.
There are many important prob
lens 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-
ssted party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
Aon OF our railroad problems.
